There is a little known movie that is out there, most of the movie is irrelevant as far as fire fighting is concerned but the first ten minutes of the film portrays the humorous side of fire fighting well. It is called Club Paradise and stars Robin Williams as a fire fighter who tires of firefighting and retires to a tropical island.
