Blizzards Ops, Fire Training & Behind the Scenes at Fleet - PIO Vlog

[@planofootball09]

Fleet is an Interesting part of the fire service. Would love to see some time lapsed videos of some of the upfits.

[@texasgiant2028]

I would love to see them do a project truck from bits and pieces they already have.

[@corycollier]

the "heroes behind the scenes" you could say :)

[@blueboar]

"ARMCAR" on the to-do board may be a good one to follow... armored?

[@thepathlighter8874]

Matt, you're a natural on camera. Give us more! !

[@28morela]

Yes please

[@chrisrowland2223]

I enjoy watching all your videos, you have a unique way of sharing your team and their equipment that allows us to feel like we are a part of the team. Please show more of Matt and Fleet, I enjoy learning and watching not only the firefighters but the support staff that all work together.

[@KkidzZ.]

I would definitely like some stuff with fleet especially maybe some day in the life’s or more vlogs focused on fleet

[@andrewheritage425]

Fleet is such an overlooked department! I vote for a monthly fleet Friday update!

[@robtman9199]

Outstanding Video. Yes more of fleet services and Matt. So many behind the fire service scenes. Stay safe.

[@owensweetland342]

Matt did a fantastic job with his walk through of a well layed out apparatus.

[@riotj.4953]

Fleet is awesome! Would love to see more!

[@esmeesme7666]

Loved this video. I find the details of getting a new truck fascinating. So much still has to be done once the new apparatus is delivered. Please make more videos with the first fleet member. Thanks.

[@ahnbra]

More videos at Fleet Services would be very interesting to me. I work as an auto parts delivery driver for one of the largest aftermarket auto and truck parts companies in the USA. So I sometimes get to go to the Fleet services fire training center near where I work. The police and fire departments share the property and I see many different emergency vehicles on the property. Over all I like any and all videos about SMFR. It would be great to see and hear from other Fleet Services staff (mechanics/techs or office & other support staff).

[@paulw.4834]

Great job Matt. Your fabrication work is really cool. 👌

[@joshrobinson764]

More fleet videos please!!!! Maybe what engines/trucks/ladders they are fixing that come in to be repaired?

[@duke101695]

I liked the fleet visit!!

[@itisjambo]

Seeing Fleet was awesome, and Matt is a great guy to feature! Super comfortable on camera and great at explaining everything. Would love to see more of what he and the rest of the team do.

[@mekhianderson5159]

I definitely would like to see more of fleet or maybe do a video on a full build if possible!

[@markperkin1660]

Yes, more fleet. It's helpful to see what your department does with equipment.

From a old 75 year old man in England thank you very much I look forward to watching P10 Vlog and from myself to everyone at South Metro take care and stay safe.

[@duckbow]

More fleet! A side series of a full build of a new vehicle would be sick. Just send Matt a GoPro and let him loose!!!

[@derekyeager4719]

Yes I would love to see more of the fleet

[@marknelson2846]

Another excellent vlog, Eric! The stories of the blizzard were especially cool.

[@ethangreig656]

South Metro Videos are a must for me. I feel as if my week isn't complete without watching there newest video. It doesn't matter what kind of video it is.

[@mattruglio3745]

Love fleet!

[@rogeliorodriguezlll]

I didn’t know I needed this but I did. Thank you.

[@ConnorOutdoors]

Yeah more fleet bureau vlogs would be awesome. Would’ve liked to see more about the engine that they had the cab tilted working on the motor, and the ladder truck that was on the lift!

[@jamesdowning5997]

Would definitely love to see a day in the life with fleet.

[@rileydid22]

I would love to see more fleet stuff! Maybe focus on some of your communications systems and radios? Other than the idt and metcom

[@corycollier]

More fleet without question!

[@robertwhite7935]

I really appreciate these videos. Thank you guys, keep it up.

[@nsbyband5239]

I would love to see him actually filling up the trucks I could sit all day watching this stuff and learn from others on how to apply to our fleet tnx waiting for more videos

[@cmcer1995]

Great Intro into what Matt does in the maintenance of various emergency apparatus. I love the redundancy and organization of these vehicles. Kind of a Type A myself. I think that is a great idea to include what he does, because without him nothing goes anywhere. Better Denver and Colorado Springs, but that's what happens when you go further North. Glad to hear Red 3 is multipurpose. So that's why there are some snowplows hanging around. Nice to have a Tracked Vehicle too. How about how serious the Lack of Snow can be for SMFR too? That Fire Attack Training should be an awesome class and I believe will be essential in saving lives of firefighters as well as trapped victims. The "Vertical Ventilation" Technique should be a logical way to safely vent, but when you watch the Boyd Street Structure Fire in LA in 2020 something went seriously wrong, and firefighters were almost killed with what looks like a Backdraft. No matter, this technique has proven to save lives when properly used. When you look at the quality of these video a lot of thought and great editing goes into these along with creativity. Thanks to the POIs that put these videos together and to all those that participate in the Patch Shoutouts.

[@dustinpowers8312]

They are really good and fun to learn how your Fire house look

Fleet visit was awesome

[@Everythingguy33]

Picture this....... Fleet Friday, but it's the mobile service trucks that the mechanics drive or those plow trucks. Not sure if South Metro has their own Tow Trucks, but throw those in as well. Just a theory. Great video as always Eric!

[@trob0914]

Awesome VLOG, very nice new Velocity! Everyone at So. Metro stay safe and I hope Connor"s doing well!!

I like to see more of Fleet

Please, more from the fleet folks!!

[@tylerknecht5168]

It would definitely be cool to see like a start of a build to the end of the build from a fleet perspective. Maybe like safety18 or Med 1

[@chrisbgaming5079]

Yeah the new fleet units that are going to the right stations they look so cool and i have a question if their was a fuel tanker truck on the any of the interstates and a engine and a Airport rescue unit or a ladder truck runs out of water would a tanker get called out if their are no hydrants near by

[@ryanfiner]

Fleet is awesome I would love to see more

[@CarlosL-rt7ek]

Please do more fleet visits

i need to see more fleet firday video

[@chrisb9363]

Would love to see more fleet Where do you guys sell your old units

[@culbyj3665]

Even More interesting would be to do a profile on your tax base and how this beautiful equipment is afforded. What your call volume is and types of calls In comparison to other major cities. Great Video , The fleet department seems like they can do anything with saying they can fabricate To custom the apparatus. Thats very cool and probably underappreciated. Do SOme more fleet behind the scenes..

I like the fleet section

[@NVConservative]

Curious what the average time frame is (assuming all the parts are available and inhouse) does it take to ready an engine or ladder from taking initial delivery to being put in service? Thx. Well done segment.

[@Jono.P]

Would definitely love to see more of fleet services. It would also be cool to do a fleet Friday on one of those old school plow trucks

[@hidude7793]

[@vanceadkins1231]

Love to see more stuff at fleet!

[@TheHastingsumc]

Here in Albert Lea MN -- something is done on the front end of some pierce Trucks, I got a pick of a few. So wondering did station 20 open early or was the truck behind in delivery That had to make extra work to put an engine in station 20 for a couple of months. BTW I guess I need to join the club to Yes to Matt.

[@kenturner2349]

Pierce is months behind in new vehicle builds as well as vehicle repairs. A department close to me had an aerial that was struck on the freeway in July of 2020 and it was just picked up for repair last week by Pierce. I think Sta 20 opened on time with a delay in getting their new apparatus.

[@TheHastingsumc]

@@kenturner2349 that a big delay by Pierce. With Covid clearly supply chains did help. Sorry to hear about your Aerial, that a long time without a front line unit.

[@kenturner2349]

@@TheHastingsumc It was a neighboring city's aerial but yes it does suck for them. Covid really screwed a lot of things up!!

[@Spitfire8520]

So this is an interesting question because Station 20 was actually late to open. It was supposed to be completed in Fall 2020, but the construction was delayed so the original engine that was supposed to be Engine 20 ended up becoming Engine 44 so that it did not just sit around in storage for a year. The new Engine 20 was ordered to replace the original engine slated for them and the new engine arrived after the station opened instead of before it opened as originally intended.

[@TheHastingsumc]

@@Spitfire8520 that makes great logic on SMFD and makes Pierce looks not totally far behind. Thanks for the information.

[@krzysztofhepner4046]

Hey Eric, been watching for a while now. I don’t know if you’ve been working on it or not, but you look good man!
