Colorado Problems

- Despite snow on the ground along north facing hillsides, the Colorado Front Range has seen Red Flag Warnings issued for low humidity, gusty winds and dry fuels. SMFR Firefighters recently assisted our Douglas County neighbors at Larkspur Fire Rescue with a 150 acre vegetation fire in their district. In this vlog we take viewers to a unique event where Hazmat Teams from across the Denver area gathered for training and showcased their equipment, and to Centennial Airport for ARFF apparatus acceleration testing on the runway. We share the first images of Tiller 34 being built, introduce our new PIO Makenzie, and share patch shout outs!

I am looking forward catch brand new Hazmat 38 Hazmat 17 engine 23 Diver 31 Diver 16 and extra engine company tower 35 going to full house response to commercial structure fire
@@HFDfirebuff2022 I got close... I got just the reserve today! I'll keep trying.
@@1105firephotography I know but I love film going full house response
Can’t wait to see the tiller going through the testing grounds at the Public Safety Training Center here in Appleton!! I work at the airport right next door, KATW and drive by the testing grounds every day.
Welcome, Mackenzie! Glad to have you here along side Eric!
McKenzie is a great addition to the PIO team , Great hire SMFR!!!
Welcome, McKenzie! Glad to have you here!
Welcome, McKenzie! Hope to meet you soon. I went through the SMFR Citizens Academy in 2018, and these videos are always very interesting.
You did correctly say Vedauwoo. It is a Native American name for a grouping of rock formation between Laramie and Cheyenne Wyoming off of I-80. It is Romanized Arapaho meaning earth-born. Pretty cool place to go and hike and rock climb in my opinion.
"Listened to scanners".......I like that. Great addition to your team
Props to you for pronouncing Vedauwoo the Wyoming way!
Congratulations MacKenzie on the new job and can't wait to see the new tiller for south metro
Nice to meet McKenzie your latest PIO. Sounds like she has a lot of experience in front of the camera and reporting so I am sure she will be a great asset to SMFR. Nice to see HazMat joining forces to be very effective in handling those types of situations. Looking forward to SMFR adding new apparatus to the fleet and getting a sneak peek as well. Great video.
talking about the winter wildfires... we do have them over here as well (and it is the second highest risk season that we have especially now with no more fully covered snow areas)
a lot of dry brush and vegetation in winter puts it to higher risk levels, the only difference being that there is often icy roads when it is winter wildfire season now (and yes, a lot of people forget that fact in winter when just because it is cold doesn't make it less flamable when it comes to materials)
so yeah, luckily this time we didn't have any larger fires in our vegetation... but still quite a few smaller ones during winter
Welcome Abroad McKenzie
I'm so excited that Vedauwoo patch made it, and you guys even ponounced Vedauwoo correctly!
Always the most interesting topics and coverage

hammer 1 is such a beautiful truck
cant wait to see the tiller i never knew SMFR would get a tller
Love y’all!
Welcome to the SMFR community Makenzie
I was surprised, a handful of years ago, to learn that there are two fire seasons, and it seems that the colder, dryer part of the year is worse.
Nice picture of the tiller. How is mommy Connor doing. Monroe Wisconsin in one of our southern city before you in Freeport Illinois. Hope later this year you be looking at the tiller when it gets farther along. Good oh Appleton.
I would love a PIO in cars series where we meet the whole PIO team!!
Hi Eric welcome McKenzie hope you guys have a safe weekend your friend kyle In Springfield Missouri
You should do a day in a life of a fire chief.
Yall should get powercall sirens on fire trucks like the PIO car, that siren would fit good with the trucks
Welcome
What does she drive I love the new pio rides
As far as arff 1 thru 4 maintenance wise do you guys take them to fleet or does fleet send people out to fix them
I have a few questions about the fire on ida ave
1. Every unit that responded and what they did on scene
2. Did the cats make it out OK?
3. When I was listening to the call on PulsePoint, I heard them say you have reached your 20 minute point would you like rehab and logistics can you tell me more about that?
Was SMFR requested or did send any brush trucks to the Smokehouse Creek Fire in Texas
No requests came in from TX for these fires but we did just send a type 3 brush engine to Illinois for a severity assignment. This is a first for us - going to Illinois for wildland. Guess they had a dry winter and are now in critical fire conditions.
Can’t wait for a fleet Friday on the New hazmat 38 speaking of how is 17’s liking there new hazmat rig
Eric did you get a new PIO vehicle because that doesn’t look like your truck your in?
I think it is??????
Would you guys like a Barnstable MA fd patch?
We need a day in the life of Connor
What fire departments are in the metro area?
Is Brian gone already? Or is this a separate position. Seems like you guys are churning through PIO staff
Brian, Eric and Makenzie are all on board. We are full staff and going strong.
Welcome McKenzie
Why were Safety 18 and 35 renumbered to Safety 1 and 2?
Welcome Mackenzie Eric if I wanted to send a patch to you guys how would I go about it
I need a link for purchasing shirts
Are Station Saturdays done?
We still have a few more stations to feature. Station 40's video will be posted soon.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Why so much time in between?
@@connorpickett2026I imagine because there's other stuff going on that they have to focus on
New PIO Rig? Does not look like a truck....
it's a 2020 Ford Expedition
Are PIOS Firefighters?
Some are, some aren't. Eric for example came up from firefighting, while a few others come from media training.
But they get a basic training, including a command course, so they are able to size up an incident and relay information to dispatch if they ever happen to be the first on scene or are asked for help by a member of the public.
they can be. Eric was a firefighter
Oh welcome Mckenzie!
how to join you?
Do you like being a fire fighter?
Did you guys end up sending any back up to the AirForce academy fire or was it to small
When’s the next statuon Saturday it’s been six months
Looks like you have a new car Eric
How many pios do you go through per month
I would hate to be the one having to test the airport fire engines and going 40 to 0 MPH
I Want 2 Trade Patches And My Version Of The Tiller W/Connor
