haphazard72 So I'll say from the outset that I've got over 15 years with the emergency services, but not a fire department.This documentary was incredibly well done!The footage was amazing- if you wanna see a fire from a firefighters perspective, with no holds barred action, then this is for you!Being non American, I know literally nothing about Detroit. I had heard via the news that they were in a financial mess, so this was a real eye opener. A sad state of affairs when essential services such as fire and police have no money to perform their job.No money for PPE, equipment and truck repairs is a sad, sad state of affairs that everyone needs to see to believe and then make an issue out of.It'd be great to see a follow up in a year or so to see the difference....

jclexton-258-537504 This is the real deal, makes you feel like your on the truck and on the scene. You can't get Hollywood with this, this is the real thing, it's got heat and action all over it. IT's amazing what these guys do , with so little. It truly is a passion that we take for granted. If you haven't been to a fire scene this will take you to one. Amazing characters that aren't fiction, you will find a kindred spirit with the crew.It's well done, with great editing, powerful images, this is a must see. If you like Back draft this will be up a definite in your collection. But no Hollywood here, again THE REAL DEAL.

fogle-798 ***SPOILERS***Who doesn't want to see some of the best real fire department action fit for the big screen? This is no made-for-television drama with connived Backdraft fire scenes and cheese-ball situations. No, in Burn you get to be in a place where the drama is actually something that could be going on right down your street. And if you live in Detroit, it is. Don't forget to pay attention to the social subtleties spread throughout this move, which are portrayed in an objective, in your face way allowing you to take away from it what you will.If you have a chance to go see this film, don't hesitate. It's worth every penny for the ticket and every mile of the drive to the theater.

rlgladding Detroit needs our help. This is a must-see real life documentary that takes you into a local Detroit Fire Station for an entire year. You will also be taken right into actual fires throughout the city. Although it focuses only on Detroit, similar fire departments across the country are going through the same thing. If you are a firefighter, know a firefighter, or you just want to see an emotional, informative, funny, inspiring documentary then you must see this. Well worth it, I have seen it twice already. Although it is not a lot of theaters across the country, check their website because they are usually in a different town certain days. If you haven't seen it already I highly recommend it.
