  • On this Vlog Emergency Vehicle Technician Matt West takes us behind the scenes at SMFR's Fleet Bureau for a sneak peek at the brand new Engine 20 and Safety 35. ARFF rig in the snow? An early spring blizzard dumped over 2 feet of snow on South Metro and Firefighters had to get creative with responding to emergencies. We visit the Troy Jackson Training Center for and up close look at coordinated fire attack classes and of course... patch shout outs!

    More videos at Fleet Services would be very interesting to me. I work as an auto parts delivery driver for one of the largest aftermarket auto and truck parts companies in the USA. So I sometimes get to go to the Fleet services fire training center near where I work. The police and fire departments share the property and I see many different emergency vehicles on the property. Over all I like any and all videos about SMFR. It would be great to see and hear from other Fleet Services staff (mechanics/techs or office & other support staff).

    Great Intro into what Matt does in the maintenance of various emergency apparatus. I love the redundancy and organization of these vehicles. Kind of a Type A myself. I think that is a great idea to include what he does, because without him nothing goes anywhere. Better Denver and Colorado Springs, but that's what happens when you go further North. Glad to hear Red 3 is multipurpose. So that's why there are some snowplows hanging around. Nice to have a Tracked Vehicle too. How about how serious the Lack of Snow can be for SMFR too? That Fire Attack Training should be an awesome class and I believe will be essential in saving lives of firefighters as well as trapped victims. The "Vertical Ventilation" Technique should be a logical way to safely vent, but when you watch the Boyd Street Structure Fire in LA in 2020 something went seriously wrong, and firefighters were almost killed with what looks like a Backdraft. No matter, this technique has proven to save lives when properly used. When you look at the quality of these video a lot of thought and great editing goes into these along with creativity. Thanks to the POIs that put these videos together and to all those that participate in the Patch Shoutouts.
