Ladder 49 (2004)

The life of an American fireman. At the beginning of the film, he is on duty and gets trapped inside a building in flames; then, the film proceeds in flashbacks to tell his story since he joined the firefighting unit until the present situation.

A curious film, rather unfashionable for its time. Despite its simple structure and conventional approach, it has some basic honesty about it, has some well-made fire scenes, and has a very good central performance.
