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.

[@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

[@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.....

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@AureliusR]

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

[@iamshevanel]

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

[@trevorsmathers9952]

Love the ride alongs!!!!

[@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

[@jer789610]

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

[@some0ne8]

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

Also station 34???

That would be cool for an idea

[@matthewassell6471]

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

[@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.

[@bradly7157]

I would love to see a Sit a long with metcomm

[@NVConservative]

Great vlog, need more of these.

[@ianmaczito1337]

Do some more of these style videos. These are great

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

[@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.

[@kylenugent9187]

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

[@GameNOWRoom]

7:38 We never do this but this is a great idea.

[@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. 😊❤️🇺🇸

When is fleet Friday coming out

[@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?

Your smile is so beautiful 😃

Happy Thanksgiving connor and eric

[@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?

[@bigtonka494]

Hey connor and Eric , I Live in Camden County Georgia and my father is a fireman up here , i was wondering if you already have a patch from CCFR or not cause id love to send one in for you to add to the wall !!!

[@tannerb4109]

AMAZING!!! I love it when you guys do ridealongs. You guys should do a livestream ride-along!!! But, I mean I get the HIPPA regulations, but still maybe do more ride-along's?? Question for Eric- Since your a certified firefighter and stuff, when you do ride-along's do you help on calls since your certified and such? Just curious! :-)

[@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

Cool ridealong

[@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

[@jay2659]

@2:50 , Where did he get that custom red line face mask ?

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?
