This one was special for me. When my brother and I were in our grade school days our dad was a firefighter and was the fire investigator. With that experience, we were allowed to sit in on a bunch of his classes as we grew years later (17 -20) we both are in the fire service. Myself as a Fire Photographer on 2 departments and my brother who recently became a Training Division Chief on another department. Please keep up the great work and Thank You.
This is very cool 😎 I like how Scott uses clear descriptions while explaining what everything in his truck us , what it's used for and how it helps him 👍 Great episode 😃🚒
I am so glad you guys did this, I’ve been wanting to see your fire investigator vehicle and what all equipment. As a fire investigator myself this was informal! Thank you guys!!
Cody I'm looking into becoming my department's Lead fire investigator do you guys have to go to court? If it's a criminal case I've taken a basic case but it just hit on how to help a CFI whose on scene already am I going to have to go through any law enforcement training Because I've heard you guys can make arrest or is that just guys who work for the fire marshals office?
OK, gotta give you guys a big 👍🏼 for producing outstanding content. Well conceived, excellent production work - all 'round awesome job. Keep up the incredible work!
Hey guys, as always, love the videos. Could you possibly do one on the Safety Officer Vehicle? As a Safety Chief myself, would love to see what you guys are using and equipment being carried. Thanks for the great videos and sharing your stories. Stay safe and thanks again!
It is beautiful to see all the equipment they have to do their job properly. Each department speaks for itself. What impressed me the most besides the vehicle is the autonomous breathing equipment, a complete equipment and a reserve tank. Greetings to Scott and the entire South Metro team. Sorry for the english!
Great videos, one thing to recommend is using lapel mics so the audio of the person speaking doesn't go quiet and LOUD based on the position of the camera.
I've just seen the videos of the PIO's first on the scene of structure fires. Great job on the CAN report and size up by the way. My question is this: can the PIO respond to an emergency if they are the closest unit? As in do you have any BLS/first-aid equipment? By seeing the structure fire videos, I assume that you can just respond and do just as you did, give a CAN report, evacuate exposures, etc. What about motor-vehicle crashes and medical emergencies? Just a thought, love your videos!
Thank you great video. Does the fire investigator also do life saftey inspections of public occupanys just curious. Our call department here in New Hampshire we have a fire inspector that does both. I have had the privalge of going on occupany inspections its very intresting to see how that works i saw you had done a video on this already I forgot to ask thank you
i have seing ewery thing inside from a tiller truck to a engin. finely a fire investigator finely som new to know aboute thanks it whas rely intresting sir!
Idk if I’ve asked this before but do you guys plan on doing a fleet Friday for every apparatus/vehicle that SMFR has? Also I think a history of South Metro would be very interesting
Could you maybe make a video on how to setup a fire attack via horizontal standpipe in for instance the third floor of an apartment building? Show the different roles of the arriving firefighters, basic terminology, etc? Would love to see that as it is just another world for us. Greetings from an European firefighter. As you most probably know we do the same things very different here. 😁

After watching a lot of your videos i wanna be a firefighter so bad but sadly we dont have real Fire Departments in Denmark only volunteer firefighters
How do you become a Fire investigator? I am wondering do you need to have experience just as a Firefighter or do you need some type of Police Officer experience?
In many states Fire Investigators employed by a Fire Department are not sworn law enforcement but work very closely with them. Some states have Fire Investigators/Detectives assigned to the state level law enforcement agency and some states allow for Fire Departments to hire/train sworn Fire Investigators. It really just varies state to state and agency to agency. Many of the departments with sworn Fire Investigators do not require that they carry their firearm unless they are performing an arrest.
I was about to ask this question when I saw you ask it. I am also from California and yes call fire prevention officers have the same authority as it California Highway patrol as their jurisdiction is the entire state of California. It is rare but I have seen calfire pull people over for a traffic in fractions
I'd like to pose a hypothetical question for anyone to answer. I had a close call with a cell phone charger starting a small fire and it got me thinking. I was still awake when it started and I managed to get the fire out immediately. If I had been asleep and woken up to a growing fire, would closing the bedroom door and spraying an extinguisher down the hallway as I evacuate make any sort of impact on the spread of the fire? To clarify, I'm assuming the fire would be too far advanced to re-enter the room and fight it with an extinguisher. However, would preemptively spraying chemical extinguisher in the room ahead of the fire have any real effect?
Some Fire Investigators have no fire service experience. An Fire "Investigator" can be taught without being a Firefighter or Police Officer. Lots of education and training!
Just out of curiosity why does a fire investigator need lights and sirens if he's not putting out the fire or going to an emergency because surely investigating the fire isn't an emergency because he can't do anything until the fire has nearly out or is out I could be wrong I was just curious
I know a few local agencies here in Colorado like Aurora and Denver make there investigators go through the POST academy and have full powers of arrest.
We are considered "law enforcement officers" by Colorado law while conducting an investigation. We have the power to start an arrest procedure, if an arrest is warranted, as well file the case. But, we rely on our local police and sheriff partnerships to help us conduct the "physical" aspects of those detainment's. We are not armed at this time.
Last I checked I don't know of any fire fighters that carry two 45s on their back I've only ever seen them carry one 45 what I was taught 15 minutes to get in 15 to get out 15 in case shit goes sideways
I have been waiting on this since fleet Friday started.
Same

Thank you for taking time out of your day to do this Scott! You have a very cool job

I can see now the lights flashing in my eyes
I am so glad you guys did this, I’ve been wanting to see your fire investigator vehicle and what all equipment. As a fire investigator myself this was informal! Thank you guys!!
Informal or informative?
0zzyninja either or still means the same but informal does have different meanings

Looks slick!
I seen you guys at denver south metro area with that truck. Very cool
An episode on scene during an investigation would be interesting too.

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO thank you
This is so cool I'm hoping to become a firefighter than become a fire investigator once I'm fit enough to do the job and go through the academy.
Can you do a segment on what is all the equipment the fire fighters wear on their turnout gear?
Could you maybe make a video on how to setup a fire attack via horizontal standpipe in for instance the third floor of an apartment building?
Show the different roles of the arriving firefighters, basic terminology, etc?
Would love to see that as it is just another world for us.

QUESTION... if this is a Ford F-150, What kind of bed cover is the with read doors and no standard pickup truck bed drop down?
How does someone become a investigator in CO? My uncle became one after being fire marshal. Really cool science in that line of work! Stay safe
Are there any South metro stations that have a engine company and a ladder company in one station? And if not why is that?

How do you become a Fire investigator? I am wondering do you need to have experience just as a Firefighter or do you need some type of Police Officer experience?
Harley Quinnzel most states require both but look up you’re state/fire investigation requirements.

Does he not carry a firearm or a sworn peace officer? Here in California fire/arson investigators carry and are sworn peace officers.
In many states Fire Investigators employed by a Fire Department are not sworn law enforcement but work very closely with them. Some states have Fire Investigators/Detectives assigned to the state level law enforcement agency and some states allow for Fire Departments to hire/train sworn Fire Investigators. It really just varies state to state and agency to agency. Many of the departments with sworn Fire Investigators do not require that they carry their firearm unless they are performing an arrest.

It is rare but I have seen calfire pull people over for a traffic in fractions
How soon after the fire does the investigator rock up?
Sometimes while the fire is still going, sometimes after...it just depends.
How many engine/truck/medic/brush/maybe tower are there? Do you guys have tower units? What are they for?
Ryan Wen South Metro has 22 engines, 6 towers, 19 medics, 5 battalion chiefs and others units
Day in the life of a investigator
Is it a take home vehicle
Yes
do you guys carry firearm ??
Can you take us though a fire investigation
There are many examples of a fire investigation on the internet. We all follow the basic rules of the "scientific method".
My uncle is a fire investigator

to become a Investigator how many years of FF need?
Some Fire Investigators have no fire service experience. An Fire "Investigator" can be taught without being a Firefighter or Police Officer. Lots of education and training!
Is the truck a tack home vehicle
Yes. Investigators respond from the office or home 24/7 while on shift.
Thank you
Which car is this?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO I was more thinking about the car model ;D
Why is his truck black with no markings?
Psycho Angry Drivers And People it has some markings. It is referred to as ghost packages.
Floor gang
U would think Chicago is a way bigger city with a bigger budget yet all the firehouse and rigs are old and rusted
Do your investigator have police powers?
Do the fire or fighter investigators get to take their trucks home
Yes, when they're on-call the Fire Investigators take their work trucks home.
What about when they’re not working at the station do they take them home as their primary vehicles like PIO‘s due
Why blue lights.
No Names Gaming Why not?
Does he carry a gun?
Ahhhhhh! I’m late again
Just out of curiosity why does a fire investigator need lights and sirens if he's not putting out the fire or going to an emergency because surely investigating the fire isn't an emergency because he can't do anything until the fire has nearly out or is out I could be wrong I was just curious
It’s not 1080p😫
Why is his unit "undercover"?
Are your Fire Investigators armed & have police arrest powers?
I know a few local agencies here in Colorado like Aurora and Denver make there investigators go through the POST academy and have full powers of arrest.
We are considered "law enforcement officers" by Colorado law while conducting an investigation. We have the power to start an arrest procedure, if an arrest is warranted, as well file the case. But, we rely on our local police and sheriff partnerships to help us conduct the "physical" aspects of those detainment's. We are not armed at this time.
Yes, where I'm from, Fire Investigators/Fire Marshals have full police powers, and are Armed. They are certified law enforcement cross trained.
@@FireInvest5280 Thank you for the clarification!
great video but shouldn't the fire decon bucket go in the back so when you go to get it, you don't contaminate the cab.
It only lets me watch in 480p
I think Conner is a cutie anyone agree
Last I checked I don't know of any fire fighters that carry two 45s on their back I've only ever seen them carry one 45 what I was taught 15 minutes to get in 15 to get out 15 in case shit goes sideways
