Snowy Ride Along - Vlog 34

[@bm7151]

Seeing pickford at 6:06 is like travelling back in time before he did the captain ride along! It's funny because that Captain ride along was the first video that got ne hooked to SMFR. Great work ladies and gentlemen.

[@WWEFameOfficial]

I have to admit the work that goes into these videos I am impressed kudos to the dev team of these videos and a huge thanks not only to S.M.F.R. but to all the first responders out there whether it be firefighters paramedics or even police we are truly greatful for you safe responses to all of you

[@brucebaugh47]

I loved the lights and siren u-turn when the truck was canceled.

[@michaelmiera4780]

Happy thanksgiving Connor and Eric and all of South Metro Fire Rescue

[@nigelwilliams3616]

Another great video from SMFR. Definitely would be interested in seeing Med-1 & Tanker 34 as a Fleet Friday.

[@jamieround2072]

your patch shout-out part thats the 1 st i've seen n heard of so far.... wow 1834 sweet great ride a longs & glad to hear u guy's & crew r all good there.....

[@WillFieldFire]

Love the tender. We have a 1994 Kenworth 3D at our department, also a 3,000 gallon tank with a 1500 gpm pump. That thing is fun.

[@nothingnoone8206]

cool

[@Gamer-el2kz]

I'm a firefighter from Germany and it's fascinating to see how you work in the USA. Thank you for these videos!

[@bassman8591]

Hello Connor and Eric. You guys should do a little history on some of the fire departments of the country and South Metro. Keep up the awesome vlogs

[@darrenstracey2248]

Hi guy's great vlog as always loved the ride along hope to see more of those please take care God bless you all loving the snow can you send some my way please roll on the next vlog bye for now

[@robmac6696]

Wow, just discovered this channel. Great content and an awesome way for PIO's to feature and showcase department members daily lives, knowledge and abilities. As a former member of the media I remember trying to get any info from PIO's. Most were slow or non-responsive. The media just wanted to inform the public as to what is going on around them and many times we had information breakdowns in the process. You guys have taken it to a whole new level !!!... by not only highlighting your departments abilities but taken it to a proactive educational level. Well Done !! The public wants to support and get behind it's hero's .... We just need to be shown and educated. Excellent way to honor and create good PR for the people that cross the threshold into danger by just going to work!!!

[@AureliusR]

Ain't going to lie -- half the reason I tune in is because of Connor's bright smile :)

[@JPrenticeParton]

From Florida, it’s so great seeing these winter calls 🤙🏼

I live in Iowa and want to be a firefighter we get some harsh winters down here this video helped a lot thank you guys

[@vhwft]

It’s not just about slowing down, a very effective thing to do is to keep appropriate distance between you and the next car. Maintaining a safe gap is as important if not more so. It does not matter what speed you are going if you have no room to slow down and stop.

[@Maxi_Shubert]

I found myself really enjoying this kinda type of video))

Vlog 34 riding with Tower 34? Coincidence? I think not!

I love SMFR so much. I need one of these SMFR hats.

[@calebalt1557]

Absolutely amazes me how much pride firefighters take in their equipment. Even after driving through all that salt all the time there ain’t a spot of rust on those BEAUTIFUL pierce trucks!

[@treasurevalleyfirebuff8930]

salt? i think you mean snow?

[@jakefromstatefarm276]

@@treasurevalleyfirebuff8930 nope, they absolutely mean salt.

even though I completely agree with you, pierce trucks are made of aluminum. salt will still corrode it though, just without the rust

[@daviemccallum7759]

How do you stop the water from freezing in the tank and how do you stop the water from freezing in the hoses as well. Great video I must say.

[@sRussM]

I’ve always wondered how much paperwork a line firefighter has to do? I realize supervisors and drivers have the usual evaluations, maintenance logs, equipment breakage, loss, etc. If a firefighter saves someone’s life, discovers crime in a structure, destroys really valuable property while performing his duties, gets injured, etc. does he have a lot of reports, statements to do? Love your vlog. Really professional posts. Thank you for your service and this channel. 😊❤️🇺🇸

[@jasonyoder7606]

I love to watch your ride along

[@extraslayar4585]

so with the double specialty in the station staffed by the same group of guys for both trucks. Whats happens when theres a fully involved apartment fire in the area of the station where both trucks would be very useful at the scene?

[@CO.Boynton]

At San Francisco Fire department am a Firefighter Paramedic, Nice seeing different Departments

[@ericstone9493]

If your doing a ride along Eric will you help out on any fire operations such as hydrant tagging or a building 360 if you get a worker ? Also Happy Thanksgiving.

[@ph11p3540]

That is incredible that your fire department was established in 1882. I mean Denver was barely a small hick town at that time and I am assuming Centennial as an outlying area never existed except for brush and tumbleweeds. Would love to see a special video on the history of this fire department and it's evolution from bucket brigade to the modern fire department it is today

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

We love our long history and deep roots in various communities here! You might enjoy this history video which highlights Littleton fire Department. It's the legacy organization that dates back to the 1890's - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp6TmqKLaMegobs

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO Okay thank you have a AMAZING thanksgiving

[@travelfan0011]

Loved this video!

[@ooglieguy6469]

Question, why aren't all of your rigs using auto-chains? At 1:20 the rig has manual chains, do these work better for your area or just company preference? In our area, all rigs have auto.

[@NVConservative]

Great vlog, need more of these.

[@jay2659]

[@kylenugent9187]

[@michaelt.9372]

Do crews go out of service temporarily while doing rig checks?

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

Tanker 34 is gorgeous! Goodness!

[@pinellascountyfirerescue9646]

When is fleet Friday coming out

[@orangeofficer528]

What happened to the Red and Black rigs?

[@cjkokay]

@3.12 the FF pulls out the charging socket. This in risk assessment represents a potential hazard due to the flex being held onto the socket fitting only by the inbuilt cord clamp. The recommended method is use a cord plugging attachment that pulls the socket away from the plug by acting on the frame of the socket eg a pulling lug. This way there is less stress on the end of flex.

[@angelmedic9829]

Their trucks have an auto-ejector system, but they sometimes get stuck and need a small tug to fully release

[@XpsilverUnboxing]

Hey guys love the Videos about The south Metro fire department and it is Way Different from the San Antonio fire department

Do you guys use the LUCAS device when you run a code? Or is it strictly manual compressions

[@ThePatrickm20]

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO I see. We as well do "PIT CREW" CPR but we use the LUCAS for compressions. Frees up a FF to do other tasks on scene. Its been I place the last couple years. Awesome tool 👍🏽

[@matthewlassell]

Can you do a Fleet Friday of Med 1

[@nolananderer9525]

Yes!

[@Tinyshooterbill]

Interesting to see chains on the rigs. How does that affect the handling beyond the fact that it obviously provides added traction

[@WillyBillyBoy24]

Other than noise and vibration, which they crew probably doesn't feel, I wonder if the handling changes too. My question would be handling in turns moreover than going straight.

[@elliottlee4488]

Happy thanksgiving y’all be safe.

[@JohnnyTorontoEh]

Great coverage. Question........do PIO's get dispatched to every working fire? Even in the middle of the night? Is this to document the fire responses or to address media even on a small fire?

[@TrainsForever]

Why do the bigger cities call the trucks tenders? My city of only 6,000 people so it’s very little, we call them tankers. Just wondering. But amazing video like always and keep up the great work!!

[@TrainsForever]

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO ohh that makes sense thank you. Where I live we don’t have huge fires that often so that may be why

[@PeterLokey]

Awesome Video,

[@Mike25654]

So the crew from Tower 34 can also jump on Tanker or Rescue if a special call comes in. Then the next ladder has to respond. Doesn't that lead to sometimes extremely long response times? In Germany 3-5 Guys on a house would never work. In most paid departments the vehicles are organised in "Platoons" which are based together in one station. Very similar to Task forces in LA. We need to have 10 Firefighters on scene within 8 Minutes of a fire dispatch and then another 6 within the next 5 Minutes. So most Houses are either 10 or 16 Men plus the personell for special vehicles and Command. Big stations can easily have 30+ Men per shift.

[@bluemtnsman]

Hopefully your Thanksgiving is quiet. Some of the best videos on KZbin come from South Metro's PIO duet. Thank you muchly for all that you do.

[@MrDintimid8or]

What helmet is the firefighter on the left wearing at the 6:00 minute mark?

[@ecw0647]

I hesitate to display my ignorance, but could you explain the hose connections to the trucks, e.g. the large gray hose that breaks away when the truck leaves, and the two lines that appear to be electrical on the tender. Thanks.

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Great questions! The large gray hose is a vehicle exhaust vacuum that vents the hazardous fumes out of the building. All of the apparatus have auxiliary batteries to power things like radios and computers inside the truck, so they're plugged into an electrical shoreline in the station to keep the batteries charged and ready to go.
