Thank you guys so much for taking the time to watch and share this episode.
Love the content keep up the amazing work
Ok
Michelle Khare can you do I trained like professionals gymnast or I trained like a doctor
I'm here when u graduation? I want two see u graduation.
You’re inspiring! Extremely proud of you 🖤
*at this point michelle has snatched barbie’s wig and her whole career*
Them fax
Ikr
Haha, Ikr?!
Barbie WHO?! 👏🏽👏🏽
k e b o y o t a n 😂😂
Teacher: What do you wanna be when you grow up Michelle?
Small Michelle: yes
😂😂😂😂
Nicolesca 😂😂😂😂
this comment is so old lmao
@@pp-pw8bl Nah. Barbie could never!
@@jellyfishlotusdream um barbie has already been a doctor, fire fighter, and astronaut, Barbie could and has.
watching michelle be so torn about not being able to save the victim at the end, not being able to breathe, everything being so heavy, so hot, so tiring, and so mentally taxing; it brought me to tears. her question, "why do you do this?" and the answer "we're helping people", hearing that was so emotional for me, as i'm sure it was for her too. she killed this. and giving the public insight to everything that goes on behind the scenes, it's invaluable.
That last part had me good. We always took firefighters for granted but what they do for us is unbelievable. Thanks first responders and thanks Michelle for giving us the insights of these professionals
I've always said the three careers that I'll always have immense respect for are (of no particular order) firefighter, EMT and garbage/sewer cleaner
one trained themselves to go against their survival instinct just so they'd willingly brace fire that can reaches up to a thousand degrees to save people
one trained to save and preserve people while also having the burden of transportation, time and distance from any care facility, making due with whatever they have on hand
one that do the dirty and often thankless jobs that no one else would so our living space wouldn't be filled with filth
I am only 15 and a volunteer fire fighter and it messes whith your brain and body
this, this girl will survive the apocalypse.. PERIOD
Travel to LA and find Queen Khare and the King of Cameras, Garret lol
Right?? She’s so badass
I swear at the start of the apocalypse imma find her
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤣🤣
I think she's already done with her period
High school:” what do you want to be when you’re older”
Michelle: “yes”
Why is this true though.??? 😂😂
Real life barbie
My father was a firefighter for 35 years and I'm a arson fire surviver. I grew up surrounded by these awesome men . I wouldn't be here of it wasn't for them. All my love and respect
Same ❤️
My biological father was a firefighter who passed away in 2016 while on duty, and it makes me so happy knowing that Michelle will never stop advocating for firefighters and paramedics around the world. This job means so much to millions of people and the whole world is some how affected by it.
So sorry for your loss
Your dad was hero. Never forget that ❤🫡
As a firefighter I'll say this. Yes the training is unbelievably hard. Yes the actual job is incredibly hard. But we dont get much recognition for it especially the volunteers they litterally do what these guys do but they do it with a normal job and sacrifice their free time to do this. The mental part of this is the real difficult part. Seeing dead mutilated children, losing a cpr patient, dragging people out of a burning building and so many other things. So everytime you see a firetruck or even hear a siren just say a prayer.
Im only 17 and ive been thinking of becoming a firefighter , watching this gave me a glimpse of somewhat the actual real thing . But it doesnt change my mind on wanting to be one , i just need to work more on my physical fitness . Any tips ?
Thank you for everything you do
Omg a few months ago (I’m in a small seaside town) I heard so many sirens (1fire 4 police and 2 ambulance) and me and my friends just prayed
Thank you so much for everything you do good sir/ma'am. I honestly never realised how hard of a job fire fighting was.
@@faithmauga3675 I'm in the middle of Fire academy right now. I went in with no previous experience in Fire or EMS and I will say right off the bat that it will be a lot easier if you try to get some experience first. Either as a volunteer FF or by getting your EMT card. It also can't hurt to buy some books and start reading in preparation. Academy is a very academic intensive environment and you're going to be hit with A LOT of information very quickly. If you go in having even just a little experience it will make it easier to adapt because you will have seen some of it before. If you're out of shape then you definitely need to work on that before applying. You're going to be tired as Hell just from doing the skills training, plus lack of sleep, and then adding daily PT on top of it.
But most importantly, have a good attitude. Take responsibility if you fuck up, because instructors hate hearing recruits making excuses. Accept that you're going to get yelled at even if you technically didn't do anything wrong (this is especially true in the earliest stages of academy). If you get in you're going to be working with a lot of different characters, personality types, and people from different backgrounds. Just don't be "that guy" who pisses everyone off. I'm still in academy, so I'm not a full fledged firefighter yet, but if you have any other questions specific to the academy or anything then I'd be glad to answer them.
Michelle: Goes inside a burning place
Me: Can't even kill a spider
@Naimaa s i would rather go in a burning building then approach a spider
1,000th like on this comment omg!
Why kill the spider, I like spiders when they’re at their own distance they eat other insects. They’re just great
Ikr XD
Why would you say "Michelle: Goes inside burning place" when she did it once with a whole crew of real EMS and fire personal ready to save her when real firefighters do it everyday in unpredictable conditions
That custom helmet was so sweet, my eyes were watering. The fact he took time to do it is just amazing
In Nova Scotia, Canada our rural area communities (which is the majority of the province) are protected by all VOLUNTEER firefighters! Each member is required to take the adequate training on their own time, without payment. My husband has been a firefighter & medical first responder for over 20 years!!! He is dedicated to helping his community, my hero!! ❤️
Same
That’s incredible
I live in a small village in America and it's the same here!
I thought all firefighters Volunteered-
We have paid firefighters in big towns and our one city, Halifax. All the rural areas, being most of our province, are only volunteer firefighters.
imagine how prepared she will be for the apocalypse
Nice kinda stolen comment
l Skypzz l bruh I didn’t even scroll down 🤓
Violet Mena lies
sympy Bruh why would I be lying
Got me
When that firefighter was talking about getting to the school shooting and having parents scream for their child and he started tearing up, wow, it must be so hard to keep it together in those situations 😭
It is the worst, when working bad cases you try to dissociate the humanity from the biological organism. The mothers scream binds the humanity to the organism and can be/is very painful. Having worked hundreds of deaths, the ones that haunt me the most are the ones we with screaming mothers.
B Schroedel Ret. Battalion chief/Paramedic
I was full water works at that point. It is so painful just thinking about it. Can’t even imagine what the people experiencing it go through! 😢😢
I’m must be crazy. Because I don’t understand why she was crying. I can understand crying in the money of something like that actually happening. But why cry of your just talking about it?
@@twb8612 She was feeding off his emotion, ever see a grown man cry or try to hold back tears while talking about dead children and their grieving mothers.
The STEM shooting didn't have as many causalities as expected specifically because of those that responded to the scene. My little brother texted my dad at the time the first bullet was shot, and my dad was there in 5 minutes. He said by the time he got there, there were already cops and firefighters at the scene and in the school. They saved my little brother along with so many others in that school.
I cried this entire episode. I have so much respect for first responders. It takes incredible people do have the strenght to do their job.
Drowning, and throwing up are my 2 WORST fears and when she was talking about the sweatshirt i was just like: i cant breathe!!
michelle: “DonT loOk At mE liKe tHat”
all of us: “you amaze me.”
savannah grace LMAO I LOVE THIS. but seriously she’s amazing
Only real ones know where this is from
Jada Hoffman i have NO clue how she does it.
😂😂😂😂
she really does amaze me like damn
Not gonna lie she is kinda like the real life Barbie. But what makes her even better is that she has flaws. She inspires me so much. I want to be like you when I grow up Michelle Khare.
We need a Michelle doll line! I would totally by my daughter challenge accepted dolls!
Me too.
Nora Gray
Yeah! Michelle is so inspiring!
@@SuperGirl20023 she's taught us about the cons and pros of things we do when were older, she's one of the most inspiring people I've ever heard of
She is definitely who I want to be when I grow up also. She is so inspirational and amazing!
As an Australian, I am so amazed how firefighters can just push through any challenge and even make sacrifices for others. 😢
True bro
Same I’m am aus

Don’t worry guys I paused it so that she can have a break
Quick Silver Oh thank you she needed it.
catdragon63 yeah she did
What a legend
Out here doing the lord's work
😂😂😂😂
I did the job for 27 years. At 60 years old when I retired I injured myself in recruit class never said anything. I needed total joint replacement in a shoulder. Went thru my whole career with pain had the surgery after retirement. I was electrocuted 2 times in my career. Loved the job.
the first thing she said: "look at this fire station! it's so cute!" oh honey...
Ooof
"I trained like a private investigator for a week" should DEFINITELY be a thing. Oh! and "I train like a contortionist"
She'll be like Sherlock Holmes!
Yes I agree!!!
As some with my private investigator license .. it wouldn’t be fun. You take a quiz, if you pass you get your license although I do have a degree in criminology lol
Ikr 😂
@@taylornicole7845 wait fr? It cant be that simple right? There should be some special training
From a retired firefighter! You did GREAT thank you for learning and understanding what me and my fellow brothers and sisters deal with! Stay blessed
I work EMS in a volunteer fire department right now. I'm too young to start fire 1 training yet but I literally can't wait. Fire fighting, EMS, and rescue operations is so fun and it's such a tight community to be a part of, it's almost like you're family. This video was so great to see, it gets the excitement and adrenaline up so high, I love it. The fire station you got to work in was actually really nice too, the ladder truck was super cool, they call those quints because it also has the ability to pump as well as have a ladder on top. My company has been talking about getting a new quint in the near future, I can't wait for that. This was a great video, God bless all of our fire fighter brothers and sisters out there. WOOOOOOO.
When he said all he could hear is mom's screaming for their kids, that made me start crying as a mom.
Maria Cordova same
i'm not a parent and that made me tear up
I think that would push me even more to get to those fucking kids no way.
I get uncomfortable when my baby cries because she's gassy I can't imagine being in a situation where I don't know if my child is alive or dead
I'm literally tearing up then came to the comments to see if anyone else was...
You should try fbi Academy
:) hehehehe
OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
WE GETTING FBI MICHELLEEEEEEE
Alex Parish who?
YES
Yay!
My dad was a firefighter during the Australian fires during 2019 and it was horrifying experience.
It's hard to grasp how truly brave these heroes are.
❤
I am a Greek, and we got wildfires every year. The firefighters are doing a great job handling the fires and saving the lives of countless people. Like in Rhodes and Corfu this year, they saved many people and evacuated parts of the islands and giving them a home to stay
Other children: “I wanna be a ballerina”
“I wanna be a police”
“I wanna be in the army”
“I wanna be a firefighter”
“I want to be a dancer”
Mitchell: “ *WHY NOT EVERYTHING?*”
I don’t Care :Her name is Michelle.
Agahha Mitchell😂
I don’t Care the weird thing is i am a ballet dancer
Ksenia Dostanic and I’m a hip hop dancer (:
when i grow up i wanna be michelle, and im 19
Well now we need a "training like a paramedic" or "training like a nurse"
yeah!
Paramedic!! Hell yeah!
Yesssss
Please DO THIS!!!
I would love to see her ride along in an ambulance
As someone who has gone through a house fire, I am very grateful that nobody was hurt and I’m thankful for the firefighters who managed to save our home which we moved out of but people are still living there.
My 5th grade teacher was a firefighter, an EMT, and was a foster parent. She was also teaching rowdy 5th graders 5 days a week. I have no clue how she did it but she did, never used to understand how amazing she truly was
"but... i didn't save him."
that killed me
when was this? i watched it but i think i missed this moment :(
@@a_rats_tiddies 32:42
@@a-chaile3072 thank you so much!
Imagine if it was a real person... I would probably have PTSD after that ( if it was a real situation).

My dad fought in the 2019 to 2020 fires and I had to hope for the best that he made it out alive Michelle thank you for asking people the donate my dad would be so happy with you
I just so happen to have stumbled upon this video and decided to give it a watch... Hearing Captain Crews recount the Twisp fire brought back some memories. I have been a Volly for almost 9 years and I remember hearing about that burnover the same day and getting the details of those young men that were lost and the one survivor that was critically burned. Its tough.
my uncle went through the fire academy and i showed him this video. his response was,
"finally, someone else understands the pain"
@Dev King yeah but he probably didnt know it would be that hard
Dev King Hardship is hardship. It’s a matter of understanding and empathy, he knew what he signed up for and what he got into. Advance your interpersonal skills and dig deep for understanding, maybe you’ll find it.
@Dev King can you stop being rude?!!! He just wanted to help people
@Dev King he wasn't complaining, he was just acknowledging that he was grateful that someone else was able to see and appreciate the harsh reality of what these responders do on a daily basis. Thank you for your input, but i didn't ask for it. :)
Meaza Zere you don’t go into situations like this without being educated.
The fact that the guy who makes the helmet shields, went out of his way and made one SPECIFICALLY for her. Has to be the most amazing thing and she will cherish that forever
CheeseWeasel77 🤔
Simp
She did so hard and she succeeded like she is showing you can do anything if you believe you can do it
My father actually used to be a firefighter. He still has a tattoo from when he was in it, I don’t remember what the tattoo is though. He quit that job (not sure why) and now he’s a paramedic. And my mom is a nurse, they both have saved lives. ❤
I actually started to tear up because I didn’t know THIS is what firefighters actually have to do...
watch chicago fire!
@@itzsusanx3 oh yes
The modern fire service is very different from the days of old. Gone are the days of the fire suppression only model. The modern fire service has evolved into an all risk mitigation agency. The modern fire service contains a risk until mitigation or until it can be safely passed to another agency for resolution. Most of the work is done with very little public knowledge or fanfare. Modern firefighters are well educated, well trained and very compassionate. They do not talk, they do.
B. Schroedel Ret. Battalion Chief/paramedics
So true.

I’m still seeking to be a firemen going trough EMT school first
i love how at 31:30 he talks to her like a real life situation when she freaks out
michelle as always makes me cry. she takes these videos so seriously, her content is the most important and interesting things to watch on youtube. every episode i watch i think i could do that michelle inspires me with every video and i cry bc i’m just so proud of her, she’s come so far and i aspire to be amazing like her. kind, elegant, respectful and a damn boss. she’s my hero honoring all of the other heros
As a firefighter that just went through the academy this video brought back a lot of memories
Why is no one acknowledging the fact that this badass woman singlehandedly has completed a crap ton of insane challenges all while making these amazing videos for FREE and still doesn’t have at LEAST 10 million subscribers?!
Kaitlyn S I meant it’s free for us to see lmao plus why does that matter? I’m referring to the fact that the TH-cam algorithm supports videos of slime more than videos like Michelle’s which have much more time and effort built into them. Ps i do watch Graham Stephen
@@kaitlyns1929 ok lol
She is making money from them. And also this wouldn’t be worth paying money to watch her constantly ask the same cliche questions. “It was so real” “Why do you do this?” “This is no joke”.
@@poopfart65 tf i had a stroke reading ur comment, at least use proper grammar lmao
because men and women are equal so there's no point in mentioning her gender lol.
I’ve mad respect for Michelle. She’s a true icon. Honestly, this is the kind of content I want on TH-cam.
The kind of person that kids these days, should look up to!
@@Madamegalaxiatarot My thoughts exactly and my comment just before I read yours.
YES
I agree you !
Me too
as an Australian, that is true there are lots of bushfires I had to exactuate because one was right next to my house, yes me and my family are ok. but one of my dad's friends is a firefighter and lost his life and thank you to all firefighters.
Wow no way
If I could like this video twice, I would. I cried at the end, and I really just want to say kudos for really highlighting what it is these men and women do in such an inspirational and respectful manner.
The cpr alone while transporting a patient to the nearest hospital will reck you alone. And then realizing you still have 22 hours left on your shift.
Right! Like um... 🤷🏾♀️
Where my brother in law works as a firefighter, his shifts are 10 or 12 hours. Could be longer if they’re at a call
@@LivvyAlexW Damn he better be getting paid good money for that I mean REALLY good money
Roshad Omar it’s enough to support his family. My sister and him have 4 kids and they’re more than comfortable.
Much respect to firefighters. They have no weapons, yet they're real heroes!
so true. i knew that this is a hard job but not THIS hard. it makes you apreciate them even more.
Cops still deserve respect, but yes firefighters are still awesome
My dad is a firefighter
Their weapon is their mind, it’s what helps them survive, and it saves others lives
Bobby Armenta nah
When Michelle teared up after hearing about the mothers crying for their child at the school shooting. It goes to show that she has a heart an that she's human.
Im currently a volunteer firefighter looking to join a paid department in the next couple of years, I love being a volunteer its awesome helping the community and its also nice to see people going through the training and situations that we train for
You've gotta do something medical now: EMT, Er Nurse, etc.
Complete the trifecta of rescuers!
medical stuff works with real lifes...so i think she could only do it with fake humans
What about therapy. Kinda rescuer.
She could probably do Clinicals. Maybe.
She should collab with Dr. Mike if she does decide to try something medical
She could shadow, but not participate. You have to be a student or licensed practitioner to help with patient care. She could practice some skills in an educational setting, but it wouldn't make for a fun video. She should definitely work on her chest compression technique though. ;)
My soft ass can’t even put cookies in the oven without having a heart attack from the heat😂😂😂
TeEra Richards same

Omgggggg same 😂😂😂

I remember firefighters came to help paramedics when I was medically transported in college. The paramedics had some of them help for a circle around me because of my condition it was deemed not a good idea to transport me by bed. Anyways I am fine now. I can't thank all the people who woke around 4am to help me without a second thought. I can't thank all the first responders enough for helping me and whenever I see them around the campus I say thank you. ❤
This video has been a major source of inspiration for me. I first watched it back in grade 10 and it ignited a passion within me to become a firefighter. Now in grade 12, I've had the opportunity to learn the basics and even experience a quarter of their training during an immersion program, since I was assigned at one of the fire sub station of our city. I'm grateful for the insight the video provided, and I'm still hopeful that one day I'll be able to fulfill my dream. Thank you Michelle Khare for making this video!!!
Ok Michelle I think it would be cool for you to train for a emt. You did police and firefighter now emt would be the next thing.
🙂
When she puts a heart on a comment, you know it means something. She actually hearted a comment saying she should do a firefighter one, and it happened so 🤷🏽♀️
Well I mean being an EMT is basically the next step. The EMTs tend to work hand in hand with the fire crew. So I wouldn’t be surprised if she went from this the EMT.
EMTs & Paramedics work with the fire crew and train with them so it wouldn’t be much different
Jenny Cisneros it wouldn’t be extremely different but it would have some differences.
Let’s start a petition for her to get her own Netflix series
Yaassss
Great idea!
Yes!!
I agree!!!
she's to good for netflix
My brother is currently training to become a firefighter and I would be lying if I said I didn't cry while watching this. This video opened my eyes even more seeing how tough his job is going to be both physically and mentally. I'm feeling sad but proud knowing he's going to be helping and saving so many lives.
I am appreciate your commitment to training to be firefighter and understanding the how important to save the property and life . I have admire the emergency service that help many people.

Kala Kings no she’s doing a hot challenge
Kala Kings yup ur right 😁
This video made me realize that firefighters are worth so much and deserve so much for risking they’re lives to help mine or yours watching the training they go through, the 14 degrees swimming training and lastly the one with the REAL fire, we as people should THANK them for RISKING they’re lives to try to save mine your even yours. ❤
This, I swear, was the hardest challenge Michelle has had to do mentally and maybe physically. The emotional and mental toll such situations must take is immense. Thank you for shedding light on this, and being real all the time.
When he said “we had our operations chief step down because of cancer” at 33:10 that was depressing because I realize that this was filmed before the death of Chief Jackson. RIP
I live there and I am trying to figure out when this was filmed based on all thst snow. I think it was the storm in late october or late November.
@@audreymaddox6386 what happened to the chief if you dont mind me asking?
@@Leprechaun-qv6mo he passed
He was my godfather and a great man. None of us were ready to lose him but he lived life fully and happily saw his son married and daughter graduate into the police academy before he passed. Never imagined the impact he had on so many people and it's been heartwarming to know how much he meant to Colorado
Thank you so much for sharing that ♥️
Barbie who?
Don’t we all agree that Michelle has earned that crown
Suhani Jain yea also Michelle is not shaming kids to have the perfect body 😁
At least a dozen or so times
I had no idea it was like this. Ive always wondered what the deal was when Fire Fighters always show up, even if there's no fire. This was eye opening.
My uncle is chief firefighter, and has been a firefighter for as long as I can remember, as well as a EMT, the things he has seen and gone through i could not even imagine. It has definitely worn him down so much, the respect and appreciation I have for him and his services as a firefighter is unmeasurable. He is truly a hero. The stuff they go through is so unbelieveably scary and heartbreaking. It has worn and damaged him in more ways then one. But he is so strong. Thank you for showing this. I remember growing up having family dinners, my uncle would have his radio with him and he would always have to leave early because of a call that would come through, so he missed out on so much with us kids. But i will never and don't hate him for it because I knew he is leaving our family to go help and rescue someone elses.
Thank you.
I feel like she is being slept on . This is what the world needs to see more of .
gina astudillo I 100% agree!!!! Dude this opened my eyes like so hard. I had no idea that this is what firefighting looked like. I think a lot of people should see this. These people are like super humans lol. They do so sooooo much more than I ever thought. It was a really good eye opener.

in only 13 LOL
Since I live in Australia, we get bush fires quite a lot in summers and they are absolutely devastating. Firefighters are literally our knights in shining armour
well if youtube doesn’t work out, she can literally do everything, she is already trained
😂hard flex
😂hard flex
no she got a 1 week crash course, firefighter academy is 16 weeks long, in every vid she does less than 1 week, it doesn't qualify her at all, but it still is pretty cool and the challenges arent easy.
Agreed Patriot. Also the academy teaches you just enough so you don't die in your first real fire. The real training starts after you graduate and you get to your first fire station.
Omg true
The moment she asked "Why do you do it" and his answer made me tear up so much. This video made me have huge respect for firefighters
Aria Galvez some of us don’t even do it for money. We do it because we think our communities and society is worth saving. It’s almost our calling. It’s in our blood. We love helping people and we love the adrenaline rush as well. Not ever about the money. In my department, nobody is paid for being a member there. We all know the struggles. Those of us who have stuck to it know it’s our destiny. We also depend on the community as well. We have all sorts of fundraisers during the year. We just had our pancake breakfast 2 weeks ago. We have a fair as well. Our head chief is a retired firefighter from Ithaca NY. He had prostate cancer and beat it. If we die in the line of duty, we know we did it in an effort to save lives. We put others before ourselves. There’s a unique calling we all know and that’s what drives us to help people.
I this she so sweet and always so thoughtful about people’s feelings around her. She seems like a great friend to have ❤️
Just found this channel and Michelle yesterday and been watching videos and wow, they are intense. A couple, including this one, even make my teary. I can only handle watching a few at a time but I'm enjoying them so much! Thank you!
When I see this and know that firefighters in some cities are paid minimum wage, I realize how insane that is. The job is so very important.
Where I live (a small town in Germany) they're doing it as a "side-job" and don't get paid at all
In my country is only a volunteering job, which is so unfair for everything that they do for people
@@evelynvidal3022 same in mine!
@@leocelcelina8211 Yeah they have a lot volunteer firemen in the US too. I used to work with one. He worked almost full time and then he did firefighting on the side. They really are heroes.

The emotional weight of this job is astonishing. They are such incredible hard working people. Thank you so much for this video and sharing how much our firefighters sacrifice in emotional and physical comfort for their peers and community. I live in California I’m so glad we have such a great group of firefighters across the world keeping people safe.
Firefighters and police officer and other people who help the world to be safe, and helping others deserve better than now

The saddest part is that they do an extremely hard job but still don’t get payed as much as they should and don’t get the attention they deserve, if they have a family there spouse is still gonna have to work on top of there life'srisking job

well kudos to your dad for helping my country
Youre so brave Michelle! We all look up to you!!❤️
My dad just retired after 30 years in the service! He was captain for 7 years & was stationed at the busiest house in the city.
This gave me an even greater respect & awe for the kinds of things he had to endure on a regular. He didn't talk to us about it much, just a few funny stories here & there, sometimes sadder stories like drug overdoses.
So I truly, truly appreciated this episode, Michelle. Thank you to all involved.
God bless & keep all you amazing firefighters! My dad once said, "We're not heroes. We're just doing our job like anybody else."
Well, yall are heroes to ME. THANK YOU, for always running TO the danger when everything in human instinct tells you to run away. You are deeply appreciated.
Love yall! ♥️ ❤️🔥🫶🏽🚒
The part in the beginning in the pool when she had to put her hoodie on and she couldn’t get her head through if that was me I would’ve had a full-blown panic attack😭🤚
It gave me a panic attack watching it 😂
@@DubstepCity7 like actually or did you just get scared?
@@LilithLorenz I got a panic attack watching it I freaked out 😂
@@DubstepCity7 No like an actual panic attack or did you just get scared
@@DubstepCity7 just feeling bad doesnt mean you had a panic attack, i guess thats why he/she is asking.. Panic attacks are really serious..
As a a female in the first responder world, this puts a huge smile on my face. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you for your services!
THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
You save lifes along with the firefighter people! Thank you for your services ❤😊
Applying for fire academy in the spring of 2023! I’ll come back and update if I get in!
Good luck mate!
This woman could literally be anything! She's trained with so many things already.
Teacher: What do you want to do when you grow up?
Michelle: Yes.
This is the best thing I've seen
This is a copied comment that’s not cool but my. Opinion don’t come for me please😖
Jeiden Ramos it’s an internet meme so it’s probably been stolen multiple amount of times.
STOLEN COMMENT. Dont steal other people's comments it's not cool smhhhh
Raging Royal preach brother
Did anyone else have a panic attack when she couldn’t get the sweatshirt on??
She started saying that part and I felt my blood leave my head. I almost wanted to jump into the screen and help her
I was panicking she wouldn't be able to breathe!!!
I couldn’t breathe either.
when I went tubing at the lake last summer the tube flipped on my head and was too heavy to get off, especially in 30+ ft deep water. I was probably only underwater for about 10 seconds but it was scary as shit. felt that same panic just now
I felt claustrophobic just watching that
This video made me tear up… I can’t imagine what they have to go through and they don’t even get a moments peace to really process. They just do.
Michelle- I'm a total skill collector and you doing these trainings is my dream job. Good for you girl, you're amazing! I love seeing you try so many challenging things, very inspiring.
Michelle, crying for those men cause they want to stay strong even if they're sad (I hope the mental health department is as good as they say it is)
Well sometimes you get a bad fire and you see a burned childs bedroom and it fucks you up, im only a junior firefighter but when i turn 17 and join as a member you have to understand the risks
Pvris Suicide I’m some areas it’s really lacking, suicide among firefighters is a huge problem. They need more resources and a willingness to accept help:
@@JJ-bi5qx Make sure you can work through it. Find help, clergy, family. Do not let it eat you alive. You are a special breed as a firefighter. Welcome to the family of firefighters. The burned room is not as bad as working the child that was trapped in there and parts are missing. Me, 7 week old 100% 3rd degree charred. Still I did CPR. It is hard to give up hope.
@@bubbajeph thanks man also damn, thats hard to process and its amazing you still tried cpr. Props to you for trying your very best
And women
Firefighters are such underrated. At least in my country, they don't even receive a good salary or they work voluntarily. We should appreciate these people more, they risk their lives for us.
where do we live? We have both, paid and volunteer Firefighters
Thank you Sofia! I'm a Volunteer Firefighter in germany. And some people think we are Just drinking Beer. Thank you for appreciating our Work we do in our freetime!
Fire Fighter should be salary... I hope your country can appreciate EMS and Firefighter more.
my uncle is a special forces firefighter for our base out here. never knew what he had to do to get there. respect for him even more now :,)
Same in my country Brunei
So thankful for your videos like this and this is amazing seeing your experiences as someone from the outside and understanding the sacrifices 1st responders go through. ❤
Wow!! That was incredible. Such an intense training. You are amazing at bringing us into what you went though. Plus your vulnerability really is incredible. It hit me in my feels and got me emotional. Thank you for accepting that challenge and bringing us along for the ride!
The most underrated TH-camr ever. Thank you for allowing us to see the truth. You’re great.
thank you for watching!! tell your friends!! hahaha
@@undiiscoverableisaac you fucking creep go fuck yourself
I was crying like a baby the whole time. Just knowing there are people out there going through such hard training and risking their lives for someone they don't know... Idk, is too much to handle for me. They're truly heroes I can't even explain how proud I am for having people doing this. Thank you for showing us that. It really gives me hope for humanity.
Yossiree López thank you. We deserve so much more recognition then what we get. It’s not easy to do this job. Once you have tried this job it gives you a new respect for us. Thank you for your support.
Supernatural?
