PIO Vlog - December 2021

[@goombasquaddie6118]

Yesterday, fire investigators here in Norway told that a plastic beach ball was a probably cause of a massive forest fire that reached homes too, last summer. It worked as a magnifying glass in the sun in the dry vegetation and strong wind made it bad quickly.

[@augustinetabeling7467]

I love the dash cam video and audio from the incidents. Could you publish more of that? I love the perspective of the commanders working together with their trucks parked next to each other!

[@MrBrandon105123]

"You're incident has been updated" It's been like a year and District 1 is probably still getting that alert.

[@MrBrandon105123]

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO What dispatch software is that?

[@RandomVideoEditors]

@@MrBrandon105123 They probably won't say first thing. and second if they did you can't access there Cad system they have a private system.

[@MrBrandon105123]

@@RandomVideoEditors They very much can say what dispatch software they use. And I have zero interest in trying to access their* (grammar) CAD. My agency is looking at switching.

Those insane winds you got a few days after the brush fire ripped through western Iowa the next day causing at least nine confirmed tornadoes in the tri-state area. Standing outside before the storms hit if it wasn't for the neighbor's Christmas decorations it looked like it was July again. Wish I had thought to mount my gopro outside before it hit. That was the first, and I hope, the only time I've heard the sirens go off in December for a reason other than their monthly test.

Great vlog and it's nice to see the team back together! As I watched the video from the BC trucks, I recalled the original onboard videos using low resolution B/W Ntsc equipment. The 4K resolution of your current onboard video systems is truly amazing and really enhances the feeling of being on scene. Kudos to SMF for recognizing the importance of having high quality videos. Keep up the great videos and above all STAY SAFE! 🚒🚑😷

[@drummerpatrick18]

Love that the two of you are reunited once again! The new intro is awesome! Any updates on a time frame for the day in the life at Fleet?

[@jofro520]

I love and have mad respect for firefighters. They just show that there are still kind people in the world.

[@aaronmcnulty3630]

Great job guys! Let's hope there isn't a Chatridge 4 fire! And thanks for helping the ducks!!! Be safe!

we could use you two out here n Australia for the fire season to deal with the public your a lot better than what we have now

[@cmcer1995]

This ducks first bubble bath. I am sure they enjoyed the warm bath and not the cold rinse. Drilling a hole into a fuel tanker, not my idea of fun at all. Righting it was not a safe option I take it? At least the house explosion was handled quickly and resolved. That is a problem in Colorado, with the nice winter weather we also have no moisture too often therefore Wildfires any time of the year and windy days are very common as well. Luckily, we have you to intervene 24/7 to put them out and save properties and people too. Great video and nice patches too.

[@andrewkardasz4925]

Happy New Year greetings you all from the UK. Let's hope 2022 is a better year.

[@poohbearmom64]

Thanks for the new vlog Eric and Connor 👍 WOW 😮 those Chatridge fires are intense *** glad to see that homes weren't destroyed *** was also pretty intense at that Tanker rollover 😮😳😳 thankful that the truck driver was not injured 👍 Happy New Year Eric and Connor 🎉🎉. Seeing those ducks be rescued, triaged, cleaned was Awesome 😎 ❤️ hope they're healthy now 👍

[@marknelson2846]

Great video guys! Welcome back, Connor!!

[@djtobygaming]

Is in possible to see some of the snow responses from the major snow storms? And do you still have the snowcat I believe it was?

[@markperkin1660]

Good to see you guys again.

[@tbuff91]

Do you think there will be more wide spread destructive suburban wildfires in the future with so many neighborhoods popping up in what was once dry natural open space? I'd hate to see another Marshall type fire but also understand times are changing.

[@MrChrisH33]

If you guys went to the Marshall Fire, I hope you do an extended video on PIO Vlog on that one.

[@darrenstracey2248]

Great vlog as always take care and stay safe all the best for 2022

Eric is actually filming that video right now, as the district is getting some snow, and roads are very slick.

[@dominicmuller4293]

Hey guys. What's the purpose of the black SUV arriving at 13:27 and what was his job on scene?

[@drummerpatrick18]

I don't know what the vehicle was, but I do know it was South Metro personnel, and they passed along Zulu command to them. So they gave that vehicle a second Ops channel to basically run the scene and resources that was on the opposite side that the Battalion Chief was on

[@centralcofirebuff7830]

I believe it was Special Ops 10 who is the District Chief for Ops Bureau who would serve as in certain cases as Division leader, operations commander and more of the leading/supervising duties

[@centralcofirebuff7830]

Actually disregard my last it is actually OPS 1 who is the Assistant chief of Emergency Services Division and will be a command unit and supervising unit
