I feel like this the type of shit that life should be about. People doing whatever it takes to help each other and not just forgetting about them afterwards. Salute to you and that man š«”šÆ
[This image](https://durhammuseum.org/history-through-pulitzer-oklahoma-city-bombing/) from the Oklahoma bombing still sends shivers up my spine.
The kid didn't make it. Fuck [Edit] those two murdering scumbags.
My aunt was captain for the EMS a town over from me for like 25 years. Sheās since retired, but was having a drink at her local bar when a guy was trying to cross the street and got hit by a truck. She ran out into the street and did cpr until an ambulance showed up. Saved the guys life. EMS and firefighters are actual superheroes
It would be cool if all action movies ended up with post 20 years scenes, when we can just watch the heroes chilling with the people they saved and their kids
It is whatās happening most of the time to many people in many places around the world. It just doesnāt get noticed as much as the negative stuff because the negative stuff is what makes money in the media.
Your statement is the simple truth, bad news sells. Something I have never really understood, but ppl wouldnāt buy it if it didnāt fascinate them somehow. Maybe we are wired to pay more attention to threat and fear than sunshine and bluebirds. We are complicated I guess.
It pretty much is; we think the media (even social media) is representative of whatās going on, but the media is interested solely in profit and engagement.
News should be limited to one hour a day, at 6pm or some shit. 24/7 news is a disease and most of it is filler shit or rage-bait.
Yeah, he looks tired, his chest probably hurts if heās got any smoke in him (which happens, the masks and stuff protect you but they have to come on and off) and he doesnāt know if itās gonna be too late or just in time for a baby.
And thanks to him, too late became just in time.
If it helps, most humans are good.
It is the systems we've created for governing our lives and economies that are bad, and that cause us to make selfish decisions.
I feel this; How do we scale up tribal lifestyle to this extent. Everyone works together for the benefit of the tribe and greater good and the selfish non contributors are killed or shunned into starvation.
What about a cleric pretending to be a necromancer to infiltrate a necromancers guild?
"So you saved my life, but now I need to act dead?"
"Just until they accept me into their inner circle, shouldn't take more than a few weeks"
"Do you give dental?"
"Of course!"
"I'm in"
Celestial Warlock with Finger of Death. You heal people but those you can't save are put out of their misery and become your zombie thralls.
But if you're looking to do actual CPR, that would be a Mercy Monk, they literally replace one of their punches in Flurry of Blows with 'Hand of Healing', which I always imagine as a CPR-like 'don't you die on me' chest punch.
It usually means āheart stopped beatingā. They didn't actually die but in ye olden days it was 100% death, so it sorta still is death culturally, even if it's not REALLY death.
It's a matter of definition:
* Traditionally, death meant clinical death. In this case, blood circulation and breathing have stopped entirely. However, the brain can survive for a short while and recovery is possible if they are quickly restored. This person may have been clinically dead.
* Currently, death means brain death. In this case, the brain is damaged beyond recovery. Someone can be brain dead without being clinically dead if they are on a ventilator. However, it is irreversible and they can never recover.
There really isnāt anything left to recover when it comes to brain death. At that point the brain is gone to where intelligent thought is no longer possible and only the autonomous nervous system is still active. There never really can be a way to bring someone back from that simply because theyāre already gone. Itās no different from them being shot in the head or decapitated as far as permanence goes.
Yeah, itās the sad reality. Brain dead comas are such a sad scenario because at that point someone is just a corpse with a beating heart but itās very hard for their families to accept that. It makes it harder to come to terms and just makes denial so much worse
Being medically declared dead generally means no chance of resuscitation. In very rare cases this is not the case though: Primarily due to the brain restarting somehow without activity before.
In this case dead probably means no pulse, however.
Yeah, I'd trust my child in the arms of that man. Hell, I'd leap right back into them if it wouldn't flatten the poor retiree...
Edit: that's not saying he's not strong, I'm just saying I need to lose some weight this summer.
Man...as soon as I saw the image I immediately though McConaughey and then, when I took a closer look, I thought "with a little Clive Owen mixed in." I scroll down the comments and I see you guys saying the same thing. I don't know why that's so crazy to me, but sometimes it's neat to see complete strangers seeing things the exact same way!
I was trying so hard, my first thought was McConaughey but less Hollywood if that makes sense but then you said Norm and it clicked, that's the perfect comp.
This guy doesn't look like Nicolas Cage or Matthew McConaughey, or, as someone further down the thread said, Clive Owen or Norm MacDonald.
I am seriously baffled here, because I honestly don't see any resemblance to any of those people whatsoever.
Smoke/flames/heat rise to the top, so a car door at the ground level will be mostly okay. It will eventually still let some in but if you have working smoke detectors, youāll be awake before that point anyhow.
Ah, one of my cats sleep with me, but she usually just woken up , eats her food and gets back to sleep until I wake up in the morning lol she doesn't asks to get out, my male cat do ask to get out in some of the days he sleeps in bedroom, bc he usually sleeps in the living room
Fair, Iām a heavy sleeper so one time before I went to bed my cat butters crawled into my room into my chair and I forgot about it before I fell asleep, and I woke up at normal time with him meowing to be let out. And I felt bad
Close them in.
Edit: closing them in even helps when you canāt get your cats from under the bed (fire is loud and scary) and you evacuate the structure without them. You can tell the firefighters exactly where they are which gives them a better chance of being rescued vs āI have catsā¦ somewhere.ā
Source: EMT and 911 Dispatcher
(not a first responder) but I'd presume that a cat door would still be okay since it shuts itself. It won't be as airtight as a whole door, and risks melting (thereby creating an opening for smoke to come through) but my best guess is that these risks are mitigated by pet doors being low down (smoke rises since it's lighter than air, and hot particles rise).
Either way, you're probably not going to have a cat door to your bedroom, bathroom, etc., so it shouldn't make a massive difference to your personal survival, though it does leave a path for more air to enter from outside to feed the fire. Question, do pet owners lock their pet doors overnight? That would probably help fire safety.
Also, many areas have mandatory "fire doors" into bedrooms in rented accomodation. These doors have a material inside that once heated, expands and creates an airtight seal between the door and door frame. If you can afford it, put them into your own houses but obviously these are useless if you don't close doors!
I had a close call yesterday due to a terrible mishap with my stove. Thankfully it was taken care of before any actual fire could start, but there was a fuckton of smoke. I now know that, along with my new smoke/CO detector, the expired one next to the bedroom also works. And we're able to hear both from the basement.
(Before anyone says anything, my house is only 800sq ft. The one new detector is more than enough for the entirety of the first floor, which is why the one near the bedroom hasn't been changed but it's good to know it also works and is impossible to turn off š I'll probably update it as well soon).
Also a tip for pets - train them to not run away when they hear the alarm. I give mine treats every time it goes off, so they stick around close by. At the very least, if I can get them off, they'll come running for treats and I can get them out of the house. If you can, also keep their leashes/carriers in an easily accessible place.
I am a fire fighter, and I feel like Iām a good one. But that fucking hero just pulled a kid out of the house and still has his throat tab Velcroed? God damn legend.
If I think too hard about work that thing comes undone
So your bunker coat covers 90% off your neck but at the top of the zipper the collar doesnāt cover everything perfectly. Also we wear nomex hoods over our head that tend to cover the throat and neck so the part of the next that isnāt covered by the coat is still protected from some heat so if the throat tab comes undone itās hard to tell by heat alone. If you take off a glove in a fire your hand blisters and melts immediately, if the throat tab comes undone youāll have no idea.
Mix that with the fact that it gets Velcroed on and off as much as any other piece of gear on you and it gets messed with by the air hose to your mask, your hands as youāre grabbing the radio mic to communicate, and anything you have to lift/move goes close to your chest and it comes undone every. single. time.
If youāre in charge of safely at a fire you can just walk around making people put on their throat tab and start pretty busy all day.
There was a man looking for a fire fighter who saved his life but he was sure it would never happen. He posted on FB and my sister saw it as they were casual acquaintances. The name of the fire fighter was our neighbour - a retired fire chief from our small town. My sister connected them and they were able to meet, get interviewed by local papers and radio and most importantly, he got to say thank you. Only two years later my neighbour died of cancer and the man he saved got to be one of his pallbearers. During the funerap, a call came in and 10 fire fighters got up and left. We joked that Dave never wanted a big fuss and this was his way of getting his buddies back to work.
I hope your okay friend. Don't ever give up on this world when there's plenty of goodness in it. Dm me if you ever want to talk to someone (even a complete stranger on the Internet) there's always reasons to keep going. Stay strong and hang in there.
If posts on the internet is determining whether to give up or to not give up on the world, please my friend, take a break from social media and visit the world. Travel around, go talk to locals in person. Thereās so much good to see out in the world and we entrap our minds to the most absolute negative and utter shit we see on the internet, making ourselves believe thereās no hope left.
Sometimes your heart stopping and your blood circulation stopping is considered being medically dead (I think its a bit more then that but Iām not a doctor).
it's not a full circle moment. full circle would be the baby growing up to be a firefighter and saving his saviour. or at least the original firefighters kid/ grandkid.
WTF?
He died??
Sorry but the fellow isn't a firefighter but a necromancer, I have a firefighter friend and he never raised the dead. Or he's hiding it from me.
The country would be a better place today if we all shared moments like this on our socials, rather than point out the flaws of our representatives and peers. But maybe Im just getting 'old' highlighting shit like this šš
Well at the same time we cant just ignore all the problems. Recognizing a problem in order to find solutions tends to be an important step.
edit: It yea not to the levels that we are doing it
I love firefighters so much. I had a manic bipolar episode and had been drinking and the cops and fire came out to check on me. They buzzed my apartment and said they needed to check on me. I said hell no go away. They did. But one of the firefighters came back in the morning and buzzed my intercom and told me he just wanted to check on me but could get in serious trouble for it. He also said the reason he did it is because he thought he heard something in my voice/tone the night before. Guy saved my life. I was armed to the teeth
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency procedure consisting of chest compressions often combined with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
Probably not the sub for this, but I always bristle a bit at āI was dead for 10 minutes and they brought me backā. No they didnāt. You werenāt dead. Death isnāt a reversal state!
Stopped blood circulation has historically proven irreversible in most cases. Prior to the invention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrillation, epinephrine injection, and other treatments in the 20th century, the absence of blood circulation (and vital functions related to blood circulation) was historically considered the official definition of death. With the advent of these strategies, cardiac arrest came to be called clinical death rather than *simply death*, to reflect the possibility of post-arrest resuscitation.
There.
I feel like this the type of shit that life should be about. People doing whatever it takes to help each other and not just forgetting about them afterwards. Salute to you and that man š«”šÆ

In the second picture, he resembles a classic action hero in the non-action scenes.

I worked in EMS for 13 years. I've never met a bunch that embodied the Captain America vibe more than firefighters.
[This image](https://durhammuseum.org/history-through-pulitzer-oklahoma-city-bombing/) from the Oklahoma bombing still sends shivers up my spine. The kid didn't make it. Fuck [Edit] those two murdering scumbags.
I feel so terrible for the parents of that child. That photo was, and continues to be, everywhere.
Why even bother remembering those names?? The best thing against those kind of fucks is to forget them and never mention their name ever again
I live next door to a family of Chicago EMS and firefighters. All their kids including their girl are Eagle Scouts. Finest people on earth.
My aunt was captain for the EMS a town over from me for like 25 years. Sheās since retired, but was having a drink at her local bar when a guy was trying to cross the street and got hit by a truck.

Heās in the Liam/Denzel old man action hero phase of his career
No one even went with the most obvious low-hanging fruit of Harrison Ford?
young tom hanks
I was thinking that in the first photo he resembled Eddie Vedder and in the second photo he resembled Tim Allen. Both heroes to many.

The look on his face in the first pic!! Heās seen things.
Yeah, he looks tired, his chest probably hurts if heās got any smoke in him (which happens, the masks and stuff protect you but they have to come on and off) and he doesnāt know if itās gonna be too late or just in time for a baby. And thanks to him, too late became just in time.
Nah man, we need to argue about what people do in the bedroom, what they wear, and we need to put shareholders first.
Yeah. That's why my current catchphrase is "fuck this timeline". But posts like this do help with keeping a little bit of faith in humans.
If it helps, most humans are good. It is the systems we've created for governing our lives and economies that are bad, and that cause us to make selfish decisions.
Why donāt the Tik Tokers that go around harassing people make videos about āambushingā rescuers with people they saved?
I IS what life should be about. This cult of personality of hate that's evolving in the modern world needs to END.
It is. Dont let this internet poison fool you. Life has always been about protecting life.
But helping each other is woke
Literally nobody has ever said that.
Be the change you want to see in the world then

I feel this; How do we scale up tribal lifestyle to this extent. Everyone works together for the benefit of the tribe and greater good and the selfish non contributors are killed or shunned into starvation.
A tribe called Earth. *sigh*
I was confused at first at the "i died that day". How are you writing this, then? You're a zombie, or what? "He brought me back to life" aaahhhh
You'd be surprised how many firefighters run a decent sideline in necromancy.
Now i wanna play a dnd character with charisma/dex. Doing CPR on people and then convincing them, that they're my undead minions now
What about a cleric pretending to be a necromancer to infiltrate a necromancers guild? "So you saved my life, but now I need to act dead?" "Just until they accept me into their inner circle, shouldn't take more than a few weeks" "Do you give dental?" "Of course!" "I'm in"

Reading it and replacing the word "firefighter" with "necromancer" sounds like I'm reading an intro episode of a fantasy anime XD
Literally Fire Force

It bums me out a little that we haven't figured out a way to recover someone from brain death tbh
There really isnāt anything left to recover when it comes to brain death.

Doesn't that bum you out, though?
Yeah, itās the sad reality. Brain dead comas are such a sad scenario because at that point someone is just a corpse with a beating heart but itās very hard for their families to accept that. It makes it harder to come to terms and just makes denial so much worse
*yet*
True. It's probably more accurate to say "I almost died" or "I would have died", if it weren't for...
Would it though? Because in hospitals you could be medically declared dead for like 7 minutes and brought back to life canāt you?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Being medically declared dead generally means no chance of resuscitation. In very rare cases this is not the case though: Primarily due to the brain restarting somehow without activity before. In this case dead probably means no pulse, however.
No.
No
āWere you killed?ā
Sadly, yes. But I lived!
Yeah, I'd trust my child in the arms of that man. Hell, I'd leap right back into them if it wouldn't flatten the poor retiree... Edit: that's not saying he's not strong, I'm just saying I need to lose some weight this summer.
š¤£ that has me howling with laughter in our office
I figured it was either figurative, or he could have stopped breathing, and was given CPR or something.
Not to kill the vibe but I totally thought that was Nicolas Cage for a sec
I 100% thought the same.
r/onetruegod
r/ofcoursethatsasub

We didn't see the same movie but it's clear as day that's John Travolta š
Yes, because of the yellow hat.

Bot alert. Downvote it into oblivion!
I thought that was Matthew McConaughey. But whoever, he is a hero! ā¤ļø
Whatās this weird effect? When someone resembles someone else there is always also a completely different second person they also resemble.
I thought is that Clive Owen at first
Clive Owen!! I couldnāt think of the name but thatās it! You nailed it!

Bro i thought it was Norm Mcdonald
It reminds me of that tragedy
I thought the same.
Looks like Nicholas Cage and Pedro Pascal combined
Hitting a Brendan Fraser too
I thought Norm Macdonald
I thought so too if it wasn't for the yellow head scarf
Did Nick Cage and Eric Bana fuck?
I thought it was Val Kilmer(?) at first lol
I thought it was Clive Owen on the left and Tim Allen on the right
I'm getting a bit of Sam Rockwell also?
He looks like a dam action hero in the first image.
Because he is one. No costume
no costume? he's wearing a firefighter attire, a _real_ superhero costume!
That's what firefighters are. Actual real life super heros
It's their hero suit
Please have working smoke detectors and a fire escape plan! Please?! You and your families are worth it!
And also [CLOSE YOUR DOORS WHEN YOU SLEEP](https://closeyourdoor.org/#close-before-you-doze)

I love these kind of posts. It must make the person who helped them feel so glad their life led them to that moment.
I thought for a sec the first pic is from a movie or something .
Whoever took that first photo did a damn fine job
Just beautiful!
The eyes of the firefighter in the first picture. What a man.
And that's why nobody made a song called fuck the fire department.
That fact that he remembered the man... So sweet both deserve to smile that way š„²
I know this is wholesome but.. he got resurrected.
Sometimes saving one life saves many lives
This is beautiful. Btw, saw the pic on the right first, I saw Tim Allen.
Firefighters are the shit.
Preach šÆ
Its nice to have heros.
Ok, so he didn't die...confused me, like wtf is writing this if you died that day?
Sometimes your heart stopping and your blood circulation stopping is considered being medically dead (I think its a bit more then that but Iām not a doctor).

Ngl, I really thought he was rescued and then married the fireman who rescued him 20 years later and then adopted with him lol.
Why would he do that ššššthat would be more traumatic than the whole fire incident
That's some good shit
Bless
šš
This is the kind of stuff that will 100% make me cry every time
The firefighter should get their own Cereal named after them
No one is going to mention how the firefighter has barely aged in 23 years?!? Geez those are some Tom Cruise-esque genes right there.

100%, they have days at the job where they literally go through hell to save people.
Wonderful
Thanks for sharing. Made me smile

The look of terror in his eyes in that first picture, he truly feared for that child's life. That is a real world superhero.
my dumbass thought they got married and adopted a child
happy ending?
Firefighters and EMTs are the real heroes and never get enough love. Or pay...
Aināt no song called āFuck The Firemenā

Wait how was bro dead and brought back to life?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an emergency procedure consisting of chest compressions often combined with artificial ventilation in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest.
When a person needs CPR, it is because his or her pulse and breathing has stoppedāclinically, they are already dead.
First aid including this should be part of any school curriculum, regardless of country.
Firefighters,EMTs, doctors and medical specialists are real life superheroes
Again, there ain't no song called "F\*#k the Fire Department".
I mean, if you had died, then you'd be, ya know, dead sooooo...

"I ended up dying that day" "he brought me back to life" bruh wut?
Probably not the sub for this, but I always bristle a bit at āI was dead for 10 minutes and they brought me backā. No they didnāt. You werenāt dead. Death isnāt a reversal state!
Clinical death is reversible, but not biological death. Google the definitions.
Stopped blood circulation has historically proven irreversible in most cases. Prior to the invention of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), defibrillation, epinephrine injection, and other treatments in the 20th century, the absence of blood circulation (and vital functions related to blood circulation) was historically considered the official definition of death. With the advent of these strategies, cardiac arrest came to be called clinical death rather than *simply death*, to reflect the possibility of post-arrest resuscitation. There.
This is why we should respect firefighters more than police.
A white personal saving a black persons life? In America? How refreshing
Firemen don't carry guns...
