Thanks for putting this out there, I’m interested to understand how fighting EV fires can be improved. The fire blankets look like a good method for containing the fire but as it’s exothermic not putting it out. Would a fire blanket with its own hose extension that comes like 30 feet off to the side and can be attached to the hose to pump water directly into the car be of use? Presumably it’d be positioned directly over the windscreen to direct the water right down on the battery.

Cell tower technician require too much safety/ education to get paid so low. I made $19 an hour as a plate mounter which is a much safer job and requires much less. Cell tower techs should be making at least $55 an hour. Screw that $17-21 an hour to start off I have lost interest in even trying.

How do they keep from scuffing up those fancy brown riding boots?

"Adventure" to the middle of nowhere. Might as well work for a commercial airline. (Not a contractor.) Generally speaking, in ten years of FT employment you'll be making $35 an hour, 401k company match, medical, dental, and vision insurance, and lifetime flight benefits. Go see something besides "Wherearewe", South Dakota.

CONGRATS JACKSON SO PROUD OF U!!!

Good Job TC!

After so many years, Let me become your first comment.

Thats not a bare bones set up mate 😂 you have shit hanging off tou everywhere! All you need is a harness woth inbuilt seat, a pile belt (adjustable work position strap) and a set of twin hooks.. Twin roping down to looks at an antenna is a gige waste of time just climb and get into position no need to over complicate it

I am cell tower technician rigger. How can I apply

Do You really need a diploma or what ?

There's a video circulating... making the rounds again on KZfaq: man makes $20,000 per climb to change a light bulb. I guess that's only for the 1500 ft tower and he's already go that job. I'd do THAT workout for THAT money twice a year. But 22/hr??? I cant afford to that pay cut.

I start my course next week. Got my fingers crossed because I need a better life

Such a pity that I never knew about such a job when I was young enough. I would just LOVE to try it!!

lol no you can think you're 100% safe but there's always a disaster factor

Congratulations All!! Good Luck and Godspeed!

LETS GO GIOOO thats my guy

Bro I was gonna say why tf didn’t he use his asap😂 thanks goes totally forgot I had it😂

I am interested in this job i have 3 years experience in telecom field

I do fancy the job. Always wanted a crack never went for it. At 60 the urge is still there, sadly the my bones disagree. We have plenty of towers here in UK so you never know? One day maybe.

Walmart pays better ..lol

Excelent 🎉🎉🎉🎉

What about wiring?

18-20 an hour?!…….that’s ridiculous

Thank you so much ❤️ much love

❤

Frankly, one should rather flip burgers at McDonald where they pay the same. These big communication industry hippos, when will they feel a bit shameful ?.

how much free climbing is done when there's no cameras?

That late 1990's Ford Taurus looks so nice, a distinctive round design. Would enjoy to own one one day. Looks like just the windshield needs replacement. On the con side, the nose of the car seems very low. This could be why dummy flew right into the windshield. Not sure since a test would need to be done on a newer car. How would a 2010/2020's car be compared to a 90s car with this type of test for the pedestrian?

I took this course last year and it changed my life. I had 12 job offers before I even graduated, and now I lead my own team for MASTEC. To this day, I can call Matt for anything highly recommended.

Hell yeah! Matt is an awesome trainer, awesome course!

Just found this talk. It has applications beyond just the fire service and military. Good content.

How long is the course ?

I love this job

18$ to 20$ an hour you can’t get buy with that little amount of money that really is horrible these guys are much needed for the job and not everyone can climb a tower they should get at least 80$ per hour your only up there a few hours not even a 8 hour day on the tower so these guys should definitely get at least 80$ to 100$ per hour… 18$ to 20 $ not worth risking your life for that little bit of money whoever pays them should feel ashamed of themselves

18 to 20 an hour is straight trash especially for the risk involved

Listen there has to be a better and safer way to climb these towers seriously.

How much is the fees.

What kind of opportunities will this job open up in other careers?

Just completed my EMR I'll be attending the EMTB in May. For anyone out there contemplating taking this course, take it from me. These instructors and the facilities are the best in the nation. There aren't enough adjectives in the English language to properly describe how amazing these women and men are! Sign up. You won't regret it.

Why cant firefighters use the former what they use on oil or what ever. Concerned person. Think outside the box. Respectfully yours.

Thought you get paid by the job

I'm so passionate about this job

I really like this instructor’s style.

I honestly don’t think a million dollars would make me comfortable to do that

As a newly appointed officer. I appreciate the points in this video. I have a lot to learn and teach. Hopefully I will become as good an officer, if not better than the ones I have the opportunity to learn from here at our station. Thank you Chief. We all appreciate this tool to build on.

You see, you take this rope, see, and you clip it on the metal things that are welded to the towers. Then you climb 400 meters into the air, and replace a lamp. Btw, the metal the clips is mede from was made in China.

Good lecture. From my view, these are things you learn by doing and having done to you. Hearing them doesn't change things. Mistakes happen. Feelings of the new job still exist. Trying to implement the goals and mission of the company doesn't change them overnight. Its the guy, just like he is saying. And the guy can't change things until he changes for the job. As he said, you aren't ready just because you busted your ass. You change from being wrong, unsuccessfully busting your ass, learning. Same with any promotion. Good lecture. Valid and truthful points. You still gotta run the gauntlet. I wish it was as easy as hearing another person say this.

Would you need to learn a lot of mechanical skills or a lot of electrical skills to be a Tower technician? Or is it a mixture of both ?

I really need to join your classes

Try Air Force PJ training.
