Glad to see that dimmers exist. I have sometimes found it dangerous when I am driving past emergency vehicles at night with the bright lights blinding me.
@@justanotheraviator2357 many lightbars we have don't have the option to manually switch it on or off, but as soon as it gets dark it automatically turns into night modewith dimmes lights and shorter flashes
@@EnjoyFirefighting Every major light bar (and many aux. lights) vendor has a "dimmer" wire in the harness, whether that is hooked to a switch, or a photocell, or as is the case for most emergency vehicles simply not hooked up at all, is upto the Owner/Outfitter.
I was with Roanoke County Fire Department as an EMT volunteer rescue. I appreciate the new gear you guys have now. When I ran in the mid 1980s, the only guys with bunker/ turnout gear were FFs, not EMTs, and my squad ( now defunct due to embezzlement) had us run with a jumpsuit with our squad logo on the back. Thanks for the video!
This was an awesome video you two. Love the in depth walk-around of your PIO unit, showing us every compartment, all the siren controls, etc. I also love that you two use more accurate and realistic terminology while describing incidents and what you two do, instead of more simplified explanations. I'd say a good chunk of your viewers have some knowledge when it comes to this stuff, so it's nice to see things explained correctly and in depth. Love love LOVE what you two are doing with this TH-cam series. Very entertaining, keep up the great work!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH ERIC for sharing All the Details of Your Truck 👏👏❤😎 I greatly appreciate learning all this from you and Connor **** your truck seems to be well prepared for anything that might happen *** Connor you are awesome for sharing all the training videos and I truly enjoy how you two work soo well as a team 👏👏😀😀
I’m a Denver boy living in KS at the moment but I Love South Metro and love this Channel! It would be awesome to get a Behind the scenes look or a day in the life of one of your Arson\Fire Investigators! Working on becoming a Fire Cop myself someday soon.
I love you you know your radio equipment. It's such a critical thing to be familiar with and you would be surprised at how many in emergency services aren't! Love the work! Alos, good to know that SMFR operates on the Statewide DTRS
Amazing showcase of your very well equipped vehicle. You guys are doing really great work with PIO. Hope to see more vehicles and equipment in the future. Keep it up👍🏻
Great video! I was down in Clemente park that day also for a baseball tournament and it was moving to see the turnout. Not being from Colorado but watching and reading about that day was heart wrenching but good to see the community come together to remember was a moment I will never forget.
That was one nice set-up since it had been previously set-up, so you got some extra benefits. What you two do being PIOs looks like a lot of fun, and you are very good at it too. Great video coverage too.
I work at Sterilite and I noticed the PIO officer had one of our totes in the bavk of his truck ted and black I am now proud to have made something to help you and South Metro Fire Rescue
Don’t mean to be confrontational Tactical but whether or not they are “actual certified firefighters” has no importance. This is public relations, customer service, public information and access at is finest! They do incredible work at this department and Connor and Eric produce incredible, quality content indicative of the department.
Jay Spencer In other places, PIO is a position held by a certified firefighter who has performed regular firefighting duties previously. Usually they are captains or some sort of ranked officer. He was just wondering how they do it at So. Metro
This is four years old, Eric I believe has or had FF training, Connor at this time did not have FF training however she did either after this or before this video did take command training in order for her to be able to be command (this is seen in the video where Eric was first in and took command).
I just found you guys a few days ago. I live in the springs. But travel south metro area a lot. With family in northern Colorado and doing thing in south metro and Denver areas
Oh.... and that is One Sweet PIO set up.... all we had was a "OneStep instant camera" and a Note pad... we swiped the note pads from our Secretary when she was at lunch... We only had a $55 dollar PIO budget...
You need the team wendy helmet retention system. I have it for my helmet and it makes the chin strap basically pointless as the rachet system is very effective just like a regular fire helmet
I also wanted to tell guys are my amazing heroes I will always let you guys know hopefully I'm encouragement I will keep praying for you guys and you guys were family I mean I have nobody else to talk to you do you know fire fires or firefighters I told the people here if they need my help I'll be there because I have all of the fire gear because I have two great fire scanners so I always know what's going on where you guys are but I will always pray for you when you're out there
Great video's guy's thanks for letting me in to your family what a great insite in to the work you do all the best take care and stay safe god bless you all and your families love your smile Conner any chance of a picture please
Hey Guys, I'm a Firefighter in the UK and I was wonder if you would be able to do a video on Command and Control, and Command support. I have used these skills a lot on incidents in varying size and was wondering how you guys did it?
Love the channel and thhe information that you put out.. I work for a private fire and ems service here in Canada. If I can swig it were can I send you a patch to so that you can add it to your wall.
@@joeyknight8272 yes we are a private fire and EMS service we cover special events. We have an engine and a ladder four ambulances. We also do large animal rescue.

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO, great thank you! Looking for a camera to attach to our straps as well for command staff. I thought their setup was a great idea and could satisfy our needs as well. Thanks for the response.
Thank you guys for allowing us to see how South Metro operates! You guys rock and these videos are amazing!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey buddy
We appreciate you two taking the time to make these videos! Keep em' coming!
Glad to see that dimmers exist. I have sometimes found it dangerous when I am driving past emergency vehicles at night with the bright lights blinding me.
They should always be on full for a response!
I use dim for on scene.

Fantastic video Eric and Conner! I love this video, maybe the best yet! Keep up the fantastic work guys!

This vlog was great! loved seeing the inside and outside of the PIO truck!
Omg the federal siren and the other siren omg dual tone was amazing
Awesome! God Bless who Serve and have served! 🙏 ❤️
Am from ghana africa and am a fire fighter.and i love my job but we do not have more equipment like you guys.
Loved seeing around the Ford. Eric clearly loves the sirens. Who doesn't like Powercall and EQ together?
Keep up the cool videos.
People who have real Q sirens 😉😂
Federal Q always cool
I enjoy your vlogs so much it gives me something to do/listen to keep it up!
I work at Sterilite and I noticed the PIO officer had one of our totes in the bavk of his truck ted and black I am now proud to have made something to help you and South Metro Fire Rescue
How often you all hire? Seems like a legit department to work for to be honest.
Love the vids and the channel, but 1 question. Are you guys actual certified fire fighters?

they are Public Information Officers.. look it up

I feel like I would spend all my time making cool sounds with the two sirens 🚨
I just found you guys a few days ago. I live in the springs. But travel south metro area a lot. With family in northern Colorado and doing thing in south metro and Denver areas
You should add this video to your fleet Friday playlist
Oh.... and that is One Sweet PIO set up.... all we had was a "OneStep instant camera" and a Note pad... we swiped the note pads from our Secretary when she was at lunch... We only had a $55 dollar PIO budget...
Thank youuuu! watching it third time!
Grate video!! thanks for doing it. What peace of advice would you 2 give a 24 yo that wants to become a PIO
I would recommend learning to spell correctly (i.e. piece)
Hey what kind of special trucks do you guys have for fire fighting?? And can you show them???
We Had A Fire Alarm Activation At Edge Church Now As Simchat Torah Beit Midrash at 16979 Smoky Hill Back In March
You need the team wendy helmet retention system. I have it for my helmet and it makes the chin strap basically pointless as the rachet system is very effective just like a regular fire helmet
Start running around with an unfastened chinstrap, see how long it takes before you tighten it down.
Love your vids, greetings from The Netherlands!
I like your Vlog your truck is awesome and I hope you guys have a good week 🚒✋🏻❤️👊🏽😃😀🖐🏿👋🏿👍😆😉🔥🚒🔥
VHF Radio could also be used for coms with ARES operators if the local repeaters are programed into it
