Connor, Congratulation on your wedding and honeymoon. Carmel-By-The-Sea is where i went to high school and is still one of my favorite places in California, even though I now reside in San Diego.

[@joshua9567]

[@joshua9567]

@@Khloe1014-m4b when you came... It was up 48 hours early.

[@lukefourness6093]

Glad to see my Rudolph FD finally on the show! I'm the one that sent that patch in

[@travis4445]

I just wanted to clarify for the CA Dept of Corrections patch the "Eureka" is the state motto not the office. Its Greek for "I found it" which dates back to the miners of CA. I love your videos you guys do a great job.

[@torontofirebuff8004]

Can't wait for the day in the life of a battalion chief! I am also suggesting a day in the life of a PIO!

[@JacksonRB]

The person that wasnt located was one of my friends. He was a good guy. Miss the man alot. Aric Was a hilarious dude there was one class period where he stole a projector and speakers.

[@locdogwitd9]

Is he alive?

[@ethan5354]

Thoughts go out to the family of the swimmer, that’s very tragic.

[@Is0Yair]

I’ll wait here patiently for it to start 🙂

[@mikailnowinsky2309]

I skip the intro, I literally know exactly how long to skip it 😂

[@Badbhoys]

Mikail Nowinsky 1:00

[@invalidcactus76]

Exactly lol

[@leonardomiguelguerrero]

Mis saludos cordiales desde Córdoba Argentina 🇦🇷

[@emtp424]

Well done! So glad every rescuer made it back home at Chatfield. I responded to many calls there when West Metro had the contract. It’s a great park but you video reminds me of how brutal the lake becomes in seconds. I always don a life vest and you showed why well. Divers and rescuers train for that and that lake takes what it wants without warning. Crews did well. Brutal. Eric you’re the best PIO ever in the US Fire service! Really built a great system and added strength to SMFR! Congrats Connor on wedding bells and super well said commentary!

[@louis3232]

Would it be possible to do a video that goes over all the uniforms and the differences between them in depth?

[@paulthorpe3779]

G'day, Thank you for the fantastic job you have been doing for South Metro.This is so great I think others could benefit from learning about it. So I introduce your VLog's into my own Fire and Rescue Media team. UAV team (RPAS for Australia) fleet Friday would be outstanding

[@MatthewUSR]

I am happy Conner is back

[@powerstrokediesels7824]

Matthew Lucas she is pretty

[@troytrotter9751]

@SouthMetroFireRescuePio Eric and Connor great job on the videos. Hope you are both doing well!

[@mikel9567]

That boat that capsized was overloaded. We recently had a police boat capsize in Puget Sound back in November. One of the officers did not survive and to this day his body has not been located.

[@jamarcuthbertson2513]

Big fan of you guys ! And are we going to see anymore of the station Saturday’s really enjoyed the first one

[@matthewhalliburton8534]

hello everyone in the south metro I would like to say Hi to my favourite PIO Connor it is good to see you back on the south metro fire and rescue PIO vlog I hope you are feeling better the firefighter women teach us, men how good that they can drive better the us men you go girl

[@brentbedsaul4259]

I love your videos I really like the day in the life videos when we you get to see the station life and the calls they go on

[@troyoberholtzer8898]

South Metro Pio are awesome

[@alfredinglesby6489]

I live in Greensboro NC. My son Brycen collected stuffed animals for our neighborhood fire station four.

[@techdad7695]

You guys rock... love watching all your vlogs... where can I get a smfr patch/ challenge coin?

[@chrisfairfield1929]

Y'all should create a PIO page on your website and post the received patches. :)

[@GlobalTravelvideo]

Hello SMFR PIO and I like Connor and Eric and I’m a big fan of SMFR PIO

[@jonahdrake2474]

I'd like to see "A Day In The Life of A Saftey Officer"

[@hammondjorand77]

Me too

[@aaronmadden4546]

Jonah Drake they said that will be happening

[@jonahperry6103]

just posted last night

[@sethr109]

CONNOR IS BACK!! YAY!

[@matthewassell6471]

I was there on Sunday!

[@matthewassell6471]

Aiden mmm it was really sad

[@jimmybolf2001]

Photographer?

[@MatthewUSR]

I can't wait for the video to start

[@dwntwnproductions]

I love this channel!!

[@sealectric9962]

Great video are you guys going to do another fire station tour video?

[@lionelcannady8665]

The wait was worth it i no that much whos with me

[@firerescue2283]

My department has a road called Catfish Lake Road. It’s very dangerous and most calls that happen there are fatal

[@zhangjohn9344]

Great video. If you have interest in an unmanned water surface vehicle that can assist you on the mission ?

[@QemeH]

For an english native (and the struggle y'all have with the german R ;)) Conor pronounced the german town name rather well. Eric meanwhile butchered the name horribly :D But to be fair, the TH is bound to throw off english natives. Just imagine the H not being there and you'll get closer.

[@abigailtrainor]

Carmel by the sea is a neat place!

[@santosvelez578]

Got a good video you got pretty good Department good job guys thank you Santos Vauxhall New Jersey

[@guntermartens759]

Nice Patches👍

[@braydenpowers7025]

You should do a Day In The Life of a SAFETY OFFICER

[@landonbozzer6887]

wondering what mailing address to sent patches to? I've got a couple from up here in British Columbia I'd like to send you! Thanks!

[@gsaldana22]

Land-locked cops probably driving the boat like barnies and flipped it.

[@navblue20]

You saw how rough that water was. You think you could have held it any better????

[@kathybanta4036]

How long does it usually take for an area that size to comeback from a fire?

[@epvfd]

I don’t live far from Judsonia or Nowco. Both are about 30 minutes north east of me

[@tannerlow7093]

Hey connor did you go to Big Sur? If so you should've gotten a patch from them

[@youtubevideoboy4986]

I live In Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. If and when I do get a WFPS (Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service) Patch I will send it and where can I find the PO Box whatever you guys use to get patches from others..

[@code3wnc944]

I was listening to the smfr pulse point all week for a recovery

[@-_Donut12_-]

I love these vids

[@markstanwood6910]

Good job on the water rescue

[@itisjambo]

[@powerstrokediesels7824]

Mark Stanwood who hasn’t

[@nataliegoodwin6314]

Good jobs

[@psychoangrydriversandpeopl8371]

Can we get a day in the life of the drone unit ?

[@Benjaminpio0808]

i think SMFR is the most busy department in Colorado?

[@legocitylife6734]

I love how they arent trying to monetise this

[@Habsification]

So was wondering, what exactly are challenge coins?

[@averye]

Is it just me or does the boat that capsized look like it has it's motor trimmed up, right before it happens

[@Wavepush]

I like the Season 1 intro music reel better

[@Benjaminpio0808]

and SMFR is mabey 1 of the most busy Fire department in USA??

[@samulica283]

More day in the life please

[@Badbhoys]

Interesting

[@michaelwelcher4918]

Do you guys use BLM or DNR as part of the initial response and mop up operations?

[@Spitfire8520]

None of the land that is within South Metro's jurisdiction is federal land, so BLM is not typically on an initial response. BLM may respond if the incident goes into extended attack and there becomes an extended attack with interagency resource requests. Colorado DNR is no longer responsible for fire suppression activities, those responsibly are now part of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control (DFPC) within the Department of Public Safety. They are also not requested for initial attack, but would likely be requested to assist before the BLM were on an extended attack incident. One of the agencies that South Metro assists regularly to the west does cover a lot of USFS land, so BLM can occasionally make an appearance on those fires on the USFS's request. As for mop up operations, if those resources are on scene, then they might be used for mop up operations . Most of the wildland fires in South Metro are grass and brush, so a majority of incidents do not make it past the first day and are therefore mopped up by the local crews. If an incident did get big enough to bring in state and interagency resources, then there isn't any reason not to use them for mop up other than trying to not inconvenience them as much as possible and allow them to return home as soon as possible as they are usually based far away in the mountains of Colorado.

[@Loodieful]

WOW

[@jarrythskeen8336]

Stay safe 👩🏼‍🚒⚕️

[@billfenner7084]

What ever happened to station Saturday?

[@TheGlxy]

[@Spitfire8520]

Brush Engine 41 (a Type 3 engine) is deployed with a three man crew on the Pine Gulch Fire.

[@ninjabugy]

[@shawnfogle6096]

[@zachypoo4700]

[@andrewswan2053]

And what is the next fleet Friday on

[@guygeer]

I like to have what can happen when your patches

[@rodneysanders5092]

Time for boat upgrade

[@marcoespinoza3468]

What is CRM 154 on pulse point

[@Spitfire8520]

Castle Rock Fire Department Medic 154. Castle Rock is one of the departments to South Metro's immediate south side and will provide automatic aid if South Metro needs units to respond. In return, South Metro also provide automatic aid to Castle Rock should they need the units. There is a roughly one mile stretch of I-25 where South Metro and Castle Rock units will often respond into each other's jurisdiction depending on the direction of travel.

[@redwhitebluepatriot6174]

Did you guys change your channel name?

[@Spitfire8520]

Yes. One of the questions that is frequently asked in the comments is, "Where is South Metro Fire Rescue?"
