- On this Vlog Eric and Lauren discuss a fire caused by a lithium-ion battery that was left charging. Just hours later and only a mile down the road, a 2 Alarm condo fire occurred. Drawings of the new Tiller 34 are revealed, they share video from Academy 23-1 Hell Night and of course, patch shout outs.

I appreciate the joy on Lauren's face and satisfaction she gets out of giving Eric the hardest to pronounce patches.
As nice when she actually spoke !
Note to self, sort the patches with intent to flip this narrative next time ;-) Eric
Shout out to your SMFR dispatchers. Sounds like they do a great job, and a job that doesn't get acknowledged enough.
100% South Metro Dispatchers are top notch!
Thank you for sharing how to charge lithium ion batteries safely I always make sure to unplug my ego lawn mower battery after it’s charged
Cannot wait for the tiller!!!! ill have to plan a trip out there once it goes in service!!!
June 2 was a busy day, I rode about 10-15 miles
@@1105firephotography my bike to both of the fires
Good Comm's not tons of convo's waiting to hear from Command, great structure, first Pump on scene looks like they started the knock down and radioed they needed water (truck probably has 250/500 Gallons can't tell cause I can't see Pump), Command clear instructions leaving the radio open for import comm's. Great comm's on trucks arriving and placement. Funny ,I have seen this many times and its usually the exhaust fan, NOT saying it is but have seen this many times. Great channel, enjoy it, keep up the great work.
Engine-37 was 1st-due on both fires, it's a 2014 Pierce Dash 1500/650/30
@@Autofleet4429 And the irony is, the old Station 15 is roughly half mile away from the Glen Oaks complex, while 37s is over two miles away. Not that it would've made a difference in this case, but it never fails that when a department closes a firehouse--even temporarily, as is the case with 15s--there's always a fire that breaks out right next door. Heck, I remember when FDNY Engine 204's own quarters burned down about two weeks after the company was disbanded in 2003!
So nice to see the patch I send! General Dynamics! Love this channel! Amazing FD you guys have! Stay safe fire brothers!
I like to set an alarm when I’m charging my batteries, it helps me to check on them every five or 10 minutes.
Wow, it looked like those were fire walls between condos, but they weren't. Old construction!! I hope they get upgraded when they're rebuilt.
Another great video! Thanks for doing what you do.
Keep up your excellent work. We are lucky to have you.
God bless stay safe God loves yall all I hope everyone has a blessed day and great day
Glad to see you back!
Those F150s are looking great and as an F150 owner myself, I gotta say they are great trucks. I even have Onspot chains on mine. I got them installed this past November. We get quite a lot of snow over here in Connecticut and I have used them after a couple of snow storms.
Great story on the condo fire. Glad to hear the info on the new tiller.
Yet another great vlog from smfr!
You guys should use the old rescue 34 as a reserve for collapse 45
Welcome back and keep the vlogs coming.
A month ago or so, there was a house fire at 5419 Waco St.
It happened behind Trails West Elementary School.
I live on E. Crestline Cir., and Crestridge Dr.
Thank you for showing the fires in this one.
One recommendation Captain Mo who was at 22’s and now with 32’s Is test my detectors monthly.

Great to see u again! Great info on the Lithium ion 🔋! I just did attend an on- line symposium on them.
You guys r grate,.
Awesome. ..😊😊
It's really interesting to see how different fire departements solve the challenge of changing requirements and demands in what we do - and sometimes in completely opposite ways. This Quint is a great example, because what SMFR is basically putting into service is an _eierlegende Wollmilchsau_ (as we like to call these things in germany, it literally means oviparous wool-milk-sow but is used to describe a jack-of-all-trades type of apapratus) - meanwhile other departements solve the ever growing specialization by becoming more and more modual, i.e. by having swap body trucks or pallet cage boxes that can be switched out according to the call's requirement profile.
Thank you for your insight! Very interesting. We'll put "eierlegende Wollmilchsau 34" in the naming suggestion box.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Is Eric gonna say it?
Great vlog.
Glad you enjoyed it!
There have been quite a few big incidents over the last month. Please keep the videos coming, I listen to your calls daily but seeing a different perspective is awesome.
Hello. "Listen to your calls", I'd like to see that. How can I?
@@gwjs414 I use pulse point its really good becasue it is free and it is dummy proof
@@gwjs414 Pulse point or website called OPENMHZ
@@gwjs414 I live in the SMFR district so I have a scanner to listen, otherwise pulse point works
@@gwjs414scanner radio phone app
Do a q&a with the chief please. We get to see all of the hard working frontline staff... it would be neat to talk with their leader.
Thanks for your suggestion! Do you have any questions you'd like us to ask?
HELLO TO SMFR ASK A QUESTION AND ITS ALSO A SUGGESTION OF WATCHING A CALL FOR A FIRE AND MAKE VIDEO OF THE COMPLETE FIRE SCENE.. WATCHING FROM SOUTH GA. LOVE THE SHOW.. BEEN WONDERING WHERE THE SHOW WENT..
Just found your channel and thank you for a great video. The audio and video of the condo fire was top notch and thank you for adding some descriptions for us non fire people to help understand. Question on when they were attacking the fire. It looked like they were using foam. Is this a routine approach or do they change to foam if straight water is not working as they hoped? I thank you for any response to help me understand and learn. I will be looking forward to all of your videos.. keep up the great work. Stay safe to all the people on the job protecting the communities.
Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching! There are different types of foam for different types of material burning. This is considered a Class A or "ordinary combustible" fire and Class A foam was used in some of the hose lines. Foam helps maximize the efficiency of the water by cooling and smothering burning material. It's especially helpful when there's a lot of layered burning material.
Finally it been so long since the last PIO vlog
Last 1 was 4 Months ago.
I no
Yes
Imagine it's just one giant PIO vlog recounting everything that happened in the 4-5 months
@@Thompsonae that will be like a movie with how long it will be
Also, I’ve heard not to use aftermarket lithium ion batteries.
Liked and shared
Any chance you guys were at 15's the other day when 31s was using it as a training prop? That would make for an entertaining episode of Station Saturday--"Hey, guys, watch us burn up our old fire house!"
Also, great job filling in for Denver Health on that Bear Creek water rescue last Friday. I was a bit surprised to see a South Metro ambulance and med unit (?) on-scene with Denver Engine 25, but the Denver guys told me you fill in for Denver Health when they're short-staffed.
Keep up the good work and stay safe.
We didn't have a PIO for the training you saw, but there are more scheduled so we'll likely go and capture some of the scenarios. They're using theatrical smoke which looks pretty convincing!
Denver Paramedics will occasionally call for South Metro Medic Units whenever our resources are closest and most appropriate. The SMFR Dive Team also started responding until the details of Denver's needs were confirmed.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Yeah, I was being facetious about actually burning down 15s' old house. Still, what a great opportunity to train on a real residential structure (sort of). That said, I remember in my early volly days after the major Missouri flooding in 1993, we trained live-fire scenarios several times on a number of condemned, flood-damaged houses. You can recreate a lot in a formal training structure but there's simply no replacement for the real thing, especially in terms of dealing with exposure issues.
When will we get pictures of what the new tender 41 looks like? I've really been wanting to see what it looks like
Pios are cool
I'm going to guess that the condos either didn't have fire walls or not properly done. Or did the fire reach a point that it was above the means of the wall from stopping the spread to adjacent units.
The look of this building was very deceiving! What appear to fire wall breaks are actually just attic draft stops. The building construction is also unique in that the units run the entire width of the building with front and back doors. Many other complexes in our district have similar looking construction with units that back against each other under the ridge line.
What exercises do you guys do to have such fluent comms? It was beautiful to listen to.
Thank you. South Metro bases incident communications on the Blue Card Command system.
What was that MMRS unit early in the first video? I seem to remember seeing it in another video, but can't remember what it is.
Hazmat/Decon
That is Hazmat 17, formerly called Decon 17.
Thank you Kim Connor Eric and Lauren from your friend in Springfield Missouri kyle
Raised walls through the roof fool you into thinking they're firewalls, and would stop fire progression
Exactly! The attic space only had draft stops.
I’m curious, does south metro allow helmet cams? That’s be pretty neat for some inside footage of fires you’re talking about. But either way another great vlog! Keep up the great work & stay safe
Hi Kyle, helmet cams are worn by Safety Officers and a few other personnel. There are a few previous vlogs that show those perspectives.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO oh nice!! I’ll check them out. Thanks for the reply!
Is the complete audio traffic of the 2nd alarm fire available?
Hey Eric and Lauren I have a question, my little sister has this toy keep that she can ride around in and the battery has to charge for it to work and the brand of the Jeep is power wheels so I’m wondering if you know if the battery is a lithium ion battery.
The best way to find out is by referencing the user manual or doing an online search for the product name/model.
Do you have "party wall" requirements for the prevention of spread between adjoining dwellings? The spread seemed pretty fast. (UK perspective.)
At the time these buildings were constructed, no. There were only draft stops in the attic space, no fire walls.
🚒👨🏻🚒💪🏼
Is tower 34 gonna be replacing a station with a older tower or will it be a spare or a whole new compancy?
Current plan is for it to become Tower-35 and current Tower-35 will become a reserve-unit.
Just goes to show you. Dont always trust the firewall!
Great observation! Our Investigators visited a neighboring building and looked in the attic space for comparison. As it turns out, what look like fire wall breaks are just draft stops.
Personally, I think you guys did great as always. Why do you think this was a bad take?
We appreciate that, thank you! That take took a lot more editing than our first one.
What does reporting a header mean? I’m from the east Coast/Long Island, never heard that used before.
Btw the first fire looked like a good, quick know down. As a firefighter and paramedic myself, love your channel, keep up the good work.
Believe its referring to the smoke seen from a distance.
It's heavy smoke being seen from a distance
@@nebraskaninkansas347 thank you, we just say smoke showing lol.
@@Maizefire thank you, we just say smoke showin!
Are you guys still doing the fire medic episodes?
Yes, we'll have more fire medics episodes coming up. Just taking a break while personnel have vacation time.
How much hose do you carry in your high-rise packs.
Sad to see so many homes being effected. Do all modern houses in the US have woodern sheet
roofs with combustible covers ? Here in the UK we have mostly tiled roofs on a woodern frame .
The majority of residential structures in South Metro's district are constructed with light wood frame and orientated strand board (OSB) for roof and floor decking.
Party wall construction fail? Mind you, if it is all wood construction, spread is going to be quicker.
do the south metro dispatchers also dispatch for west metro fire?
West Metro is dispatched by JeffCom. Aside from South Metro, our dispatch center also provides service for Bennett-Watkins, Byers, Deer Trail, Sable Altura, Strasburg and West Douglas Fire Districts.
Did station 37 only have an ambulance before 15s moved over there?
in the Video of the 2-11 / 2nd Alarm Fire i keep hearing Engine 37 and are they in Services or are they part of another Dept of SMFR ?
Engine-37 was Engine-15, it moved to STA37 while their new station is being built, it has now returned to the callsign Engine-15, but continues to be stationed out of STA37.
Exactly. To expand on the details of this... Only the radio name was changed to E37 but the vehicle, SCBA harnesses and helmet identifiers were still labeled as E15, which created some confusion on the two back to back fires. Afterwards, the decision was made to stick with E15.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Ok ^^
Hello from Junction City, Ks I'll try send you our city fire department and the county fire department.
This is one of the worst situations for firefighters with the roof engulfed. Doing an interior attack probably shouldn’t have happened too far into the fire, but these guys and gals know what they’re doing. Great video but sad for those that lost their homes and property
Are they replacing Hazmat 38 also?
Yes, Hazmat 38 is being replaced by a new Freightliner / SVI later this year or early 2024.
What will happen to tower 34? Its not that old. Will it be reassigned or will it just be a reserve?
Current plan is for it to become Tower-35 and current Tower-35 will become a reserve-unit.
Exactly.
Would iPhones/computers/iPads be included in these Lithium batteries?
Wheres med2 stationed at, didnt know SMFR had a med2
Med 2 went in service in February of this year. It is staffed by an EMS Captain and housed at Station 32.
Hi south metro fire rescue, I have a suggestion for you guys. First off my name is Matthew lapointe and I’m a ninth grader but my high school has a first responders program that allows kids to a head start in the firefighting field and ems field, plus it follows academy standards. Anyways we have two fire engines and a quint truck that we’re donating to us from local agencies. So my suggestion/question is can you donate rescue 34 to a school in your area with a similar program like mine.
Mr. Lapointe, you are my hero today.
@@franklewis6943 how
@@matthewlapointe-fu1wq Because you are wise beyond your years, curious and selfless. Wherever life takes you, whether its serving in a public safety role or something else, please don't lose that.
Hi Matthew, that's a great suggestion! South Metro has donated several emergency vehicles to programs or other organizations in need. The schools in our area use fire engines to support their curriculum and need pumps, hose water etc. which Rescue 34 is not equipped with. Before it's auctioned or sold our Fleet Bureau will definitely consider any donation needs.
Why didn't those town house have fire breaks between them ??
Because this complex was built before Centennial adopted that requirement in their building code. Unfortunately, it's usually something like this that impels the people responsible for ensuring that this sort of thing doesn't happen to figure out ways to ensure that it never happens again.
@@franklewis6943 no way really it's been a building code here in New York for as long as I can remember. I've been a firefighter in this state for 34 years both volunteer and paid . That's unbelievable dam I'm sorry hopefully everyone was okay on both sides can't remember if he said no injuries or not .
Can you do more fire medic videos
University Blvd. that’s not the only university blvd.
Both safety officers responded?
On the 1st-Alarm the 2nd Safety-Officer can respond at their discretion, on a 2nd-Alarm both respond.
3 Safety Officers responded to this incident, both on-duty 18 and 35 as wells as one of the facility training and safety officers, #12.
Are camping trailers required to have smoke detectors?
Since camping trailers aren't inspected by fire departments, smoke alarms probably aren't a legal requirement to maintain in most or all jurisdictions. However, we always recommend working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in every sleeping area and one in the main corridor of the camper, similar to a home.

2ND ALARM CONDO FIRE JUNE 2023 PIO VLOG
Will stations 13 and 15 also get new stations 13,14, and 15, look so similar and built around the same time as each other.
Station 13 and Station 14 are actually a few years older than Station 15, but they were designed differently. Their open layout and larger property allowed additions to be added about 10 years ago, so there isn't the same need to rebuild them.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO o ok thanks for the info
South metro hit up my fire department Arlington County Fire Department they would love to do a collaboration

I can pronounce that patch
Why is the ladder truck only a 2 axle shouldn’t it be a 3 axle given it be going out in snow
Nobody in the States makes a 3-axle aerial. Besides, there's a inter-axle differential that locks the front and rear driveshafts to equalize the power delivered to each axle and prevent slippage in low-traction conditions.
wheres connor??

Congratulations to the Denver nuggets on winning their first nba championship
And a huge thumbs down to the revelers who jumped the barricades at the end of the victory parade route, leading directly to DPD Sgt. Justin Dodge being run over by DFD Tower 15 while trying to prevent said revelers from being run over by said apparatus. Sgt. Dodge might still lose his leg but, even if he doesn't, his career as a LEO in general and DPD SWAT member specifically are likely over, just because some fans wanted to get just a little bit closer to the O'Brien trophy for a selfie.

My God! Anybody ever hear the term, Angle of Attack? Get to the top floor, open a Small hole in the ceiling, insert the nozzle open to a medium cone of water and turn it on. Upside-down sprinkler head.
The fire was had already self-vented so your idea would have no effect.
@@franklewis6943 What idea? Putting water on the burning material? I know it's an alien concept for USA fireplayers but take my word for it, putting water or other fire extinguishing materials on burning stuff will stop it from burning.
@@JB91710 No, the idea that a hose stuck through the roof will extinguish By the time a fire burns through the ceiling, the fuel that is feeding it isn't near the floor but closer to the ceiling. Simply sticking a hose through the roof and spraying downward isn't "putting water on the burning material". That doesn't even address a second side of the fire triangle--heat. Again, at that stage of a fire, cooling the floor does nothing to lessen the heat at the ceiling, so the fire there will continue to burn hot and spread, especially when it's already breached the attic space, as it did here. Then there's the issue of putting firefighters on a compromised roof that's already partially collapsed. Even if what you advocate was a logical approach to attacking a fire, placing them in a precarious position to effect it is downright dangerous, and I know of no agency in the developed world that would take such a risk.
That said, you are correct to a degree, and that's why modern building codes require sprinkler systems in commercial (including multi-unit residential complexes) buildings. They might not always provide the water flow to extinguish a blaze but generally are enough to prevent its spread much beyond the origin. Unfortunately, this complex was built before Centennial required they be installed and the results are clear to see here. Had there been a sprinkler system in this complex--as well as fire walls in the attic--it's likely this fire would not have spread beyond the unit where it ignited before the first crew arrived on scene to address it.
@@franklewis6943 I think you need to reread my comment and actually think about what I wrote.
@@JB91710 And I think you need to think about what you write before hitting "Reply".

This channel certainty has gone down hill. Used to be top notch, but after a certain PIO left its been spiraling.
No it hasn’t, you just don’t find the new PIO as attractive as the old one
Thanks for your feedback, do you have any suggestions on how it can be improved?
Terrible and sad!😭
Were is the other girl that was on here a while ago
Connor was promoted and now mainly works with internal communications but still covers as an on-call PIO.
PIO’s are people employed by the fire department that don’t really want to go to fires
We can't speak on behalf of all PIO's, but our team at South Metro is very focused on incident response. We enjoy our job and respond to hundreds of incidents each year.
Where’s Connor? Is she still on maternity leave? Just hoping all is well! Love the video guys! Great work both of you!
