Did 7 years on the volunteer side and had to leave it for work. Now live in a city with a paid department and I'm considering a complete career change back into the fire service. Your videos are amazing. Keep it up!
It's good to show the kids the fire fighter in "regular" clothes and let the kids see him or her get into full gear and hear them breathing with the mask on. It may help the kid if he comes in contact with a fire fighter who is dressed like a monster in a panic situation. I have heard from fire fighter friends who have been in that bad situation how the kid wasn't quite as afraid of the FF. Good job and great video.
I really like the team work and close relationships of each person to their team members. That is the way to do a great job and a nice benefit to the crew also. Thanks for another fine video.
When i was a little boy i think i was 4 ore 5 years and i were in Colorado to visit my family and we were shopping food and stuff like that and when we came out we saw a fire truck and i loved fire trucks and firefighters so we walked to the fire truck and there were two firefighters they showed us the truck and when they were done they gave me a little firefighter helmet that was one of the best days in my live and sorry when my englisch is not so good i live in Germany and normally just speak English with my dad but I don’t write much
We once sent to a woman with a broken arm. When we got there she was dead. Turns out she most likely got awoken in the middle of the night because of chest pain but when she got out of bed she tripped on her bed sheets, fell and broke her arm. That’s why she called 911...the broken arm. Just as the Lt said...we were behind the 8 ball when we arrived.
This is an interesting series. I enjoyed it. This reminded me of my time as a firefighter. I kind of miss it. Seeing the little kids getting their tour was cool too. I always enjoyed doing that.
Great videos 🤩, just recently "discoverd" your channel. Awesome. I'm a Dutch firefighter and I'm in a observers programm due this September to do 7 days 24 hour shifts with the Tucson fire department, can't wait! But I'm learning already more than a lot of your posts, thanks 💪💪💪 Would love to visit you guys sometimes! Keep making these great videos 😃😃
Hamish Glover Diesel exhaust removal system. Gets rid of the toxic diesel exhaust. It has carcinogens in it that cause cancer. That gets it out of the building. One of the many steps to reduce job related cancer.
Again I love all the content you guys make and hoping conner is doing well/did well on her IC but is it possible to do a day in the life of a EMT-P I would really enjoy it and maybe others might too.
It would be cool if you guys did a fleet friday video on Tower 18, or Ladder 12, it would be nice to see the differences between them and the other towers such as tower 45
Is the white-to-red lighting shift in the hallways just for artistic effect on the videos or do they actually change color when a call comes in? If so, what's the reasoning behind it?
Do the firefighters rotate from the ambulance to the truck or engine, or stay on the ambulance? Do the ambulance crews spend the entire 48 on the ambulance?
Depending on the severity, a headache isn't always just a headache... The person may be having a stroke, they might be dehydrated, etc. Headaches also come before some seizures. In some rare cases, headaches may even be the only symptom of a seizure, so you really never know. Edit: As mentioned at 7:50 something as simple as just feeling groggy, may turn in to something much worse.
hoping to one day become a firefighter, sadly wont be able to be one in south metro because of living in another country however these videos still give me hope on what i might be able to be one day :)
South Metro Fire Rescue I am going to be a firefighter I am currently in high school 11th grade I am trying to take my drivers license what else do i need to be at south metro because I want to be there. In the fall I am going to be taking ap classes 2 math classes and south ark emt program.
I know that 9/11 passed a few months ago but I think it is unofficially a remember of the 343 Firefighters who died on 9/11 that this video has 343 thousand views. Always Remember, Never Forget
Nice navy blue Carhartt heavy duty coat. No longer available. Best coat for firefighters. Madewell formerly produced a similar coat with a wool blanket lining. Boston firefighters wore them for years. That coat and company is gone. Wild Ass makes a great facsimile.
Do the firies take their bunker gear with them when they leave the station (medic call or to go shopping)? When multiple trucks and engines are call how do they decode which ones are called upon?
Currently active duty military and looking into some classes I can take online to help me get a good job in the fire service, does any have any recommendations (not begging for a TYFYS, I feel like that’s important for people to know)
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thanks for the quick response, I couldn't find anything about being required to have the citizenship or not, that's why I was double checking. Still unsure whether USA citizenship is needed or not
South Metro Fire Rescue PIO I’ve seen those! I like the way your videos are set up and how in detail you go. Please consider. I’m sure I’m speaking for more than just myself
Thank you very much for the interesting insight and the related information about your equipment and brave work. You are very brave and great heroes that affects all people who work in such difficult professions to save and help people. 🍀💜💝💙♥️🍀🍀🍀🍀🇺🇲 best wishes from 🇩🇪
You know what's really cool? To be one of these firefighters and know that for at least some of these kids, they will remember this day the rest of their lives. They may not even remember the individual firefighter himself but when they are 40, 50, 80 years old, they'll think back to the time in elementary school a firefighter crew visited them. Some of them will remember it so much they'll want to take up the profession.
You know you live in a cold state when you wear a tee shirt and\or shorts in the bay or outside on scene in the middle of winter! Greetings from Connecticut!
great video guys nice behind the scenes of what the Lt' has to do and how important it is to work as a team.He is 100 % right we are all one team and we all lean on each other can't wait till the next video.I hope its the medic one comes soon i love ems
I’m a volunteer for New Haven Fire Rescue here in New York and last year in 2023 we ran 440 calls 110 of which were medicals and 99.9% of the fires we run are mutual aid we haven’t had a fire in our district since the summer of 23’
Glad to have found this video. I'm actually getting ready to start my LT training in my department. Commenting on what he was saying towards the end: This job is the best job ever but... it's not for everyone. Definetly look into it before you take a shot at it and dont just look at one cities department, look at as many different cities and departments. For example we have 8 departments in our county and we all do things differently and we all have different SOGs SOPs. My best advice I can give to anyone who has their heart set on firefighting is dont come in cocky and come in with an open mind every day. I know chiefs who have been firefighting since the 70s who still learn every single day. I see a lot of guys who come in thinking they know everything because their dad or someone in their family was a firefighter.

South Metro Fire Rescue - Centennial, Colorado Should I start my job as a firefighter in my hometown of Kingsport TN, then go to the FDNY
I did 14 years in volunteer/ Partnership. I was gonna do the same thing
Going to elementary schools has to be the most heart warming time. The kids just eat it up
It's good to show the kids the fire fighter in "regular" clothes and let the kids see him or her get into full gear and hear them breathing with the mask on. It may help the kid if he comes in contact with a fire fighter who is dressed like a monster in a panic situation. I have heard from fire fighter friends who have been in that bad situation how the kid wasn't quite as afraid of the FF. Good job and great video.
I used to be scared of them when they came to my school
It is for us but a lot of the younger kids are scared of us even after showing them us getting dressed in each peace of gear
PLEASE DO A DAY IN THE LIFE A OF A MARSHAL PLEASE (like if want a that!)

@South Metro PIO...how about day in the life of a public safety dispatcher??
South Metro Fire Rescue PIO Battalion Chief?
Hey guys! I’m might answer all the questions once it’s live!
I have been watching you guys since like November after I decided I want to be a firefighter for Florence AZ
Paramedic on ambo? Special rescue? Squad? Would love to see more of these. By far my favorite series.
I love watching your videos. I was a fire fighter for Florence Arizona fire department
Love to see a day in life of a probationary firefighter for the recently graduated class
Great videos 🤩, just recently "discoverd" your channel. Awesome.

Stupid question - what is the hose that is attached to the engines when they are in the station?
Hamish Glover Diesel exhaust removal system. Gets rid of the toxic diesel exhaust. It has carcinogens in it that cause cancer. That gets it out of the building. One of the many steps to reduce job related cancer.
I’m really liking that new intro.
Cant wait, I'm so excited!

Working on getting on at a department, extremely competitive

When’s next fleet Friday?
South Metro Fire Rescue PIO follow up question, will every vehicle in your fleet be featured in a fleet Friday?
Fish_Bowl_17 already has.
It would be cool if you guys did a fleet friday video on Tower 18, or Ladder 12, it would be nice to see the differences between them and the other towers such as tower 45
I second this...Tower 18 and Ladder 12 (The Black Pearl) are two of my favorites:)
Is the white-to-red lighting shift in the hallways just for artistic effect on the videos or do they actually change color when a call comes in? If so, what's the reasoning behind it?
hey south metro I have a discord sever I never use do yo8u guys what to use it? discord is a group chat thing or google hangout.
Ok
I need more videos like these. Awesome job lieutenant.
Waiting all week for your Vlog I think you guys are prettyspecial I hope you have a good magical day and I hope it stays quiet for you guys
Good stuff and thank all you firefighters for what you do God bless you all.
Do the firefighters rotate from the ambulance to the truck or engine, or stay on the ambulance? Do the ambulance crews spend the entire 48 on the ambulance?
why would you call 911 for headache? just hop in a car and go to hospital
Depending on the severity, a headache isn't always just a headache... The person may be having a stroke, they might be dehydrated, etc. Headaches also come before some seizures. In some rare cases, headaches may even be the only symptom of a seizure, so you really never know.
Edit: As mentioned at 7:50 something as simple as just feeling groggy, may turn in to something much worse.
Hello from south Georgia & RFD HQ!
7:50 When you forget to unplug the truck.
they are magnetic and detach while driving away
@@dodobetes1398 You are thinking of the exhaust pipes.
@@dodobetes1398 My bad, South Metro uses an Auto Eject system.
Flaps Down Aviation most departments do. It auto ejects when you turn on the ignition.
He looks sad
hoping to one day become a firefighter, sadly wont be able to be one in south metro because of living in another country however these videos still give me hope on what i might be able to be one day :)
Okay this may be a dumb question but why do you guys plug your trucks in at stations? Like what does plugging them in do?

Hello from a fire department in Philadelphia
The garage door shot at about 14:00 was a great shot. Nice camera work
Do the firies take their bunker gear with them when they leave the station (medic call or to go shopping)? When multiple trucks and engines are call how do they decode which ones are called upon?
why didnt my local fire crew come to the high school so i could get educated and feel like a kid again and tour the truck.
Currently active duty military and looking into some classes I can take online to help me get a good job in the fire service, does any have any recommendations (not begging for a TYFYS, I feel like that’s important for people to know)
Quick question, does one need US citizenship to apply for SMFR?
Yes.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thanks for the quick response, I couldn't find anything about being required to have the citizenship or not, that's why I was double checking. Still unsure whether USA citizenship is needed or not

You know you live in a cold state when you wear a tee shirt and\or shorts in the bay or outside on scene in the middle of winter! Greetings from Connecticut!
This is Awesome 👏👏 👏 Thanks for this video I found t very interesting and informative 😎
Every fire station should have a channel like this! Good idea to show the behind the scenes of these situations, especially for children!
The last call before the coffee part got me good knowing it’s happened to all of us😂
Thank you for medical emergency help 🙏🏼
The alarm sounds like the "Seattle Fire Department's alarm tones. Hehehe
great video guys nice behind the scenes of what the Lt' has to do and how important it is to work as a team.He is 100 % right we are all one team and we all lean on each other can't wait till the next video.I hope its the medic one comes soon i love ems

Great content 👍🏼

The funny part was the Ambulance was about to enter the garage but gog interrupted by a call 🤣🤣
Are the members of PIO considered officers within South Metro?
No.
Top notch content, can't wait for next week!
65% medical calls?... Seems like you need more ambulances, and have at least 3 medics in the ambo
I mean they are all certified emts. They all can function as medics in some capacity.
isn't that normal? I was checking the call logs for my city and most of them are medical too
Why do u guys turn ur lights off at medical calls

south metro how are fire vehicles numbered? my station is number 3 but the engine and medic is 73 so how are they numbered?
Probably varies by County and State.
it is Thornton fire station, 3 in colorado. but my engine and medic are numberd 73.
it's cool how the light go red
@Ashton Yes it is. It’s verey cool.
Pretty sure this officer interviewed me 😬
Have you ever worked with west metro
Does SMFR provide opportunities for current members to go to Paramedic School?
