Seeing pickford at 6:06 is like travelling back in time before he did the captain ride along! It's funny because that Captain ride along was the first video that got ne hooked to SMFR. Great work ladies and gentlemen.
I have to admit the work that goes into these videos I am impressed kudos to the dev team of these videos and a huge thanks not only to S.M.F.R. but to all the first responders out there whether it be firefighters paramedics or even police we are truly greatful for you safe responses to all of you
your patch shout-out part thats the 1 st i've seen n heard of so far.... wow 1834 sweet great ride a longs & glad to hear u guy's & crew r all good there.....
Wow, just discovered this channel. Great content and an awesome way for PIO's to feature and showcase department members daily lives, knowledge and abilities. As a former member of the media I remember trying to get any info from PIO's. Most were slow or non-responsive. The media just wanted to inform the public as to what is going on around them and many times we had information breakdowns in the process. You guys have taken it to a whole new level !!!... by not only highlighting your departments abilities but taken it to a proactive educational level. Well Done !! The public wants to support and get behind it's hero's .... We just need to be shown and educated. Excellent way to honor and create good PR for the people that cross the threshold into danger by just going to work!!!
Hi guy's great vlog as always loved the ride along hope to see more of those please take care God bless you all loving the snow can you send some my way please roll on the next vlog bye for now
Just stumbled onto your vlog. Wow, excellent work. Having spent almost a decade with Evergreen Fire Rescue and Physicians Ambulance now way too old to be crawling into burning buildings I'm really loving the snowy Colorado ride alongs.
@@ranginrobert5455 If your going to pretend to work for a department at least know what your talking about. South metro has 5 battalion chiefs. District 1 is the overall shift commander with the 5 other chiefs supervising there individual battalion. District 1 also has a district of his own in which he would be first due.
Hi just come across your you tube channel found videos very interesting I'm from UK but been watching many many videos following American fire fighters have great deal of respect for the work they do I'm really enjoying the videos love to see many more stay safe thank you
Absolutely amazes me how much pride firefighters take in their equipment. Even after driving through all that salt all the time there ain’t a spot of rust on those BEAUTIFUL pierce trucks!
It’s not just about slowing down, a very effective thing to do is to keep appropriate distance between you and the next car. Maintaining a safe gap is as important if not more so. It does not matter what speed you are going if you have no room to slow down and stop.
If your doing a ride along Eric will you help out on any fire operations such as hydrant tagging or a building 360 if you get a worker ? Also Happy Thanksgiving.
I live in northern California in the mountains across the street from my FD and they have told me the most common calls they get are Residential Fires, and car accidents.
Hey connor and Eric , I Live in Camden County Georgia and my father is a fireman up here , i was wondering if you already have a patch from CCFR or not cause id love to send one in for you to add to the wall !!!
so with the double specialty in the station staffed by the same group of guys for both trucks. Whats happens when theres a fully involved apartment fire in the area of the station where both trucks would be very useful at the scene?
I’ve always wondered how much paperwork a line firefighter has to do? I realize supervisors and drivers have the usual evaluations, maintenance logs, equipment breakage, loss, etc. If a firefighter saves someone’s life, discovers crime in a structure, destroys really valuable property while performing his duties, gets injured, etc. does he have a lot of reports, statements to do? Love your vlog. Really professional posts. Thank you for your service and this channel. 😊❤️🇺🇸
Great coverage. Question........do PIO's get dispatched to every working fire? Even in the middle of the night? Is this to document the fire responses or to address media even on a small fire?
great vid, but you CALL that SNOW. Come on up to the great white north (Canada) . 1-2 foot of snow is normal day, 3- 6 feet we take it slow but still make our way to work with no chains LOL .
AMAZING!!! I love it when you guys do ridealongs. You guys should do a livestream ride-along!!! But, I mean I get the HIPPA regulations, but still maybe do more ride-along's?? Question for Eric- Since your a certified firefighter and stuff, when you do ride-along's do you help on calls since your certified and such? Just curious! :-)
Stay focused and positive! When things get rough, just remember how badly you want to wear that badge on your chest. Good luck and greetings from the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Happy thanksgiving Connor and Eric and all of South Metro Fire Rescue
Another great video from SMFR. Definitely would be interested in seeing Med-1 & Tanker 34 as a Fleet Friday.
your patch shout-out part thats the 1 st i've seen n heard of so far.... wow 1834 sweet great ride a longs & glad to hear u guy's & crew r all good there.....
Love the tender. We have a 1994 Kenworth 3D at our department, also a 3,000 gallon tank with a 1500 gpm pump. That thing is fun.
cool
I'm a firefighter from Germany and it's fascinating to see how you work in the USA. Thank you for these videos!

From Florida, it’s so great seeing these winter calls 🤙🏼

Hello Connor and Eric. You guys should do a little history on some of the fire departments of the country and South Metro. Keep up the awesome vlogs

You guys are awesome! Looks like an extremely professional dept, and a great place to be.
Great video, especially despite the weather! Thanks for sharing
Ain't going to lie -- half the reason I tune in is because of Connor's bright smile :)
Love the ride alongs!!!!
Hey guys! It’s Samuel. You should do a battalion chief ride along. That would be cool.
I know a ride along will be cool. I will like it to see a ride along
They ain't gotta batallion chief
@@ranginrobert5455 Yea they do. Are you even from South Metro??
Every department has a chief.
@@ColoradoFireBuff I run south metro idiot! Been here 27 years

PLEASE DO THESE RIDEALONGS EVERY WEEK

I love SMFR so much. I need one of these SMFR hats.
Great vlog, need more of these.
Hi just come across your you tube channel found videos very interesting I'm from UK but been watching many many videos following American fire fighters have great deal of respect for the work they do I'm really enjoying the videos love to see many more stay safe thank you
Do some more of these style videos. These are great
Absolutely amazes me how much pride firefighters take in their equipment. Even after driving through all that salt all the time there ain’t a spot of rust on those BEAUTIFUL pierce trucks!
salt? i think you mean snow?
@@treasurevalleyfirebuff8930 nope, they absolutely mean salt.
even though I completely agree with you, pierce trucks are made of aluminum. salt will still corrode it though, just without the rust
i watched this video before and it was the first video i saw today when i opened youtube this vlogs and fleet fridays always make my day better
Loved this video!
Love seeing station 34 my grandpa worked there a few years back used to go visit him there all the time!

Found your channel by accident. Very cool. I subscribed. Keep up the good work.
Vlog 34 riding with Tower 34? Coincidence? I think not!
And Vlog 17 has Engine 17 in the thumbnail I think.
Noah ur right
Jeremy Bell is there another engine I hope there’re is engine 35

That would be cool for an idea
Honestly love the ride along bit. Do more of it if possible
I love to watch your ride along
Tanker 34 is gorgeous! Goodness!

Great job!
Happy thanksgiving y’all be safe.

It looks too cold the hero firefighters are doing their best jobs and another great video
If your doing a ride along Eric will you help out on any fire operations such as hydrant tagging or a building 360 if you get a worker ?
Also Happy Thanksgiving.
Hey guys love the Videos about The south Metro fire department and it is Way Different from the San Antonio fire department
How do you stop the water from freezing in the tank and how do you stop the water from freezing in the hoses as well. Great video I must say.
Great video this is firefighters are the best Hopefully you'll get my two edmonton fire patches I sent you soon
I really appreciate the videos that you two produce. Did you two work on the line before going into the PIO role?
would love to see a fleet friday on one of the dodge or ford ambulances
Awesome tower!
I live in northern California in the mountains across the street from my FD and they have told me the most common calls they get are Residential Fires, and car accidents.
Украина.Черкассы.Машины у вас👍.Одно заглядение! Люди все позитивные.Спасибо за видео.Удачи в вашей работе!

Awesome Video,

so with the double specialty in the station staffed by the same group of guys for both trucks. Whats happens when theres a fully involved apartment fire in the area of the station where both trucks would be very useful at the scene?
your vlog are the best love you gies
i want to see an day as a life of a pio and a tour of the stations
Hello I love you guys all tho I live in Worcester Massachusetts so but I love the fire department and you guys do a good job you guys have a great day

Lonetree station? I saw my family’s car in the vid. I got this in my recommended so it makes it cool. Cause I’m near lonetree

.
Videos like these are really great. More would be awesome if you have the time to dedicate days to doing ride alongs.
also nice to have 50 foot ladder truck with 1000 gals of water as scene safety/control
Love the videos I miss the job though
Do you see a large issue with station floor damage due to the chains? Also I see they pull the power cord, does the department not have auto eject?
whens is SMFR going to get a new rescue? would love to see it
So tower crew work the rescue unit so what if your out in the tower and a rescue unit is needed?
hey Connor and Eric , how heavy rescues does south metro have ? and does south metro have any light rescue squads ?
Hopefully your Thanksgiving is quiet. Some of the best videos on TH-cam come from South Metro's PIO duet. Thank you muchly for all that you do.
@2:50 , Where did he get that custom red line face mask ?
AMAZING!!! I love it when you guys do ridealongs. You guys should do a livestream ride-along!!! But, I mean I get the HIPPA regulations, but still maybe do more ride-along's??

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Totally understandable and I get it. Thanks for the reply, I'll hope you have a safe/great weekend!
Do crews go out of service temporarily while doing rig checks?
Do they have tire chains on front to? Also does the fire truck have 4 wheel drive?
Cool ridealong
This is so motivating for me as an aspiring firefighter!
Stay focused and positive! When things get rough, just remember how badly you want to wear that badge on your chest. Good luck and greetings from the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
