Chief First on Scene - Vlog 27

On this Vlog viewers get to ride along with District Chief 1 as he responds to and arrives on scene at a fully engulfed garage fire on September 2, 2019. It was the first of three structure fires that SMFR crews responded to that day and a busy weekend collecting donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

[@calmcculloch6038]

Some say the incident is still updating to this day.

I'm going out on a limb here but I think the incident has been updated.

[@eddiestobart4life677]

I’m going on a hunch here that it is updated and is still updating

[@bunker108]

Got that 2.5” in service in just over a minute of being in scene. Great job.

[@jeffroalpha700]

bunker108 - I was thinking the same thing. I always time in these videos time from park to first water on structure. There are so many horrendous videos out there where they are fiddle around for 5-10 minutes before first water ever happens. Anytime it is in the 45-second to 1’15” mark, it shows a level of professionalism and proficiency. Glad to see South Metro on the ball!

[@jeffdillon8816]

Big fire = Big water. Definitely good work getting water on the fire. Definitely have seen many videos out there with delayed water on the fire or Big fire with an ineffective hose line.

[@JB91710]

Water from a Deck Gun should have been flowing in 30 seconds of arrival. And, the Deck Gun would have been much more effective than that limp stream they had.

[@JB91710]

@@jeffroalpha700 What about a Deck Gun which would have been flowing water 35 seconds faster? What about that limp stream we saw wetting down the driveway?

[@JB91710]

@@jeffdillon8816 7:12 Big water? The Deck Gun under pressure is Big Water, not this.

[@robstamatiadis4834]

The blue helmets at the incident is a great initiative and an excellent way to get kids exposed to what it's like to be a firefighter. Great episode, thanks 👍🏻

[@sgt.guardsman2221]

Our Village is working on a program in our High School for student to get their Firefighter 1 when they graduate. The program is still in the development stage. It would be good though to have such a program as SMFR to teach students what goes on as a Firefighter/EMT.

[@sgt.guardsman2221]

Marcellus, Michigan!

[@wilsonbloxer]

@@sgt.guardsman2221 Here in Marion County, Florida, students have the opportunity to attend the College of Central Florida during the first semester of senior year to acquire their EMT certification, and Florida State Fire College during the second semester to acquire Firefighter 1. It's really a wonderful program and every student who participates truly loves it.

[@jackhuston8151]

The Arapahoe Rescue Patrol is a very valuable service, and do much more than just SMFR Rehab Assistance! They are the main search and rescue team for Arapahoe and Elbert County and perform their main duty as a search and rescue unit, but love assisting SMFR whenever they can! If you are or know someone who is a high school student in the Centennial/Littleton Colorado area interested in emergency services, share our name with them! It's a great way to experience this field first hand. Learn more about who we are at www.arapahoerescue.org

[@DanielHernandez-vt9fc]

There is also a fire explorer program for ages 14-20 yrs old that teach the basics of firefighting. I have turned in the application and I’m just waiting for the next class to start. So excited 😆

[@countrygamer7593]

I wonder if the incident was updated.

[@jacobwright70]

[@ericwinn6987]

I’m not quite sure if it was or not.....

I never got the update

[@hysx0]

By the way, your incident has been updated

[@stevenkerbel2166]

As the Sgt from Arapahoe Rescue incharge of SMFR Rehab the shout out means a lot! Thank you @southmetropio !! Hopefully when our new truck goes in service we can have you guys show it off. If any of you have questions about Arapahoe Rescue and what we do me ask away. I'm more than happy to answer your questions!

[@chrisrowland2223]

I would love to see a Station Saturday or something covering Arapahoe Rescue. That would be interesting to see how the department is set up and what type of calls they answer. Thanks for service.

[@ammardardari2314]

I have to applaud and tip my helmet to the gentleman in command. Although the others did a great job getting water quickly on the structure. The commanders orders were very clear and his overall demeanor was awesome.

[@bondservantministriesinc.672]

Ammar Dardari Agreed! I like how he felt with E17 emergency button being activated on a different channel! Smart commander!!!

[@dwcanavan]

No 360 and sat in the car interesting approach

[@bondservantministriesinc.672]

I am not sure which device told him to turn right, but that is really cool. For it to receive the alarm and automatically calculate the route is pretty awesome.

[@rickallman1318]

Impressive time between arriving on scene and getting water onto the fire! A+!

[@zacharyanonymous5170]

At 4:55. Did the GPS say turn left in 1/10 of a mile but then the Chief turned right the correct way towards the fire. I don’t know if I’m the only one who caught that. 🤔🤨.

[@zacharyanonymous5170]

PIO South Metro Fire Rescue PIO. Thanks for answering my comment. I just got the notification saying you replied even though you did it 3 days ago. Also just out of curiosity was the incident ever updated.

[@Polarbear5353]

Excellent execution using onboard water supply.

[@jackwilliams2972]

Even to this day 2 years after I can still here “Your incident has been updated”

[@DotJFreel]

Loved this video. Congrats on the fast responses to putting those fires out fast and collecting the most money for MD!

Apparently I’m 8 months late to an incident update...

[@josephlougheed5890]

Michael Culpepper apparently I am 11 months late

[@michaelculpepper3845]

The best Of the best i guess that means we’re overhaul...one of us should probably call dispatch with an update

Thank you for your service and keeping everyone safe

More vlogs please. The vlogs are always the highlight of my week.

[@garynielsen4385]

Fantastic job getting water on the fire so fast! Most of the fire videos I have seen, takes them 10 to 15 minutes. Mostly because the firefighters look to be disabled they move so slow. You're guys I actually saw some running. Shows how much they care and the pride they have in their job. Be proud!

Out of all the videos I've watched over the years, Hats off to your crew and the quick time from arrival to putting water on the fire. I get so frustrated at times watching firefighters lollygagging around, putting on thier PPE... 30- 45 seconds later they are set but no water. Your crew rocked.

Nothing better then a chief telling everyone what line to pull, where to park, get your gear on, blah blah blah. Must have been everyone’s first day.

[@scrappy673]

"Nobody inside?" "Uhh... atleast by what i've been told" "Ok.." **Thats promising... **

[@erice3525]

And no 360, first thing you ALWAYS do. But still a nice response otherwise.

[@scrappy673]

@Mr.M My point exactly!

[@robertdoggett1093]

Great job best response I ever seen

[@daviemccallum7759]

That is good that you are getting secondary school children/ Adults. Getting to help out at fires. The out side cooker that went on fire could the family not keep a foam fire extinguisher at the side of the out side cooker just in case just a thing like the side of the house does catch fire and all so call you.

[@hookindeployments3882]

Noticed out of a lot of major cities, South Metro is the only I've seen where IC sits in their vehicle.

[@mikepaz4870]

I was a Reserve FF for a small bedroom Community in the West part of Contra Costa County , CA. In Oakland CA was an EMT until I was in the FIRST P.M training program and we brought ALS to the street. Eight years a Navy Corpsman onboard a Cruiser ...tons of training = Advancd Damage Control designator. Cross decked Sea Duty to Sea Duty to Go Green. Field Med Service School at Pendleton then Two tours with FMF , LPO of BAS and combat in one War. I finished my 37 year Career of Service As an RN, CEN working in level one and Two trauma Centers. Im an unashamed FIRE buff on ewe tube . I Love Newark FIRE Videos with Batallion Chief Decker and his Videos. They are Not polished , rather raw and visceral. Stockton CA ( parts of which are nortenos , surenos , MS 13 , Crips and Bloods infested ) has awesome Videos. These Two teach alot IF one is a critical thinker. I rarely watch this. Its very Hollywood and Two PIO’ s , one with the cheerleader affect complete with dimples , constantly smiling despite tragedies. Do PIO’s bring in tax increases ? As I dont understand their Role in a small - low medium sized Department. When you are Not Cheering SMFD ...... Do you Miss being FF’s and working ?

[@mikepaz4870]

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO thank you very much for a very well articulated answer. Though I’m shocked re recruiting..... back when I tested about 6 times , while also taking Fire Science in a Community College I just gave up .....and never got my “ dream job “. One saw the same group of guys ( no Women in the dark ages of late 70’s to 80’s. ). After awhile I found it depressing....same faces traveling the state. Back then CA had a horrific cut in ALL aspects of public safety. Well you guys are awesome recruit agents and I’m sure the residents of your response area sleep better having such a bad ass department. SFMF , Mike

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

About what is the raw amount that a new PIO for SMFR would make? That is on average not including pay vacation, on and off responding, cost of living, tax’s and anything else but as I did raw before everything else is taken out!

[@firemedic2816]

Fun fact about Cincinnati Fire Department they where the first full time paid fire dept in the nation, established in 1853

[@salt4dinner968]

Really cool how you guys can change the light color from red to green.

[@some0ne8]

It's called the Opticom signal preemption system or something like that. I never realized how fast it worked.

[@Kitsaper]

It really makes a huge difference and safer for everyone on the road. As you may notice, it’s only green in one of the four directions which unclogs any backup stuck in, or if absolutely necessary, use the oncoming lane.

[@zyglo9826]

EasternLawz-google ‘traffic signal preemption’.

Wooow. It's. Amazing i love your vídeos

[@blump2713]

Great Knockdown! You can see the excellent training these firefighters have. IC was was calm cool and collected. I myself am a Chief Officer the only thing i didnt understand was no actual 360 by IC.. Command from inside their vehicle maybe their SOP. Still an awesome job done by all!!

[@Mike518Mike]

Fires like this are really rare here in Germany, we have really strict building-codes requiring fire protection measures, most buildings are made of stone (concrete). However, I have huge respect for your firefighters' bushing against the odds in this situation with mostly wooden structures. Get home save always. Or like we would say in Germany: Gut Wehr!

[@sistermarynapalm8612]

I've seen that in more and more videos lately, and as I haven't seen it before, I would like to know: What exactly is being updated? Units assigned, alarm level or something else? How does it work? If you could explain that, I'd be very grateful. Best regards from Germany
