Torrance Fire Fighter Gets Educated About The Law
** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **
I don't make $321,000 a year but I do provide free training. The city should reimburse me.
ive talked to that cop in person at the beach one time. hes a pretty funny guy
😸ðŸ‘
You interrupted a nice officer who was pulling out his toy drone to have some fun too.
New York firefighters aren't even paid that much jeez
Lmfao that cop was stoned as a mf playing with the drone 😂😂
torrance fire is an absolute joke
New subscriber here. I'm impressed by your knowledge of the laws that cover your activity and respect that you are very professional in dealing with the police/firemen. Great channel!
Why would anyone put thumbs down on this video this finally went right buy the blue.
Fucking cameraman piece of shit that you get in the middle of a real worker.
You are such a kook. Why don't you do something useful with your life.
He was just advising you…EMS has that responsibility. It's just common sense, don't take it too personal…you don't have safety equipment or the knowledge no offense. That comes on special course called HAZMAT.
such bs when someone that doesn't know you is concerned for your safety when in reality can give a rats a** about your safety!!
Why would so many ignorant people dislike this video? But the Firefighter didn't say it was his responsibility. He said it was his concern.
I wish all police officers are like that officer.
nazis
Firefighters save your municipality millions upon millions of property damage setbacks. It's also illegal to strike as a FF because unlike yourself, they provide an essential service to a community. At a moments notice we expect them to rescue in any context, & sometimes put their own personal safety at risk.
Firefighters like to pretend like they've got alot of power. Even more than police officers do.
I mean you could just not be an asshole and let the gentleman work in peace. It’s people like you that make me wish we could knock people out while on calls.
Fire conditions at that point were very low level. All though,.. so. Poisoned gasses can still be present even from where filming was being shot,… if conditions were worse, and the scene was full of smoke,.. even I would have asked you to relocate yourself…
Another idiot trying to cause trouble. Great job Torrance Torrance Fire Department. Dude quit trying to be an asshole.
It wasnt about the law tou idiot. It was about the fact that you were trying to go UPHILL from a fire.. you're a moron.
He’s putting a fire out you goof .. and your more worried about getting your shitty shot … they don’t need or want to worry about someone getting close to a possible hazard .. he’s saving lives and houses .. listen to him and back off plug .
It's amazing how police and fire dont know the law they're trying to enforce.
Cool drone
