One very great rig. I bet 99% of people have no idea what a truck like that costs plus the equipment on it. The last engine / rescue rig in our town was over 700 thousand dollars . You are doing a fantastic job thank you.

2:37 🚑*DAM MEDIC UNIT!!!!* Can't they see they are interrupting "Fleet Friday", but this isn't any "Fleet Friday".....this is ”Heavy Rescue 34 Fleet Friday" 🚨 Another awesome vid....STAY SAFE ALL!!!
I love how I have more tools on my trucks than they have but hey they're not contractors all they need to do is stop it, clean it, save it, or destroy it. I love heavy rescue and fire house tours this is how I organized my business and trucks. I love learning they're organization tricks.
@South Metro Fire Rescue PIO no prob. I have been Listening to your feed on Broadcastfiy For the past week. Im getting Knee surgery next Friday. My Minescus is toast on my Left knee. So i wont be on much.
We have an truck with a cascade system on it it’s owned by the county I live in but it’s operated by the department it’s stationed at it goes out in all confined space rescue calls, dive rescue calls, HazMat calls and all confirmed structure fires if requested by the Chife
Surprised to see the skateboard. I understand the reason they'd said they have it, but wouldn't be surprised to see them skating down the street. Lol. Home Depot must salivate everytime they see the HR pull into the parking lot. Cha-ching $$$.
The truck looks awesome, no doubt, but a serious question: wouldn't it be much more maneuverable, if the compartments were designed to make more out of the available space and thus fit the same equipment on a more compact truck? Just look at 1:17 , 1:24 or 3:20 - there's so much unused space above the equipment or most sub-compartments with the equipment; Only few of the compartments use all the available space. Sth which might seem a bit strange to me is how much equipment is stored in seperate bags. How old is the truck? It's been some time that I saw window crank handles on an emergency vehicle
@@hyfavey SOME extra space is okay, but having like 50% of the available space left doesn't make sense to me. Our apparatus are pretty crammed, using every inch of available space ... but they still find a solution to store additional pieces of equipment; Same thing on our EMS units
I might have missed it in the video but is there an assigned crew for the Heavy Rescue? Or is it cross-staffed with the Tower Truck? Also, it appears as both the Heavy Rescue and Tower Truck have "temporary" number 34 placards on each. Are they both reserve units? If so, where are the actual units?
Rescue 34 is cross-staffed by the crew of Tower 34 when needed. In this video, Tower 34 was using a reserve aerial. Since 2013 the front line aerials, engines, tenders and staff vehicles use decal numbers. All Medic units and reserve suppression apparatus have interchangeable number plates and wildland apparatus have magnetic numbers.
nice truck but a curiosity with a good chunk of the truck for collapse does it carry a Kenedy Probe or simmaler pole based listning post used to go through collapse rubble to hear sounds like moaning/breathing
I included the link for the talking points but in short it is more stable, cheaper, faster at cutting, and all around better for rescue work. www.petrogen.com/Images/downloads/Petrogen%20v.%20Acetylene.pdf
Do y'all have digital multimeter for checking wiring.& test lights.& sprakplug tester to that lights up.& one that is made from briggs& stratton engines company to.,or echo.
I just watched the tour of station 32 and I am wondering what are the big air duct like things that are attached to the engines while they are parked in the station?
Ethan Bishop They are exactly what you said. They are large air ducts that vent to the outside of the building So that when the engine or truck is started when they’re getting ready to go to a call, the exhaust fumes from The engine is not released into the interior of the firehouse.
What happens if there truck gets a call and while on scene of one call rescue 34 gets a call would they leave the scene or would the heavy rescue call get passed on to west metro or another neighbouring fire department
Typically they wouldn’t be dispatched to another call whilst on an active call. At least that is how we do it. A different rescue would be dispatched to that.
The winch behind the anchor is an excellent use of space y'all. The SMA on the firefighter tells me you guys are 800 MHz trunking, are the confined rescue com-ropes strictly closed-circuit or are they relayed via a repeater over the fire-ground talk-group? I'm asking for a friend. Excellent tour and nice tactical.
Great video once again! I love fleet Friday. What is that piece of equipment strapped to the dash to the right of the MDT at 28:36, the thing with the trigger?
With how many vehicle vs building calls, technical rescues, and working fires, and with how big your district is, is there plans to permanently staff rescue 34, and get new heavy rescue sense South Metro is an ISO class 1 department?
Might be a bit late to get a reply but are the stoplights at the intersection there tied in to the station, or did they just get lucky with green lights both times they were dispatched?
Cant say for sure what he is wearing but we have several firefighters that have a similar setup and wear class 1 body harnesses and attach cordage around their leg to make it into a modified class 2 seat harness that is used as a bail out system
Kenny is correct all South Metro Firefighters are issued and required to have a self rescue bailout system incorporated into their turnout pants. Many on the Towers incorporate a ladder tether into it as well.
A significant vehicle vs. building event will usually get a Collapse 45 response alongside Rescue 34. Collapse 45 carries additional lumber for shoring.
I think you mean pneumatic. He says a few seconds earlier that they are powered by putting pressured air into them then locking with the spinning thing.
@South Metro Fire Rescue PIO In the video at approximately 17:55 To 17:59,...,What's the chances of a brother in blue and also some full time & volly fighters finding some of them, and purchasing one for myself for my unit at work, and also the full-time and volly depts in my area are watching and are very interested too and they would like to purchase several! If we new the exact name for it, we could look it up ourselves and see if we could even find and purchase the tool, but we don't even know what it's called, nor have we ever even seen one ourselves, because none of are Full Time Fire & Rescue, nor any of are Volly Houses or Guys have one, nor seen one. So all of us are thanking maybe there only made & used out yals way and are not popular or even made it out this way yet, cause everybody we have showed locally has no clue what it is, or it's use, but like I said I would like to buy one for my unit, and the Volly Guys watching with me would like to buy some for each truck and engine at each house they have, and also all the full Time fighters I showed and asked if they new what it was, they would like to purchase several to have for there Engines, Trucks, and of course there Rescue' s One, Three, and Five, that's if we can find them and the price is reasonable for the city to approve the purchase, I'm sure you know how that goes. But anyways, I guess what me and all the guys in the Middle TN area are asking is, Do you happen to know either the name for the tool, or is it possible to purchase this tool or is it homemade by yal or what's the deal?!? If not, Maybe it could be purchesed threw like Galls or whatever company you might have bought it from?!? Any help from anyone that knows what that tool is @ 17:55-17:59 would be greatly apprieated. Thanks in advance from a brother in blue & Full Time/Volly Guys watching from Middle Tennessee!!!!! Stay safe yal, and watch your 6!!!

Heavy Rescue, the emergency carpenters, mechanics, and repairmen of the firefighting world
Less than an hour away. I am salivating!!!
E One sure knows how to make a good rescue
You should do station tours of all the SMFR stations
Well they took your advice
Hello everyone, a very good explanation of the vehicle, thank you very much!
I love you guys so much thanks for your dedication to this great job I want to be a cop but I respect you guys just as much as the police god speed ❤
That truck is bigger than my hometown's fire department rescue
I love how I have more tools on my trucks than they have but hey they're not contractors all they need to do is stop it, clean it, save it, or destroy it. I love heavy rescue and fire house tours this is how I organized my business and trucks. I love learning they're organization tricks.

Excellent review, now all you need is more firefighters.
@South Metro Fire Rescue PIO GREAT VIDEO!

Any plans to add another heavy rescue since the district has grown? Is this slated for a new rig since it’s a 1999?
Dave Pettersen
The older E-ones are better than the ones rn
what?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO at least a single axle rescue truck or a mini pumper
CAUTION: 2 PERSON LIFT, and he lifts it by himself 😂
I saw that too!
he must be pretty strong then
He’s probably trying to impress someone lol
ALFRED PEREA Hes probably looking for a girlfriend Lmfaoo
When i must have missed it can someone time stamp it
@5:37 what are those cords wrapped around his leg. Is it a safety tether.
Looks like suspenders for his utility/tool belt.
Looking at the Sutphen, it’s a spare truck. Tower 34 normally runs a Pierce.
The next fleet Friday will be on my birthday
After RED1 Collapse 45 or Dive 3?
dive 3
What is red1?
Wow that is so cool , lots of nice equipment sry I missed the live 🚒🚒🚒🚒
This is going to be wicked I wonder if it's part of the state USAR 🤔
That sutphen tower is beautiful
great video guys
Looks like fire trucks is the most special emergency responders ever because they have more tools than anyone else
This is probably a stupid question, but how often are people getting stuck in trenches? Sounded like a lot of equipment was for trench rescues.
Keegan Robinson trench rescues are very rare (5 a year is a lot) but it takes a lot of equipment to Safely extricate someone.
its extremely rare. Here in boston it might happen 2-3 times a year but requires a ton of equipment.
Better to have and not need than to need it and not have it.
Hey Eric, I was thinking the Red trucks for next fleet Friday
I might have missed it in the video but is there an assigned crew for the Heavy Rescue? Or is it cross-staffed with the Tower Truck?

Ya got fuel coming in here and oxygen coming in here and then FIRE coming outta here
adam The bull dog acetylene torch
aidan Kennedy yea it’s a simple yet slightly humorous way of putting it at least I found it humorous
adam The bull dog but it’s not fuel
@@aidankennedy6587 it is tho he actually says it’s a gasoline oxygen mixture last time I checked gasoline is what Americans call fuel
this is why i’m glad to live in south metro
Rescue 34 sponsor by shamrock foods XD
You should really give them thumbs up, I mean they work hard
Coolest truck out there
nice truck but a curiosity with a good chunk of the truck for collapse does it carry a Kenedy Probe or simmaler pole based listning post used to go through collapse rubble to hear sounds like moaning/breathing
Whats next? New Tender 34?
Question what is New York hook and a Colorado hook? What's the difference
I know his is about Rescue 34, but Medic 34 looks awesome too.
Have you ever thought about doing a live scanner feed for south metro fire online ?
They have one you can listen to it on pulse point and on Broadcastify
Why do they use an oxy-gasoline torch instead of an oxy-acetylene torch?

I like the sutpen tower ladder
Demon It’s actually a reserve for the velocity.
@@denverfirebuff so they go t 2 tower ladders there?
Demon no
Love SMFR!
What is rescue 34 powered by Cummins Detroit maxxforce
How about red one next. Would love to see the arff units!!
RED 1 and 2 are going to be out this week.
Nice truck!!! I like e one!
Does Tower 34 have more equipment than other Towers because it assigned with Rescue 34
I think Nick Kuhn was a firefighter at west grove fire company
What happens if there truck gets a call and while on scene of one call rescue 34 gets a call would they leave the scene or would the heavy rescue call get passed on to west metro or another neighbouring fire department
Typically they wouldn’t be dispatched to another call whilst on an active call. At least that is how we do it. A different rescue would be dispatched to that.
@@lindanwfirefighter4973 South Metro only have one rescue rig
What sirens do all of the fire apparatus have?
Got any snatch blocks for the winch on the front?
The winch behind the anchor is an excellent use of space y'all.

How many feet of the air hose is on that reel?
Great video once again! I love fleet Friday.
What is that piece of equipment strapped to the dash to the right of the MDT at 28:36, the thing with the trigger?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Cool, Thanks!
Does SOUTH METRO have semi tow truck or are they thinking about getting one that seems to be the new vehicle fire departments are getting.
What do you use if a person jumps from a roof?
Jumping from a roof is not advised and they will try to rescue the person using a ladder.
Even if the roof is taller then the ladder yes i know thats where ladder trucks come to play
How many more fleet Friday’s
I like the fleet video, but what about some equipment back overviews, such as the main and belay bag.
Any Of the kits would be awesome to see into.
Hi seeing how this unit is getting pretty old is there any talk of a new rescue or how it not hit is end of service life yet cheers from Australia
With how many vehicle vs building calls, technical rescues, and working fires, and with how big your district is, is there plans to permanently staff rescue 34, and get new heavy rescue sense South Metro is an ISO class 1 department?
Who makes that rope with intercom?
Hey Guys, So Rescue 34 is cross staffed by Tower 34 Crew?
That is correct
I'm assuming you guys also have designated air truck as well
Ah the the beautiful thing that is the rehab truck
Might be a bit late to get a reply but are the stoplights at the intersection there tied in to the station, or did they just get lucky with green lights both times they were dispatched?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Very cool, thank you for taking the time to reply.
command module in the cab, which has since been replaced with jump seats What happen? not need command anymore ?
What is the longest truck you have with SMFR without being articulated (like hook and ladder truck)? What is the length?
Where can I buy the shoulder bags / sling bags?
Anyone know what the fireman has on his right thigh?
Cant say for sure what he is wearing but we have several firefighters that have a similar setup and wear class 1 body harnesses and attach cordage around their leg to make it into a modified class 2 seat harness that is used as a bail out system
@@kmafire33 Can you show some sample video with this solution?
Kenny is correct all South Metro Firefighters are issued and required to have a self rescue bailout system incorporated into their turnout pants. Many on the Towers incorporate a ladder tether into it as well.
Anybody notice how one of the door handles is missing (rear driver side door)
From the videos of this rig I've seen, that specific panel doesn't even have a door.
So with that vehicle vs. garage what if they run out of lumber then what? Is it a home depot run?
3260matt idk about their dept but mine will call in a neighboring dept that’s not on scene to bring more supplies if needed
A significant vehicle vs. building event will usually get a Collapse 45 response alongside Rescue 34. Collapse 45 carries additional lumber for shoring.
I see the Sutphen towers every now and then, are they just reserves at this point or are there any still a part of the main fleet?
As I understand, South Metro maintains two Sutphens in reserves. I believe the current reserve Sutphens previously ran as Tower 35 and Tower 45.
3 : 20 are the cylinder Aerial or Hydraulic?
I think you mean pneumatic. He says a few seconds earlier that they are powered by putting pressured air into them then locking with the spinning thing.
That is one long big vehicle
I guess only 1 door in back for crew so they dont get out on roadside?
Do Red 1, collapse 45, dive 3, a regular medic unit not the big one and the snow cat
Do you have any plans to replace the rig?
