12 stations for 350,000 people?!?! In comparison, Santa Rosa, CA has a population of about 170,000 people, and they have 11 stations! The city needs to get you guys need more stations!
This video kicked my ass. The modern citizen will be trained in all sorts of emergency response. Like it or not, humans live in a cosmic shooting gallery and at any time we may face emergency. Thought processes for the handling of emergencies are different from the thought processes of hot tub life and are largely regulated by training. Lives are saved by training. Training is what humans do best, what separates us from the furry apes. Training for emergent situations is, at root, an acknowledgement that future time exists, that the future is unknown. Psychologists and cognitive scientsts are beginning to discern that our brains evolved to control future scenarios. Evolution has given us a tool set geared for that precise estimation. We look forward to a time when humans are fully logical. The SFD is fully logical. Cool beans, guys. PS. Damned decent video production.
Dream career dept I hope to be seeing you all soon I know for a fact that every fire in that video is your bread and butter at any time any where and look bad ass doing it keep on truckin you make me proud to be a firefighter
great video! Good job on the editing and the added music. What is going on at the 7:10 mark? Would love more info on this and the link to the unedited video if possible.
How bout that horse coming out of its stable and falling right into place to be harnessed up at 00:51!!! Damn! Now THAT’S the result of either lots of training, or lots of work....probably both. Sick!!
Michael Kushneruk a lot of times when it’s self ventilated we just make a bigger hole to allow for a larger exit for Heat and smoke. This provides for rapid fire knock down and allows interior crews less of a thermal layer inside the building.
Michael Kushneruk I understand your view. This job is dangerous and risky but we make educated judgement calls to reduce the overall risks to our firefighters and civilians who are still inside this super heated atmosphere. Unfortunately this job is filled with high risks all the time, even just responding with lights and sirens to all calls has high risk, but we do the best we can for our community. Thanks for your input 👍🏽.
Oh I know that this job is a dangerous job. Hint y I asked about ventilating when it was already self ventilated. I mean with everything today of how it is built it increases the ability for anything to happen so much higher then 15 years ago. It might just be being taught different and everything.
We use to have some female Firefighters but have retired after long careers. I know the SFD aggressively try’s to recruit females and and folks from all walks of life but for some reason we don’t get the large numbers of females who want to be Firefighters applying to Stockton.
I concur with Zac. The fire doesn’t care who you are. You need to be strong to do this job. I’ve seen male and female fail the physical agility test. Stockton is progressive by providing the best firefighters for their tax paying citizens. (Their videos prove this time after time) When someone’s trapped they don’t care what sex, nationality, or religion you are. They just want out. To do that you need to be strong. Any place that lowers the standard to meet someone’s inability to originally complete the task is doing a disservice to the other members of the department and to the community. I’ve worked with men and women who are top notch and can do the job. I’ve also worked with men and women who can’t do the job. Women just don’t make up a huge number of firefighters. This really needs to stop being a topic or concern of being unfair to them. It’s not about being fair. It’s about providing a service to save lives. I’m gonna be too old someday to keep providing the service that the community expects. Therefore I need to accept it. And that’s ok with me.
Im a Firefighter from Germany......Love your content....keep it up and always come home safe!

Why ventilate when it is self vented.
Michael Kushneruk a lot of times when it’s self ventilated we just make a bigger hole to allow for a larger exit for Heat and smoke. This provides for rapid fire knock down and allows interior crews less of a thermal layer inside the building.
So lets risk the lives of our fellow firefighters to make a bigger hole. Just my opinion not bashing any one.
Michael Kushneruk I understand your view. This job is dangerous and risky but we make educated judgement calls to reduce the overall risks to our firefighters and civilians who are still inside this super heated atmosphere.

Why don't I ever see a female firefighter in Stockton's videos?
Zach 507...I'm not a female but it seems like a progressive department like Stockton's should be recruiting some.
