@vauxhall_cross: I have a million questions! They have such an interesting unit here - rescuers, firefighters, and paramedics. How is that even possible? I can still imagine that firefighters and rescuers are in the same structure (although it seemed to me that rescuers are a separate topic, like the Ministry of Emergency Situations), but the felshers are somehow not at all close, no? What is your part in this plan? And I have a huge question - how is it that Mills suddenly decided to go to the police, and he's like, no question, then Dawson decided to go to the fire department - she's like that too, no question - how is it at all? Aren't the police academy, the fire department, and the felshers all studying in completely different places? They also have a billion tools here, and to unbend the car, and all sorts of endless ropes to pick up everything - do we have such rescuers? And firefighters all have fashionable masks - how do we deal with this, do our guys in masks also enter a burning building? And we also get people first, then they just start putting out? But these smoke chips of theirs "oh, the smoke has darkened, now everything will collapse" - are you fumbling around in all this?
@Dr_acarys: I probably need to clarify that I am a firefighter not in Russia, but in Germany, so I am familiar with the American system, I am more familiar with the German, but with the Russian... I can only suspect from all the videos from the accident scenes that I sometimes watch. But, yes, in the USA (in Canada, in Germany, it seems, in most of the world), both firefighters and paramedics (EMS) are part of the same structure. Rescuers are the same firefighters, only they have received additional training and have their own car. Rescue squad drive a squad truck(s), like Severide and his company. They have their own area of tasks, such as rescue at altitude or working with hydraulics at the scene of an accident, but, damn, any firefighter should be able to cope with hydraulics. Yes, they are similar to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, but, nevertheless, they carry out fire extinguishing work, if necessary, on a par with firefighters. This... well, everything and everyone can and should be able to do - provide first aid, cut people out of cars, cut trees, pump water out of rain-flooded basements, extinguish a fire and rescue a duckling stuck with a paw somewhere. Except for the paramedics, because they are only for first aid.
@Dr_acarys: For example, our studies take place at the same fire academy - for both firefighters and paramedics, just according to different programs. Firefighters here, for example, receive training as both a firefighter and a paramedic, and therefore can "jump" around cars depending on the mood and need. But this is the German system, in the USA there is a clear division, in Russia too, where they are divided into paramedics, which are not related to firefighters at all, and, in fact, firefighters and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. My part is a little different from the one shown in the series, because we are all volunteer firefighters, and in my part, for example, there are three fire trucks, but there are no ambulances. For those who work as firefighters, and do not do it voluntarily, in my city there are always at least two ambulances at fire stations, or even more. There are also volunteers with ambulances, but they are all on the outskirts of the city, so they have an additional task to provide first aid, because they are on the spot faster than those who come from somewhere in the center. Policemen and firefighters - yes, in different ones. These two services have no common ground in this. I suspect it meant passing the tests for admission to study. Here and there, both Mills and Dawson could have contributed, and with their training, going through this is not a problem. Of course, such tools and devices are standard, I think, for most countries. Although, of course, it seemed to me that ammunition was also the standard, but not all countries allocate money for their rescue services to have this by default. In any case, there are emergency vehicles where hydraulics (Octopus), pneumatic tools, winch, lighting and everything else is always on board.
@Dr_acarys: This is necessary so that on almost any call, the necessary assistance can be provided in a timely manner when the count is in seconds. Yes, of course, personal respiratory protection equipment (PPE) is a prerequisite for working in a smoky space. Well, I hope so, at least. That the time of the daredevils from "Reverse Thrust" has already passed. Smoke is damn carcinogenic, especially now, when sometimes you don't know what can burn, and firefighters are at very high risk of getting cancer or COPD or some other rubbish for a couple of times without a mask. No one needs it, really. Everyone wants to live and continue to do their job. And masks are not necessarily worn when working only in burning buildings. Personally, I'm not going to put out even a trash can without it, because, seriously, it's not worth it. And tactics in a fire depends on the situation - what burns, where it burns, how it burns, whether there is someone who can burn, etc. Yes, saving human lives and animal lives is the main priority in any situation in this service (fire, accident or flood - I don't care), so first, if possible, they save, and only then they begin to extinguish. Although challenges like every episode here happen... Well, rarely. In a big city - a couple of times a day, no more. Most often, there are faulty fire sensors or one or another food forgotten somewhere that starts to burn. The color of the smoke depends on what is already burning and how much. Yes, you can determine a lot from it, and it learns more from your own experience than from the classroom, but, yes, you need to know this. A lot of text, oh yes, but I hope I was able to answer your questions.
@vauxhall_cross: thank you so much for such a detailed and understandable answer! :) a small question remains, if you suddenly know - in Russia, after all, firefighters are only firefighters, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations is engaged in rescue, or are they firefighters + rescuers in one?
About "such fires happen a couple of times a day" - on the contrary, I thought a couple of times a year about
@Dr_acarys: If we talk about ministries and reporting, the Federal Fire Service of the Russian Federation is part of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. In fact, it is the same service. If we talk about functions, then Russian firefighters, as far as I can tell, go not only to fires, but also to accident sites, for example.
Again, it depends on the city. Chicago is a megacity, where large fires with possible victims due to the number of people occur more often than in a town of a couple thousand people. But in the city, and not in one area, as shown in the series, where, of course, there should be more drama for the sake of drama.
@NataSi: And what do you think is wrong with her? What should another woman be better at?
I like Gaby from the very beginning. And in her relationship with Matt, she was very often a friend, supported, and helped him..and romantically, there were enough sparks between them.
Did you break a saw and CAN'T COOK? What kind of nonsense is this? What kind of emergency do the lieutenants have? What the fuck is the ability to cook for firefighters? (Hire yourself a fucking cook) Scrubbing the toilet - if you're an intern? I definitely have a negative attitude towards this series now.
Fuck, I was especially surprised by the moment in the locker room. Are 4 men sitting in the locker room and complaining to a woman?
Why the fuck should she lick the lieutenants' ass? Does this position give you the right to humiliate a person?
If you haven't noticed, firefighters have strict discipline, like in the army. The juniors are silent, study and do what they are told, as Casey and Severide said separately.
In addition, Jones additionally scolded for daddy, who did not let her be kicked out of the academy. As she showed herself normally, the attitude towards her has changed.
@Lionette: The fact is that they are not in the army! What will such an order teach you: TO SCRUB THE TOILET AND FLOORS SEVERAL TIMES? COOKING FOOD? What will it do??? Why should Jones take care of her father? Why is this fire brigade so dumb? About: THEY ARE SILENT AND DO WHAT THEY ARE ORDERED - this should work during a fire, when they are really at work and saving lives, and not when they are expecting a call. What kind of way to humiliate a man by giving him the order to scrub the toilet? (Jones had already washed the toilet several times at that time, and this motherfucker gives orders to do it again, all because his big ego was touched and he was instantly offended by it)
@CyberProxy: it will teach you to follow orders, and not to argue with those who know better. Alas, not all people are smart and good, but such a system trains everyone, and this will help save lives in a difficult situation, because the candidate will not argue when the count is for seconds, but will do it instantly. And I don't think it's a matter of humiliation. This is knocking down the arrogance that Jones has through the roof. She went to complain behind her back at the academy, and did the same in the unit, although Severide told her back then that they didn't do that. The whole problem is that she doesn't look like a very good person, and she didn't come there to save lives, but to show herself, to prove how cool she is. Did you notice how she smiled when she commanded Casey and Severide while on that crumbling staircase? She doesn't understand the seriousness, it's adrenaline for her. So far, at least, it looks like she has nothing to do there. And it is clear that they will survive it, because a situation is very likely where their lives will depend on it. These are not toys. And yes, it's not an army. It is more intense and stricter than the army.
@Lionette: This fire brigade is the dumbest. They joke and mock the intern as much as they can, but when Jones lowered them below the baseboard, they began to complain about her every step🙄 FOLLOW ORDERS - CAN TEACH DIRECT EXPERIENCE ON A CALL, and not in the toilet or in the shower to scrub shit and urine to shine🤦🏼♀️(although in fact, this is a sign that the lieutenants of each squad are trying to show who is in charge here due to this) Well, she went behind her back and said something, and so what? Who is without sin? Once you make a mistake , it doesn't mean that it will never change.
@CyberProxy: in my opinion, you took it very personally and for some reason at your own expense. The dumbest brigade is shown next to it for contrast, have you watched the series further? I see no point in arguing, you are gushing with emotions, and not reasoning logically.
@CyberProxy: any team jokes and mocks any intern. Always. Everywhere. And interns clean toilets, and interns cook too. If they are not able to bear this, then they fly the hell out of the station, because no one will go with an intern to work in pairs if he twitches so much because of the elementary - this is how they check him, see what he is capable of. And whether he is capable of anything at all. And to do this, you need to put pressure on a person - he will either break down, or stand up and prove that he can do something. In the meantime, everyone's place is in the kitchen and in the toilet, doing the most lame job, and everyone goes through it. Severide passed through at the time, and so did Casey, and Herrmann and Mouch. And they were even tougher than they are now, because now beginners need to kiss their asses, and before no one stood on ceremony with them. As it should be, because lives depend on it (no one will take an untested person with him on a call if he does not learn to follow orders before that). So you don't need to try to climb into the fire monastery with your friend from the citizen's charter, calling them stupid. If there's anyone here, it's not them.
p.s. the most important thing for a firefighter is to be able to cook. It doesn't take much intelligence to hold a sleeve pointing it at the fire. They do this much less often than they cook for themselves.
@vauxhall_cross: If they tolerate such an attitude towards themselves, then it says something else. (A normal person will not tolerate this) What do you mean they'll break? You know that they are trained in advance and the conditions that they reproduce there are no different from a real fire and already at this stage, the insecure merge.
Can you even hear yourself? In order for your comrades to trust you, do you have to clean the toilet first? Gender? And to cook for these downs? 🤨🤦🏼♀️
Were Casey and Severide treated even worse? AND SO WHAT? DOES THIS GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HUMILIATE OTHERS BECAUSE OF THIS OFFENSE?🤦🏻♂️
WE CONCLUDE THAT IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO COMPLICATE THIS LIFE FOR OTHERS.
INSTEAD OF QUIETLY TEACHING INTERNS: IT IS NECESSARY TO HUMILIATE THEM IN FULL, MOCK THEM AND TREAT HIM LIKE SHIT - do you know that life does not have to be complicated for everyone? You can also do nice things to people. Why take out your grievances on others?
@Lionette: Well, since you're a firefighter, and I'm a lawyer, and you don't even imagine how many legal mistakes they make, but I'm still silent. You don't have to be a firefighter to make logical decisions on this topic. - according to your logic, IF I COOK POORLY, THEN I CAN'T TELL A PRO COOK THAT HE COOKED THE FOOD BADLY?
@CyberProxy: You can't hear anyone but yourself. This discussion, if it could be considered such, is over for me. Good luck to you) And if you don't like the series so much, maybe it makes sense to stop watching it?))
@Lionette: Who says I don't like the show? In a few years, I'll do a review or something similar on this series. For each season, I will shoot a separate video on YouTube
@Lionette: Oh, just laugh with such a violent reaction, this person won't hear you anyway. I don't even know how it all started, but it's funny to read such a cap.
@CyberProxy: I say it only once and point by point, you can save yourself the answer, thank you. By the way, we didn't drink at the bruderschaft with you, so at least show your good manners if common sense didn't work out.
First of all, no, I and people like me save this life, but people like you complicate it.
Secondly, a normal person will not join the fire department. There are no normal (tm) people among firefighters. They sit in banks and other offices, and at the slightest danger they run away from her. Firefighters run to places where they can die. A normal person wouldn't do that. Let's move on.
Thirdly, yes, in order to be trusted, you need to clean the toilets first. It shows that you know how to obey orders. In reality, everything is not like in the series, no one dares to disobey orders. This is the basis of the work. If you are not capable of this, then no one will go into the fire with you. No one will trust you. Yes, it is interconnected, yes, it shows the level of human reliability. No, you won't understand, don't try. And the conditions that are reproduced there are only a hundredth of a fraction closer to reality. There are dolls, burning containers twenty by ten meters, from where you can get out in seconds, and cellars filled with smoke from a smoke machine with scattered chairs and cabinets. It's nothing, it doesn't teach you anything except how to fix the door properly, it's not even real pressure, just a little physical exertion. I know what I'm saying, I go through this regularly.
And fourthly, of course, I understand that a civil brain will not understand everything that stands behind the word "colleague" or "brother/sister-firefighter", and I do not see any point in explaining this to you, but simply - if after such a gentle daisy throws words like "humiliation", "resentment" and other bullshit, then he won't make it to the second week at the Academy. To the great happiness of everyone else, it saves time, nerves and other people's lives. For this babble...
Okay, the conversation is over, please stop writing with this cap, it looks stupid, well.
@vauxhall_cross: thanks for the comment, I read it with pleasure))
The only thing I disagree with is the fourth. I am an absolutely civilian person, but I quite understand what you are writing about, in fact, it was clear before that, so I got involved in this discussion from the beginning, because I have deep respect for all first responders. So this is a question of normality (tm), probably.
@CyberProxy: Whoooooo, are you THAT disgusting? I thought you were just stupid, but you never cease to amaze. The twenty-first century is in the yard, there are so many opportunities to develop! So if a person does not use them, then it is his fault and exclusively his. Yours, I mean.
It is a pity that there is no function to ban a user and not see his comments. I no longer have the strength to see yours.
@Lionette: Look, I'm not homophobic. We, as people, are distinguished only by the fact that you speak in beautiful words, and I want to look at myself)
@CyberProxy: Well, I'm not hiding it, if anything, lol. (although I can't understand what this has to do with it, but you have nowhere to look for common sense, you said it yourself ...)
If we go back to the events in the series, the previous candidate Mills recently scrubbed the toilets, and the new candidate Jones has so far been ordered to scrub only the showers in this series... So it's doubly unclear what kind of reaction this is.
@vauxhall_cross: Thank you, it was very interesting to read about how such a station works in reality
You know, I worked in military surgery as a surgeon and it's the same there. And I agree with every word you say. The head of the department could be fucked for the fact that none of the staff removed the shoe covers lost by the patient (despite the presence of cleaners) and this is normal and everyone knew what they were getting for. And it is very difficult for civilians to explain this, in general, it is very difficult to explain everything about emergency life-saving systems for other people and colleagues, to people not from this system. Even therapists find it difficult to explain the rigid structure of surgery
Is there a consolidated list of all Chicago episodes somewhere, so that it's clear what to watch? I'm already tired of figuring out which episodes of the police to watch after which episodes of the firefighters
I obviously don't like Jones. I also worked in a tough male sexist field and everything she is told in the brigade is true. You need to close your mouth, watch, listen and work, and then it will be useful. The fact is that only good work deserves trust in the team. First, learn how to work with dignity, and then you will joke, bicker, and so on
Jones is outrageous with his arrogance. The victory over the fire should be considered proper, and not to make a competition, who worked better, this is TEAMWORK.
Casey and Gaby, don't fight, you're so cute.
I'm worried about Severide's sister and for Kayleigh himself, as for myself.
Jones clearly doesn't fit in at all. On the first day, to argue with the authorities, and then to walk around and inform behind her back, allegedly they find fault with her. Stupid young lady, nothing good will come of this. You won't gain trust or respect like that.
And also, yes, thanks to this episode for showing me how lucky I am with my station.
They have such an interesting unit here - rescuers, firefighters, and paramedics. How is that even possible?
I can still imagine that firefighters and rescuers are in the same structure (although it seemed to me that rescuers are a separate topic, like the Ministry of Emergency Situations), but the felshers are somehow not at all close, no? What is your part in this plan?
And I have a huge question - how is it that Mills suddenly decided to go to the police, and he's like, no question, then Dawson decided to go to the fire department - she's like that too, no question - how is it at all? Aren't the police academy, the fire department, and the felshers all studying in completely different places?
They also have a billion tools here, and to unbend the car, and all sorts of endless ropes to pick up everything - do we have such rescuers?
And firefighters all have fashionable masks - how do we deal with this, do our guys in masks also enter a burning building? And we also get people first, then they just start putting out?
But these smoke chips of theirs "oh, the smoke has darkened, now everything will collapse" - are you fumbling around in all this?

And Gaby and Shay's tandem is just in the heart!
