Safety Officer - A Day in the Life

Lieutenant Justin Sinnett takes viewers along for a 24 hour shift as a Safety Officer at South Metro, stationed out of Station 35.

[@Jimboco7654]

I'm glad to see Buddy the Elf finally found his niche in the world. He makes a great safety officer!

[@chadlewis5763]

I was 100% thinking about that. Lo and behold, first comment. haha

[@jennavanderhagen5158]

Definitely

[@Midnight-rails]

Damn it you got to the joke first

[@dirtbikingdragon]

I just kept seeing him everytime I look at his face 😂

[@cakeyexe]

To me he looks like Andre the Giant

[@inherentnature5938]

“You can’t train enough for a job that can kill you…” Excellent quote sir!

[@kissanruokaa]

Thats why im a little pussy compared to these guys :D Crazy how they remain calm under a HUGE amount of pressure. Big respect! :)

[@hockeygoalhorns5564]

He is on ladder 12 now

[@culbyj3665]

dude complains about some faux collapse zones yet just walked right thru them. Gimme a break. with all the money these fockers have . What a joke at that fire at 12 min mark. Come one maaaann. I know very progressive volunteer departsment that would run circles around these guys with less money and just as safe..

[@jakemakesthings9955]

@@kissanruokaait’s surprising how used to it you get, knowing that to do helps. The structure at 10:59 is a very large fire and not a everyday occurrence, at least not in my area 😂You also have people like the saftey officer who watch over the operation especially if you’re new, you get to basically get paired up with someone. My first time out on a call (where I actually got out of the vehicle) I was paired with the oldest active member of our department (literally has been active in the dept as long as my mom has been alive) and I stayed “on his hip” the whole time. Joining a department is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done and has literally changed my life. If your area has a volunteer fire dept and you are under 18 look at joining an explorer program if your over look at joining a department.

[@vikingtraveler2655]

I like this Safety Officer. Cool, calm and he needs his own show. Just a great guy.

That “you might need a nap... you might snap a little sooner than normal” as a dad after shift is very true.

Hi, I’m Lieutenant Dale Dobak, and you’re watching a day in the life of a safety officer.

I'm now medically retired due to cardiac issues. I love watching you series! Makes me feel like I'm back in house with my crew.

Thank you brother. I know you miss it

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

This was a fantastic video. Got to see some good action of them running calls, training, and eating a full meal, lol. LT. Sinnett was a pleasure to watch. He seems very well composed, looks out for his crews, seems very friendly, and worked with the camera perfectly. Thanks LT Sinnett and the PIO(s) that made this episode possible.

This guy did an excellent job of explaining everything and going into just enough detail! Well done!

[@rileyjessup6480]

you know your a true firefighter when you can slide down a pole and not spill your coffee

[@stephenharrison734]

Absolute truth, never stop learning. I’ve been doing this for 30 plus years, the one constant is that I realize how ignorant I am. Surround yourself with the best and brightest, if they aren’t, you are failing them.

[@navblue20]

The man understands his job very well and the part that he says about his family being his Rock is absolutely correct.

[@AuthorX303]

I've had the privilege to work and learn, despite being a firefighter outside of South Metro. I really apperciate how he still has a love and a passion for the Job and a drive to be consistently better. I hope that one day that I'm able to have that discipline and be as humble as he is. He truly has a heart of gold and a sense of humor that lights up a room. You're awesome Lieutenant Sinnett 👊

[@anakinskywalker2045]

Oh no, "Your incident has been updated".

29:50. That quote should be on a tshirt!

true on that... would be a neat line of (fan)stuff for their fans... and might be a good way to support SMFR from all across the world... I'd buy that shirt (if SMFR ever gets to make it)

Chow looked amazing. Very lucky to eat that. What you said at the end is spot on. 15 years, the last 5 as a CCP was the toughest and medically retired in 2015. I miss the tones so much. The life under the lights was some of the best I have ever had.

[@fevre_dream8542]
