Station Saturday - Firehouse 38

On this Station Saturday we visit Firehouse 38 in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. This firehouse was first opened by Cherry Hills Fire Protection District which later merged with Castlewood Fire District in 1989. Castlewood became South Metro in 1999.

Seriously one of the highest-functioning fire departments I've encountered. Great humor in this one. Way to have pride and have fun!

Thank you!

38 you totally raised Station Saturday to a whole new level -- We will see if anybody can come close to your style in the video.

[@edmundsenterprises9786]

These guys are a crack up! The butler, the eagle, doormats and mad scientists.. This house knows how to have fun 👍👍

[@lucadventures1278]

As a French firefighter, one of the first thing that strikes me is how proud you are of your fire stations in the US. You have great buildings and equipment, you know it and you take care of it. In France, such a webseries wouldn't be possible. Most firehouses are old and the equipment barely works, if it works at all. We are not proud of our buildings and I would say that most firemen don't care about what they have at the station, it's more a "place of work" than a "second home", which is kinda sad since we spend a third of our life there. Also, it is good to see that you have separate lockers for shifts which doesn't need any lockpad to prevent other shifts stealing stuff ! Wouldn't be possible here as well, you let something in an unsecure place ? Not yours anymore ! What a pity... I'm rarely commenting KZbin vids but I like seeing you guys sharing the beautiful values of our job, keep up the good work

[@Walk_Off_0311]

this is a rarity most fire stations are complete garbage in the us

[@colbyh.4933]

@@Walk_Off_0311 Idk what fire stations you've been to but the vast majority are nice. At least when it comes to larger cities and urban areas where the departments are paid.

[@Sucknutz_]

@@colbyh.4933 exactly, high paid cities. Which is less than 20% of most fire districts that protect the United States.

[@0zzyninja]

heh. I'm in Aus. most episodes would be of people rubbishing the higher-ups for making bullshit decisions.

[@marksmadhousemetaphysicalm2938]

Most larger paid EMS and Fire stations are very nice and well maintained and there is definitely a sense of family…I was a paramedic captain before I was badly injured in an accident…our company wasn’t nearly as rich as these guys but we were still well taken care of…and we helped others…I enjoyed working EMS…the biggest problem is most of the country relies on volunteers…they’re just as skilled in most cases but the demand for training keeps increasing and fewer and fewer people have the time or resources to train. It’s a problem that needs to be addressed. It’s a problem of cost as always…most of the country won’t put the money into what’s needed…the more urban areas have to…

[@jnelsoninjax]

Love the little things that snuck in this video! The butler, and the eagle making 3 appearances!

[@nickw3539]

That eagle randomly peeking in had me dying 😂

[@AKA20PEARLZ01]

Just a 911 dispatcher from Florida showing so love.

[@charliemoorejr.]

Thank you for all that you do 😀👏🏿!

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Thanks for watching and thank you for your service!

[@QemeH]

Gotta love a station that was "planned for" more than the current complement. It's the only time you actually have the space you need. I'm currently working out of a two-bay station with three rigs and it's a daily challenge to find storage for the simplest of things - not to even mention the gladiatorial fight that goes on to determine who gets an actual bed and who has to sleep on the couch...

[@CL-bw6rx]

Think y’all will ever post the run stats for each individual unit(s) again? Kinda enjoyed seeing those!

[@gabeg.5310]

Amen!

[@baylorsmith5610]

This department is beyond stellar. Lotta pride and ownership flows thru this agency.

[@Jacob-mm8xq]

Lol, loved the eagle and the butler, and its a very nice station

[@robertkerner4833]

Very nicely done, glad to see they had fun with it..

[@davidfix7340]

Yep... this definitely took the Station Saturday series to the next level... Well Done!

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Thank you!

[@Lynchie9000]

Awesome video. One of the best Station Saturdays so far. Love the humor that was added in with the Eagle, the butler and the scientists doing the experiments in the radio room. Such a nice and well laid out station. They are so lucky that the firefighters have their own bedrooms and bathrooms. Has to be one of the nicest stations. SMFR keep up the good work.

[@poohbearmom64]

Very well done video tour 👍 such a nicely laid out station 👍 interesting that this building is shared by 2 different First Responder Departments . Thanks Eric for sharing this

[@rickhoward2938]

Awesome job, great seeing how crazy a station house can be, building their own Eagle's "nest".

[@alphaholloway]

Literally my dream station to work. Unfortunately I’m in California but would love to go on a ride along with any department there

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

We've got staff and firefighters that come from out of state to work at SMFR! (including California!)

The firefighter with the eagle mask was funny

[@marknelson2846]

Loved the stuff happening in the background, guys!! Super video!

Hahaha the eagle head messed with me in the window first at around 6mins. Then ya see buddy sitting on the bed, that’s great! lol

[@hammerlane3871]

This has to be the funniest station Saturdays I've ever seen 🤣

Definitely was the servant and the eagle😂

Where to start Station 38 have to say the other stations have to step it up a bit. One of the best and funny tours way to go. Makes an old FF feel young again seeing your PRIDE and enthusiasm.

I know the "butler" at the beginning of the video was meant as a joke and I did find it funny. But if you watch enough of the awesome content SMFR puts out, it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn the department has that much money that they are doing a trial of in station butlers.

[@robkosier414]

You can thank weed sales for that

[@TheHastingsumc]

Remember the size of the department is one of the largest in Colorado which requires them to have enough experience and equipment to handle anything, The overall miles is huge for this department. they have to experts in all of the cutting edge items. Those served by SMFD is lucky to have them and they use the funds wisely

[@bobbybechtel4396]

@@TheHastingsumc It’s a very high quality FD that is also very well funded. Unfortunately other FDs around the US in larger metro areas such as Detroit, Philly, Baltimore, etc. aren’t as fortunate to be as well equipped or funded.

[@cmcer1995]

I guess this confirms the rumor about little green men. That's a very nice facility. Nice to have the police available too. Now that's what I call service a nice cup of coffee to start the review, I mean really nice service there. Sounds like a capable Engine. Nice that they are going to update your Hazmat apparatus. Nice coincidence since I left a comment on little green men earlier. Two side-out will be an awesome way to create more workspace. It's amazing what they will allow you to keep in your bedrooms too. Nice donations too. Nice Bird coffee mugs available. I see there is a real need for a Hazmat vehicle there too. That gym is awesome, I just think some of those wall hangings would be a real distraction. Great review with a "little" humor thrown in.

[@loopylucas]

Can we get a day in a life of the hazmat team please?

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Since Hazmat 38 is cross-staffed by Engine 38 it would be more of a day in the life of the Engine crew. Hazmat incidents don't occur frequently enough to guarantee an actual hazardous materials response.

[@loopylucas]

Has the department decided on what the new hazmat or hamer will be. Like pierce, spartan seagrave e-one etc

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

Yes, the new Hazmat 38 will be a custom walk-in command body built by SVI on an International chassis. It will be very similar to this www.svitrucks.com/winnipeg-mb-can-hazmat-1146/

[@joshw1687]

Then random things in the background or the "server" at the start was funny

[@lonepeakfirebuff]

How intriguing! Will the Haz Mat rig become a reserve unit after replaced?

[@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO]

The current plan includes Hazmat 38 becoming Hazmat 17, and Hazmat 17 will become a support vehicle, possibly housed at the Logistics Warehouse. The new Hazmat 38 should be delivered around the end of 2023.
