Hey folks! Check out the description for more details

[@CentralValleyFireBuff]

For those who do not know, whenever a cardiac arrest call is entered into the 911 system at SMFR. A Medical supervisor or "EMS District Supervisor" is sent to the call to help with consoling family, CPR, using an AED, or using an ultrasound device. If a medical supervisor is not available a Battalion chief form that specific battalion (if available) will be sent as they also carry the same advanced ultrasound equipment to find movement in the heart.

I loved seeing IDT 11 running with an electric Q. A very underrated siren. It’s not heard much in New England.

[@sethr109]

I LOVE the cruise lights on the Bureau vehicle @9:23

Did PIO10 used to run medical calls as well? Or was he just running to those calls for one of their videos.

Do you know when the next video from south metro is going up and do you know if pio10 is getting a new truck?

[@natesiebert2840]

I’m not sure, and I’ve been told within the next year or two

[@australianfirstresponders9054]

hey great video buddy suscribed

[@James-iw1uo]

Great video man! Do you know how many of each unit SMFR has in service? I’ve been looking but I can’t find a recent count

[@natesiebert2840]

I believe it’s: 23 engines, 6 trucks, 19 medics, 5 battalion chiefs, 1 district chief, 2 safety officers, 1 ems supervisor.

[@n150cz9]

If anyone is from SMFR or knows about the structure of their response. I've got one question. Why do they respond code to everything? I can understand a structure fire, medical emergency, MVA with injuries,Wildland fire, police request. Around here in Montana we don't respond code to an incident unless we know there's either injuries or an active fire. If it's like a smoke investigation I could see that too. But for incidents such as a minor car accident with no injuries or a smoke alarm going off, is that just how SMFR operates? They are such a great department I love them. But I've also been told if everything is an emergency then a lot of things aren't a life threatening emergency. My question is that. Is this just how SMFR operates with responses or is it up to the chiefs and command personnel when they respond code vs non code.

[@nkervmedia]

Any idea why Med 1 has red/white lights as opposed to the usual red/blue?

[@natesiebert2840]

It’s a former littleton fire rescue unit, and they didn’t have any blues

[@nolanbrown6894]

​@@Daniel-cw8lg I figured they were take home vehicles. I've just always wondered the reasoning behind unmarked fire vehicles. I've heard a lot of people say it so they aren't a target to thieves, yet, there are a lot of take home vehicles that are marked.

@Gregorio Cruz interesting, I didn't know there were studies about it. I'll have to check those out.

Bad drivers from what I can see. If you hear a siren, stop your vehicle immediately until they pass you.

Any chance you know what siren the car at 06:50 and 07:25 is using?

That is a Powercall and sometimes they are combining it with the weird manual siren from the Whelen Carbide

Why do i here 2 sirens coming from one car? (Edit: hi again it is me i have another’s question what is your favorite fire truck in smfr)
