South metro has some KZbin competition lol

[@Yo-Favorite-Dorks-Vlogz]

I was just thinking that

[@Auburngal03]

But South Metro is South Metro. They are legends and started a great thing.

I actually like this series more than South Metro

[@brianj5261]

I'm 33 and I just went through my own boot camp to get in shape for this. If you ask anybody they would've said I had no chance but now those chances look really good. Don't ever give up. There are people out there that need you to be your best version of you

[@devonpierce4532]

What kind of training did you do

[@PREDATOR-to8sp]

Just turned 27 and starting my own weightloss/bootcamp to get into this field! If anyone has recommendations and tips, please fill me in.

[@michaelodell2732]

Really love and respect the approach you guys take in terms of training and teaching. Using positive reinforcement and encouragement rather than calling the recruits "sh*tbags" and breaking them down for the whole time they're in the academy.

This week's sponsor is "water" XD pure gold.

This is an awesome day in the life of this class. Outstanding work everyone! Keep it up

Wow, I’m a firefighter recruit too, from Quebec, Canada and I think it’s so nice to see how it works for you in Utah! I think it’s a real chance for these subscribers to see a little bit what we go throught in our journey! Keep it up💪🏽

Keep up the good work Thomas! Thanks for the support.

Hi, I am firefighter from Poland and I have some questions about how it looks in Canada. Maybe we can find each other on Facebook or something?

[@Joby1980]

The fire academy in Mississippi is 6 weeks for the career firefighter but for Volunteer is a day or 2 days depends how you get done with training. Then you will be train at your local department

I went to USMA and these cadre are so sweet. It’s an interesting but good looking approach

[@UnifiedFireUtah]

Our Training Division takes extreme pride in producing not only great firefighters, but more importantly, well rounded individuals. We believe that over a 25 year career, the well rounded individual is exactly what our communities need and deserve.

[@Cyb3r-lux]

I'm here cause during career day one of the firefighters said that's there's never been a female fighter where I'm from. We almost got one in 1978 but she switched career paths. So yeah, I hope to change that , after I graduate highschool 😼

You've got this!

[@UnifiedFireUtah]

Go for it! Many of us started in one career and made a switch at a variety of ages. It's never too late!

[@Isaac_cobo]

I’d love to have been a firefighter 👩‍🚒 but my father stopped me..he said I was too wild 😛 and hyperactive to do it safely..he said I’d make a fire worse 😂😂😂😂 he’s probably right..he said I’d have demolished a building..thanks for sharing this enjoyable to see what ye do.👍

[@IHaveADHD]

I don’t want to speak badly about your dad, but if you want to do it, you should try it. This training will help instill discipline and focus so you can do the job. Please don’t give up on your goals if you’re still able.

[@xeonloki7738]

This is amazing I am from Utah and i wanna become one of them in Utah thank you all for everything.

Be careful with that route, 2/3 of all firefighters basically aren't paid. Good luck it will be hard but you can do it

[@chiefgaming8182]

@@irondolphin1559 wait why do they not get paid

[@irondolphin1559]

@@chiefgaming8182 they are volunteer firefighters, becoming a paid firefighter is next to impossible. Over 2000 people apply for the job so you have to be the top 1% and top scores, but you might get crossed out because you had a ticket, or a firefighter with 30+ years experience comes and gets the job. Then they become volunteers. My brother Alex applied to over 20 departments and decided to look into a new field in automotive it was very harsh considering he spent years trying to become a firefighter

[@irondolphin1559]

@@chiefgaming8182 this doesnt mean it's pointless though, volunteer fire fighters are held with incredible respect because they put their life on the line daily for no money. It's a profession that literal hero's seek but dont expect to be paid unfortunately.

Hey there, I’m a firefighter from Trinidad and Tobago and my dream has always been to expand my horizons and work in another country and now I’m thinking what better way to do that than with a job I already love doing. Do you have any advice on where to start , is my service transferable in anyway?, n”does not have to be directly into another service but even into an academy I have no problem working for it all over again but any information you can give me on where and how to start this process will be greatly appreciated .🙌🏾
