Engineer Gettman does an excellent job explaining how she makes sure the engine is ready for her crew. So good to see someone who cares for her engine and her crew! Fantastic advice on selling yourself at your interviews to get to where you want to be!

you go girl, I spent 20 years as an Advanced life support Paramedic, then I got into fire service as a volunteer, I know how long it took me to be proficient with all those skills, not only firefighting but pump operator, driver, now at 46 I am the chief in my department and we do over 200 calls a year, if you love it, there is always something new to learn, much respect from a fellow medic and firefighter

I can’t believe how good Marisa Gettman is at her job. Honestly for her being an engineer I love it for her she seems like it was the right fit for her. Great job Marisa your doin great at your job. ❤

"Find out how you can make yourself better" 🧡 That is the most important sentence in a person's life 😊

true role model for young firefighters.

I am a firefighter who has worked in Korea for 21 years. Currently, I am driving a fire pump car, an ambulance, and an ambulance. In Korea, I think that the development of specialized fields is more important than recognition of various careers. In the field, we know that extensive experience is important for more active and effective work. Always be careful with your safety! God will be with you!

What a bad ass woman.. Keep up the good work, and thank you for your service!

The first thing that caught my eye was Marissa’a arm definition. And how insightful the workouts are. I am currently working out myself, and getting ready for my next fire season (been doing it for two years, going on 3) I recently got accepted to work for the Forest Service out in Washington State. So I am trying to get a different perspective on how to stay in shape without gassing out so much.

Such a great group of smart, professional and amazing people on this channel! Stay safe and thanks for all you do from NH!

I knew a dude that was an engineneer in the city. I was a county ff. I rode on his crew once in a while. An old fart pulled in front of us in a busy intersection and sat there. Siren on, lights and full airhorn in his open window for about one minute and he finally got the idea and moved out into the intersection and we went through. Lol we laughed so hard, good times. Engineers are really detailed and very professional. You only get that position when you are the best ff. Its an honor to get that promotion. Awesome ff lady right here. She is strong and proud and has every right to be. Thank you to my fellow brotherhood for your commitment on this tough and awesome job!

Excellent, that I can do this work that I admire for many, many years. A hug to you all, are the votes of this Portuguese volunteer firefighter.

“I want to go on a diet, but I have too much on my plate”........😆

Still one of my favorite episodes I've watched ot more than a couple times.she explains everything about her job very well and is a great at what she does

As someone who documents his journey going into the fire service I really enjoy these videos thanks for sharing

There are no people anywhere that have my respect more than the US Military AND Firefighters. What I would give to turn my clock back 51 years and redo my path. I did my 4+ years in the Navy but went astray at 22 when I could have at least tried to follow a career path differently. This video proves dreams can be had. You are an American Hero, in my eyes.

since my dad is a Battalion chief, I have always thought firefighting was interesting. After doing a ride along with him, I just got even more hooked

Awesome PIO, awesome engineer and awesome videos! You are doing the fire service proud!

I've been watching some of your videos (SMFRS) has produced. What has caught my attention are the similarities in your organizations structure, tactics and daily operations. This video was great and right on point with the solid advice on preparation for the oral interview. ++++ Thanks again

Please keep the "A day in the life" episodes coming! Any unedited ( or as much as possible) videos of running calls is good stuff. And that's coming from a cop!

One of the nices engines I’ve ever seen! Beautiful. What an awesome department!

i love this channel, really good insight into what the daily lives of firefighters really looks like, thank you for this channel!

LOVE the pump panel design. Wicked uniform layout.

Thanks for your service. You are a true inspiration. Very impressed on your knowledge and dedication. Be safe.

Im blown away by this department. I hope you guys realize how blessed you are.We ride 2 to an engine. You set the pump, make entry, and hope someone else shows up.

Would love to see a video detailing the physical fitness and health programs that the department offers. Seems like South Metro has that really dialed in.

Can’t wait for a Batt. Chief of any chief day in the life

Thank you for your services and professionalism from New Zealand ✌️

Love this video, she is amazing, hoping to become a firefighter/paramedic one day. Also love the music in the middle and end of the video.

Marissa, doing a great job! Keep going!! Personally learned an important lesson many years ago. Had guys on a ladder, giving them 3 or 4 Bar. From the tank. All fine. Then connected to a hydrant straight into the eye of the pump. When they opened it up sent a minimum 10 Bar through the hose . Burst the line, fortunately, no one got hurt. (Did not realise we happened to be close to the local pumping station). I felt like shit, that I'd let my team down. Afterwards I always put incoming water into the tank inlet. That way you have control. Stay safe in these troubled times🚒🚒

I don’t even know where this is Lol. I’m a New Yorker and I am loving these vids!

Loved her comments at the end. Props to South Metro Fire Rescue for making such informative videos.

Thanks Marissa. Fun video to watch. The advise at the ending was great! I was watching your head movements while driving. There's SO much more that engineers do that could be pointed out while driving, especially emergent. Stay safe! T. Adams Engineer at SFE, Summit County, CO.

My father is a retired firefighter in Italy... Your rig and house is very impressive... Cool stuff...

Love the video! Super awesome, can't wait for more like these!!!!

Love these types of videos, great job!

I was a former firefighter and a hotshot for the bureau of forestry. I now design fire and rescue trucks for a living. She has an awesome job and does it well. Watching this makes me miss my old job, but just physically unable to do it anymore. Like law enforcement its more than a paycheck, you have to want it. SMFR rocks!

I enjoy watching your Videos because it brings back memories when I was a volunteer and I can't believe how things have changed since I was a volunteer fireman.

Well both my parents are firefighters and seeing them saving lifes every single day makes me want to be one of them, not only them but when I see a fire or whatever and people running out to save their lifes while firefighters runs to the building trying to save others. I am so thankful for them

I love these episodes keep them going

She is an incredible role model, I strive to do the best I can when I am engineer at fire practice, I’m at a volunteer hall.

Another brilliant video! Keep 'em coming!

I’m 360th meaning i am the number of degrees in angles and heat It’s great seeing a female in the fire service keep up the amazing work

day in the life’s are so awesome !!!

Love these! Can’t wait for the lieutenant video!

These are all so amazing

Great video as always guys! One thing I'd love to see is a comprehensive look at your medical kits on your rigs, especially suppression apparatus over ambulance.

Just come across your videos, very informative, stay safe folks, and massive respects from the UK

Great video currently learning how to transition into an engineer for the fire department i serve on this video is very helpful thank you.

This video is so awesome. I´m doing volunteer firefighting in Germany and it´s baffling to see all the similarities but also the huge differences. I can only agree that you should never give up with applying for the job of a firefighter if you want to do so, although I haven´t had my try yet because I need to finish school first ^^

Love this series, very different in some respects to Australian firefighters and amazing to watch. Thank you

ALL THE BEST, South Metro Fire Rescue-Centennial, Colorado...Marissa Gettman is really getting a great job done.

The ending was everything to me 🙏🏾 thank you

look at this strong Woman! Thank you for your Service :).

I’ve always been apprehensive about making the leap to go to the fire academy this helped sell it finally

Excellent advice for the interview process, selling yourself. Obviously, there is more than just driving, a lot more hands on performing various tasks, even though she is hypervigilant while responding at emergencies. Marissa is a good role model for others who want to perform such an important service. I trust you are still preforming your job with excellence.

she's got a great attitude and a great work ethic if I was ever in the fire service I'd be more than happy to work with her and that group, keep on grinding hard marissa you're doing very well.

I love your guys videos it aided in my decision in deciding to stride to become a firefighter paramedic. Frankly I want to become a member at SM once I finish my training, i hope and look forward to it. Best of luck to you guys and have a safe year!

We need a lot more of these kind of videos

great video and a fantastic ending! Keep it coming!

good day! Take a job! my experience as a firefighter is 16 years! with respect from Russia

25 years in sister. No truer words have been spoken!

This woman is amazing great to see how you handle your job and take pride in it yourself thanks for your service

You do an awesome job and I'm not afraid to say your built better than i am ( better shape) keep up the good work first responders are the backbone of this country ✌️✌️

I was the first female in my agriculture shop class in 1974. The teacher wouldn't let me use power tools to complete my project. When I see these bad ass, thoroughly competent gals doing these jobs, I know I helped blaze the path for them. You ROCK!

She’s got some amazing arms 💪🏾

Men: Women take so long to get ready Women Firefighters: Am I a joke to you?

Looked like a steady shift! Great video

Really interesting video! That vehicle is really amazing.

Awesome information at the end

As we get into the wildland / wildland interface season it would be great to follow a crew for a 24 hour period. How they work on the lines but also how they recover in between shifts. Maybe even a SMFR crew on a deployment.

Great episode!!

Eric I love ur radio strap with the thin red line at the top

Great channel. Do a episode on the rescue dive team. Would be interesting to see what type of equipment, strategies and teamwork you use when diving.

Very impressive. Dedicated and loves the job!

Thank you thank you for all your hard work 🚒🚒🚒

44 dudes with smaller arms than her disliked this video

LEARN HOW TO SELL YOURSELF. Awesome advice 👏.

Engine Driver Operator= Physicist/Mathematician Truck Driver Operator= “Aye where’s thats collapse zone Lt??”

That is torally amazing! It looks like you're a fire fighter, paramedic, and engineer. I was 2 out of those 3....I never got the paramedic rating.

What a fantastic series! I would love to do some ride-a-longs and attend the Citizen's Academy.

Last 3 minutes where she talks about how she got the job, was so helpful.

Hey guys! I love these series! Please do more!!

My Dad was a engineer for Castlewood fire department which became South Metro after he had retired

I am watching this while laying in my bed and I heard sirens so I paused the video trying to figure out if it was in the video or near me, turns out it was near me. I live 1 minute from a fire station so I hear every time they leave the station.

Great video and insight to being an engineer. Would love to see a video on SMFR S.W.A.T. Medics as far as training and what it takes to become a swat paramedic.

i was a n in Engineer for a while there main job is to make sure all the firetrucks equipment and PPE are properly working for fire calls and i loved it

Very interesting. Great job!

She truly an amazing person 💗❣️❣️

Awesome engineer Marissa, awesome fire truck, loveit.

These videos are awesome

Kudos to her for doing the video.

Good job 👍 Hi from colleagues from Sochi 🔥

Great video! Keep it up PIOs!

Respect to her!

Engineer Gettman, great job with your work and a dam pretty firefighter too BUT the most important thing . . . GREAT LEATHER SIS!!! Needs a little more heat on it but great natural leather brim bends!!!! {15:30} But seriously firefighter Gettman, your doing a great job!! And SMFR, thanks for the videos.

When she puts the gear on..... So cool! 6:03 The boots are the best!

Thanks for making this video. This is what I would like to do.

i really like the one with the guy but i still love all these videos and they will be helpful for me in the future

That Q-Siren is music to my ears!

@southmetrofire great video 👌🏾💪🏾 been looking for a video for engineer position for awhile 💯💯🔥
