This is a documentary produced and given to the kids at Phoenix Children's Hospital that can not leave the hospital. After it was finished we had the awesome opportunity to show it there and the firefighters came along and made the kids' day!
Producer/Director: Nick Finelli Assistant Director: Janna Srutowski Cinematographer/ Shooter: Mike Myers 2nd Shooter: Chiara Spence 3rd Shooter: Bryce Bowen Editing: Group Collaboration
Becoming a fire fighter is probably the best thing I have ever done with my life
yolo must die i want to be one so bad and im only 13 what is it like?
Is it something you always wanted to do? Or did you just one day decide?
always wanted to do!
luke lippincott oh OK me too lol I was just wondering. Its frustrating trying to even apply though lol
lol
most gratifying career in my book!!
The value the fire service provides is insurmountable and in some ways cannot be quantified. Firefighters are helping others every day on the job and contributing towards a greater good and safety of our future. Especially as we grow as a more technological society, the role of the fire service and the sense of community we realize how special this really is. 41.8% of volunteer firefighters have 10 plus years of active service, and 49% of the US population is protected by all career fire departments, which are both statistics that show how passionate and dedicated of an industry it is. There are many unique ways in which to grow and contribute within a department. We thank everyone who is a part of the fire service for all that they do.
Thank you for all that you guys do! I appreciate anyone who can put their lives on the line to save others. I plan on joining my Volunteer Fire Dept. In upstate NY. Thank you again for all that you guys do!
+Zack L What county? I'm in Orange County NY in my department
+xGolBLiiN I'm a firefighter in Franklin County.
Thanks for sharing! My kids loved the video. =)
Ever since I was small I've always wanted to be a firefighter, sadly my asthma is not allowing me to do the thing I love most.
Kezza ㅤㅤ know the feeling, i have heart problems that dont allow me to run for very long, im going to try for it anyways
Kezza keep fighting bro I hope your dreams come true
LochNess_Beast never give up brother you’ll succeed
You can still be like a dispatcher or just like a guy that stays at the station and cleans up
I've got COPD and after spending 40 years on vol. dept's I had to give it up. 99% of people have no clue what it take to be a real certified fire fighter!
Enjoyed this. Thanks for putting your time and effort into making this.
Kudos to Firefighters all over the world. :)
All young kids love firefighters. Their parents should make sure their kids grow up to respect Firefighters and Paramedics. There is no excuse for assault or hoax calls.
This stuff is what I love!
Thank you for this video.
Great tutorial of the live of a firefighter!
5 stars, great production. I'm taking a video production class at my high school and my dad is a fire captain so I was thinking about doing a Day In the Life video and this is almost exactly what I envisioned! Really great job on this documentary, hats off to you!
Well done to all brave firefighters worldwide (which nowadays is, I feel a term that does not do these guys justice.) Yes they put out the most ferocious fires nature can throw at them, from a raging bushfire started most probably through careless tobacco use, to home fires, risking life and limb to save anyone (or anything) as even if the humans are safely out, they will go back in to save PETS! a life is a life, and a firefighter does not care what species that life takes. However they now do SO much more. They risk their lives to rescue people (and pets) from freezing water, attend highly dangerous gas and chemical incidents, Provide safety advice to homeowners, rescue people who are trapped after a vehicle crash with their greatest tool, the 'jaws of life', rescue people in perilous situations such as becoming stranded on a small cliff ledge, and yes, if all else fails, after 24 hours, they will get your cat out of a tree. They also rescue cats from dangerous places such as rooftops or puppies from sewers etc. I feel they need a name which not only covers putting out fires, but ALL the HEROIC and often dangerous work they do.
Thank you firefighters.
Awesome video
great job on the production
Good people
i think they do great job.
well done
Great video
Great vid. Nice engine too. Thanks for all y'all do.
Awesome. Brave, brave guys
Regarding the helmets, the rookies wear yellow and my fiancé is a black helmet. He's one that's qualified to go into a fire, he's a level 2.
Helmets in our area*

Some departments are different in regards to colour. Brampton Ontario Canada, FF's wear red and captains wear yellow
Yeah, it is sad that good videos don't get viewed. Just remember, heroes don't get recognition :o
Firefighters are awesome, Its a selfless job. Heroes in my book! plus they're cute in their ff clothes LOL!
Its not always a job
Some of us, including myself, are volunteers
I am a volunteer Firefighter as we'll.
Micsmit 45 I commend you for that!
I think they look cute too
Love this video
wanna be one when I grow up
If you can't make fun of dead people it's not for you. Seriously your gonna see the darkest most vile scenes you're probably to you to imagine, and if you cant show up on that scene with a smile and tell jokes don't do it. There is no shame in it, it's an awesome job I love it. But it's more then people can imagine.
+Bounty6Gulf I know il just like do something funny before
I too want to be a firwfighter.
+Joel Solkowitz Firefighter
+Steel_Delta If you ever have any questions feel free to ask, it's the best job on the planet!
I've never seen that cooling handle, we had the paint blister on a truck that was 75 ft. from a fire.
I want to be a firefighter when I grow up
If your 14 or 15 you can do Fire Explorers If your Fire Department has one
+Alec Vandercar I'm only 8 LOL 😄
Explorers will help get your foot in the door for firefighting. You learn a lot from explorers. :)
And if you have any questions about anything don't be afraid to message me I'll help you to the best of my ability.
+Alec Vandercar can u do fire explores in England?
The bronto is so cool nice video
love it
bye Bye post office.... Need some excitement! Cant wait until I start the Academy. I am preparing 20 sit up a day, 40 push ups, and keeping flexible ... Im so hype right now!
How did it go man? 6 years!! Wow!
firefighters dont have "oxygen packs" its just plain compressed air. you put compressed oxygen in a super heated area what happens?
not "put" per say. but the ones im talking about are open-circuit SCBA apparatus, which have filtered, compressed air instead of pure oxygen. thats why most departments only allow like 3-4 bottles during a fire. i mean it may have some oxygen but thats what i understood from the training class
Mitch S actually you only should use 3 or 4 cilinders per fire cos that air is dry air...and why is air an not only O2? well there is a reason why 18% to 22% of O2 is pre-seated in our gases meters..
I'm a firefighter here in Ontario. I noticed when he was showing some of the equipment on the truck he referred to one piece as a "horizontal standpipe". I've never heard it called that before, here in Canada we call them a "Gated wye connection". Is that what you call them in the US, or was that just a simple mistake?............ Stay safe out there brothers!
wooooooooooooooooooow wooooooooooooow
Pure Oxygen is never carried into a fire. Oxygen bottles can be found in Ambulances, however, if someone is lacking the proper oxygen they need. If there is a leak, the fire will feed off the leak in the canister.
Did you not read the "Its just compressed air..." part?
I didn't know firefighters can have long hair?
12:34 #chillbumps
Being a firefighter is more than that. Please take my bunker gear, I would like too see your opinion after you do any call, either it be a medical, crash, fire, or Pub. Ed. I love my job and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I do it to make a difference in someones life. If it's saving someones life from fire, or getting a child's cat out of a tree, at the end of the day I helped someone. Please do not disregard someone until you've been in their shoes. Have a nice day. Keep safe.
Horizontal stand pipe??? You mean the Y?
that is cool
Don't get me wrong here, a thousand degrees is pretty damn hot, but I'don't expect those jackets to with stand a max or min of 2,000 degrees. As a welder, heavy duty leather welding jacket is you best friend especially dealing with temperate that easily exceed 6,000 to way past 10,000 degrees if you don't watch it. As I'm becoming a firefighter, I'm realizing more and more, my leather jacket is really my best friend.
Do they have high pressure lengths of hose or hose reels?
What's the links of this video?
all you people talking about him saying oxygen its for children so chill out he isnt gonna start saying compressed air and crap they know oxygen
since firefighters do 24 hour shifts do they get to sleep at the station ?
yes
Yes
not unless they get a structure fire that last all night
do the engineers wear different PPE? i saw theirs were black
Breathing pure (or perhaps more accurately higher than normal concentrations of) oxygen can kill you but this is often as an indirect effect of a condition known as oxygen toxicity. For example divers breathing pure oxygen from a tank can lose conciousness and drown as a result of this. It is actually lack of oxygen through drowning that has killed them but the oxygen toxicity that induced the unconsciousness that caused this.
I agree with Nate, even though he's probably not actually a firefighter
It was an awesome video. Stop commenting about stupid things....sometimes people say can you bring me some Kleenex. It's a brand not the name. But people know what ur talking about
No sad there is only 3 comments!
Cool
I was interested in becoming a Firefighter, but after reading many stats online, the percentage of cancer is high, obviously much much higher than the general public. This is something that scares me. They even say that the stats on firefighter cancers are much higher than recorded stats because most cancers are diagnosed after firefighter retire and this is not recorded in the stats. What is your take on this?
I say if you have a passion for something go for it. Don't look at money or anything in the future. If it's something you love, go for it, don't let anything stop you.
I am currently a volunteer firefighter and I can say is dont let the aspect of something might happen with the new technology that we have today with better scba the cancer rates in the fire service are so much lower of even a decade ago it's more that you need to look out for yourself and make sure that you always take precautions for safety. But try it out volunteer or join a bunk in program to experience not just the job but the life style it can be so rewarding if you put your mind to it.
If it’s what you want to do, do it. If you don’t think you’d be willing to risk it all, it isn’t for you and that’s okay. Just be honest with yourself.
Thinking of becoming a firefighter I'm about to be in my senior year of highschool is there any way I can volunteer?
I'm currently 16 years old and I am a volunteer firefighter
Im 17 and im a voluntary firefighter
I live in Germany however
yep just go to your local volunteer fire dept and ask for an application but some dept require 18 or older
I hope there hireing
I'm a 16 year old girl and I've wanted to be a firefighter for as long as I can remember
Monotony does not affect the life of a firefighter.
When i found out that tommy karevik was a firefighter im quite interested in what happens
awesome video! I want to be a firefighter when I'm older! I'm 17 years old. What is the song used in the video around 45 seconds
at 30 seconds ***
+Avalanche19 I don't know the song man but you're the right age to be an exterior firefighter at your local Volunteer Fire Company. Exterior ops is everything from cars accidents to manning a hose on the outside of the structure. And while you're 17 you can get your classes in to be interior when you're of age.
I'm 16 and I'm a volunteer firefighter and I get to go hands on. Try it out!
What does the LT in LT9 stand for?
luitienent
I will be one of them
Or that it is an "Air Bottle". Beer comes in bottles, fish live in tanks...its an air cylinder.
The one thing that's different is the helmet
Guarantee you most kids will explain "air" more than they could "oxygen".. I got top comment I'm pretty sure my comment was valid.
I hate when people say that firefighters breath oxygen.. If you breathed pure oxygen it would kill you.. Its just compressed air..
You call a firefighter and a paramedic a firefighter/paramedic there's a 1970's show called EMERGENCY! about that. I wanted to be one ever since i saw EMERGENCY! Firefighter/paramedic Roy DeSoto A.K.A (Kevin Tighe) < (real name) is always driving a pickup truck looking paramedic emergency vehicle called Squad 51 in a present day fire station to this moment in the city of carson california station 127. And i think once each month they put the rescue vehicles in front of the station and let you look around and go in the station it's a big event there. Here is a list of main characters...(paramedics) Firefighter/paramedic Roy DeSoto. Firefighter/paramedic John Gage. (firefighters) Firefighter Chet Kelly. Firefighter Marco Lopez. Firefighter/engineer Mike Stoker. captain Hank Stanley. I forgot to mention anther real place called rampart general hospital here are some characters there...Head doctor Kelly Brackett.i'll finish this later
I love that show
Emergency was a good show
If you start getting ready at half seven what about the night if there's a fire
if your on a narrow road heading to an emergency and all of a sudden theres an ambulance and a police car which are also heading towards seperate emergencies, who gives way to who?
This depends on who arrives first.
Any firefighters care to talk to me i want to lean how to become one ??
Mitch S. . . . KFB happens
How is the suicide prevention program going?
3:37 is that a cast iron meat tenderizer?
Life? Did you mean live or lift? #spellcheck
OMG funny quinncidence when this video said 9:23 a.m. it was 9:23 a.m. where I live
cheerful lulu cool
My dream is to become a firefighter. 🚒
never to late
15 liters =)
very good video my freind says its boring so i smacked him hard and i said that firefighters are cool
I wanna be a firefighter
easyyyyyy
OUCH!!!
You mean lift kiddo?
That's not true because when someone on a medical call is having trouble breathing EMT's will give them O2 which is pure oxygen
...you're breathing air right now....you do realize that air has more than just oxygen don't you?
And also I never said anything about this documentary if you didn't notice.. I was generally saying I hate it.. Had absolutely nothing to do with this video.. So before you make an even bigger fool of yourself, please just leave me alone.. The top comment under me only got five thumbs up and it was there a month longer then mine.. Mine got 20.. So it obviously meant a lot of people agrees with me.. Bye
I really want to be a fire fighter .. Can a women be a fire fighter ?
+poppy luck Of course wtf. Where are you from?
Of coarse u can welcome to 2015 ;)
+poppy luck Yes, unfortunately. Firefighters and police officers used to be 250+ lbs and 6'0+ males, but now their departments are forced to accept 100 lbs and 5'0 incompetent wimps. Picking the best candidates is considered discrimination these days.
+OurGod56 what
+David Goldstein its liberals and their feelings centered agenda
Yes but that is at like 2-6%.. And in my comment I said PURE oxygen meaning the whole cylinder filled with it.. Please don't reply to my comment if you're going to say something of such ignorance.. Read it first.
This is not true my dad is a volentire firefighter and he is chef and his helmet is white second chief is red and third chief is yellow and rest of fire fighters are black helmets
Tyler Kintz it depends pal
not oxygen.. just normal air.
so much in stake can't take a break fire fighters you hate your life
What is this suppose to mean?
I think he means that some firefighters don't get a break after each call and that they hate thief life.
see I love it, it is about the thrill and the fact that you just helped sombody in need
It's a song by Theory of a Deadman- 'Hate my Life'
You drive nails - haters gonna hate.
V
really oxygen? lol try air why they are air packs
Think of it this way - it doesn't NOT contain oxygen. He never said anything about it being 100%. Stop bickering.

Try that and tell me how that actually works out for you.. Normally you breath 2-6% oxygen not pure oxygen.. I know what the fuck I'm talking about.. You breath 100% pure oxygen from a bottle and tell me how that feels..
What kind of sub-human gave this thumbs down? Oh wait, I know, feminists because they were not included in spite if not being able to pass the physical.
+Thomas Paine lol
+Thomas Paine I'm a firefighter. I passed the physical and i am a female. I'm a proud woman in the EMS career. Don't judge.
I'm a volunteer firefighters and there are many woman in this career and they kick ass
Cops and EMS because they know firefighters are cooler
Rebekah Lail u wouldn't pass to be a navy seal only men do
Breathing 100% oxygen does not kill you. It is very good for you. Haven't you heard of a hyperbaric chamber?
"I got top comment I'm pretty sure my comment was valid" lol seriously? A bunch of muslims agree with each other BY THE MILLIONS and all you got is 20.. Have you worshipped Allah yet?
How can you make good on your guarantee? Especially since kids cannot seem to explain either one.
Phoenix is a mess; mainly their fire department.
If the fire department was a mess, The city would have been burned down by now
