Video: 'Firefighter Style,' 'Gangnam Style' parody

The Pa. firefighters do their own rendition of viral South Korean hit

By FireRescue1 Staff

PITTSBURGH, Pa. — Video shows Pa. firefighters performing their own rendition of the viral South Korean hit "Gangnam Style" by PSY.

The South Baldwin Volunteer Fire Company firefighters reenact the hit video in full gear with their own firefighting tweaks, dancing atop their firehouse and fire truck, performing a fake car extrication and spraying their fire hoses.

The firefighters made the video in honor of Fire Safety Month, reminding viewers to be mindful of cleaning chimneys and furnaces and checking smoke alarm batteries.

Sean Irr Wednesday, October 17, 2012 5:14:36 PM Funny, at least it was a group effort!

Ricardo Baldomero Vidales Loredo Wednesday, October 17, 2012 6:01:54 PM jajajjaaja ta perron.

Mel Maguire Wednesday, October 17, 2012 6:59:32 PM It was only a matter of time before some fire crew somewhere did this. I wouldn't use my city's equipment for it and I certainly wouldn't have posted it online, but it's no big surprise that it was done. It's cute.

Sarah Williams Wednesday, October 17, 2012 8:24:32 PM Haha awesome!

Michelle Row Wednesday, October 17, 2012 11:54:07 PM Outstanding Chaps!

Edward Rearick Thursday, October 18, 2012 5:34:59 AM Loved it. Keep up the good work of spreading the fire safety message. Getting the attention of all ages means coming up with innovative ideas. This is one of them. Been doing this for 16 years and this is one of the best ways I have seen to get the attention of the younger crowd.

Carolyn Penney Thursday, October 18, 2012 1:10:11 PM Absolutely awesome, I loved it! What's better than a man in uniform? A fireman in half a uniform....LOL.

Clay Walton Thursday, October 18, 2012 6:34:12 PM Nice work hope you get lots of donations.

Jason Bieda Friday, October 19, 2012 9:50:55 PM Ok Austin Brake you need to lighten up, there's worse out there than this. At least they weren't shooting this video makin racial slurs and every other word was a one of our favorite four letter words. GET OVER IT, its not your department.

Jason Bieda Friday, October 19, 2012 9:52:14 PM "Gangnam Style"

I wish my fire company would be that spirited. sometimes I am the only one dancing in my bunker gear!

James Jacobs Friday, November 02, 2012 6:56:45 AM Lets see they claim they are 501c, the following is a list that costs money: class a foam, gas for both vehicles, Water to refill tank, equipment use, not to mention what if there had been an emergency. the town they protect should look into their dealings.

Rhonda Ousley Tuesday, January 01, 2013 8:17:13 AM disagree with Austin Brake A little humor in todays world come far and few between. This is what makes men and let them do their good work. They can express themselves and have fun at it. I was an volunteer ems and things like this help when you had a bad call.

Tanya Vick Todd Tuesday, January 01, 2013 7:51:02 PM I loved it! It shows you can have fun and still do a great job fighting fires and protecting the people!

Jackie Obecunas Sunday, February 17, 2013 12:40:27 PM What is wrong with this? Even NASA has a "Gangnam Style" video out there. If NASA can have fun, why can't fire fighters that risk their lives every time there is a call for help?
