I enjoy watching all your videos, you have a unique way of sharing your team and their equipment that allows us to feel like we are a part of the team. Please show more of Matt and Fleet, I enjoy learning and watching not only the firefighters but the support staff that all work together.
Loved this video. I find the details of getting a new truck fascinating. So much still has to be done once the new apparatus is delivered. Please make more videos with the first fleet member. Thanks.
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).
Seeing Fleet was awesome, and Matt is a great guy to feature! Super comfortable on camera and great at explaining everything. Would love to see more of what he and the rest of the team do.
From a old 75 year old man in England thank you very much I look forward to watching P10 Vlog and from myself to everyone at South Metro take care and stay safe.
South Metro Videos are a must for me. I feel as if my week isn't complete without watching there newest video. It doesn't matter what kind of video it is.
Yeah more fleet bureau vlogs would be awesome. Would’ve liked to see more about the engine that they had the cab tilted working on the motor, and the ladder truck that was on the lift!
hello south metro, I am aspiring to become a firefighter up here in Canada. just wanted to say thank you for all your videos, it offers me great insight into the world of firefighting.
I would love to see him actually filling up the trucks I could sit all day watching this stuff and learn from others on how to apply to our fleet tnx waiting for more videos
kia ora (hello) from New zealand you might be able to receive a few patches from me but im gonna have to dig around the station im apart of and find the spare ones hope your all looking after your self after the major snow storm much love and please stay safe
Picture this....... Fleet Friday, but it's the mobile service trucks that the mechanics drive or those plow trucks. Not sure if South Metro has their own Tow Trucks, but throw those in as well. Just a theory. Great video as always Eric!
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.
Yeah the new fleet units that are going to the right stations they look so cool and i have a question if their was a fuel tanker truck on the any of the interstates and a engine and a Airport rescue unit or a ladder truck runs out of water would a tanker get called out if their are no hydrants near by
Even More interesting would be to do a profile on your tax base and how this beautiful equipment is afforded. What your call volume is and types of calls In comparison to other major cities. Great Video , The fleet department seems like they can do anything with saying they can fabricate To custom the apparatus. Thats very cool and probably underappreciated. Do SOme more fleet behind the scenes..
@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO please do Fleet Fridays on the new Engine 20 & Safety 35! Also, I would love it if you could show us some more of Fleet. Perhaps a Day In The Life video? Or maybe a literal "Fleet" Friday!
Here in Albert Lea MN -- something is done on the front end of some pierce Trucks, I got a pick of a few. So wondering did station 20 open early or was the truck behind in delivery That had to make extra work to put an engine in station 20 for a couple of months. BTW I guess I need to join the club to Yes to Matt.
Pierce is months behind in new vehicle builds as well as vehicle repairs. A department close to me had an aerial that was struck on the freeway in July of 2020 and it was just picked up for repair last week by Pierce. I think Sta 20 opened on time with a delay in getting their new apparatus.
@@kenturner2349 that a big delay by Pierce. With Covid clearly supply chains did help. Sorry to hear about your Aerial, that a long time without a front line unit.
So this is an interesting question because Station 20 was actually late to open. It was supposed to be completed in Fall 2020, but the construction was delayed so the original engine that was supposed to be Engine 20 ended up becoming Engine 44 so that it did not just sit around in storage for a year. The new Engine 20 was ordered to replace the original engine slated for them and the new engine arrived after the station opened instead of before it opened as originally intended.
Fleet is an Interesting part of the fire service. Would love to see some time lapsed videos of some of the upfits.
I would love to see them do a project truck from bits and pieces they already have.
the "heroes behind the scenes" you could say :)
"ARMCAR" on the to-do board may be a good one to follow... armored?
I would definitely like some stuff with fleet especially maybe some day in the life’s or more vlogs focused on fleet
Matt, you're a natural on camera. Give us more! !
Yes please
I enjoy watching all your videos, you have a unique way of sharing your team and their equipment that allows us to feel like we are a part of the team. Please show more of Matt and Fleet, I enjoy learning and watching not only the firefighters but the support staff that all work together.
Fleet is such an overlooked department! I vote for a monthly fleet Friday update!
Outstanding Video. Yes more of fleet services and Matt. So many behind the fire service scenes. Stay safe.
Fleet is awesome! Would love to see more!
Matt did a fantastic job with his walk through of a well layed out apparatus.
Loved this video. I find the details of getting a new truck fascinating. So much still has to be done once the new apparatus is delivered. Please make more videos with the first fleet member. Thanks.

More fleet videos please!!!! Maybe what engines/trucks/ladders they are fixing that come in to be repaired?
I liked the fleet visit!!
I definitely would like to see more of fleet or maybe do a video on a full build if possible!
Great job Matt. Your fabrication work is really cool. 👌
More fleet!! That was awesome!!
Yes, more fleet. It's helpful to see what your department does with equipment.
Seeing Fleet was awesome, and Matt is a great guy to feature! Super comfortable on camera and great at explaining everything. Would love to see more of what he and the rest of the team do.
Awesome getting to see the fleet workshop! Hi from Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
Yes I would love to see more of the fleet
Fleet is very interesting to me as well you'll get to see what they do on the rig before it goes to service so very interested in fleet
More fleet! A side series of a full build of a new vehicle would be sick. Just send Matt a GoPro and let him loose!!!
From a old 75 year old man in England thank you very much I look forward to watching P10 Vlog and from myself to everyone at South Metro take care and stay safe.

@@Spitfire8520 that makes great logic on SMFD and makes Pierce looks not totally far behind. Thanks for the information.
