- This vlog takes viewers up close to a first due garage fire in Littleton with heavy fire conditions and a cat saved by firefighters. We also take a look back at Academy 19-2 Family Night.
Eric, nice job on that size up. You gave calm, clear and accurate information to incoming crews, and helped to do a 360/identifying hazards. That's pretty impressive for a PIO to assume that sort of roll when you're the first unit on scene. Bravo!
Where are you PIO based?
Good one
You all do such a great job of both firefighting and communicating with one another and the community. I especially appreciated the split-screen response videos and the helmet cam walk-around. That gave us a "being there" perspective. Thanks again.
Thanks for saving the animals that you could!
Thats amazing that you have the equipment and training to rescue animals!
Great job on the quick knockdown and the save of the family's cat. I like that you carry animal resuscitation masks on your rigs. Once again great job and stay safe.
It was good hearing Eric (I think Eric is PIO10) on the radio for once! That was quite a treat.
I like the digital voice dispatch, it's much better than our dispatchers who cant pronounce words lol
Great Video! Love how you explained the scene! Keep them videos coming like this!
Outstanding work, great communication led to a quick knockdown.
Best video yet!!! Keep them coming
Those blue lights on a fire engine still throw me off, being from NorCal 😂
in my part of the world we mainly have blues (UK) sometimes other colour also depending on type of appliance red and clear mainly
Yeah we’re all red in Georgia. No blue on fire apparatus.
blue is higher visibility, so they are starting to put it on more and more rigs...plus it looks cool XD
Same here, all red in KY
Here in quebec as well all red no blue. Police blue
Outstanding job.
I'm glad you guys were able to save the cat and dogs
you policy of rescuing pets is AWESOME
Awesome Video!!
Thank You
Will any of your crews get asked to go to the California wildfires
Nice work Eric ! And everyone at SMFR ! Oh and watch out for garden tools / furniture Eric :D
you are my favorite guys for fire i live in Utah but my uncle loves your stuff including me
Hey Eric you did great at this fire scene! I'm glad that you identified the downed live wire and were able to relay that message to the rest of the crews on scene. Does your department place an orange reflective traffic/safety cone or something next to downed electrical wires so that it is easier for all emergency crews on scene to locate the hazard and stay away from it?
What are the "safety" vehicles/apparatus? I heard "Safety 18" in the dispatch and am wondering what the vehicle is.
Nice save guys keep it up 🧑🚒🇺🇸
@South Metro Fire Rescue PIO. WHAT A GREAT JOB! Is a maxium speed that u guys can safely run at code 3?
Well it appears that neighborhood has a lot of speed bumps so that was probably the limiting factor for Ladder 12.
Good explanation
Eric and Conner Battalion 1 was assisting Battalion 2 who had the Command light on Battalion 1 or 2 or both of them. This is a first for me to have a first alarm fire with two chiefs on scene. Also Eric and Con ner. If you arrive first do you always provide a size and 360.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO thank for the clarification my municipality dispatches only one chief to a fire unless it goes to a second alarm or greater then more chief officers are dispatched then one of the Engine or Truck Captains are designated as the Safety Officer.
Can you do a startup video tour of all the equipment on the fire truck please
You guys should do a loadout video on the basic equipment all the firefighters have
Nice vid
well done good people fire men working looking everything house
Nice video
Might sound crazy but working on a film set has similarities to firefighting, running electrical lines of different sizes/voltage levels, moving equipment, working within departments but as a group, and being communicative to get the job done. Still nowhere close to the physicality of firefighting though, got hella respect for them
Is fleet Friday only once per month?
aaawww special hug 4 the ff who saved the kitty. sadly its sibling died
Gonna be mailing out those patches tomorrow sorry been busy and I forgot Thanks be safe guys and girls
i take it PIO 10 (Eric) lives relatively close to this fire
Not to be creepy or anything, but if he beat Ladder 12 to this scene from his house, he's gotta be VERY close. Station 12 is only a few minutes away in normal conditions. But really he deserves some privacy so I mean...
n0oneh3re true true. in no way was i trying to be creepy or anything i just thought it was kinda cool
@@tannerthomas6694 Yeah I'm just trying to be respectful too. I've seen him driving towards HQ in the morning a few times while I'm going the opposite direction to work myself. I just don't want him to not post videos of himself en route to calls for fear of people trying to find his home. He doesn't deserve that weirdness haha.
n0oneh3re haha very true. i live in Utah so the likelihood of me seeing him driving around pretty low. and i 100% see your reasoning
@@tannerthomas6694 I live in the SMFR district obviously so I see a fair bit of the apparatus and support staff around. Doesn't change the fact that I still love seeing them every time! I saw a red PIO SUV at the car wash down the street from their HQ a while back, and other than seeing Eric's truck every so often that's all I've seen of PIO vehicles. Mostly just the apparatus. I hear them more than I see them though, since I'm not too far from a station.
Do Battalion , district and safety also work 48/96 shifts
I love your guys channel so so much it’s made me want to be just like you guys only thing I probably could say that is a bit of a con is maybe don’t go as far as showing the exact location of the house where the incident was maybe just the general area just for privacy I know that there is probably reasons why that I might not know about but like I said love the channel I watch everyday keep it up 1:07
Residence, residential structure, fire
Free
Eric I know Conner came from broadcast TV, but did you come from Fire service. Nice job.
What does it mean when the dispatch said engine 33 move up to station 15???
Anyway I can get a MetCom patch? I have y’all’s but I want one!
South Metro Fire Rescue PIO Okay, Ill be on the look out for that, the MetCom patch is sweet! Thanks
What are the requirements for becoming a PIO?
Does a PIO unit assume command? Do you have a policy on what determines a strategy mode?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO I always get excited when I hear a good size up lol
Good guestion.
Dalton Langsmith agreed that was a good question, and a great answer given by South Metro Fire Rescue PIO.
rest in peace sweet kitty. happy now at rainbow bridge
Do you guys have a normal ladder truck without a bucket
Nevermind I didnt see ladder 12 didn’t have a bucket
I would love to know, if a firefighter could build a safer home or apartment what would they do differently, because I’ve been interested in keeping my family’s home as safe from fires, so to me it would be so interesting to know, I watch these blogs to make my family’s home as safe as possible, Thank you so much, I would love update to what causes house fires. And GOD BLESS Every single firefighter out there.
Hey so as a firefighter with a degree in construction here’s my recommendations, the big thing is having smoke detectors in at minimum your bedroom halls and kitchen but honestly the more rooms covered the better.
Have fire extinguishers in the same rooms make sure to keep them in good working order and easy to find in a panic, keep and practice a fire plan with your family to know where to meet and what to do, maybe consider visiting your local firehouse (call first) to talk to them about fire safety and if you live in an apartment consider asking your landlord to set up a walkthrough with the local department. Also learn your pets favorite spots so IF you have time you know where to find them but never jeopardize your life for your pets life (not saying I don’t understand as I would gladly have given my life for my cat if he was still here, but I can’t recommend you do it)
For apartments keep rope ladders in your rooms with windows so you have a form of egress, honestly if your family are experienced in rappelling a rope with a descender would be faster but thats a speed vs safety choice that’s up to you how comfortable you can do those skills under heavy stress.
As far as construction practices, sprinklers are an amazing resource, often they can stop a fire before we on the engine can even get to you, I would also suggest keeping your electrical systems in good order and keeping flammable materials away from outlets (like couch’s and curtains) that also goes along with keeping your house clean and unnecessary clutter down to reduce risk of something growing unseen, keep your dryer vent tube clean and change it I’d say yearly but you could probably go longer in all honesty but check with he manufacturer recommendations for your dryer.
If I was building from the ground up I would build out of a lot of metal and concrete, get fire resistant insulation and use a metal roof, personally for a small house I’d try to get all your wiring on one side of the house but I understand that’s not practical in most cases, also a simple thing is to design a house with wide hallways / doorways so we can get a stretcher in for medical calls or so we can move our hose around easier for fires, id also get lights near exits so you can find them in low visibility if a window isn’t an option.
Most importantly above everything else is seeking knowledge and training, knowing what to do will help with panic decisions, practice with your family for your plan, go and use a fire extinguisher (preferably the same you are keeping in your house) so you know what range and duration to expect, learn about how Fire works and what to do (ie get low, feel doors before going out them, etc), the more you prepare, learn and practice the better off you will be.
I don’t know if any of this will help you or if any of it made sense, this is just what came to mind thinking about this real quick
Also make sure to know where your electrical shut offs are
Do you have firefighter training as a POI? Also do you have any power to run command if no chiefs are on location
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thank you very much for the speedy and informational reply. Stay safe and great videos.
When’s the ppe gear video going to come out?
Thanks
Was ladder 12 a first due unit
what’s the difference between a safety, battalion and district
South Metro Fire Rescue PIO thank you but what exactly are their different roles and an incident such as a structure fire
Wow
Where can I send a patch?
I'm 15 about to turn 16 can I be a firefighter or a junior firefighter?
Life Love your jod
What happens when there are humans injured but you have extra medics to help a cat if you had to
South Metro Fire Rescue PIO thanks
Poor cat :(
Do PIO’s respond with lights sirens to calls?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO thanks for the explanation, love the vids:)
As a dad of 2 cats aka me that are sister I would hate to see that happen to one of my sweethearts
Do PIO's on your department use SCBAs since you all are close I know my city when they get close like Eric
did the cats survive
0:29
What's this song called?
Any reason your department uses red and blues? Not a whole lot of fire departments use that scheme
State law probably
Where’s fleet Friday?
i know
Who is PIO 10 and BC 1?
PIO 10 is Eric.
FLEET FRIDAY
It sounds like you guys use blue card?
Do you have to be a firefighter to be a PIO
What happen to fleet Friday?
Oh ok! It’s per month. Cool thanks.
Did I hear red 1 being dispatched?
I think it was Med 1
#teamtrees spread the seed
Can PIO respond Code 3?
Want kind of firefighting training do the PIO’s have
there r 3 sizes of pet masks. large 4 big dogs,med 4 med dogs n small for small pets n cats. i asked my nwfrs 2 show me
why do dispatch not say PIO
PIOs attach themselves in the CAD/MDT I believe
Hi
3:48 Not laying in a hydrant line! Where is the TANK WATER being applied directly onto the Visible Burning Material within ONE MINUTE after arrival???????????????????????????
7:15 See how little water and time is needed to eliminate the threat and Protect victims, firefighters and the structure? What's that? 5-10 SECONDS of water?
11:00 You don't send firefighters into the second floor with a fire raging on the first floor. You don't open windows on the second floor with a fire raging on the first floor. Notice how the Horrible and scary steam/water vapor exits the structure just like the heat and smoke!
Woah, a professional TH-cam Fire Rescue employee! Can I get a picture and an autograph??
@@Nick-bb4nk Woah another ignorant child that is incapable of discussing window breaking and water squirting and resorts to childishness to make him feel superior. That's sad!
@@JB91710 They know what they're doing
How did the PIO arrive on scene at this structure fire before any engine or truck companies? This is an honest question. Our engine would without a doubt be the first unit on scene at a structure fire in our first in response area.
It’s kinda awkward only having one of the two presenters say a greeting and do all the talking while the other just sits and smiles at the camera. They need to work off each other and both engage the camera. It’s uncomfortable to watch the way it is.
Fire victims in USA: „Oh thank god, there is a firefighter in uniform coming to help us“
Supposed firefighter: Pulls out his camera to start taking pictures of everything.
IT‘S SO UNNECESSARY TO WEAR A FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR AS AN PIO!!!! 😂🤦🏻♂️
Sorry, Do Not agree!
The first report back to dispatch and everyone on the way to the scene in this situation was the only right thing to do! Even if the first unit was an Engine with 9 crew (as it would be on most voluntary FDs here in Germany):
The officer does his recce and reports back. The rest of the crew does preparitory work (if situation allowes) or stays put until the situation is properly evaluated!
Full safety gear is mandatory as long as the safety perimeter is not defined and installed.
(downed powerline, collapsing roof...)
Come on out of your arm chair and join us!
SirBender Um yeah, you’re really not even close to being correct as an armchair firefighter. Eric is Blue Card certified allowing him to enter the warm zone with his PPE w/o SCBA to do an initial size up and 360 allowing the ladder to grab its own hydrant, which it needs to flow around 1250gpm and the second due to set another water supply as per command. Hazards were identified and living beings (cat) were rescued and resuscitated. If you’re going to harp on someone, know what you’re talking about before you set you’re own conviction. I’ve had the pleasure to meet some SMFR firefighters, and they are fantastic people, inside and outside of the firehouse.
South metro i'm a fan because i'm a vuleenter firefighter maybe i have some old firearms gear
