The top videos of July ranged from both serious and lighthearted training and educative clips. Some of the most viewed videos were that of how to manage irate civilians during a fire and how to fight magnesium fires. On the lighter side, our audience loved watching firefighters play “Whac-A-Firefighter” during hose training, as well as firefighters flipping pancakes to epic bagpipe music.
