Fleet Friday - Decon 17

In this Fleet Friday, Lieutenant Ben Sipe provides a tour of Decontamination Unit "Decon" 17. The vehicle is a 2013 International Durastar with an Alfred Industries cargo body. This vehicle was originally named "Decon 3" as reflected by the decals that have not been updated yet. Several of these units were distributed to fire departments in the Denver area as part of the Metropolitan Medical Response System or "MMRS" with the goal of efficient response to incidents requiring mass decontamination.

As amazing as everything carried on this truck is, I find it more amazing that this firefighter knows it's there, where it actually is on the truck, what it's all used for and how to use it. This man's like a walking database!

[@sporttrac32]

Another awesome vehicle. You guys got some really cool/neat equipment. Love it. Take care and stay safe out here. Can’t wait for the next one.

[@troytrotter9751]

[@duke3336]

Waiting for a great fleet Friday

[@FerroequinologistofColorado]

Looking forward to this Fleet Friday!

[@bradyhovis]

Could you do a fleet Friday on med-1 please and maybe a day in the life of crew on med-1 please?

[@melaniedemattia661]

So excited

[@btydanger2cason947]

I've never seen a fire truck like this before in my home town, I've seen pumpers, ladder, and ems in the fire departments where I live.

[@E81_Photography]

Same here. My department only has engines, medics, a Explorer and a pickup truck.

[@mynamestartswithc6587]

Can't waitttttt

[@josephgibson1625]

the best fleet friday

[@shawnkoziol3139]

Thank you Gus for doing this.

[@tjthemainm898]

I had a reminder and everything

[@maxnewman933]

Good video.

[@maniacmedic1985uk]

It is really great to see that South Metro is supporting Breast cancer awareness month with their logo in pink on staffs T shirts. Well done! Wish the services in the U.K. would do a similar thing!

[@markjeffers1341]

merseyside has an appliance called lilly the pink, humberside also has an pink appliance to show awareness.

[@MrTeach0502]

Is there a hazmat day in a life

[@mikel9567]

Why would there be? Hazmat is not a dedicated unit as they don't many Hazmat calls. When a Hazmat call comes in, the engine crew jumps on the Hazmat truck.

[@jonahgray5999]

yes there is look on there channel

[@anthonyg13emergencyvideos]

It really depends on the department, if it’s a bigger department they will likely have specially dedicated staff, if it’s a smaller one it will likely be cross staffed. Same deal with swat

[@Fatcat-racing]

Mike L god calm down

[@WhoNick]

this is basically hazmat Day in a life

[@godfredansong_gh9021]

Waiting for station Saturday

[@NickSiani]

For Station Saturday at Station 12, which I hope comes out soon, can you have Justin LaBorde do the tour? I liked him from your day in the life in January. Also if we could get a closer look at Ladder 12 that would be amazing!

[@jonielgonzalezyt]

They should do a fleet Friday on the hammer

[@dogboy414]

That is what I was thinking

[@Spitfire8520]

They already have, HAMER is an old name used for Hazmat 38 which you can see at kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKHHeHydbql3Y9E. HAMER stands for HAzardous Materials Emergency Response and is what South Metro used to call their hazardous materials apparatus.

[@jonielgonzalezyt]

@@Spitfire8520 oh ok I didn't get that thx

[@jonielgonzalezyt]

@@dogboy414 hi

[@laytonplayz7113]

I don't know about anyone else but this channel makes me want to be a firefighter

[@LemonToGo]

I don't but I still think it is very interesting

[@ethandunlop7395]

Would you say you guys cover aurora reservoir as well or no because I caught engine 22 and battalion chief 5 going there once. But I’m curious.

[@tonybradford1719]

You should do a day in the life of a fire marshal

[@Fatcat-racing]

I think I asked them to do this a while. Ago. Thanks south metro

[@tyman4106]

Med 1 fleet Friday!!

[@willlewis8340]

what a cool and informative video . :0) how many decon trucks does south metro have ?

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

Two that I know of I believe. The channel and the website should tell you. Right now one is/ was reserved for Covid.

[@Spitfire8520]

Just one for hazardous materials. There is/was another temporary unit that used the "decon" name for COVID-19 related decontamination which is/was not a permanent unit.

[@alex_1798]

Will Ladder 12 or Engine 23 be featured?

[@ECEmergencyResponseMedia]

Hello from Metro Detroit! #nohosenation #truckie #puttinginwork #jobtown #motorcity #DFD

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

Hello from Midland MI.

[@firefightingguy9427]

I see AR (Synthetic foam) I thought the alcohol resistant foams are the bad ones. What about using Class A foam that is biodegradable? I understand that in terms of environmental protection it seems that the foam you have stocked does have risks to yourselves and the public. Just an inquiring question.

[@parkeratwood2717]

Are y’all’s cancer shirts for sale to the public? Or maybe a shirt swap??

[@Firefighter-ki1fw]

I want one to

[@alexvargo4842]

Lets goo

[@nk6197]

YES!!

[@RtCmdr]

8:05 *batteries

[@midproductions1529]

I never knew this was a thing

[@johnhicks9529]

Y'all need some floater bag hoses for pumping out.& removing spills.&fuels with to guys.

[@jeremybradshaw3154]

Can you guys do a day in the life of a probationary firefighter?

[@TheMobius001]

there did First Day Working as a Firefighter - South Metro Unscripted Episode 10 what is a bit like a day in a life.

[@aaronjwalkerga]

How often is this rig used?

[@Spitfire8520]

This apparatus responded 16 times in 2019. It ran 2 calls as Decon 3 before it became Decon 17 and ran 14 calls as Decon 17.

[@louism.4957]

Can you do a boat or command truck if you have one please

[@pamelafogg9774]

I like Conner and Eric pio vlogs

[@riok_54]

Can you do fire investigators

[@LAPD9112]

The rig says DECON-3 but title says DECON-17

[@Spitfire8520]

The explanation is in the description. Decon 3 was what this rig was previously called before it was changed to Decon 17. It was related to South Metro's historical department number 3.

[@haydentell3728]

A idea for day in the life, Senior advisor, Fire investigator

[@John-jg4wp]

I hear him refer to the hammer quite a bit. What is it? I don’t think I’ve seen it on this channel

[@FerroequinologistofColorado]

I think he’s referring to the Hazmat 38 rig.

[@Spitfire8520]

It is an acronym that is used in the Denver area for hazardous materials units and it does refer to Hazmat 38. HAMER stands for HAzardous Materials Emergency Response.

[@johnhicks9529]

Along with shipping&dock workers.& etc. Out there in need of food resources more.

[@sparkthefirebuff4]

What is the PIO Office address I would like to send you a patch

[@AHMx1995]

SMFR PIO Office 9195 E. Mineral Ave Centennial, CO 80112

[@johnhicks9529]

As A add on resource if needed accessable ready to use.

[@bryanwilken2819]

Where can I get one of y’all’s breast cancer awareness shirts he’s wearing lol

[@WhoNick]

same id love to get one lol

[@johnhicks9529]

Add on truck drivers.& any type of transportation services.& postal services to in on this aswell to.& aviation people to.

[@psychoangrydriversandpeopl8371]

When do we get a day in the life of pio?

[@WhoNick]

they made one already about connor and eric

[@alexanderwiand6997]

But like, who decons the Decon techs. Hmmmmmmmmmm

[@BillBlast7372]

8:51 On his radio strap, down towards his stomach, is that a pepper/OC can of spray in the black velcro pouch?? It is the same size & if it is not, I'm curious as to what it is?? The way the world is over the past few years, I would not doubt or blame him for carrying it to be safe, at this rate all 1st responders will probably need to start carrying firearms...

[@1887MB]

Flashlight

[@charliebeelaert236]

What's the next fleet Friday? Anyone know?

[@ocscards9]

Collapse 45, Arm 37, Rehab 12, Med 1, TEMS 1,

[@johnhicks9529]

I think that they should do Another government food give away to fire departments& police departments to this year.& military aswell from the farmers again just for those groups.& then shelters.& Red cross for emergency relief resources to.& then everyone else last this year.

[@208Firebuff]

Yes hazmat 38

[@johnhicks9529]

That includes DNR.& fish&game to.& give deer.&etc. Types of meat packages out to for them also. Through donations.& food drives to help out.

[@AndrewZonenberg]

Any reason you didn't do a demo of setting up the sprayers and scrubbing down some of the new firefighters in their Level A gear? Seems like it'd be a good training opportunity.

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

I am guessing it takes a while to set up and take down then do all that. They would probably need to plan that as a department training with one of the commands.

[@AndrewZonenberg]

@@EricWhiteTheGamer Well, yeah. My question was more why this particular Fleet Friday wasn't planned to happen during such a training so you could grab some cool footage.

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

They normally don’t do that. But that would be a great different category idea for there channel for all vehicles.

[@yukonbear1]

Water Wednesday I think it could be a good idea with rescue boats and water units to see what they do in a day. I think this could be like fleet friday and A day in the life as it could show what water rescue does in a day and what they use.

[@AIRSIDEOPSAviation]

I love SMFR PIO and I’m a big fan of SMFR PIO and I like Connor and Eric

[@sparkthefirebuff4]

Why is it Decon 17 but the rear of the truck said 3 also great video

[@harrisonschmidt7596]

Description says that it was originally named Decon 3 and the decals have not been changed yet.

[@brysonmoran6619]

I live in the east coast. I know all the rigs in the city I live so I am trying to learn all your.

[@anddrewb1367]

Whats the hammer?

[@Spitfire8520]

The HAMER is Hazmat 38 which can be seen in their Fleet Friday at kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKHHeHydbql3Y9E. HAMER stands for HAzardous Materials Emergency Response and is an older name for hazardous materials units in the area.

[@K_ber1]

How many hazmat calls a month

[@Spitfire8520]

South Metro went on 38 hazmat calls in 2019 and this specific apparatus responded a total of 16 times in 2019.

[@dawsont933]

The DAY this premiered we had a large hazmat spill and needed 2 decon and 2 hazmat trucks lol

[@andrewshaw2913]

What's u people favorite truck mine is brush engine 39 :)

[@nk6197]

Brush 33. I live close and have seen it on several occasions. Went mistakenly to my house once

[@QemeH]

I think Collapse 45 is a really unique solution. I don't know if I would want to work with it, but it's certainly the most interesting apparatus of SMFR.

[@alrt1577]

Do you have a helicopter

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

I don’t think they do. Check the channel or website. If they need planes or helicopters they call them in from the state, National and local and surrounding fire support teams.

[@FINGamer]

You have boats?

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

Check the channel or there website. But yes I think they do.

[@declancombs6458]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

[@chrischi783]

Typic Amerika🙂 much bigger than needed😉. Put this things on right an leftside with flaps and the vehicle can be in half sice as it is.🙂

[@jessefireguy]

English please?

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

Agree

[@EricWhiteTheGamer]

Agree I thought they had showers or a bathroom set up. They either need more gear or make it smaller but I guess it keep it neat.
