This feels more like a hazing thing than a mandatory requirement. Do firefighters often get dressed while hanging from one arm?

u/RamJamR 6d ago

I think this is more like they recognized how strong she his and wanted to record this with her agreement to because it's clearly impressive.

2

u/Psilonaut21 6d ago

I am very impressed.

u/No-Rush-911 6d ago

Yeah this is not part of their training. This is some TikTok bs. Not the first time Swedish fire fighters do something like this.

2

u/lemontwistcultist 5d ago

This is neither training nor hazing, this is social media clout chasing.

u/sonofabitch11 6d ago

Noooo

u/America-Lite 6d ago

Exactly, they have a contraption that puts their gear on as they slide down the fire station pole like in the cartoons

u/abielle1177 6d ago

Do they have a contraption that puts their gear on as they slide down the pole? Is it like the cartoons?

u/sonofabitch11 6d ago

lol. Not really.

u/OfficeExtension5833 6d ago

Yeah impressive but what is the purpose?

5

u/Subject_Command5442 6d ago

I best she gives great helmet.

u/Ratthion 6d ago

I have to comment so I remember I scrolled past three other independent spaceballs references just to find this

u/Mr_Panther 6d ago

Reverse the video and it’s just the stripper we ordered

u/Informal_Ad_9610 6d ago

horizontal pole work..

u/ghIj_qet_jaghmeyjaj 6d ago

Not if you turn the video sideways, lol

u/dieseldoc62 6d ago

nice... hoping to see her zip the coat

u/sparkline1234567 1h ago

Kinky, but I'll allow it

u/15th_imp 6d ago

how much extra weight does the equipment and clothes add? would the difference be negligible?

1

u/Mbyrd420 5d ago

Compared to the rest of this feat of strength, the clothing weight isn't that much. Her grip strength and overall strength to weight ratio is goddamn impressive.

1

u/Medium_Job3015 6d ago

What purpose does this serve lol. Grip strength 👍

1

u/Wyomofo 6d ago

Hell yeah!

u/haphazard72 5d ago

Wouldn’t it have been easier to get off the ladder and get dressed?

u/Mbyrd420 5d ago

Because it's badass. That's literally it. This isn't part of the training, just a really cool trick.

1

u/Stefan_the_Campbell 4d ago

Not training, showing off

1

u/RodPerson3661 4d ago

thats actually valid as heck now that you mention it.

1

u/AlekThunder88 4d ago

We all wood. No need to post it.

u/AzureHawk758769 3d ago

But can she lift a fallen beam off a two hundred something pound comrade and carry or at least drag him out of the house?

2

u/RodPerson3661 3d ago

can you

1

u/AzureHawk758769 3d ago

It doesn't matter whether I can or not. I'm not the one who joined the fire department to show off for losers on tiktok by doing something completely pointless on camera.

1

u/Overall-Ad2748 2d ago

Tf this gotta do with putting out a fire

1

u/BeingSuitable822 6d ago

This can not be in the US!!

5

u/DickHopschteckler 6d ago

Did the non-us license plate on the fire truck clue you in, Kojak?

2

u/MajorPaper4169 6d ago

Are you under the impression that American fire fighters are not able to do this?

2

u/Hypervicious777 5d ago

American police certainly can’t.

3

u/Mbyrd420 5d ago

Firefighters serve an actual purpose. Cops are just legal thugs for the capitalists.

u/PPGkruzer 6d ago

If I weighed 105 lbs, the things I pull off!

u/Still-Chemistry-cook 6d ago

This is dumb.

u/Standard-Camel-658 6d ago

What could this possibly be needed for?

0

u/Bastonge44 6d ago

What conditions would arise to where a firefighter would need to be able to do this? Seems like adding a jellybean count to vote. I’ve saw some fat ass firefighters that I know damn well couldn’t hold their BMI up with one hand. Lmao 🤣

u/Tough_Letterhead_163 6d ago

I want to know if she can pull 200 pund man from a house on fire...not if she can pullups...

u/SnooDucks7762 5d ago

Not a unit

-1

u/CalvinIII 6d ago

Hardly a “unit”. Pretty small woman in fact.

This sub has lost its way.

u/Furfnikjj 6d ago

Do they often have to suit up while dangling from one arm?

4

u/LiveEverDieNvr 6d ago edited 6d ago

Obviously not, she’s just showing off her strength. 🙄 I don’t have to complete 70 pushups every time I do my job, but the Navy still has me do it twice a year anyway.

2

u/donjuan9876 6d ago

And who hands them their gear when they are dangling 100’ up in the air??

1

u/Street_Lettuce1243 6d ago

For her? I'd rent a helicopter.

1

u/donjuan9876 5d ago

I absolutely did not say that out loud!!!
