Snowy Ride Along - Vlog 34

On this vlog Connor and Eric spend a day riding along during a snow storm and Connor responds to an early morning auto shop fire in Parker.

[@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.

[@brucebaugh47]

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

[@nigelwilliams3616]

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

[@jamieround2072]

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

[@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!!!

[@kenkohl8954]

Just stumbled onto your vlog. Wow, excellent work. Having spent almost a decade with Evergreen Fire Rescue and Physicians Ambulance now way too old to be crawling into burning buildings I'm really loving the snowy Colorado ride alongs.

[@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

[@iamshevanel]

You guys are awesome! Looks like an extremely professional dept, and a great place to be.

[@JPrenticeParton]

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

[@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!

[@ratclit]

love the ride alongs! thanks for keeping colorado safe :)

[@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.

[@Maxi_Shubert]

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

[@ColoradoFireBuff]

Hey guys! It’s Samuel. You should do a battalion chief ride along. That would be cool.

[@eastbayrockets8683]

I know a ride along will be cool. I will like it to see a ride along

[@ranginrobert5455]

They ain't gotta batallion chief

[@ColoradoFireBuff]

@@ranginrobert5455 Yea they do. Are you even from South Metro?? Every department has a chief.

[@ranginrobert5455]

@@ColoradoFireBuff I run south metro idiot! Been here 27 years

[@hihfty]

@@ranginrobert5455 If your going to pretend to work for a department at least know what your talking about. South metro has 5 battalion chiefs. District 1 is the overall shift commander with the 5 other chiefs supervising there individual battalion. District 1 also has a district of his own in which he would be first due.

These are great high quality videos! Thank you for making them! Keep it up. From Northern CA - Chico Police Department

[@williamlacombe3501]

Great video as always! Stay safe out there.

[@ryanmichaud2363]

Video popped up on my recommended feed. Glad it did!

[@AureliusR]

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

[@CaptainPlays]

PLEASE DO THESE RIDEALONGS EVERY WEEK

[@AllMi3htykid]

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

[@hydrosprayandcustoms4250]

Love seeing station 34 my grandpa worked there a few years back used to go visit him there all the time!

[@NVConservative]

Great vlog, need more of these.

[@arrowkart4j]

Found your channel by accident. Very cool. I subscribed. Keep up the good work.

[@hobbsfamily2705]

Thanks for the ride along

[@adventuretonothingness7554]

i watched this video before and it was the first video i saw today when i opened youtube this vlogs and fleet fridays always make my day better

[@matthewassell6471]

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

[@ianmaczito1337]

Do some more of these style videos. These are great

[@DJGamingDarionTV]

Awesome video, enjoyed it great work 🚒🚒🚒🔥🚑 Happy Thanksgiving

[@travelfan0011]

Loved this video!

[@codybuie5932]

Awesome video guys, live watching what south metro is up to and it’s good training on incidents that you run on! Also how can I send a patch?

[@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.

[@Brisbanebasedphotography5185]

Hey SMFR PIO!!!! Greetings from Queensland Australia!! Just want to let you know that your videos are awesome and very informative!!

[@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.

[@jakefromstatefarm276]

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

[@Natedog5400Studios]

Honestly love the ride along bit. Do more of it if possible

[@bm7151]

You should schedule these AT LEAST once a month. They're AMAZING!

[@jasonyoder7606]

I love to watch your ride along

[@kylenugent9187]

I really appreciate the videos that you two produce. Did you two work on the line before going into the PIO role?

[@user-ot4tj3co1h]

Украина.Черкассы.Машины у вас👍.Одно заглядение! Люди все позитивные.Спасибо за видео.Удачи в вашей работе!

[@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. 😊❤️🇺🇸

[@idkmantbh]

I live in northern California in the mountains across the street from my FD and they have told me the most common calls they get are Residential Fires, and car accidents.

[@lindanwfirefighter4973]

Tanker 34 is gorgeous! Goodness!

[@jer789610]

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

[@some0ne8]

And Vlog 17 has Engine 17 in the thumbnail I think.

[@S.W633]

Noah ur right

[@HAMSTER17482]

Jeremy Bell is there another engine I hope there’re is engine 35

[@ellifent]

Also station 34???

[@haleighgambrazzio2031]

That would be cool for an idea

[@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.

[@sarahlynd19]

You Eric and Connor Great pio officers and keep up the hard work

[@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?

[@kameronsmith5434]

And I hope that yall will be safe and happy

[@maxbzambrana9725]

I love how they eat together

[@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?

[@domenikcalderon-bauers5406]

Also beautiful trucks!

[@CO.Boynton]

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

[@giancarlobadilla6096]

I can relate to this since I live in Toronto, Canada! 🇨🇦

[@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.

definitely need way more ride along videos

[@Tbird1549]

Awesome tower!

[@pinellascountyfirerescue9646]

When is fleet Friday coming out

[@Nectarking]

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.

[@Mr_tank1]

It looks too cold the hero firefighters are doing their best jobs and another great video

[@PeterLokey]

Awesome Video,

[@zacharyflores2317]

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

[@T_RexDino]

Do you see a large issue with station floor damage due to the chains? Also I see they pull the power cord, does the department not have auto eject?

[@willlewis8340]

hey Connor and Eric , how heavy rescues does south metro have ? and does south metro have any light rescue squads ?

[@michaelt.9372]

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

[@carterkillorn7328]

Do they have tire chains on front to? Also does the fire truck have 4 wheel drive?

[@badgergod99]

I know Command 3 use to be stationed at station 34. Where did that get moved off too?

[@ljmike1204]

do the tank trucks have a heated water tank to prevent freezing ?

[@Fatcat-racing]

And nice job filming it looks good

[@ThePatrickm20]

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 👍🏽
