5 Buildings Burning - PIO Vlog

[@CobraEmergencyNorthAmerica]

The greater alarm fire is an example of one of 'those' incidents with a lot of critical factors adding onto a challenging incident. Awesome work SMFR and great video - very informative.

[@troytrotter9751]

@SouthMetroFireRescuePio Eric and Connor thank you for the shout out and I learned a lot from the vlog. You guys did a awesome job keep up the good work.

[@goodmeteorologicalmorning4754]

Thanks for all you do, SMFR PIO!!

[@FerroequinologistofColorado]

Keep up the great work keeping our communities safe. Thank you for all you do!

Ngl that fire retardant spatter on the front end of Eric's truck looks kinda cool! Y'all should make that a graphic design for the pio vehicles so resemble fire being put out

[@DrCanadianGamer]

That would be cool.

[@joelwingate7994]

I agree I would probably have left it. lol

[@wbuttry1]

When I was working a couple depts we found it beneficial to take our brush truck and go around to a bunch of different high vegetation and places that was a major hazard and do control burns to minimize the fire danger. We would work with the farmers and help conservation depts in our area.

[@sea_1774]

Please do a fleet Friday on Decon 10 Red 3 or One of the collapse units.

[@chrisbgaming5079]

They did do fleet fridays of red 3 and they also did a fleet friday on rescue 34 that responses to MVA into a structure just look for south Metro fire rescue fleet fridays videos and all the fleet friday video will be their on youtube

[@cmcer1995]

Another great video of South Metro at work. That was a very busy time period with all the drought conditions. I hope more people watch these video because maybe people will become more aware of the many different kinds of fire hazards there are out there and will be more cautious in dealing with anything flammable. It sure doesn't take much to lose your home to fire and hopefully these will help decrease the number of tragedies.

[@newwomyn]

Thank you so much for your dedicated service not only to your communities and state, but to our nation. KUDOS, and a job well done.

[@cjkokay]

Great to catch the vid today. I caught the start this morning and had a fire call to goto myself and then after station return, while doing truck maintenance and paperwork after action report, another pager came in. So that was a quick response for our station (2 rural trucks).

Hey buddy im from Rhode Island i love watching your videos thank you

[@johnbratley6926]

Sadly fire spread is so rapid in the US because you build so much out of wood with little or no fire protection. Here in the UK (until the advent of cheap shoddy timber framed properties) everything is of brick or concrete construction. By limiting spread we achieve a quicker knockdown. Our first turn rescue pumps also utilise hose reels, not flaked hose, this allows a faster water on time.

[@barrywestervelt6259]

[@michaell3867]

You really need to get live hose reals put onto you’re trucks, it would have made a huge difference with initial attack on all those incidents. I am a volunteer Firefighter in Australia and all our fire fighting trucks have a live real(S) that is our go to at the start of a fire to start initial attach as soon a possible as that helps slow the fire, and just makes things much easer.

[@JollyGreenGiant94]

Sounds like what you're referring to is the equivalent of what we would call a pre-connect line here in the U.S. It is a hose that is already connected to the truck so the FFs can grab it, engage the pump and start attacking the fire. www.fireengineering.com/2016/07/21/235251/throw-back-to-basics-preconnect-hose-loads/

[@michaell3867]

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thank you are you're response. On our Pumpers the live reals are 90 metres of 38mm high pressure (850 lpm at 5500 kPa) pressure hose which works amazing. Our Tankers (wildland firefighting apparatus) also have live reals just not high pressure and work great for Grass and scrub fires.

From what i can tell, it's a government agency.

Why didn't they smash out the window of the car blocking the fire hydrant and fill it with water on the part with the 5 houses burning

[@Jared7369]

[@aaronjessie5795]

so whats a safety unit like safety 35 and what's their role on a scene

[@megagames3605]

A safety unit is a safety officer who makes sure the operation is safe.

[@QemeH]

To expand on this a bit more: The [Incident] Safety Officer (often called ISO) is a member of the command team, usually qualified as battalion chief or higher, who's main focus is risk management. While all other battalion chiefs on scene have a number of units to direct, they are without a directly subordinate unit, free to roam the scene, looking out for additional dangers. You can see examples of those in this Vlog, when the ISO shuts off the power line or when he directs an engine to cut off the gas inside (and then tell incident command about it). They are also responsible for roadside safety, so they'd be implementing lane closures and a step-by-step re-opening plan after the incident, etc. I think the best way to think about it is "a battalion chief without a battalion"...

[@ocscards9]

@@QemeH In South Metro the safety officer is only a captain or lt.
