Не ожидаешь, а фильм даже очень неплохой.
Только всё таки странно оставлять своего напарника-пожарника просто в здании при таких обстоятельствах.
Закончились одни средства помощи, ну сделайте что-нибудь сумасшедшее.
В конце концов, если попробовать бежать, можно отделаться ожогами, но всё таки выжить.



As part of a preparation for the movie, Joaquin Phoenix trained for a month at a fire academy and spent another month with the men of Baltimore's Truck 10.
He became an "honorary member" and had the same tattoo as the men of the company, a bumble bee wearing a fire helmet with an ax.

Jacinda Barrett (playing Linda Morrison, wife of the lead), is the daughter of a 33-year career firefighter.
She has stated that the movie feels like it is about her real life.

The firefighters Joaquin Phoenix trained with nicknamed him "Hollywood".
Only after Phoenix earned their respect, they started calling him by his actual name.

Joaquin Phoenix was so afraid of heights before shooting this film that he could not even slide down the 20-foot fire pole.
After he finished training he hung off the side of a 20-story building by a single repelling rope.

The filming of the big warehouse scene caused something of a panic in Baltimore.
The fire was visible from I-95 and the Baltimore Beltway, so Good Samaritans kept calling the fire department to report it.
So many people called that the fire department ended up calling radio stations
to confess that the scene was being filmed and to request that people stop tying up the emergency lines.
