On this Fleet Friday we ride along with Reserve Engine 33 to an MVA and get an apparatus tour with Engineer Freyta.
Video captured by PIO Eric Hurst and Film Intern Davin Hendee.

New drinking game...every time he says front line engine, take a drink. hahaha. all seriousness that is a nice reserve rig!

[@marylandemergencyresponses]

😂facts

[@youmadbro742]

I was drunk about 30 seconds in

[@seansims5839]

Love the engineer POV. Would love to see more of that.

[@LiamPattisonPhotography]

Awesome episode. Dave was a fantastic host for this Fleet Friday. Was touching hearing his story about his late Captain and the relationship he was with E33. I also really enjoyed the “helmet” cam footage of that response at the start, I think that should be something you guys do more often. Great video South Metro!

[@marknelson2846]

33s is our neighborhood firehouse...great video. Love the patch on the shirt...looks great.

[@LakesRegionEmergencyPhoto]

Hope this rig sticks around for awhile. Love the old school rotators, just a really cool truck over all.

[@rescue1railfan904]

I would love to see more responding videos like at the beginning! It was awesome to watch! Maybe a new series 🤷‍♂️ great video cant wait to watch more!

[@TurtleGaming2021]

I absolutly love watching these old engines!

[@MrJRod891]

This was very informative and he explains things so well! Also a nice fun fact that he started out on this exact engine and now 10 years later he's driving it!

[@evelynlewislewis4371]

I have a husband that is a firefighter. I'm so proud of him. Serving and saving lives every single day.

[@newyorker3766]

Very informative video. Excellent job explaining things in a professional manner. Thank you for your time. Thanks for your time you use to help people.

[@hornydevil1117]

damn, this is above and beyond for a Reserve engine. color me impressed!

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Thank you!

[@owensweetland342]

Make your presence known; take command of the street. 👍🏻👍🏻🤙😎✌

[@firefighterfan2010]

That reserve engine is a beast!

[@Jacob-mm8xq]

Sweet truck, defiantly a cram for space. Shows how nice these new rigs really are.

[@mauricemotors8207]

It makes them appreciative

[@SD45-ET44AC]

My first rig I rode on was a 1961 American LaFrance, with a straight drive, had to watch your fingers when shifting towards the dash otherwise they would get smashed. Best rig to take a driving test on.

[@benrobinette3268]

You cant beat the old lights the new ones are amazing and all that but the old ones the way they look is amazing especially onscene

[@eggshell3785]

Finally my favourite SMFR rig im so happy rn

[@plant_trees_kg]

My favorite part was the footage responding to the scene starting @1:50 !! More of that please + on scene helmet cam footage! Love the content! Thanks!

[@stud88100]

Great video. He explained things so well and how it was different from the rig that they use now as compared to back then. Nice job, very well done

[@franklewis6943]

Best feature on this rig is the old school FedSig AeroDynic. Best feature of this video is the shout out to Freeman. Salty dogs never fully die; they simply seed their crust on the young pups.

[@familyfrick4115]

I love it

[@familyfrick4115]

i love this video

[@samdown6889]

Beautiful reserve engine

[@x2bros356]

Hello, I went to station 34 a couple years ago and I saw the 33 and reminded me of 34

[@mauricemotors8207]

Old e ones are nice especially with the 60 series Detroit we still have some left but sadly are gone

[@NotEthanNorbury]

Now that a beautiful light setup

[@langgillen7335]

The Captain I believe he said has a glorious mustache!

[@theOiOis]

i´m currently riding on a 1999 Cyclon II Engine at a military base here in Germany, Some small differences on our pumper to be compatible to the german hydrants and local national fire departments for municipal aid. To be honest ours is a bit more worn out since it is in frontline service for more than 20 years now.

[@holydiver757]

Need a reserve fleet Friday

[@brettdunlop5212]

Well done!!

[@CoryAY82383]

interesting to see reserve rigs

[@stevejones5824]

Captain has a great moustache 😀

[@Thompsonae]

Caaaaptain, Fleet took our engine agaaaain

[@jsuperman7672]

Old School, Oh Yeah

[@dillion241]

I am engineer on engine 12

[@NeilM01989]

Nice, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🚒

[@gustavo1356-k9m]

Buenos dias les mando saludos desde puerto morelos quintana roo México soy paramedico rescatista y bombero

[@raleighncfirebuff6773]

You all should do reserved ladder-12 next. Ive always been a very big fan of that truck

[@jimmyfox0219]

Wow tech engine. Love it.

[@patrickhickey6731]

Aw reserve fleet!!!

[@mauricemotors8207]

I work for a fleet for a city fire dept we have mostly spartan,Ferrara and some e ones left.

[@ryanwhipple7275]

Fleet friday on a spare arial ladder?

[@American-pl8fo]

4:27 found the same captain from the bailout training

[@MB12116]

What equipment (if any) is stored on the reserve and what needs to be transferred from the front line?

[@truckingoperator]

I wish I lived closer I would definitely apply

[@iandeharo8666]

I just want to say that south metro fire rescue really rocks and I have one question how do you guys plan your ride alongs

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Thank you! Ride along information is available at this link - www.southmetro.org/610/Ride-Alongs

[@MB12116]

Great video! Can you do the 07 pierce truck next?!

[@austinrodriguez2484]

Reserve truck fleet Friday please 🙏🏻

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

The reserve Ladder and a reserve Sutphen Tower are on our list!

[@nmc1126]

E-One is a great manufacturer. A lot of departments are either going too or going back to E-One! Maybe South Metro will order some new E-Ones! But I’m sure Pierce will be the main manufacturer that South Metro will stay with!

[@illinoisoutlaw2197]

pre-emissions apparatus is the best thing. Less issues for sure

[@user-ni9sz7bd3p]

帅

[@tannerruby8292]

Awesome!! Can you do a video on Operation chiefs/ special Ops!!

[@trucksortrainsnation]

Yeah do a fleet Friday episode of reserve ladder 12 but my question is can we do a request for a fleet Friday video

[@Cutlass1990]

We are looking to get some numbers made for our apparatus like the ones you use on the reserve engines. Where do you get them or what are they called? TIA

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

They're homemade by SMFR Fleet. Montgomery County, MD has a cool variation on their reserve apparatus with flip up numbers.

[@Cutlass1990]

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO thank you we should get our mechanics to do that

[@newyorkstaterp6316]

I just realized Connor has been missing where did she go

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Connor was promoted to a new position called Executive Communications Manager. In that role her focus is on internal communications but sometimes she still covers as an on-call PIO.

[@CRAKHEADSonLaSalle]

Much better than all that pierce garbage you guys have 👍🏾

[@stueyexmcfd]

Do those number plates slide in and out?

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Yes, every station has number plates they can slide in when they're using a reserve apparatus.

[@jacobh3594]

what is the oldest reserve ambulance?

[@t.brothers1]

What happens if an apparatus is out of service and all of the reserves are in use?

[@MB12116]

They probably pull the rig out of service and move the staff from that rig to other rigs. But honestly that would be very rare. In our department in CA, they keep a handful of fully equipped rigs that can be up staffed during a major emergency. Also, it is likely they could borrow a rig from Denver or a neighboring department.

[@ethandunlop7395]

They would use a one of the training Engines if anything before asking a department to borrow a rig.

[@marylandemergencyresponses]

Borrow one ☝️ from somewhere but pretty sure they have enough spares

[@MB12116]

@@ethandunlop7395 I think the training rigs are looped into the reserve rig category. But this would be so rare

[@mauricemotors8207]

We’ll it depends how Houston fire does it if one is out of service we have a good amount of reserve ladders,pumpers,towers

[@bettysmith4527]

Well hellooooo there Dave 😍

[@donmedrano85]

Whats up with that crosslay?

[@trucksortrainsnation]

And I was correct station 33 does have a medic

[@calvinvance3399]

What's the song at the beginning?

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

"Shut up and Take My Money" by Dominik Schwarzer

[@karstendoerr5378]

Technology is only as good as the person who built it and the person who operates it. Behind everything are people. That is why it is good when there are people who help others. It does not necessarily have to be in the fire department, any help to the next is good and needed.

[@matthewgreener7069]

If the reserve is called Engine 33 and it’s at station 33, then what’s the call sign for the frontline engine?

[@marylandemergencyresponses]

Same engine 33

[@pauludulutch4353]

41 or 42 times he said it.

[@Mylifeshortsontop]

What’s wrong with engine33?

[@Belchmaster41]

it had to go in for maintenance

[@rashonmurray9228]

"our frontline is getting work done to the body"

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

It’s almost like he said it in the beginning 😂

[@notlisted-cl5ls]

all the ink.......wats in yer ears? oh well, guess public employees should look as reedickyoulous as the public they deal with.
