That can be a very stressful job with various ups and downs. Multitasking is an absolutely essential skill, with triage over the phone to provide the best care possible over a phone. They are a support person for someone who is going through a traumatic event in their life, they are literally the lifeline for those in the community. Being able to flex and deal with a dynamic situation as it develops. Just a lot of responsibility because if they don't get it right people, including firefighters could die. SMFR has some of the best dispatchers. Great video of behind-the-scenes heroes at work.

This is a place I would have loved to work at and for! I started dispatching (Public Safety) fulltime in 1988 and left in 2015. I have a background in working as both an FF and a police officer. I still love dispatching the best because we are involved, for the most part, from the start to the end of any incident. I would have moved the 1,000 miles to work for a center like this one. I like the channel so I subscribed.

Awesome Video. Since Connor Is New To The Fire Side. I'd Like To See Her Ride With Some Of Your Busier Units and Get Her Take On Things.

Peter Lokey you do realise that Conner isn’t actually a firefighter she is just a PIO officer

@@jamesevans938 I'm very aware of that. That's why i think it would be both educational for her and make a good video for us.
@poohbearmom645 жыл бұрын
I agree with Peter in thinking that PIO Connor might get some interesting experiences on a ride along 😃 She def could video record her time on the ride along and thereby share her experiences with us 😃

being a firefighter looks like a lot of fucking fun. nowhere near as much adrenaline but shit crawling through burning buildings full of fire hacking at doors and pulling people out, that's something I could get into

Love how dispatch has a fire alarm set... do alarms go to the dispatch or a fire station? Does it depend?
@spike59025 жыл бұрын
What are the Red lights above the dispatcher's station for? Something to do with call types or the time limits to answer?

Where in the world is South Metro?
@dalepratt97075 жыл бұрын
South Metro is a consolidated fire department that is made up of Parker Fire Department, Littleton Fire Department, Cunningham Fire District.... These are all in the Denver metro area, just south of Denver Colorado..... Hopefully that helps.... Metcom is the dispatch center than takes care of South Metro Fire along with several other smaller agencies of the front range of Denver
