*TWO CALLS* [RIDE ALONG] - South Metro Fire TOWER 18 & MEDIC 18 responding to medical call & MVA

Seen here is a Ride Along Video with South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) Tower 18 and Medic 18 for a sports injury at the Recreation Center of Highlands Ranch near Denver, Colorado. After the first call in this video it took several hours until a traffic accident was reported at the corner of Broadway and Highlands Ranch Parkway that evening. At the scene, only very minor damage was found to two cars, so the crew was able to move back in seconds after the recording ended.
When I made this video back in 2018 this unit used to be Littleton Fire Rescue Tower 18. In January 2019, almost three years ago, LFR & SMFR merged to one huge department, so I decided to choose "South Metro" for the title. Check out my other videos from Colorado and the United States!

A big thank you goes to the crew of fire station 18, who made an unforgettable day possible for me. Thank you very much guys!

2:59 love the diesel roaring 🔥

[@oldtabrough1026]

I must say I like the colour combinations on these trucks, especially the black paint, it complements the dark red colour instead of the usual bright red colour

[@LordLucariosLair]

There's better view from the cabin than I thought there would be, with that bucket on the front.

[@lukemill795]

2:44 that person in the left turn lane didn't even seem to care. People are just careless and it shows. Atleast move out of the lane. Love the tower though. Really beautiful tower truck.

[@PierceFan]

I need to schedule a ride along somewhere! Awesome video!

[@sos650sos]

I wouldn’t want to ride behind a driver that is so bad behind the wheel. I mean this guy is just plain uncomfortable driving

[@southwestfirebuff132]

That's my dad's rig currently. Amazing video!

[@Firescue112]

Very nice! I love Tower 18 :D - Thank you very much :)

[@sos650sos]

Horrible driver !!!

[@JackDochers]

Oh my goodness Tower 18 is beautiful

[@Firescue112]

It is!!

[@BlaulichtLeipzig]

Sehr schönes Ding. Ich kann mir total vorstellen, wie cool sich das angefühlt haben muss :)

[@Firescue112]

Danke dir! Ja, das war definitiv das Highlight schlechthin :D

the guy sitting in the back behind the officers seat went to EMT school with me

[@Firescue112]

That's cool! He's a nice one :D

[@emspeers7725]

@@Firescue112 oh absolutely. He's a good dude. I am glad to see him working at such a great department (which obviously is now merged with another great department). He totally deserves it.

I didnt know south metro was doing ride alongs right now, was it boring having to wait for a call to come in?

[@Firescue112]

The video was made in 2018, so it is not really up to date. It was certainly not boring, there were enough firefighters with whom you could talk :D

[@ukemergencyvideos3335]

Nice! How easy was it to arrange and carry out?

[@Firescue112]

Veeeery easy :D - I was there for a total of two days. On the first day, during a guided tour of the fire station, a call came in and the crew said I could just go along (this video emerged from it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqeZloh4p794qNU). On the second day, I had to fill out a form, but then I was also directly with them (although I only wanted to briefly let them know that I was recording response videos).

[@ukemergencyvideos3335]

@@Firescue112 Ah that's cool! Might have to try and arrange something at some point then!

[@Sharkacy]

I am super confused on how he is controlling the Q siren... where is he doing it??

[@eastcoastfiretrucks1837]

There’s typically a foot pedal on both the engineer and officer’s side so either one can push it down and make the sound.

[@waeller.rescue]

😎👍

[@davenelson-xk6oc]

why the the ladder truck out on this call could you not have found manpower else were?

[@CH-fk5tk]

South Metro has quite a few Ladder only stations. So if it’s in that area. What else are you going to send? A lot of departments are going to Quint only formats. My Department has two stations and two ladders. No engines.

[@SethMaxx1994]

How did you get permisson to ride with them

[@Firescue112]

They invited me, when I came in to visit the station :)

[@SethMaxx1994]

@@Firescue112 Ima vist all of the stations one day

[@blaulichtspotter_paul]

Cool als ob du da mitfahren durftest in Deutschland muss man für ein Unternehmen arbeiten das man da überhaupt mitfahren dürfte

[@Firescue112]

Ach, in Amerika ist das zum Glück total entspannt. Auf der Wache habe ich insgesamt vier Einsätze an zwei Tagen begleitet, am ersten Tag konnte ich einfach so aufspringen, am zweiten Tag musste ich immerhin vorher ein Dokument unterschreiben :D

[@blaulichtspotter_paul]

@@Firescue112 cool

[@sos650sos]

Driver of the truck is very uncomfortable and uncoordinated behind the wheel. Getting handcuffed doing a simple maneuver with a very small amount of turning just going around traffic is not what I’m looking for in a driver. Yikes.
