WEBVTT 00:19.200 --> 00:22.780 What pre 00:25.969 --> 00:28.549 yeah , I'll tell you as a fire chief , 00:28.559 --> 00:31.329 II , I have two overarching jobs . One 00:31.340 --> 00:33.173 is to provide emergency services 00:33.173 --> 00:35.340 delivered to the community . Make sure 00:35.340 --> 00:37.451 we keep everybody safe . Whether it's 00:37.451 --> 00:39.396 the child that's at the elementary 00:39.396 --> 00:41.451 school , whether it's a pilot that's 00:41.451 --> 00:43.507 flying an aircraft , uh whether it's 00:43.507 --> 00:45.618 the basic trainee that's here to , to 00:45.618 --> 00:47.729 become a future airman . Um Our , our 00:47.729 --> 00:50.509 job is to take care of those members . 00:54.549 --> 00:56.660 Uh We do have some training scheduled 00:56.660 --> 00:58.771 today . Uh The G one , we're gonna go 00:58.771 --> 01:00.938 over the air pack if possible and then 01:00.938 --> 01:00.830 we have some CPR training , we can get 01:00.840 --> 01:01.896 that knocked out . 01:28.239 --> 01:30.406 Um So like I said , this , this job uh 01:30.406 --> 01:32.870 advances every day , every week , every 01:32.879 --> 01:35.101 month , every year . Um There's so many 01:35.101 --> 01:36.879 different techniques . Uh Every 01:36.879 --> 01:38.823 department is different , they use 01:38.823 --> 01:40.935 different techniques . So us to train 01:40.935 --> 01:42.935 on some of those techniques that we 01:42.935 --> 01:45.101 could bring to our department helps us 01:45.101 --> 01:47.157 in the long run and vice versa . You 01:47.157 --> 01:49.490 know , things that people may see us do , 01:49.490 --> 01:51.601 they probably use elsewhere as well . 01:51.601 --> 01:53.823 So you have P SI or your minutes left , 01:53.823 --> 01:55.990 whichever one you want , whatever your 01:55.990 --> 01:58.212 preference is . So we took a multilevel 01:58.212 --> 02:00.379 approach , we covered the shoulder and 02:00.379 --> 02:02.546 cylinder straps with an enhanced retro 02:02.546 --> 02:03.768 reflective material , 02:07.069 --> 02:09.710 but I'm not sure how they put those in . 02:09.720 --> 02:11.831 If it's just the adjustable , you can 02:11.831 --> 02:14.229 raise it and lower it if you have 02:14.419 --> 02:16.530 issues . Obviously , uh , training is 02:16.530 --> 02:18.697 just nonstop . It's never ending , you 02:18.697 --> 02:20.919 know , it's just a uh progressive field 02:20.919 --> 02:22.919 to be in . Um , as time goes on , I 02:22.919 --> 02:25.086 start at 17 , um , been in quite a few 02:25.086 --> 02:27.308 years now and just a lot's changed over 02:27.308 --> 02:29.530 the years . Uh a lot of advancements in 02:29.530 --> 02:31.586 technology the way we do things . Um 02:31.586 --> 02:34.470 Just , it's just a never ending thing 02:34.479 --> 02:36.535 that you have to see on top of , you 02:36.535 --> 02:38.312 know , it's constant training , 02:38.312 --> 02:40.257 constant refresher , uh refreshing 02:40.257 --> 02:42.312 yourself with , with new ideas , new 02:42.312 --> 02:41.869 techniques , new tactics , you know , 02:41.880 --> 02:44.047 and then just being on top of the game 02:44.047 --> 02:46.460 100% . So , yeah , 03:04.000 --> 03:05.000 great stuff 03:08.490 --> 03:10.610 ultimately is hard . 03:15.410 --> 03:17.460 Our specialty is aircraft rescue , 03:17.470 --> 03:20.449 firefighting . Our , our job is to make 03:20.460 --> 03:22.759 access into the aircraft , uh shut down 03:22.770 --> 03:25.460 the engines if necessary , get to the 03:25.470 --> 03:27.137 pilot , get them out safely . 03:53.169 --> 03:55.169 You're in joint base San Antonio uh 03:55.169 --> 03:57.058 with the basic trainees , all the 03:57.058 --> 03:59.113 visits we have coming in where the , 03:59.113 --> 04:01.113 you know , we're , we're being seen 04:01.113 --> 04:00.660 everywhere where we're out , you know , 04:00.669 --> 04:02.613 where we're at , whether it's on a 04:02.613 --> 04:04.613 medical response on an emergency or 04:04.613 --> 04:06.502 just being out in the public fire 04:06.502 --> 04:05.949 prevention week , community events , 04:05.960 --> 04:08.190 stuff like that .

So trying to , you know , 04:14.921 --> 04:14.850 portray that , that good image to them 04:14.860 --> 04:16.916 too and be a positive role model for 04:16.916 --> 04:19.027 them and hopefully inspire them to do 04:19.027 --> 04:21.193 something as , as they get older , you 04:21.193 --> 04:21.079 know , maybe injure the career for 04:21.109 --> 04:23.339 itself and , and go from there 05:13.410 --> 05:15.450 to me , a team cohesion camaraderie 05:15.459 --> 05:18.269 means everything . Um myself personally 05:18.279 --> 05:20.390 speaking , I couldn't be where I'm at 05:20.390 --> 05:22.557 or who I am or do what I do without my 05:22.557 --> 05:24.723 team . Um to me , my team's number one 05:24.723 --> 05:26.890 and they always come first .
