This guy seems like a outstanding fire officer. Very mild mannered, loves his team and takes care of em! Props my man

Get a slow cooker, Captain!
You can make so many great healthy meals in a slow cooker!
Start it in the morning and let it cook all day! Pork roast, ribs, sweet and sour pork ribs! The possibilities are endless!

You know it’s a good video when a 28:00 minute video feels like it was a 5:00 minute video

"Dinners ready. Dinners ready. Come and get it" That had me rolling

Very good episode, I’m a fire fighter in Australia is amazing to see how you guys work

Fantastic episode. Thank you Captain Pickford for showing us around, and thanks Eric for bringing this episode to us. Cheers!

Quite surprised to see you guys get dispatched to a car lock-in. Especially if no animal or child is trapped. Normally over in U.K., you just send for a locksmith. Fire wouldn’t even think about turning out. Hell I once had a 600 LTR diesel spill right into a nature reserve and couldn’t even get them to turn out with spill kit.

Seems like you guys turn out to everything to assist the community. Nice to see, keep up the great work.

I'm starting my degree in fire technology august 5th, I'm so obsessed with videos like these right now. Thank you so much!

Seems like an excellent guy, very deserving of his ranking in the department.

honest, respectful, kind and very knowledgeable.

I agree with the chief, an excellent captain.

Love from Sweden

This is the best "A Day in the Life" yet. Captain Pickford appears to be a real class act.

Another fantastic video, I've jsut left the British Army and I'm trying to join the fire service over here and honestly can't think of a better career. These videos have been very interesting to watch.

You guy's are amazing and awesome 👍😎. Thank you so very much for your service to our Country as Firefighters. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding 👍💪. May God always bless you and keep you safe and healthy where ever you go

[richie]

That’s a true leader, look at the small details while the crew is getting their food he stands back and makes sure his men get theirs first before he gets his meal!

[moniquemcpherson]

Seeing this reminds me of when my dad served in his community (1981-2011) beyond the tones going off.

Thanks for sharing your day as a Captain. Work schedule of 48 on 96 off is interesting. The Department I was at was 24 on, 48 off. Your shift could be very tedious depending on call volume. Be safe brother and keep your crews safe!!!
