All the other firemen hated Jesper (i.imgur.com)
submitted 1 year ago by dummystupid
[–]spgarbet 154 points155 points156 points 1 year ago
Freezing is a big threat to fire hoses. If a line is to be shut down for any variety of reasons, they have to keep it running till is can be drained and rolled quickly. Otherwise, you get to drive the fire truck home with a hose extending back a long way, and mostly it will rupture and involve a bunch of repairs. Mostly likely the hose was ordered back, and he's running it till they can do this.
That doesn't make the photo any less funny however.
[–]SinisterCanuck 29 points30 points31 points 1 year ago
I run into similar problems with my hose.
[–]Dafuzz 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
Yeah, this one time, I left a coke in the freezer and it exploded, so I know how those firefighters would feel.
[–]Benemortis 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
the comparison is uncanny
[–]BludClotAU -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
This thread is a real fizzer.
[–]musitard 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
We should just bottle this one up before we go any further.
[–]DiscomfortZone 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Jesper can give you a hand with that.
[–]mapoftasmania 13 points14 points15 points 1 year ago
Actually, he's spraying the regulators and valves on the back of the truck to stop the condensation on them from icing.
[–]In_a_Bookshop 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Not sure why you were downvoted, because i'm 99% sure that you're correct.
[–]svullenballe 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago
That's all fine and dandy but why can't he still just aim that at the fire behind him?
[–]Terrible_Wingman 37 points38 points39 points 1 year ago
Because he doesn't have all his gear on, and it's a small booster line hose that has no reason to be near a big fire like that.
[–]svullenballe 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Fair enough but if he just turned around the water would probably hit the fire and help. Not trying to make up arguments just genuinely curious.
[–]Terrible_Wingman 34 points35 points36 points 1 year ago
Naw, it wouldn't even come close to the fire if he turned around. Even if he did use it to put water on the fire it would have basically zero effect while at the same time making him get so close to the fire he would be extremely uncomfortable. Basically the building on fire is gone and the only thing left to do is to make sure it doesn't spread to the other buildings. Which is why the two hose streams you do see on the building are not attacking the main part of the fire, they are spraying between the buildings to keeps the heat down.
[–]Adaekor 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Also, create ice adding another hazard.
[–]frozentedwilliams 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
If you slip on ice while crossing an alley between a building on fire and a pair of firemen actively fighting it, I call it the punchline.
[–]Terrible_Wingman 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago*
Maybe hes trying to melt something off the truck, the guy definitely isn't ready to fight fire and doesn't look very productive, that's for sure, but who knows, maybe he just got out of the building after saving a bunch of nuns and he could just have a boss who told him to do that while he rests.
[–]Tokeli 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
He's wetting down the nuns. The fire made them so very hot, they just had to take off their habits, and the nice fireman offered to cool them down.
[–]goodnightspoon 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
svullen balle. Swollen balls in...swedish?
[–]svullenballe 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Swollen cock.
[–]Anosognosia 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Balle is a treacherous word in Sweden. I've seen it mean cock, balls and buttcheek. It mostly depends on from where in Sweden you come from.
[–]svullenballe 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Yes, I chose it for the flexibility.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago

[–]Rodgery 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago

[–]hobiedallas 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Why would he even charge a booster line for that fire?
[–]mishagale 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Since you seem to know about this stuff, why would the hose be ordered back? Why wouldn't you want all the water you could get to douse a fire ASAP?
[–]satans_dad 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Naw, this one is a goner. They just gotta contain it. Also, too many trucks can be an issue if there is another fire. With ice a concern, they have to make sure they have some at the ready.
[–]crd06d 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
no that was his first day
[–][deleted] -7 points-6 points-5 points 1 year ago
Why not just fucking run it into the fire? Would help a lot more than running it nowhere.
[–]Terrible_Wingman 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago
Nope, you're completely wrong. Having a fire fighter get burned to death because he was retarded with a garden hose(basically what hes holding) does not help in the least. You obviously have no idea how hot fire are and how little water actually helps.
[–]Blake83 12 points13 points14 points 1 year ago
Long story short, bros before hose

It's from way up north in Sweden. He's probably just fending off a polar bear.
Edit: I found it.

[–]Rodgery -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
If your inner Beavis like that you should try Slut Rea (or Slut Sale) which means end sale but is funnier in Swenglish.
[–]simpish 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Or what about "slutspurt"?
[–]LarrySDonald 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Lived there for a few years. This place is downtown, not that it's an especially large city. Luleå University is a little ways outside of town - I'm pretty sure there are people from there on here (it's a fairly reddit-y type of place or at least it was ~10-15 years ago).

Accidentally sprayed firetruck instead of fire. The ladies were not impressed. No number for Jakucha.
[–]jdelator 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
lol this meme still going?
[–]thebendavis 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Unfortunately reddit isn't allowed to be creative and witty anymore so we have to rely on idiots to keep regurgitating jakucha, fry memes and many other manners of tired, worn-out bullshit. All we can do is downvote and mock.
[–]metacruft 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago
Mock all the things!
[–]jdelator 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I was upset I understood the joke. Did you hear about the guy that threw the engagement ring into a lake?
[–]thebendavis 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
Curses you masters Froto for throwses my presious! But yourses is forgiven for the deliciouses face creams.
[–]dmsuperman 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
I am not creative enough to come up with something witty and funny on my own so I just bitch about other people reposting, thus ironically contributing to the very problem I'm complaining about.
FTFY
[–]thebendavis -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 year ago
Maybe you should check someones comment history before making such accusations. I avoid doing everything I just complained about as a matter of principle. Including the use of FTFY and ಠ_ಠ, both of which are an automatic donwvote because they require no mental effort and contribute fuck-all to anything...ever. Some of my comments have negative votes but at least I put myself out there while being original or adding to a conversation. Misguided as it may be, I appreciate your response and wish you well.
P.S. Speak ill of me again and I'll butt-fuck your face.
[–]dmsuperman -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
I don't need to check your history. I was responding to your perfect example of supreme bitchiness, which demonstrates nothing of value. You demonstrated, in the post directly above my own, exactly what you were complaining about.
Using a particular format in conveying a message, when messages are clearly in the context of "on reddit" and thus subject to all other contexts of reddit, doesn't make the message any different or less original. So to complain about that further impresses upon me that you seem to be suffering from something similar to the Dunning–Kruger effect. You should seek therapy and cease all further internet activities.
[–]thebendavis -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
So you really think that smearing this jakucha bullshit across every comment thread is actually funny? The Macarena was popular and had a temporary yet huge following; does that make it any less retarded? Did anyone ever discover who actually let the dogs out? No, because it was a flash in the pan and it became popular because it appealed to the lowest common denominator.
Stupid, uncreative, uninspired meme-esque comments that can be adapted to any situation add nothing meaningful to a conversation and therefore should not be praised. You can defend you position all you want, but the fact of the matter is reddit is becoming a homogenous circlejerk where any asshole with RES can click a 'button' and get over 100 upvotes with this ಠ_ಠ.
It's the equivalent to a catch-phrase from a sitcom. It's funny the first few times you hear "Did I do that?" or "I'm Rick James, bitch!" But once it enters the common lexicon it tires quickly and anyone who uses it in conversation looks like an idiot because they have reduced themselves to the behavior of a parrot.
Just because I wasn't in witty mood when I wrote my original comment doesn't mean that I can't be. And to assume that I have some sort of disorder for having a low tolerance for bullshit is laughable.
In conclusion, my suggestion to rape your face was intended as a joke when combined with the sentence that preceded it. I honestly have no ill will towards you or any other reddit user. I'm just tired of mediocrity being not only praised, but actively encouraged.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
It's very important to keep the firetruck clean while fighting fires. /s
[–]Terrible_Wingman 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Never know when someone might come take a picture.
[–]Chugabilly 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
He is cooling the back of the truck due to the radiant heat from the fire. I have had to do this several times as well as melted tail light lenses and even cracked a windshield when we sprayed it.
[–]satans_dad 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
Actually he is probably warming them to keep it all from freezing over.

Isn't this a normal occurrence? I thought standard practices was for firefighters to spray down the truck to avoid damage from the heat that they are under?
[–]masterbates 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
He is a long way from the fire and the snow on the roof and on the ground would suggest that it is a very cold day so heat should not be a problem.
[–]Kattborste 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
But the cold could be.
Standard practice is to park far enough away from the fire to NOT have to do this
[–]ChineseDeathBus 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago

edit: so yeah... someone posted this before me
[–]ghostlantern 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
From the title, I assumed this would be a far side comic. After viewing the image, I'm pretty sure it's just a real life rendition of said comic.
