- On this episode of South Metro Unscripted we ride along with Probationary Firefighter Stensvad during her first day working as a firefighter on Tower 32.
3 years ago today since this episode...should do an update on where the probies are today.
That is what I just ask for. read my other post.
If you think about it, a Fire Fighters career never ends.
Fr tho
Shannan is a recruit training officer now at the academy.
Shannan is in the newest video, she’s an RTO
first day as a fireman... and we're gonna film ya... and post it on YT... no pressure.
RIGHT! lol
this awesome
I think she did a good job from what I could see
You go girl.😁
Not a Fireman, she is a woman
Best job in the world hands down. My official retirement date is Aug 19 of ‘22 and it is a very crazy bittersweet feeling. I am ready to retire but the realization of it all being over and never putting on the uniform and doing the job brings in floods of emotions.
hope you had a good first year of retirement. as a kid looking at these videos hoping to be a hero like all of you one day, i just wanted to remind you that uniform or no uniform, you are a hero and you always will be. thank you so much for your service and protection.
Firefighters say this type of stuff with only half honestly. The reality is, you couldn’t wait to hit your 25 years so you could cash in on your FPPA.
South Metro really puts out 1st grade videos. The new probie appears she is really fitting in really well at her assigned fire house and she seems to be a go get it!! She really works hard. Great stuff and God Bless her.
The PIO does a really fantastic job at his profession, keep up the good work!
Sidney Morrison the 3 of them!
This might not matter my comment but I just wanna thank all the fire departments for all the hard work they do everyday to keep us all safe it’s not an easy job.
My late husband was a firefighter EMT. I walked miles back and forth in my living room while he was on call. There were a couple of times when he almost didn't come home. Those guys put their Ives on the line every day. There isn't enough thanks to give them for what they do. May God bless and protect them.

thank you
@@debbiepearce5681 thank you for your husband's service, and I am sorry about your loss. My grandmother died in April
@@RealDoctorMuffins Thank you. Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
@@debbiepearce5681 Thank you, you too. :)
Nice video, not overdone. Professional and simple. Depending on the department or even the shift, being a probie can be quite hard
Especially here in pasco proxies are called floaters we do not have a set station for them yet
David Weston yup
It sure can be. The learning process can be a bit stressful. But take advantage of the time you have to learn your crew, your equipment, and your apparatus. Because that certainly doesn’t stop after fire academy.
It'd be nice to get an update of the newbies now it's 2 years later. Any chance of that happening?
Great vid, thanks for sharing.
Yessssssss Pleassseeeeeee
Yes please
She was fired.
Aldo the Apache Wheres the proof?
@@Bravo-Too-Much real?
Bright girl with a personality for this seemingly! I'm sure she's doing great 2 1/2 years later!
I remember my first day, a little more than 25 yrs ago. Enjoy, it goes by fast.
What a charming young lady, I wish her well .
t34 fan
Hehehe 😉
Would you give it to her?
WHAT A CHARMING LADY, I WISH HER WELL .
This episode was excellent. As a fellow female firefighter, this made me proud to see the achievement of another woman in the fire service being highlighted so professionally and simply. Proud to serve!
jojoargento Same! So good to see us successful and highlighting eachother!
im a firefighter myself jojoargento.from ky.
You fd
This woman is beautiful on the inside and out! Way to go Shannon ;) You make Grand County Proud!

She used to be a Resident Firefighter before I was at Grand Fire Protection District 1 in Granby, CO. South Metro is lucky to have her
What an amazing video. I always wanted to be a railroad engineer and I achieved that in 1981. It was so thrilling for me so I can understand your sense of achievement in what all of you fire fighters have accomplished. Thank you so much for your service you guys have made the lives of the citizens so much safer.
Great vid! Very real, no hype. Ms. Stensvad is a wonderful host through the episode.She really exemplifies that combination of intelligence, grit and big heart which is so often found in firefighters. I wish her all the best in her career. The "first to the phone" thing is too funny!
2:25 How I want my girl picking up my call
8:10 How I want my girl react when I come home 😉
@@FabFunty lol
I hope if I need help it's not a woman coming for me
How girls react when they see me
good one
Congratulations first day firefighter.
I was 33 years ago first day.
keeping big your dreams.
i really look up to u guys. im getting ready to be going to emt scool so i can be a firefighter paramedic eventually. thankyou for all your hard work and dedication
SOLID work Boot! Proud to see you move from Summit to the city.....Be Safe!
Great video!! Hats off to you. And all the veteran FTO's
God Bless.
❤❤❤
Awesome Video! God Bless All The Men and Women Who Do These Services! May The Lord Be With You Always!
I love your enthusiasm and reminds me of what I miss about the job. Stay safe!
She will remember her first incident, mine was 28 yrs ago, industrial accident and I can still recall it like it was yesterday.
Great video production. Not overdone. My first watching of a S. Metro video. Ms. Stensvad was a good representative...
Man she's a go getter. Great video! Need more like that in the fire service!
Awesome video. Thank you for sharing and I wish you the best with your future!
Very nice...thank you for the beginning of your service...wish you well
Good luck to you and your partner. I can tell just by watching this video that you will have a fantastic future as a firefighter/medic. Take care and be safe..........
P.S. I can also tell that you love your job!!!!!!!!!!
The passion and love she has for her job is frikken awesome
Greetings from The Netherlands.....nice docu, normaly we see and hear screaming horns.......to see the men and women in action is great.....thank you for sharing
Very well made video , wish this firefighter and her colleagues all the very best and keep safe. . Well done again.
Hands up everyone whose colleagues are this motivated.....yuh. A different breed this lot. Thank goodness.
Love the positive attitude, it will go a long way. Finding your place in the station is important, earning the trust of her teammates.
I love boots when they have a great attitude! Helps me keep going. Cheers.
Awesome video, I am waiting for the city of Atlanta process to open up. I am so excited and ready. These videos are very insightful and appreciated.
What a great video and thank you for your service
Again and again very great videos, makes simply fun to watch. Greetings from Switzerland ^^
This was a great video about how things appear from a Probies perspective. She had such an excellent background a role models she was just destined to serve. I hope she was able to obtain her certification as a SWAT Medic too, she seems to be properly wired for that job too.
6:45 *I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT BEFORE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A GREAT IDEA....* having a rear seated person operating the air horns(via a strap from the horn wire on the roof, stretched to the rear of the cab) while responding hot to an incident, it leaves the officer to look up directions(map usage), radio ops & assisting the driver by watching the passenger side of the apparatus while responding(hot). I saw it hanging in the officers face earlier in the vid but wasn't positive why it was there.....at least I'm hoping I'm correct w/its general purpose?? Awesome vid!!!!! Stay safe all!!!
Very impressive... God bless you all. Stay safe out there.
Wow Thank You for this video I just really loved it and a big THANK YOU for your service I am sure you are doing just great in your career!
Excellent work on the video South Metro, a really well done video.
She is going places! She has the perfect mentality and devotion this job requires - good on her!
yep, but she needs to be very careful - sometimes if there's a lot of smoke inside during a fire, her mentor could still be inside while awaiting orders if she doesn't know what to do next.
Unfortunately, a week or two later: it will be registered as a LODD
Truly wish you much success and happiness - u have a n amazing spirit...thank you for your dedication and service.
I live in Kansas City and y’all have made me want to be a firefighter I actually have started the process and I’m excited for it love y’all !!!!!
These videos motivate me to continue my passion!
Good on her! Great attitude and work ethic showing there, she will go far in her career I've no doubt :-)
“Not a whole lot going on” Midnight gets hammered with a MVA, Structure fire, and the Frequent Flyer...
Better than saying “quiet.”
meanwhile my local fire department getting 1 structure fire per 3 months
Excellent production.
Sounds like her whole family are first responders, now that’s cool and nothing but respect for them.👍😁😎
3:10 “im gonna sit over here” he must be thinking “i will get my face in my food if i sit next to the prob ff
Nice to see new firefighter being enthusiastic. Even racing to answer the phone bodes well. 95% of the firefighters day is routine so enjoying and being motivated to just lift that phone first really does reflect well on that stations attitude. If you answer the phone so positively I can only imagine the motivation in checking the equipment which is much more enjoyable… have a great and safe career. The kit they wear compared to U.K. is amazing.
Congratualtions on your first day Firefighter Stensvad!
My first call was a single vehicle rollover. It was about 9pm on a cold December night, day or two old snow on the ground. It was on a back road in the middle of nowhere. The [incredibly heavy] guy was already extricated when we got there. We were then tasked with staging a medevac landing zone in the roadway. I remember it so clearly, the ride there, the sensations, sights and sounds of a helicopter landing in the cold snowy night, even what the medevac paramedic said to us about the heli danger zones.
My uncles first call was a false alarm at a middle school
THIS IS AWESOME!!! GREAT VIDEO!!
Thank you for posting this video. I am 15 and very interested in fire fighting I am a JR fire Explorer in Texas and planning on making this my career and it's nice to see what it will be like on my first day of being a fire fighter. Thank you
Im a irl firefighter and south metro is one great fire department congrats probationary firefighter stensvad for being apart of south metro.
Another Great Episode
Excellent Firefigting Girl and a Great Fire Fighter Film
What a sweetheart.... Reminds me of my Niece when she started out...
Great video! You’re going to do great! One tip that I like to share is when you start the saws don’t immediately go wide open throttle, instead start the saw let it idle a few seconds then slowly increase throttle until you’re wide open. Then don’t hold it there back off and see if the saw will continue to idle. Other than that good luck
This lady rocks Be safe out there enjoy ur career as a firefighter
Good video. Been there, done that myself. VA Beach, VA, CO-11, "A Shift." 1974-1980
I think its really cool to see those very first' s... stacking the probie with responsibility is a crucial part of of training
Proud of her... God bless her and all firefighters.🙏. Women can do anything. Fireheroes.👍🔥😁.
OMG thats sooo funny how they jumped up and ran! I did the exact same thing my first day!!!😄
Love these videos
South Metro Fire is the best. Cheers from Castle Rock.
Im soon to start working with franktown and love seeing south metro rigs keep it up love the vids
Welcome, Sister. You're part of the family now. Stay safe out there.
I agree with you 100 percent
Excellent!!! Well done!!!
Parabéns ao South Metro Fire Rescue, Forte Abraço Direto do Brazil
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Nice video. Seems like a good bunch of guys and gals. Stay safe out there Brothers and Sisters.
Always good when every1 takes the time to show and talk about the rigs etc i know all work together and that but i bet at some stations you always get 1 that doesnt want to show? I dont know
You should do another Episode on her to see how she is liking her job as another episode.
Wow!! They’re a lot nicer to her than they were to me 28 years ago 😂🤣
Pretty female, makes sense
Bumshack stereotypical sexism i see.
@@centralnewyorkresponses7887 Na its happens, in OWL in woodbridge VA, they do the same thing. Nice to the pretty women and nasty to the men. Its why i decided to leave that sh!thole department
they do it because not alot of women join the service but alot of men do their trying to make sure they can keep women in the industry the dont worry about men leaving
Some advice from a 10 year veteran (Injured/retired) Make sure you know that sometimes those guys that have been there a while like to mess with the Booters. If they ask you go fill the engine with blinker fluid, or ask you to grease the muffler bearings, stop and find the biggest fire extinguisher and chase them around the engine with it. When you finally hit one, you wont be a Booter no more grasshopper. I got baptized my 1st week going interior so my Eng. Co didn't go after me. (EP 8, EP 121, LifeStar EMS FOM Payson/Globe/Miami AZ).
Already on the tower! Good luck to ya!
Very inspiring!
Nice work good to see.. M from Sweden.. :)
¡That's a badass rookie right there!🔥✊
Being a rookie firefighter/emt is cool and humbling. I am in that situation now. I am also a Army National Guard Medic balancing two career fields can be stressful lucky for me its the same job almost.
Reminds me of my first day,,, med locals and brush. Great job ...
She is so pretty. May God bless SMFR crew!
She will do well :) Good luck to her future!
im a volunteer firefighter here in harlan ky and hearing that sound of the siren is a rush for me.
I got my emt in dec of 2016 and now work for a hospital based 911 system in jersey and love it.
How old were you if u dont mind me asking?
Curious if Fire Fighter Stensvad is still assigned to truck 32 and was I wondering if there is a possability of follow interview with her. She is very professional with and looks like she enjoys what she does I hope she make Lt or a captain someday thank you.
Great video!
Good people right there my uncle keny hammend is a ic for the redoak iowa fire department.
Awesome, I am glad I subbed
It's no wonder the apparatus have such a short "shelf life" running a tower on all those EMS runs multiple times a day.
We need more videos like this
9:13 all those emotions running through her face
I am a Pasco County firefighter Really good video
What an ethos, and a great smile too
This video is two yrs old and was gonna say GoodLuck and don’t date within. You will be at parties and know the party animals are within. LoL
Hope you are having a blast and still with them.
👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Congratulations you are a master firefighter
It’s interesting that you guys have the engines and trucks outfitted with reds and blues. In my area only cops have reds and blue as well as ambers and the fire teams only have reds and whites along with amber turn signals.
We just got the ability to have blues where I work. It's amazing the difference they make. Less blinding then white strobes at night/fog/snow, better success with people pulling over and research shows blues instead of whites decrease risk of PTSD over a career
In my city police department has red blue and white our fire department also has red blue white light bars but the engines and rescue squads are the FDNY engines since our firefighters went to New York on 9/11 so it's pretty cool to see these trucks in our streets
We just transitioned to red and blues also. It really does make a difference in visibility.
We run red and blue in iowa also. Big difference from just red and white.
armycadets in my agency we run a blue light over each rear axle on our ambulances. There’s some places in NY that run red and blue to the front of fire trucks. Sheriff cars in my county have 1 blue light front facing and like 2 or 3 rear facing. It’s very weird here in NY.
