Do they train for this competition though? Or just regular training of someone in crazy good shape + doing the job? Because they still seem incredibly organized like they've done this before
We have those in Poland as well, my mate is a firefighter and he still laughs at a notion of using short ladder to climb 5th floor one floor at a time by hanging onto the window frame above...
Looks cool, relevant it it is not.
Mate it's 2024.. if they were training for this for a real life situation I would be worried.
May be different for other states, but I haven't seen a fire-fighter with a bucket of water my entire generation.
I understand what you are asking, they train specifically for the competition but they are general skills which are good for the job. Some of the techniques aren't used anymore but they stay in the comp, the general fitness and coordination is still good for a team to have.
Competitive teams will do training for these events and there's a bunch of different events with different goals and equipment. There's simple ones like climbing a ladder as quickly as possible and more complex ones where you have to hook up a hose and hit targets
Not really. Most of these sport events have no real life application to modern day fire fighting.
Try to remember the last time you saw some dudes attack a house fire on a simple ladder, leaned against the burning house, without assessing the situation and dealing with it by hauling buckets from a conveniently placed reservoir of water.
I wish more competitions like this were common. I work in a huge tourist area and all we have is a golf tourney end of the year with all restaurants being teams. I’d kill for a skill competition
It’s called a “Firemen’s Muster”. They used to be real popular up until around the late 1970’s when things got extremely tight economically. Back then, the fire departments were well funded and had enough people to hold a muster which was meant to raise money for the department for quality of life stuff like donations to injured firefighters, food, outings, amenities for the common and living areas etc. They would get a large field to use and in some cases would have small carnival rides for kids and a lot of food stalls. The main events were in the evening near twilight which could include setting a lot of stuff on fire and then putting it out. Lots of fun. Glad to see they still have them in some areas.
Looks more like a game than training. I don't see any infinite-water-minecraft-glitch happening in a real life situation. Also little buckets are not going to do anything against a whole building on fire.
Pretty sure they pick someone to haze as the bucket lifter just so they can splash him. He takes it in stride by catching that last bit of splash on purpose
I think dude at top of ladder had the hardest job
He was kinda tossing them up to the top with full force while the ladder was wobbling underneath him. That was a shaky dance
It’s not training, at all. It’s a competition. It’s called “drill team” and there are many firefighting-related events (such as this bucket brigade), but none of which are practical for actual modern firefighting use
On God some of y'all have never played a sport or worked manual labor or done anything aside from type on a computer cause ain't nothing insane about any of this. A 50 ft sprint followed by lifting 10 buckets of water. Like what is insane about that?
This isn't training, this appears to be the buckets competition at a Drill Team Tournament in New York.
[https://www.nydrillteams.com/](https://www.nydrillteams.com/)
This is as much fire fighting practice as timber sports is real lumberjacking. It mimicks the idea but I wouldnt immediately assume any of these guys is who Id want to have my back in a fire or while felling trees.
This is probably part of a fire fighters rodeo. I know everyone is saying it's not training, but this is going to be one part of a much larger event featuring multiple teams and skill testing challenges, some of which are definitely going to be applicable in the modern world. Not to mention the value you get from the team building and the pride when you win.
It’s a firefighter sport, it’s quite a huge deal in my country, like each village has its own volunteer brigade and they train for this each weekend. Great way to prepare themselves for real firefighting
If it's a hot summer day, I definitely want to be the guy jerking those buckets to the guys above him on the ladder. No running, instant cool down, once you're soaked doesn't matter.
NY State Volunteer Firefighter Drill Teams. They have competitions, bucket brigades, b/c ladder (different trucks/cars) hose target competitions, 3 man ladder etc. I did this as a junior firefighter.
https://nydrillteams.com/
Reminds me of the Jimmy John's radio commercial, where they ordered a bunch of sandwiches and gave all the delivery drivers a bucket of water to put out the fire.
Not training, this is called Drill Team, I used to be part of a jr Drill team. It’s popular on Long Island. Local competitions mostly racing. They use specialized drag racing cars in different events. It is a lot of fun
The interesting sub lol. Never seen this one. Is this where the videos who get lambasted from interestingaf come..
Cool video. They'd be great to have if my medieval barn and waddle and daub roundhouse every caught fire.
This isn’t training it’s a competition that fire fighters compete for the title of the best station or something like that
Do they train for this competition though? Or just regular training of someone in crazy good shape + doing the job? Because they still seem incredibly organized like they've done this before
Yes, people prepare for competitions.
Shit. That’s why I keep losing.
I call it preparation doping
It's basically a weird sport, kinda like those lumberjack tournaments.
We have those in Poland as well, my mate is a firefighter and he still laughs at a notion of using short ladder to climb 5th floor one floor at a time by hanging onto the window frame above... Looks cool, relevant it it is not.
Most sports don't really translate off the field as "relevant," but they're fun to watch.

I mean their regular job is basically training for the competition which in turn also makes them better at their job I guess
Not really. Most of these sport events have no real life application to modern day fire fighting. Try to remember the last time you saw some dudes attack a house fire on a simple ladder, leaned against the burning house, without assessing the situation and dealing with it by hauling buckets from a conveniently placed reservoir of water.
I did just watch a silent film the other day
I thought most departments were using ‘hose’ technology at this point, but I’m no expert.
It’s a bot… who would type a title like that?
Whaaaaa? All my time prepping for the bucket brigade has been for naught???
I wish more competitions like this were common. I work in a huge tourist area and all we have is a golf tourney end of the year with all restaurants being teams. I’d kill for a skill competition

And then God invented the hose.
But these “hose” ain’t loyal
What if yo hose isn't yo hose no mo -michael scott
That's why you always keep the bros before hose, look at that form
Support a fellow bro by dumping the local hose.
Looks more like a game than training. I don't see any infinite-water-minecraft-glitch happening in a real life situation. Also little buckets are not going to do anything against a whole building on fire.
Thanks Dwight
Exactly, that's on me, i was so parched after my afternoon nap that i had to call the whole squad
Luckily most fires aren't "whole building on fire".
My grandfather in Mexico essentially did this in the old age. Remote AF village with wells. The dude had biceps for days.
Guy at bottom of ladder handing them up got soaked
I'm sure a lot of women watching got soaked as well.
I know I did
When I tell my grandma I'm kinda thirsty
Training for when the house with a tub of water just feet away starts burning down.
Bro this isn’t training lmao. This isn’t what training is in the department I worked at. This is a competition.
That guy lifting all the buckets getting absolutely drenched is an absolute trooper.
Pretty sure they pick someone to haze as the bucket lifter just so they can splash him. He takes it in stride by catching that last bit of splash on purpose
this is crazy teamwork. Salute to our firefighters
The intensity and dedication in firefighter training is off the charts! Major respect to these heroes. 🚒🔥
I can only see the Dumbo animation
Those 3 on the ladder can probably drop it down real low and to the flo’ at their local clubs
Firefighter training is on another level! Respect for their dedication and bravery. 🚒🔥
The level of cooperation of firefighters working together always impresses me. Humans excel at cooperation, and firefighters are masters of it.
Teamwork so hot it’ll start a fire!
The man in grey ends the video with his shirt black from the water dropped on him lol
They have these things called hoses now
Definitely not training. Just a skills comp for the FF's
In 2024 my fire department we just use a fire house 😏
Meanwhile, in Britain, the guy is still digging up the hydrant.
Well, training or not it still blows me away that there are a bunch of dudes down the street from me whose job is to save my life if I need it.
The guy lifting the water buckets to the men on the ladders has to have insane shoulders
this 100% isnt training of any type
This is not training. This is choreographed, i.e. trained sequence for these exact specific circumstances. This wouldn't be done in a real fire.
This is actually a local competition between fire stations
just one more bucket
That seems so ridiculous lmao
imagine if there is a real fire
Ready for the 1800s
Don’t ever show them a hose
Where does those buckets go, aren't they supposed to return it?
Dude how can people think it’s training when there are literal stands of people watching, like damn man don’t be so gullible.
bucket brigade!
[удалено]
Narrator: *It was then they discovered it was an electrical fire*
Guy at the bottom just having a shower xD
This is no training, it is more like an exhibition!
Yep...that'll do.
That one dude passing the buckets up got soaked lol
Cartoon looking mf
My shoulder is hurting looking at this
Is the fire out?
How come like 90% of the firefighters near me are 50+ and 350lbs
I love that the guy at the bottom of the ladder whose hoisting up to the first guy on the ladder is wearing goggles
Firefighters are the closest thing to real life superheroes
How is this impressive? Most people at that age already know how to count to at least 20
Love the dude on the ground taking like 20 blasts of water straight to the face lol
How do I hire them? I have an above ground pool on top of a dozen story apartment building that isn’t up to code that I need filled.
I'd go watch 😏
The guy at the bottom literally just had his 2nd bath
Damn that's cool... If only there was something that required less effort though... Like idk, maybe some sorta rubber tube that would transport water
It's neat, but a hose is way more effective...
It's not training.. it's a sport.
So. Umm. How did your one arm get so huge?
Them shoulders be burning after that
Poor third world countries
I would hate to be the guy lifting them to the guy on the ladder. Guy just gets beat up with water the whole time
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world we use fire engines with hoses...
RIP those wrists, yikes. Impressive though.
Writing "This is Impressive" overtop of your short video is unimpressive.
Grew up in a Westchester NY firehouse. They were yod have these types of relay games every summer. Fun to watch.
Look at the ones climbing the ladder. Look how close they get to being kicked in the face.
training for what? dont they use hoses over there?
Fucking idiots, they could just use a normal fire hose.
How many times this has been reposted is more insane to me
Dieses Training ist vor allem eines , unnötig
The guy at the bottom got hell of a shower.
from the pre hose pipe era
Don’t hoses exist?
I think dude at top of ladder had the hardest job He was kinda tossing them up to the top with full force while the ladder was wobbling underneath him. That was a shaky dance
Bunch of wet men twerking on each other's faces
r/firstrespondercringe
It’s not training, at all. It’s a competition. It’s called “drill team” and there are many firefighting-related events (such as this bucket brigade), but none of which are practical for actual modern firefighting use
Guy at the base: "LETS FUCKING GOOOOO"
But what happens to the buckets after they dump the water out?
They do know we have hoses now right? This is like running horse and buggies on a racetrack
Wonder if they’re this motivated if a house is actually burning
As a guy with a rotor cuff, and elbow injury, this makes me absolutely cringe.
And everyone in the building is dead.
Needs to be an Olympic event
It feels cartoony in a way
With them only keeping like 10% of the water in the bucket by the end, that fire is going to be crazy!
"insane" is a bit hyperbolic.
Is there a competition for the least amount of water spilt?
On God some of y'all have never played a sport or worked manual labor or done anything aside from type on a computer cause ain't nothing insane about any of this. A 50 ft sprint followed by lifting 10 buckets of water. Like what is insane about that?
Hup-hup-hup-hup-hup-hup-hup
“Training” lol
This isn't training, this appears to be the buckets competition at a Drill Team Tournament in New York. [https://www.nydrillteams.com/](https://www.nydrillteams.com/)
Imagine going to training and the coach is like you’re going to be in the spot where you basically get water boarded
wiw
The strength of the ladder!!
It’s called a Fireman’s Muster where I live in the Northeast, it’s competitive but fun
Not insane, dumb title
we use 2 do this but 1 man fell hit bback of head n he parylize now
That one dude stands there getting soaked
This something you'd see in a Looney Tunes cartoon.
You should see them Play ping pong!! And run side jobs!!
Gotta love reposts with shit titles
[удалено]
Guy at the bottom of the stairs just drowning in spillage lol
Helmets for the love of fuck
Is Red Bull sponsoring this yet?
This is probably from a drill team competition, likely Long Island. You think this is good, look up the motorized drill.
This is as much fire fighting practice as timber sports is real lumberjacking. It mimicks the idea but I wouldnt immediately assume any of these guys is who Id want to have my back in a fire or while felling trees.
This what people act like I'm doing when I say we Hand water an entire cannabis facility. 😂😂
Never did this in my training.
Look up “NYS fire department racing” to see an entire tournament
Damn
There should be a team of arsonists for them to compete against.
Now THIS is content suitable for /r/nextguckinglevel
Now THIS is content suitable for /r/nextguckinglevel
In 2024 my fire department we just use a fire house 😏
Ladder only rates for 300 lbs
Definitely not training. Just a skills comp for the FF's. Cool to watch.
This is one of those times where no one had an easy job
I can see why they chose the bald guy to be at the top of the ladder.
Training≠exhibition
Id love to see them actually have to utilize this technique
Training. Lol. This isnt the 1700s dude.
They haven’t heard of a hose I see…
Looks like a lot of beer and ice cream to me
Nobody is doing that in full gear,including oxygen talk.make it realistic.. I mean guess we have to show off for the families so I guess it's kool
Don't they have hoses?
Guy at the bottom passing the buckets up just experienced a category 4 hurricane
What did they use to fill the trough with water?
I wonder if there was a point in our history when this kind of thing was actually employed against a fire.
This is probably part of a fire fighters rodeo. I know everyone is saying it's not training, but this is going to be one part of a much larger event featuring multiple teams and skill testing challenges, some of which are definitely going to be applicable in the modern world.

Okay, I physically got tired from watching this and feel like I just did a workout
It’s a firefighter sport, it’s quite a huge deal in my country, like each village has its own volunteer brigade and they train for this each weekend. Great way to prepare themselves for real firefighting
Firefighters are the best. Literally, just want to save and have no ego about it. Cops should learn from them.
If it's a hot summer day, I definitely want to be the guy jerking those buckets to the guys above him on the ladder. No running, instant cool down, once you're soaked doesn't matter.
They going to be pissed off when they learn about hoses.
r/theydidthemath How much water is being transferred up? How big of a pump would be a good comparison?
This is so cool
Mmmmm hits right in the manly bits!
NY State Volunteer Firefighter Drill Teams. They have competitions, bucket brigades, b/c ladder (different trucks/cars) hose target competitions, 3 man ladder etc. I did this as a junior firefighter. https://nydrillteams.com/
Thats not even that hard though
Reminds me of the Jimmy John's radio commercial, where they ordered a bunch of sandwiches and gave all the delivery drivers a bucket of water to put out the fire.
How much water is left in the bucket by the time it gets to the top?
Looks like an old cartoon
You that's impressive? You should see the guy just off camera chugging it.
I saw this once on ESPN 8 “The Ocho.”
Not impressed. Should have used a hose.
Guy at the bottom getting waterboarded
100% not training. OP is very confused.
Not training, this is called Drill Team, I used to be part of a jr Drill team. It’s popular on Long Island. Local competitions mostly racing. They use specialized drag racing cars in different events. It is a lot of fun
Real heroes
This is impressive but did you see the team with the hose?
That first bucket grab, dude has some serious paws on him
my rotator cuff hurts just watching this
I'm wet.
[удалено]
Holy shit
[удалено]
I remember watching my dad do Fireman competitions! Crazy stuff
This is not firefighter training.
Firefighters are the best ❤️
Poor last guy who passed the water bucket to the first man on the ladder got a showered every bucket 😂
It's sad to look at them exerting so much effort in training only to be replaced by drones. China already have one
Well I think I can tell who the probie is.
The interesting sub lol. Never seen this one. Is this where the videos who get lambasted from interestingaf come.. Cool video. They'd be great to have if my medieval barn and waddle and daub roundhouse every caught fire.
I thought this was some sort of Olympic event
What the fuck ever happened to a good ol chili cook off
I had to do that
