I have an Idea for a video (series) I would like to learn more about the history of South Metro Fire Rescue and the departments that have merged with your department. I would like to learn about when SMFR became a full time department and did SMFR operate as a Paid on Call or fully Volunteer Department. Nice video Connor. I would also like to learn more about the ARPS group also please.
I worked there from 79 to 2012 and wet through the mergers. I can probably answer any questions you may have. If you would like to, look me up on FB and message me. Thanks Dave Hoff
AWESOME VIDEO Tour of Station 12 😎 Thanks to All who toured us around your Beautiful Station . Very family oriented crew and great descriptions of every room there 👏👏😀
Hello to everybody at Firehouse 12 from my wife and myself. We got married about 1 month ago. We enjoy watching these videos and Hello from Brunswick, OH. (20-miles south of Cleveland). I am trying to become a firefighter at SMFR, I might be old but recruit office I should be ok. God Bless everybody and thank you for your service and I hope to work with all of you when I'll be a rookie/old man (lol). :)
I thought that was Connor filming this one. Like the Pirate Logo. Great Station Saturday review of Firehouse 12 Eric. It is always better the prevent fires than fight them. I thought that was door number One and door number Two, but nice paint job. Part of my family lives in Littleton so I am glad you all are there to provide them with protection. I take that that's the Dinner Bell on the wall. That is the downside of 24/7 service someone has to work holidays. Been there done that way too many times. The "Beatings will Continue, Until the Morale Improves" eh? OJT in the kitchen just makes sense. Awesome prizes and public involvement.
Hi Guys hello from Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Station 12 Lisburn I’m the watch commander (Station Chief) I may send you a recipe for Irish Stew ! Keep well guys
They still taking recipes? I am actually the shift cook for our station out in our dept and I've got quite a few ideas that I've tinkered with that our guys really like
I know things have been said in past videos "this rig was acquired in the merger with so and so" or "this rig was speced out before the merge". Is there anyway at some point you could do something along the lines of "History of South Metro Fire Rescue" explaining all the merges and so on. Just some food for thought
Great video! Can I ask from Eric Szabo, that is he from Hungary? Szabó is hungarian name, "sz" letter is hungarian. Szabó means tailor. Gyula Kiss, Tata, Hungary
They will fight it just like it's any other structure fire however if they're unable to get the rigs out in enough time then they'll use the other rigs that come on in for backup
Your videos are really motivating me to become a firefighter it looks like an amazing and fun job. Keep up the amazing work with the videos!! And I was wondering if you can send me a hoodie because they seem really amazing and I’ll love to have one
Awesome looking station and can't wait for the fleet Friday of Ladder 12. Station 12 must be the pride of South Metro or is just more popular all together being it is the only ladder station and seems to have an awesome crew each shift because more vids were made out of that station. Not complaining nor is it a bad thing though
Out of curiosity, how did this station gain it's pirate moniker and theme? You mentioned something about stealing calls, and I'm curious what you meant by that.
The apparatus that are staffed full-time are the suppression (engines and aerials), medic units, and command units. These units will sometimes be unstaffed in favor of specialty apparatus (e.g. brush, tender, rescue, dive, hazmat, etc.) for special call types. SMFR cross-staffs the specialty apparatus with their front line units as they are only used in specific cases and therefore do not need a full-time crew.
Cardio, weights and eating right. It’s more cardiovascular endurance then anything. Look up south metro a day in the life of an engineer. Do some HIIT(high intensity interval training) plenty of firefighter workout videos on TH-cam give it a try. I’ve been a firefighter for 11 years and fitness is a big deal
It's not consistent across all fire departements, but "Alpha" is usually the fire fighter in charge (company officer for an engine/ladder, paramedic for a medic unit) - there are a lot of traditional names for B, C and D like "line" and "backup" or "can" and "irons" etc. but the modern thing is just "engineer/driver" and "firefighter 1/2"
For South Metro, Alpha is the officer seated in the front right seat, Bravo is the engineer seated in the driver front left seat, Charlie is the firefighter behind the officer in the rear right seat, and Delta is the firefighter behind the engineer in the rear left seat. The visual representation is below. Front B A D C Back
Ladder company is a crew that is assigned to a ladder truck whether is be a tower ladder or straight stick. Straight stick is an aerial ladder that looks like a normal ladder (the one featured here). A tower ladder is an aerial ladder with a bucket at the end of the ladder.
An aerial is a catch-all term for any truck with some type of device that can extend above a building. For South Metro, a ladder is an aerial without anything at the end of the ladder and it is also known as a "straight stick" because of that. A tower is a ladder with a platform at the end of it that allows people to stand in it.
Love that the tour was passed off through the crew. Obviously a great crew.
I live right around the corner from here these guys are great and super friendly
21:38 Wow, amazing that you framed the german "Feuerwehrmagazin" article of Ladder 12. I still have this magazine at home.
Thank you Connor and Eric for everything you do

I know this isn't a station but could you guys do a station Saturday of your fleet maintenance or add it to the bag
That
would be so cool!
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Do it of Matt West
One of the best tours yet! And very educational for someone who wants to join the South Metro team, keep up the good work guys!

Conner and Eric thank you so much for the south metro patch.
Received it in the mail today.
I noticed a Backdraft poster that was near the Battalion office and that is a Good Movie
Very well done video. I can't wait until the next episode
wow Ladder 12 is pretty cool good people
So thrilled to have this tour
stay safe out there
Nice video. Love the station 12 doors and logo
Love the “ the beatings will continue until morale improves “ flag in the weight room! Lol
Station 12 is The Pirates Of Broadway
Can't wait for that cook book to be published!
Excellent tour
Awesome video, and great group of guys. Looks like a really fun and educational place to work.
I don’t live in Colorado but I love the video
Can you please do a Fleet Friday or two on any of your Fleet maintenance equipment?
@SouthMetroFireRescue- Centennial, Colorado Connor Great job putting this video together. Keep up the good work.
You did a great job thanks to the walk thru.
Hi Guys hello from Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Station 12 Lisburn I’m the watch commander (Station Chief) I may send you a recipe for Irish Stew ! Keep well guys
Am I the only one that can’t stop rewatching day I. The life of videos
Nope I rewatch all their vids
Favorite station!!
Mr. Eric Szabo.
Irigyellek, hogy ott élhetsz :)
Eseménymentes szolgálatokat! :)
Nagyon szerencsés vagyok itt élni és dolgozni. Vigyázz magadra!
Beautiful fire house very clean😁
Quite an improvement from the previous Station 12 located a few doors to the south on Broadway!
Such a cool tour!!!!
3:43 Hi Connor.
"Bins for miscellaneous parts of things we took apart and couldn't put back together..." Wait, when were you guys in my garage???
Got my patch today so cool thank you south metro fire rescue pio
Awesome station, very cool theme and logo. I wish my department had some badass hoodies like that!
I loved that backdraft poster
I cant wait for the next station Saturday
Very nice Station and guys!!! Greetings from germany
LT Becker, we got a chicken enchilada here at SLCFD..
Fleet Friday on rehab 12 and truck 12
Is this the same station that yall did the day in the life of a firefighter vid?
Yes it is
@@Brandon.1521 thanks
No problem
Hey Conner and Eric I just got my patch in the mail thx soo much
I can’t wait until there is a fleet Friday on ladder 12!! When would that be?
Those hoodies are sweet!! Wish I had one!
Just got my patch!!! It’s absolutely gorgeous!!! It’s a piece of art!!!
They still taking recipes? I am actually the shift cook for our station out in our dept and I've got quite a few ideas that I've tinkered with that our guys really like
Everyone seems super cool, I wanna be there
Hey, isn't this the same station that was used during the 'Firefighter - A Day in the Life
' video
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Cool!
What’s with the white tarps over the occupied gear racks? Never seen that before.
Would be cool to see what the old station 12 use to look like.
I know things have been said in past videos "this rig was acquired in the merger with so and so" or "this rig was speced out before the merge". Is there anyway at some point you could do something along the lines of "History of South Metro Fire Rescue" explaining all the merges and so on. Just some food for thought
South Metro Rocks!
Great video! Can I ask from Eric Szabo, that is he from Hungary? Szabó is hungarian name, "sz" letter is hungarian. Szabó means tailor. Gyula Kiss, Tata, Hungary
Very nice, keep up the great work.
Looks like a big fire station!!!
Next station tour can you do a talk about station 20 please?
Seems like a solid more senior (mature) fire station crew!
Pierces are excellent units where I live in Bangor Maine my communities Fire Department has a fleet of them
I like the recepie idea! That's cool!
I've got a question if you was to have a big fire at the fire house would you be able to put it out your selves or would you have to call for back up?
They will fight it just like it's any other structure fire however if they're unable to get the rigs out in enough time then they'll use the other rigs that come on in for backup
Questions:
What the ranks of the North/South & West Metro Fire Rescue?
Whos the head Chief of Training of South and West Metro?
Your videos are really motivating me to become a firefighter it looks like an amazing and fun job. Keep up the amazing work with the videos!! And I was wondering if you can send me a hoodie because they seem really amazing and I’ll love to have one
Can we see another day in the life of a firefighter here soon?
I was looking forward to submitting my recipe
☹️
Bit late, but what is the story behind the Hoff (2007?) framed in your foryer?
I love all of this. My wife is in training right now. You should invest in a fumble for the camera.
Awesome looking station and can't wait for the fleet Friday of Ladder 12.

AWESOME LOOKING STATION AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FRIDAY OF LADDER 12 STATION 12
Thanks boys and girls in red
Anyway to buy shirts from the firehouses, would love to rep the brothers and sisters
Can I send Lt. Becker recipes again at some point?
It looks sooooo good
Awesome video like always!
Rehab 12!
Rehab 12!
Rehab 12!
Great video, although i think the little things like making the drone footage less choppy and snappy would make it flow better!
This is going to be a good video and a super good station
Will you guys ever do anything on Station 14? I don't think I've ever even seen them mentioned in one of your videos.
Out of curiosity, how did this station gain it's pirate moniker and theme? You mentioned something about stealing calls, and I'm curious what you meant by that.
Pls do a fleet friday on Rehab 12
That is a sexy truck! US flag and Pirate flag just gotta flip flop :)
Wow very nice firetruck I'm a fire volunteer in Philippines
In SMFR is their 1 person thats always on a apparatuses like someone is always on Medic Passenger or like Engine Crew?
The apparatus that are staffed full-time are the suppression (engines and aerials), medic units, and command units. These units will sometimes be unstaffed in favor of specialty apparatus (e.g. brush, tender, rescue, dive, hazmat, etc.) for special call types. SMFR cross-staffs the specialty apparatus with their front line units as they are only used in specific cases and therefore do not need a full-time crew.
Do your fire stations ever get food donated by local restaurants?
Connor where was Jo? I thought he was on A shift
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Where can we get SMFR hoodie?XD
When is the next station Saturday?
dident dise staysen sowe up on the taye in aye layfe ave aye fire fiter?
what if you got a call while doing thiss?
1:32 THESE IS 151 HEORS ON THAT BOARD!
What is the background music called?
I want to become a firefighter when I am older, but I am really skinny, I am wondering what are the physical requirements?
Cardio, weights and eating right. It’s more cardiovascular endurance then anything. Look up south metro a day in the life of an engineer.

@@Taker1966 thanks for the advice, and most importantly thank you for your service. :)
what a cool station :0)
Will there be a day in a life SMFR?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO can’t wait 😄
Could you provide more information on the “Delta” and “Charlie” firefighters, etc. and what those terms represent
Alpha, bravo, Charlie, and delta represent where the people sit on the truck I think
It's not consistent across all fire departements, but "Alpha" is usually the fire fighter in charge (company officer for an engine/ladder, paramedic for a medic unit) - there are a lot of traditional names for B, C and D like "line" and "backup" or "can" and "irons" etc. but the modern thing is just "engineer/driver" and "firefighter 1/2"
For South Metro, Alpha is the officer seated in the front right seat, Bravo is the engineer seated in the driver front left seat, Charlie is the firefighter behind the officer in the rear right seat, and Delta is the firefighter behind the engineer in the rear left seat. The visual representation is below.

Did anyone else back up the video to get a second glimpse of Connor in the fire trucks chrome 😳
Huh?
What does 4 bells mean? 😂
