GoPro footage of firefighter entering burning house is giving people 'a whole new level of respect' for them

The POV footage has given social media users a fresh insight into how dangerous a firefighter's job really is

First person footage of a firefighter going into a house ablaze has offered people a new perspective on how dangerous the job really is.

We all know what firefighters do, and how much of a risk to life their jobs can be - or do we?

It's all well and good understanding the job, but it's something completely different to be there yourself, carrying it out.

GoPro footage of a firefighter putting out a raging house fire has given people the point of view seen by firefighters, and it has (unsurprisingly) gone viral, joining the long list of intriguing events caught by a GoPro.

Posted on the official GoPro YouTube channel, it is by far the most serious and eye-opening video posted on the channel in months, though they do post some interesting exploration and extreme transport videos.

The almost four-minute video showcases a burning home located in Santiago, Chile, and the firemen and firewomen for the Third Fire Company of Ñuñoa coming to the rescue, working to put the flames out.

One of the brave workers has a GoPro strapped to their chest, ensuring that we see everything that they can.

His name is Joseth Abel Espinoza, and he was thrown into the fire - quite literally.

The team quickly arrived, rolled the house out and got to work, which we can see him doing.

Espinoza can be seen attempting to put flames out with the powerful fire hose, and does as good a job as possible, putting out the majority of flames.

The house was sadly lost, but nobody was hurt as a result, once again revealing how much first responders must face in an emergency to keep us safe.

Social media users took to the comments to share how impressed they were at the fireman's bravery.

One said: "Damn that's wild. Much respect. I think we all logically know what fire fighters do, but to see it from this perspective brings a whole new level of understanding.

Another added: "I'm never complaining about coming into the office on a Monday again."

A third wrote: "This is what REAL super heroes do. Everyday. All over the world."

If a fire does break out in your home, Red Cross advises you to 'Get out, stay out and call for help', if your house catches fire, and it is crucial that you don't go inside for anything or anyone, for your health and wellbeing.

They also explain that you may 'have as little as two minutes' to escape.

Installing and testing smoke alarms regularly are a must to ensure that they work, and working with your family to formulate a practiced fire escape plan could make all the difference.

You may only have two minutes or less to get out of the home, so knowing exactly where you're going could save your life.
