Fire Academy - Week 1 of 16 (1080p)
Welcome to Week #1 of Fire Academy for Unified Fire Authority's Recruit Class #54. This has been an intense and exciting first week for these 36 recruits. They've been pushed both mentally and physically, they were introduced to our Department’s culture/history, and they were taught firefighting basics. This week was more or less a hands-on introduction for what's to come. Stay tuned as Public Information Officer Ryan Love documents their every move, bringing you video updates for the next 16 weeks.
All recruits and cadre have conducted a rapid COVID test - all negative. We will maintain a COVID-aware campus through frequent testing, daily screening, and vaccination efforts.#UNIFIED54

South metro has some KZhead competition lol
I was just thinking that
But South Metro is South Metro. They are legends and started a great thing.
@@Auburngal03 of course, I’m not taking away any credit
Instablaster.
I actually like this series more than South Metro
This week's sponsor is "water" XD pure gold.
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
❤
Glad to hear the story. I'm 28 thinking of starting over and doing this so this makes me feel better about my chances
25 about to start my journey
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.
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?
WE KIVE YOU SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU FOR BEEN HERE FOR US!!!💗💗💗💗💗
i like the dedication bell u gotta admit to the entire class that you are a quiter now that's a true walk of same
This is an awesome day in the life of this class. Outstanding work everyone! Keep it up
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel. Your videos are great!
Hey Evan!!!!
awesome video, cheers to the editing and camera man the story line! Everything Awesome !
Very professional and attention to detail
Looking forward to joining unified as an EMT as soon as I pass my NREMT.
Awesome God Bless all these recruits!
Great video! I am currently a month into fire school and it is by far the most mentally and physically challenging thing I’ve ever done. Adapt and overcome.
How was it Joey ?
@@Gymrat56 I graduated! Passed all state exams and I’m currently sending out applications.
@@Joby1980 HELL YEA. Good stuff Joey
@@Joby1980 I asked out of curiosity because I start in a week and a half, nervous but so excited.
@@Gymrat56 Start working on running, push ups and sit ups. As much as you can. Keep your mouth shut. Yes sir, no sir, thank you sir, nothing more. And you’ll be fine.
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 :D
I went to USMA and these cadre are so sweet. It’s an interesting but good looking approach
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.
oh man! these guys and ladies look like they already have the shape, strength, and just the overall look to be a firefighter and im not small but im not what they look like going into may fire school program. damn I got to start lifting a lot and buffing up lol. tips appreciated !
This is hilarious! Great video big bosses
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
The state academy? In Pearl?
@@Mondtay33 Yessssirrr
Im 15 and im looking forward to hopefully being a fire fighter
Nice. I was thinking of moving to UT. Now I have somewhere to apply after I get my EMT-B.
Man wish my fire academy instructors were so nice lol
Heard that. Lol
Haha for real
Hola, los sigo desde Argentina 🇦🇷, son excelentes aprendo con ustedes, yo a días de comensar como instructor del curso de ingreso de Bomberos Voluntarios de San Antonio de Areco
Que bueno que nos sigue de tan lejos!! Cuanto tiempo lleva de bombero en Argentina? Yo viví an Chile por un par de años, pero eso fue en el año 2000!
@@UnifiedFireUtah hola llevo 22 años en actividad.
I’m really thinking about becoming a firefighter frl man
You can do it
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
@@irondolphin1559 thanks
@@irondolphin1559 wait why do they not get paid
@@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
@@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.
Yikes. That maze is no joke.
what kinda running do yall do?
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.👍
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.
In your department is does being colourblind affect your chances of being selected for training to become a firefighter?
Do you have to live at the academy?
What’s the song called when the video first started
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 .🙌🏾
I want to be a firefighter so bad but I'm super underweight and can barely do a single pushup 🥲 time to hit the gym and buy a shit ton of protien powder I guess
❤️
Salut to future firefighters go man an women go go...
this looks like military bootcamp on easy mode
It aint the same. Theyre not trained to kill like we are.
You guys take applications from CA ?
Absolutely! Please visit www.unifiedfire.org to join our interest list. Thank you for your interest! unifiedfire.org/testing-process/
I’m going into the navy and want to be a firefighter after
สุดยอดมาก
I'm in the application process. I know it will be difficult. I know it will be more difficult trying not to laugh at the cheesiness of the speeches.
as someone who wants to be a firefighter but has a lot of trauma how bad would it be but also do they yell at you
@Insomniac Gaming thanks for the advice
Starting fire academy September 26
Please can someone help me to become a member of firefighter, I'm from Africa
So you guys are a private sector fire authority?
UFA is Utah’s largest fire agency with 694 employees serving an estimated 422,049 residents in 15 municipalities and Salt Lake County. The UFA provides service to all unincorporated areas of Salt Lake County and one municipality (Eagle Mountain) is located in Utah County.
@@UnifiedFireUtah yeah I read that on your wiki but it's vague are you a government agency or are you guns for hire?
@@paulmarine5055 Essentially guns for hire contracted by multiple local governments.
They could have also replied with "yes" haha
@@JoshBlomquist yeah people generally aren't proud of being mercenaries so they try to hide it.
I want to be a fireman at US but I live in turkey and Im thinking to move out of turkey and become fireman at US is that posible ?
Anything is possible my friend!
Id like to be a firefighter im 14 um i wanna be an engineer im in highschool do you all have any suggestions
Do as much research as possible. There's excellent prep websites and KZhead channels that will help prepare you. If it's your dream, DON'T GIVE UP!
How much does it cost go through this academy?
Probably free, dude. If they are employee's and have been hired they are more than likely getting paid to go through the academy. That's how it was in my academy at least. If you're looking for an academy and haven't been hired, check into your local colleges.
@@lukefrantz4985 alright thanks
These recruits have all been offered full-time jobs as a firefighter/EMT. We require zero certs prior to the academy. Through this 16 week academy, the recruits will acquire FF1, FF2, HAZMAT OPS & Awareness, and EMT-Basic.
@@UnifiedFireUtah Are there other training and course after that 16 weeks? In HK, firefighter and ambulance need 26 weeks of basic training.
But do they make good money to be able to support a family with a wife and kids? Same with wildland firefighters
You can see our full pay scale here unifiedfire.org/pay-benefits/
Salary per month ..?.
Sorry for the delay, but here's a link to our salary information. unifiedfire.org/pay-benefits/
I hate the plastic shields on the helmets
Is this Buds?
I'm a Nurse and I'm Zhadee
How many of the recruits have Covid-19’s?😂😂😂😂😂
Happy to report that not one of them contracted Covid-19 while in camp!
Nomex going on wrong
Cop training is the opposite of this. The facilitators hate you and want you to fail. And tell you over and over again why the job sucks.And they wonder why there is a cop shortage
🤣
Still not vaccinated
US of A advertising....
16 weeks fireacademy? Thats ta joke or? In Germany we go 1,5-2 Years. No wonder so many of you die. And then claim you are the best of the best?
This isn’t the US government. On average it takes a total of four years to become a professional firefighter in the US. Also,the us and Germany had the same amount of firefighter deaths last year
Whatever dude. 3 years my ass……
@@NathanielChapman. "the same amount of firefighter deaths last year"? Lol good Joke
Why do they act like their in buds training😂😂 embarrassing
