Now I don't ever want to be a fire fighter.

The one thing that got me through this training session was thinking that "hey, if I get stuck, its not like I have to wait for FD to show up"

Hats off to our firefighters, no matter where you are, which country / state / city / battalion / first in you represent. Thank you for what you do. I couldn't do the job. I salute those that can, and willingly do, every day. Thank you for keeping us safe.

I see that this was posted a few years ago but I just came across this while researching FF Survival videos. I have to say after 23 years as a FF and quite a few of them as an Instructor, I have seen my share of this type of training, both as a participant and as the instructor. While I believe EVERY FF needs some form of what I will call "restricted" space training (Confined Space is a much more technical discipline) sometimes this type of training becomes a little too extreme. The idea is to build confidence in your self and the equipment meant to keep you alive, not to instill fear or panic in a recruit. In my opinion, a SCBA should NEVER be pushed in front of you. This only increases the chances of losing it when you need it the most. The best thing for new recruits is to give them goals that they can achieve or they will feel like they failed themselves and their team mates. This type of training is extremely valuable but should not be used as a determining factor for passing or failing out of the academy.

I can assure anyone who doubts the stress this creates even in a non-fire training atmosphere, it is intense. Your natural reaction when you feel pressure on your chest, back and sides at the same time is to push out and get space. You can't here. This guy did excellent overcoming that natural reaction and calming down to finish the exercise.

So damn glad there are people out there who can handle this kinda shit..!

I got panic at 1:20 lol XD

Easily the most difficult part of fire training. The first time you get through without freaking out is the best feeling.

A truly mind altering experience. Just like repelling down the face of a 20 story bldg. to a balcony below.....exhilarating :)

I am 6'2 and wear size 14 also. It is harder for us big boys but it can be done. It all comes down to mental toughness. My first confined space drill my first reaction was to freak out. However you have to take control of your fear and just get in your head that this is what you have to to so you are going to do it and make it through. Once all is said and done you will have sense of pride and accomplishment.

i got stuck in a tube that was only about 14 feet deep. my regulator fell loose and got lodged at the entry of the tube and i couldn't move or figure out why. i was terrified. once i figured out how i got stuck, got my composure and finished. this tube is huge!!! not easy!!

i used to do air duct cleaning in commercial buildings and some of the ducts get really small like this tunnel. Once my headlight gave out and i was too far down for anyone to hear me if i called for help but you gotta stay calm cuz u can easily psyche yourself out and panic.

I just volunteered for the FD in my neighborhood and I know it's not exactly the same as doing this for a living but I'm looking forward to it. The training for those that choose this as a living is intense, and although our training as volunteers is nowhere close, I'm certainly looking forward to it. Firefighters are a cool breed and much respect for those that do this day in and day out! God bless!

This is perhaps on the easier side of things I've done in the fire service. The interviews on the other hand.... absolutely relentless.

Funny how it goes. Retired recently after 32 years fire/EMS (five military). I'm not small, 6'2", 195, but this sort of thing was fun for me until I was right around 40. It became progressively more difficult to handle, both physically and psychologically. I've never searched for statistics, but anecdotally, in speaking with many peers, claustrophobia seems to become more common as we age.

Ahhhh, I remember doing that! I don't really get claustrophobic, but you do have to keep a cool head when you eventually get stuck, it's easy to panic! You also suck air like crazy, which you have to really keep on top of, it's easy to forget you've got a limited supply.

My respect and congratulations for all this guys

Last year i crawled through 1000+ feet of 2’6” diameter underground storm drainage pipe (reinforced concrete). Part of an solo hydraulic civil engineering inspection. The pipe was dark and i had a torch. Every time a car would drive over a manhole cover, the reverb thud sound would rumble through the distant pipes and the airborne dust from sediments would fly into my face and could be seen as a mist in the torch beam. There were hydraulic gradients, pipe bends and dips in the pipe where cold stagnant stormwater accumulated from the last heavy rains.

Great video to show people how easy it is to panic and start sucking your tank dry. I'd love to do this and see how well I keep my calm. My confined space experience is nothing more than a ton of rubble and tubes with rope tangled everywhere.

I was a Sand Blaster for the US Navy for a bit and me being the small guy I was blessed with the small tanks. If I ever got stuck I’d try to not panic because your muscles swell and that makes it way harder. The key is to close your eyes and breathe for a moment then continue to get unstuck. Good times! With that being said I’d love to give this a try.

Hayden Patstone yes it is a huge challenge to overcome but essential to be a fireman. When you're in an unfamiliar place, wearing 70 lbs of gear you're not used to, with an scba that gives you slightly less air than you want, knowing that you only have a certain amount of time before you run out of air in a room that is so full of smoke you literally can't see your hand in front of your face, an empty gymnasium can feel claustrophobic. It took me a while to learn to deal with it and I've never been claustrophobic in my regular life so I didn't know how to deal at first. The best thing I can say to do is if you decide to join, ask your chief to borrow an scba and an air bottle, take the batteries out of your pass device so the bells don't go off and watch tv on air. Sounds dumb but it got me used to being on air, then I did random dumb drills like putting on a blindfold, holding my breath and trying to crawl to my front door without taking a breath or if I couldn't I would see how many breaths It would take to get there and try to use less the next time. Hope it helps, FF1 2.5 years on the department.

My worst nightmare right there :(

The thing is that this a 100% a mind game. If you were able to completely control your mind, you would have zero problem doing this, even without the rope. Crazy how your mind, which lets you do so much can also limit you.

I did SCBA confined space training today, and holy shit. You dont think youre getting enough air, and you start hyperventilating. Even scarier when the low air level alarm g Is buzzing. Full respect;, and i hope to further my training and learn more.

Who’s else got very dizzy and uncomfortable watching this? 😅😅

I feel like this video made it way scarier then it actually is like ur legs are roped ur safe fuck it push through

I had nightmares where I get trapped in those situations this brought me to those memories.

i know how that shit feels, not being able to move anything but your feet more than an inch and the sense of being stuck is very frustrating and scary, it can be very difficult not to panic but you just have to find a way to calm yourself down, much respect for my fellow brothers and sisters that have to do this in life or death situations, stay safe out there.

How about you try it first

I could easily become a firefighter but thats a job for lesser men, myself I prefer to enlighten fundies on Le old Reddit dot com!

Dio Santana you're the one being edgy

This is how you challenge your psychological limitations.

I’d much rather be in a heavy firefight then do what a firefighter does. Respect.

Couldn't agree more. I took FF1 & 2 last march (2011). Although I made it out, it put the fear in me. I volley, but have yet to be in a live fire, and we don't train much... plus politics. But I love it. I feel like I could do anything since I could do that. It is serious business, and luckily I was reimbursed by the county because I was a volley. I am 26 and feel like I may have missed the boat. Weird though I was the fifth youngest in my class. The earlier you start the better.

I get chills watching this

I just did this today. It was very unnerving, but you have to get through it. Just put your head down and get to work.

I just did this today on my last day of recruit school. It was intense. We actually did it in the dark on stairs going up and down. However, it wasn't as long so probably a wash. Definitely a ball-buster.

I didn't think I had any kind of anxiety or claustrophobia until today. I had my first day with my work's ERT and first experience putting on all the gear and SCBA. It was fine at first I did a quick walk around and then suddenly I was paying more attention to the suit being uncomfortable, tight, bit of weight to it, sucking the air in didn't feel like enough compared to open atmosphere, I started to feel I was hyperventilating and would need to get out of the mask soon or I might pass out. Luckily I held it together for a few seconds and got the mask off and the one older guy I was with helped me with my jacket and helmet since I was unfamiliar and in an internal panic. I never saw it coming. Even later in the day not even wearing a helmet or scba, just the boots, pants and jacket and loves riding in the back of a pump truck the panic feeling started coming back to me... it eventually went away while we were doing hose practice but I'm not sure what will happen next time I put the mask and tank back on... just watching that guy in the narrow part of the pipe, I had to pause.. not sure how you get over feelings like that

Holy shit firefighters need more recognition

You have to clear your mind and have the will to try. Know that your fellow men have your back. The will to live can overcome fear in a real situation. Interesting drill.

Every challenge life throws at you is easily surpassed mentally. Your mind can become your best friend in a situation like this.

Crossing off firefighter off my list of possible careers

Just completed this with Devon n Somerset (UK) It is by far the most testing module!

This profession will humble you

We had to do something like this in school not as long but still pretty small u go in nervous but u know people have done it before you and you feels so accomplished coming out when done

Welp this tube will be the star of my nightmares tonight

I've done something similar to this except it was a tunnel made of plywood with 2x4's and wires strung and attached across the whole length. Done in full turnouts with an scba and a forcible entry tool all while smoke is pumped in, it wasn't easy by any means as your pack was getting hung up left and right however I do see it as vital training for tight spaces and attics. This maneuver taught us how important it is to find a wall and put your bottle in the corner to avoid it getting hung up while going through. My only question about the drill shown in the video and similar ones is, what if your shoulders are very broad? Meaning what if your essentially too big to fit through the smaller segments? Especially since the recruits had no tools with them to attempt to force their way through like they would normally in a fire. Just a thought, unless the tube is actually much larger at the end then the video made it show.

I generally don't get claustrophobic (most of the time I love small spaces), but fuck me that video gave me this gut feeling that I just couldn't compare to anything else

Five hundred yards... that's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile. “Shawshank Redemption”

is it weird if i like tight spaces like this? Like reverse claustrophobia i'm scared of big open spaces

Ive done the worm tube in e.m.t training. Best day ever.

Had a simulation where we would set up some small plywood boxes in a way to resemble being in a attic crawl space filled with fog machine smoke. You would start in the “attic”, go into the crawl space then you have to go straight down about a foot and half then to the left and go about 9 feet and another left, then go 17 feet until the exit. That was one of the most scariest moments in my life. We had set up the simulation for National Night Out. A whole bunch of kids showed up and were running through the simulation like it was nothing, because the are small. Then my friend tells me to go through it with all my gear on, but without a airpack. He tells me that I shouldn’t need it. I make it about half way through and then I realized that he had fogged it up A LOT. It’s hot, it’s cramped and now I can’t breath so I’m freaking out but I realized I can’t freak out in front of all the kids. I take a few short breaths and tuff that fucker out. One of the hardest moments in my life

Awesome man good job man
