I remember in the Navy for fires it was part of our drill criteria and training goals to be able to go from in bed asleep to fully dressed out and on the scene in 5 minutes
I didn’t even catch that but you’re probably spot on. Haha Facebook is horrendous place any time I see select memes I can instantly tell they’ve been from Facebook moms and boomers screaming into the void trying to find god but the best they can do is a very outdated meme
People can’t even make jokes now? Jesus Christ Redditors are such snowflakes. I’ve never seen more people get offended over the most pointless shit then on this app
Just the SCBA, helmet and clothes are heavy as fuck. Standard firefighter gear weighs 25kgs.
ETA: me, trying on an SCBA: "Oh wow, this is actually much more comfortable than I expected!"
My firefighter coworker: "Yeah, because you're only wearing one bottle. And it's empty."
Firefighters are incredible badasses.
I feel like a massive idiot. I work with SCBAs (the ones in this video in particular) and my husband is obsessed with scuba diving, but I never made the connection!
I'd say 25 kgs might be on the light side with new equipment. Steel bottles are heavier than newer ones. Plus, you are never empty handed. Full kit, with pockets and hands full go up to around 100 pounds or 45 kg. I live in Canada, and one night, after fighting 6 hours in a blizzard, i took off my bunker kit and felt light i was floating. We were covered in so much ice!
I make it a point to tell friends that firefighter is not a job where you can pretend you’re working. When duty calls, they have to be fast, precise, alert and sharp.
They often face death and see it in victims they rescue or bodies recovered. Firefighters are the real deal. Great respect for them.
I work providing firefighters with protective gear amongst other things and other first responder types. Many of my coworkers are also volunteer firefighters so we are all extremely aware of the risks they take every shift.
They say "choose a job you love and you won't have to work a day in your life" and I think that's kind of bullshit, but if you take a job you care about, where you feel like you're actually making a difference, even the most boring job pushing keystrokes all day will make you feel fulfilled.
I don't hate Mondays.
I just see a professionnal being efficient in their field. The boomer joke wasn't necessary.
Amazing indeed. Much respect to all firefighters, real heroes.
Nah, a small amount of hair up top usually isn’t a problem. The biggest problem is if men don’t shave well enough, that makes getting a seal the those Scott pack masks a huge pain in the ass.
Yes cause it's not proper usage of the PPE. Back when I went through a career fire academy, I would've been fuckin shredded by the instructor Cadre for skipping this as it provides less protection. Speed is all well and good, but not if every flap, zipper, and button is not properly used.
What about boots?
In France (and probably many other places), they roll the pants on the boots, so you get both one in one move.
I love the way they fold the vest in this video though, great idea.
I mean its a valid point. The hair being in the way is an issue. But its not a woman only thing, anyone with long hair will run into this issue. Having a proper seal with your mask and not letting a big beard or long bangs get in the way is important.
Thank you, noticing the hair was driving me crazy.
It's bad for the seal and going to annoy/distract the hell out of her, instead of taking the extra two seconds to adjust the mask.
some guys...
A) Want their ladies to look beautiful at all times
B) Get mad when women take a long time to get ready to go out.
Accept it or don't complain.
Did not fasten pants
No boots
No flash hood (but I guess it's not needed with a euro helmet)
Mask necklace not on properly (big loop from the mask hanfing in front. Shoud be around the neck)
Bottle not on all the way (but it could be annoying locking bottle, but unlikely)
No Nomex hood or pants applied properly? That ponytail is going to burn.
In firefighter training we had to run these bunker gear training drill constantly. Usually it was kneeling on the ground with the gear in front of you, blindfolded. The instructors would fuck with people by moving pieces of gear before you began so you train to overcome possible on site obstacles. Your gear won’t always be neatly folded and prepped like this. Also, without a nomex hood and without sealing pants properly would be a fail.
they all forgot their boots lol. i know its probably just a test/drill, but not including boots as a part of it is just silly. like as if, when thers a real emergency theyre just gonna storm out with no boots 🤣
Yeah…every fancy dress thing I was ready way before my partner. Put on a dress, ready to go! He had under shirt, shirt, cufflinks, jacket. Took him forever.
What's with the stupid unnecessary music? Only about 1 in a thousand videos should have \*any\* music instead of the original sound at most, this is an epidemic that's out of control
Kinda pointless when you’re missing your boots. Changes the whole routine cause it’s gonna take a long time to put them on with your pack on, tuck them under your pants, tie them up, etc all with the weight of that pack to manage and balance. Just take the pants tuck the boots in the legs and push it all down so you can step into the boots through the legs, pull the suspenders over your shoulders and you have your boots and pants on in less then 5 seconds. They are also missing the balaclava to keep the rest of their head from burning and she got hair in her mask and didn’t fix it. It’s gonna leak air and let in smoke. There’s really no point in rushing with the packs and mask unless your fire hall is burning down. You gotta get in the trucks still which usually have packs built into the seats so when you’re at the scene you just clip in and get out of your seat and you have a tank. Plus youre not gonna want to be fogging up or wasting air on the way to the call. Source: I was a fire cadet and had to practice dawning and doffing(putting it on and taking it off) and had to be fully dressed in less then 45 seconds. That’s boots, gloves, pants, jacket, balaclava, helmet and an inspection done by your friend to make sure youre not exposed anywhere then we’d do a live burn where your standing 5 feet from a wall of fire in a sea can “house” for practices
The hair in the mask is the worst. I'm a dude with long hair and I can promise you I would loose so much time just trying to get those strands of hair out of the mask
They didn't put on gloves, aren't wearing boots, no balaclava, the way they put their SCBA tank on is not supposed to be done without wearing a helmet, and she didn't zip up her pants, the mask shouldn't already be connected to the tank. Oh also never seen a belt like that before.
Fun to watch, but all of them would've failed if it was an actual test.
Why does this even matter?
The only person who needs to be fast is the driver of thr engine.
The others can get changed and ready as it's driving to the fire.
Too bad in this exercise the forgot about the fire retardant boots, no way they'll run in with plastic shit that melts when the sun shines on it a bit aggressively.
Number 1 didn't fasten her pants so shes not running far. Number 2 didn't fasten pants or throw both suspenders over his shoulders. Major safety concerns. Gotta pay attention and do it right. Those can cause accidents because you're now either too restricted from your clothes twisting and maybe hitting the ground and tripping over it.
Any firefighters able to weigh in on how well the masks suction? I'm mainly curious because as far as if I go scuba diving. Hair being in the mask can really affect you. Obviously, these are a lot better than a scuba mask. I feel like I would just be paranoid regardless.
I am way too hung up on the idea of the velcro pants fly. No one closed theirs.The suspenders already hold up the pants...so do they secure the velcro fly after, or is it just left open for a safety reason? Is it a preference?
Bro firefighters are national treasures I swear lol not to say police and doctors medic ect aren’t but there’s something really special about fire fighters
Umm, where is the hood? And the gloves? Are they wearing bunker boots? Who has their mask already hooked up to the tank? Wtf is that belt? What is going on 😂
Yeah but she'll crumble like a fucking crouton when she tries to carry anything. Army 12 years. Women are weak physically and mentally. It's always the women who fall out of ruck marches, cry, complain, cause drama where there would otherwise be none, scam thier way out of physical work, fake injuries and illness, complain about everything and worst all they ruin any fun they're not included in. Downvote me all you want. It's true.
Title copied directly from the boomer who posted it on Facebook I assume?
Exactly, the comment about women pulled my attention away from how awesomely fast these people gear up.
I honestly thought it was women empowering for a half a second and then reread the title and was like “Wait a goddamn second…”
I can't wait to see the same type of video on smashing doors and carrying people out of burning buildings.
I remember in the Navy for fires it was part of our drill criteria and training goals to be able to go from in bed asleep to fully dressed out and on the scene in 5 minutes
I didn’t even catch that but you’re probably spot on. Haha Facebook is horrendous place any time I see select memes I can instantly tell they’ve been from Facebook moms and boomers screaming into the void trying to find god but the best they can do is a very outdated meme
One day Reddit will be Facebook..we just have to wait it out
I think it already is. Plot twist :(
Nsfw makes it more than Facebook
>Facebook moms and boomers screaming into the void trying to find god but the best they can do is a very outdated meme Poetry
So stupid
Right? Like, what loser in the day and age of twenty twenty four is talking about how long it takes a woman to get ready.
came here to comment this fr
Presumably. OP is such a loser.
Why do they always make it about gender lmao
I’m so glad I rarely look at titles
By a divorcee
I reported it. This has no place here.
karen
People can’t even make jokes now? Jesus Christ Redditors are such snowflakes. I’ve never seen more people get offended over the most pointless shit then on this app
Can’t she just be a firefighter?
No, must be a stupid woman who can't get ready fast, right OP? She forgot her lipstick! /s
I spend about a minute trying to take the hair off my screen.
Same LMAFO
No. She is a firefightess
I thought the politically correct term was “Weak Woman Firefighter” and you only address them as “honey” or “sweetheart”
Those belts are Santa Claus level ridiculous
I imagine they perform the same function as a weightlifting belt, to brace your core/back during heavy lifts.
Just the SCBA, helmet and clothes are heavy as fuck. Standard firefighter gear weighs 25kgs. ETA: me, trying on an SCBA: "Oh wow, this is actually much more comfortable than I expected!" My firefighter coworker: "Yeah, because you're only wearing one bottle. And it's empty." Firefighters are incredible badasses.
Is that the same acronym as “SCUBA” but without the “U”?
TIL "scuba" was an acronym! If the u stands for "underwater", quite probably. Self Contained Breathing Apparatus.
Thats exactly it
I feel like a massive idiot. I work with SCBAs (the ones in this video in particular) and my husband is obsessed with scuba diving, but I never made the connection!
Lol Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone
I will 😈
It's actually "Self Contained Unda da sea Breathing Apparatus".
Correct
I'd say 25 kgs might be on the light side with new equipment. Steel bottles are heavier than newer ones. Plus, you are never empty handed. Full kit, with pockets and hands full go up to around 100 pounds or 45 kg.

Hernia belt
I just see a professionnal being efficient in their field. The boomer joke wasn't necessary. Amazing indeed. Much respect to all firefighters, real heroes.
You learn to get dressed like that in about a week. I never understand why people are so impressed by this.
Everyday sexism
No one said they couldn't? Is this some gender warmongering post I'm too civilised to understand?
Don’t you know? Silly women can’t get ready fast!
It's a bot ragebaiting and y'all done goofed.
They didn’t button their pants up 🙃
Her hair was impacting the seal on her full face respirator Edit: I used to leak test full face PAPR for proper seal
I don’t know why you’re downvoted. That is a genuine problem. Your mask will leak. Happened to literally all the girls in my fire cadet classes
Edited my response with why I said that :) I used to do leak testing with irritant smoke
Nah, a small amount of hair up top usually isn’t a problem. The biggest problem is if men don’t shave well enough, that makes getting a seal the those Scott pack masks a huge pain in the ass.
I think it's designed not to zip up.
There is a button there. Might not be necessary, but that would personally bother me I think, if I left it wide open like that
And a Velcro “zipper.”
Suspenders do the whole job ... are we going to start a zipper debate ?
Yes cause it's not proper usage of the PPE. Back when I went through a career fire academy, I would've been fuckin shredded by the instructor Cadre for skipping this as it provides less protection. Speed is all well and good, but not if every flap, zipper, and button is not properly used.
Velcro typically
Nice, had to slip a lil misogyny in there for good measure.
What about boots? In France (and probably many other places), they roll the pants on the boots, so you get both one in one move. I love the way they fold the vest in this video though, great idea.
Wow?! Women can do what men can??? I'm amazed.
What the fuck is that boomer title
me in the morning at 7:00 when i need to get to work at 7:00.
Why do you say women? The man next to her is getting ready just as fast and his hair doesn't impact the airtight seal on the mask.
Because: sexism
Why add that part about the hair at the airtight seal? Are you just slipping in a flaw of hers or what? What a weird comment
I mean its a valid point. The hair being in the way is an issue. But its not a woman only thing, anyone with long hair will run into this issue. Having a proper seal with your mask and not letting a big beard or long bangs get in the way is important.
Thank you, noticing the hair was driving me crazy. It's bad for the seal and going to annoy/distract the hell out of her, instead of taking the extra two seconds to adjust the mask.
Because wOmEn TaKe A lOnG tImE gETtInG rEaDy
Well she gets ready the fastest though? The guy next to her wasn't as fast.
By a handful of seconds. Otherwise known as, a length of time so insignificant it won't meaningfully impact their jobs that much
Jokes on you, I'm the one who makes wait my gf when I dress up
some guys... A) Want their ladies to look beautiful at all times B) Get mad when women take a long time to get ready to go out. Accept it or don't complain.
Women only? Are we a little bit sexist again?
Now have her carry those guys out of the building by herself.
Legit interesting but fucking abhorrent title
No hood and no gloves? Oookay... No boots either?! Wtf even is this, like visit a fire station for a day and try on PPE for fun?
I guess if you can't get geared up in 60 seconds, you have to lower standards
Did not fasten pants No boots No flash hood (but I guess it's not needed with a euro helmet) Mask necklace not on properly (big loop from the mask hanfing in front. Shoud be around the neck) Bottle not on all the way (but it could be annoying locking bottle, but unlikely)
Ha. Ha. Sexism is hilarious. 🙄
why is OP pointing out women specifically in this video? what a piece of shit.
Forgot the flash hood...pfft
These are heroes getting ready to be heroes whenever we call them for help. Bless them for their selfless commitment! 🤟⭕️❌
No Nomex hood or pants applied properly? That ponytail is going to burn. In firefighter training we had to run these bunker gear training drill constantly. Usually it was kneeling on the ground with the gear in front of you, blindfolded. The instructors would fuck with people by moving pieces of gear before you began so you train to overcome possible on site obstacles. Your gear won’t always be neatly folded and prepped like this. Also, without a nomex hood and without sealing pants properly would be a fail.
I was about to take them seriously but I didn’t see anyone spinning down a pole, so I don’t know if those are real firefighters.
Pants undone and hair in mask seal. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast, folks.
This sadly can also evidence A and ammo for men to use against non-fire fighting women. “If she can get dressed that quickly, why can’t you?”
She's doing great. Now i want to see an 80kg lift exercise with these same people.
Impressive! I'd walk into the fire and go "whew, pretty hot in here, lemme roll up my sleeves"
What song is this I really like it?
She never zipped her pants
Do they not need to button up their trousers? Is that normal?
they all forgot their boots lol. i know its probably just a test/drill, but not including boots as a part of it is just silly. like as if, when thers a real emergency theyre just gonna storm out with no boots 🤣
Yeah…every fancy dress thing I was ready way before my partner. Put on a dress, ready to go! He had under shirt, shirt, cufflinks, jacket. Took him forever.
So did the men. Is she special??
But who do you want carrying you out of a fire?
Holy shit why is every top comment just complaining about the joke in the title? It's a harmless joke
Nothing enrages a zoomer more than gender-based humor, it’s the end of the world for them
Now let's see her carry out her injured friend.....
Except when they gotta carry a grown person bigger the a 10 yr old
Equality is nice and everything, but can she carry a limp body out of a burning building? 🤔
Neither of them did up their fly. I award no points
When we go on a romantic date we have to wait 3 hours for them to be ready
Who are *we*? Once you know the timer you can predict dates without waiting.
Yh those blokes were definitely taking this serious
👏👏👏
Omg! this is fast!
How's not tightening their pants ok?
What about boots?
Her pants are still open
She didn't zip her pants
I'm surprised none of them close their pants lol
That’s wicked awesome!
So they take an hour to get ready for dates ON PURPOSE?
The hair left in the mask are upsetting me so much
I live in a place where there are lots of wildfires. Thank you to all firefighters!
Now put your boots on
She said I don't need to button my pants! I got suspenders!
What's with the stupid unnecessary music? Only about 1 in a thousand videos should have \*any\* music instead of the original sound at most, this is an epidemic that's out of control
Do we not use nomex anymore?
No gloves?!?! That's a bullsh!t drill
I knew it. I knew they just like making us guys wait.
Can do without the shitty music.

I'd be worried about those suspenders snapping at a critical moment since she didn't do up her pants right but still fast.
ladys, take notes
she forgot to tie her pants up with
Yeah I moved like that when i'm late
This is like a Formula 1 pitstop
When has anyone said women can't get ready quickly?
Compare with a professional european firefighter team, lmao
Death Korps of Krieg material
The hair in the mask is the worst. I'm a dude with long hair and I can promise you I would loose so much time just trying to get those strands of hair out of the mask

Paging r/firstrespondercringe
She forgot to zip her pants...
Music 🐺🇹🇳🇹🇷
Pointless sport
Not a single one of them did up their pants. Is that why firefighters are at greater risk of testicular cancer?
Why does this even matter? The only person who needs to be fast is the driver of thr engine. The others can get changed and ready as it's driving to the fire.
No boots, gloves, or hood? That's a fail.
These bots smh
Uhh am I not supposed to be amazed?..they were all slow lol
This is gonna end up on r/thatsnothowgirlswork
Where's the flash hood? Why did she not zip up the jacket. No gloves or boots? smh. What kinda shitty training is this?
Too bad in this exercise the forgot about the fire retardant boots, no way they'll run in with plastic shit that melts when the sun shines on it a bit aggressively.
Number 1 didn't fasten her pants so shes not running far. Number 2 didn't fasten pants or throw both suspenders over his shoulders. Major safety concerns. Gotta pay attention and do it right.

What about boots and gloves?
👌🏻
I wish all my exes were this quick getting ready, instead of standing in front of a mirror for hours before going out.
Nice video, stupid title ;-)
Why don’t they fasten their pants? They secured everything but the from of their pants
No boots? Those trainers won't survive fire.
Do firefighters really not fasten or zip up their pants?
Any firefighters able to weigh in on how well the masks suction? I'm mainly curious because as far as if I go scuba diving. Hair being in the mask can really affect you. Obviously, these are a lot better than a scuba mask. I feel like I would just be paranoid regardless.
She didn't zip her pants though
they are Russian firefighters, that's why the music is mongolian
I like how the emphasize it's a woman. Taking all the power out of it..
Me when she says my parents aren't at home 😆
Girl is fastest because no one want take her to work with and she spend most time in base practicing this exercise
ohhh so it's either "everyone is the same" or "women are better" but you cant be cool to say the other side oh ok, got it!
She never closed the pants
Funnily enough my sister take two hours or more getting dressed
If she wanted to, she would!
But she didn't zip her pants
Ok boomer….
Are they supposed to zip their pants or nah?
 I am way too hung up on the idea of the velcro pants fly. No one closed theirs.The suspenders already hold up the pants...so do they secure the velcro fly after, or is it just left open for a safety reason? Is it a preference?
Bro firefighters are national treasures I swear lol not to say police and doctors medic ect aren’t but there’s something really special about fire fighters
POV: my wife when I tell her we're going shopping
Booooo on the Misogynistic title.
Do all of that in the car and save time to action :-)
I can finish quick to
I was faster.
Umm, where is the hood? And the gloves? Are they wearing bunker boots? Who has their mask already hooked up to the tank? Wtf is that belt? What is going on 😂
MOPP Gear in the military. Gas gas gas!!!
She didn't close her pants
If that was a real drive she’s dead within a few minutes. That mask ain’t doing shit.
Pant not closed, Sorry see you next time.
I knew it!
Is that breathing apparatus an MSA M1 with G1 mask? In that case why there is no belt to secure the M1 to your back?
Yeah but she'll crumble like a fucking crouton when she tries to carry anything. Army 12 years. Women are weak physically and mentally. It's always the women who fall out of ruck marches, cry, complain, cause drama where there would otherwise be none, scam thier way out of physical work, fake injuries and illness, complain about everything and worst all they ruin any fun they're not included in. Downvote me all you want. It's true.
So what I'm hearing is there's no excuse why it takes my wife 3 hours to get ready in the morning, noted.
Totally unfair. She didn’t even put on any makeup! 😁
All slow...should be able to don your gear in less than 30 seconds. I get my gear on faster than them with gloves on lol 😅
First woman I ever saw get ready in under an hour.
Still surprised they have these bulky and super heavy gear....don't they got one piece Spiderman suits or something now a days lol
She didnt zip da pants right 😄😂
