True, like right now, you can work hard to build one for a life and one single person can ruin it

[@Justaguyyoutubin]

@@dawsont933 No. You are in control of your reputation. The statement is a reflection of accountability. What you're saying dismisses accountability. "you can work hard to build one for a life and one single person can ruin it"; you have control of your reputation. Your name can be dragged through the mud, you can be lied about, but ultimately you are responsible for your reputation and his statement is speaking to making a mistake (personal accountability) and how that can impact your reputation as a whole.

That’s pretty sad actually. It’s a job, nothing more. If you’re a new guy… sure that’s fine. But if you over romanticize it, you buy into the hype. Then you become the guy that associates who you are, with what you do for a living. That’s not healthy. Eventually you become the dude who can’t walk away when you should. Nothing sadder or more pathetic, than a guy who can retire, but has nothing better goin on in his life, because he let the job become part of his identity.

My dad has been a fire fighter for Los Angeles County for 30 years. I almost followed in his footsteps and became a certified EMT, passed the CPAT fitness test and ended up taking the LA County written exam. What’s not talked about enough is how much stress these men/women are constantly under and the toll it takes on their physical/mental health. My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer roughly 15 years into his career at the age of 41 and fought it for 2 years while continuing to work in the station. Fast forward 15 years later, he’s now 56 and just had 3 stents put in his heart in order to prevent a fatal heart attack. 2 of his arteries were 90% occluded and the 3rd was 80% occluded. It’s a miracle that the doctors found the clogged arteries before it was too late. He has been in great shape his whole career and maintained a healthy diet. Roughly 45% of fire fighter on duty deaths are heart attacks and according to the CDC, the number 1 killer of firefighters is cancer. Their life expectancy is also about 10 years less than the average person. Its a greatly respected profession and large departments pay extremely well. I understand that what firefighters are exposed to comes with the job. But I believe more attention and prevention practices should be brought to the health of firefighters and how they can potentially prevent disease and serious health problems.

I think firefighters are always amazing. I think we live because of the effort to save others even if we sacrifice ourselves. I can't tell you in person, but thank you always!

[@keoniadavis8336]

Thank you so much!

[@fuengo5607]

Just now finishing my fire 1, I wanna say that this video has inspired me to keep going even more. I hope the best for anyone going through the same process and hopefully one day we can be saving our communities.

[@BLADExARTx5160]

I envy the camaraderie you guys have, after I left the military I've yet to find it again. Keep doing what y'all do and be safe!

[@HeatherLedford-s3p]

I appreciate everything you do as a Firefighter. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding 👍💪. Thank you so very much for your service. May God always keep you safe and healthy where ever you go

[@mortenq3153]

Love the design of your t-shirts. The department im in, in Denmark, we just have a small logo on one side of the chest, and department and name on the other side of the chest 😊 And great video 😊👍

[@bullitt5337]

It’s so cool how the department I work for is strikingly similar to yours, (size, call volume, the daily routine) but so far away. Been in the fire service for over 20 years and love to watch your videos. They are always very well done. Stay safe

[@DU-km3bw]

You are so lucky. In Germany the fire houses are too small. Sometimes we need five minutes to park an engine on its parking spot

[@KleinerDrache]

Know that really well, especially when the cars go bigger and bigger so there´s no space left for the fire trucks on the street. ( as one example )

[@evelynholmes1097]

I just shared this with my son. He’s a junior in high school. And is inspired by becoming a firefighter 👨‍🚒 💪🏽

[@h.kendrick0781]

I love this so much...I have been wanting to be a firefighter since I was like 5 yrs old so this helped a lot but it will be a couple more years before I can join.

[@dante4110]

I was a firefighter for 36 years, retiring as chief... my respects comrades, greetings from Buenos Aires Argentina

[@realjasonvorhees]

I'm firefighter too actually But Damn this fire station is like a mansion And the guy who presented this video you are awesome and may god bless you I wish I can work with people like you So much Respect ✌️ Keep up the hard work ✌️

[@edball4906]

I'M FIREFIGHTER TOO ACTUALLY BUT DAMN THIS FIRE STATION IS A MANSION AND THE GUY WHO PRESENTED THIS VIDEO YOU ARE AWSOME AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU WISH CAN WORK WITH PEOPLE LIVE YOU SO MUCH RESPECT KEEP UP THE HARD WORK

[@matthewsnyder3892]

These brothers love what they do and it shows. As a East Coast Fire/Medic you lost me at 48hr shifts, the operator wearing turnout gear and a ladder company going on a fall victim. To each their own keep loving what you do brothers.

[@richardjones4080]

its interesting some of the terms you use there that we in the we in the UK have differently for example MVA we call an RTC used to be RTA

[@akimbo5u]

Its different in other parts of the US too. In Atlanta, we call a "run" a "call". We dont say MVA we say MVC... and there is more

[@DaveTaste]

We call nightshifts "bedtime" in the UK.

[@CHRiS-ez5ui]

Firefighter from Germany here, YOU GUYS ROCK, great web series! :)) All it took was one video to build your reputation and get me hooked lol

[@a.c.6426]

I’m 37 and am running through the process as a volunteer.. my goal, become a career firefighter.. take massive action and make a huge move for personal growth and to give back to my community.. This was a great vid!!

[@lrgreen97]

Good luck! Im 24 currently working as an electrician but I'm trying to make the jump to firefighter too

[@aceyyyy]

Damn, LaBorde's work ethic and attitude is inspiring!

[@ChristieRogersvloggingcorner]

Watching from Australia and it was really interesting to see all of the different aspects that go into everything you do. Thanks for sharing!! :)

[@kin6kon6ify]

Thank you first responders for everything you do to save our lives when we are in danger 👮🏻🧑🏻‍🚒🚓🚒🚑🚔🚨

[@shadowangel3995]

I just found your KZbin channel but I have been following you guys on Twitter ever since you guys first did a co-op video with Michelle Khare. Thank you for all you guys do and for doing so many videos with Michelle to help bring awareness to some very important jobs.

[@seanvernon5549]

Great video guys keep up the great work and full respect to you all and the fire fighter in the uk

[@debralegg5632]

I enjoyed seeing the guts of the fire house along with all the activities that happen on a daily basis. It brought me an even greater respect for the profession.

[@smiththomson95]

Hello Debra How are you doing today?

[@jacobwright70]

That intro is badass! Great job Connor and Eric!

[@stevejohnson4462]

Justin, you did a great job in describing your duties, giving a tour of the station, and representing the department. Thanks for an excellent presentation, and keep up the good work.

[@SupremeChief1]

Future, past, present EMT’s, Police, Firefighters have my respect always

[@Punicia]

Only firefighters and EMT's for me.

[@eggy7346]

I've taken a front seat at firefighters... fighting fires only once (thankfully) when I was about 9 or 10 and remember thinking, "Those guys are freakin cool." I dunno if it was the panic and anxiety or simply their Chad aura, but I felt a wave of relief seeing them arrive and exit the hulking red trucks to take care of the fire at our school

[@TheRealThaenatos]

Coming from one firefighter to another this is pretty damn accurate to how we operate. No job is better than being a FF/EMT!

[@shortsparks]

Who's here after watching Michelle Khare's Challenge video? Thanks to her I'm so much more appreciative of what you guys do, definitely subscribing, thank you for all your sacrifice and hard work to keep us safe!

[@NewyorksMagic]

this will be me one day! i honestly can't wait, this is my dream

[@jonw1958]

Hell yeah, good luck with everything! Nothing will surprise you after this lifestyle :)

[@Sercan_53]

Chip Skylark always follow your dreams and never give up always have your sucesses and dont listen to people who say you cant do it. Good like my good freind.👍👍👍👍

[@trejackson2561]

@Uncle EdMan don't be so hateful. He can become a firefighter with hard work and dedication! Good luck Chip Skylark!!

[@maddiec9812]

im 15 years old and its my DREAM to become a firefighter, ive been on a ride along and it was amazing!

[@picassogamez]

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SERVICES !

[@ninjagaming2036]

That must be so aggravating to try and get breakfast twice, one being a false alarm 😂😂😂 like nooooo my eggs!!!

[@JJarx]

It's cool how they all go shopping together and hangout and I respect that they stop what there doing even for a false alarm

[@willi6837]

What they signed up for

[@southerntruckin4351]

All these videos have made me want to be a firefighter even more, keep it up.

[@ronbriggs6905]

Great video. Growing up in an Emergency Services family, this is 100% true.
