- Ride along with Ladder 12 as they arrive first due at a working house fire where a witness rescued a person and no one knew if anyone was still trapped inside. Also in this Vog... Lightning struck a natural gas meter that burst into flames on the side of a home and more first arriving helmet cam video from a fully engulfed vehicle fire.

it’s so crazy to me how pitch black and blind it actually on the interior of a smoke filled structure, these fireman are so calm and controlled throughout any situation that they have to deal with. I am glad to see these amazing people and I hope to become someone that is in the department.
Do it. You’ll discover strengths you didn’t know you had until you are placed in the position for them to be unleashed. Don’t doubt yourself, trust your desire to join and trust your training. In one year you’ll be amazed at who you have become.
Our firefighters have a difficult job, I'm a proud cousin of a firefighter/paramedic, I have to give you men and women a ton of credit, you have such a difficult job that's not for everyone, thank you to all of our firefighters and paramedics for all you do ❤️🙏🇺🇲
My first cousin is fire fighter as well and ex marine.
You guys should definitely find more of Interior Firefighters POV, or make some sort of compilation. I found it to be thrilling.
Incompetence is thrilling to you?
@@JB91710 where was anybody incompetent?
@@Fire-se9sg don't mind him, hes a troll on every fire video. obviously he knows more than a Class I Department
@@Fire-se9sg Read all my comments where I spell everything out.
Agreed!
This is the most well done fire video video I’ve ever seen so far and is exactly the type of content I am looking for and needs to be done by more departments. You got helmet cam video, radio coms audio, on-screen text descriptions, & PIO breakdowns of incidents. I feel like if this department does more videos with all those components they could rival the Stockton CA FD channel (which produces the best FD video content on TH-cam rn IMO)
When a department has more money then they know what to do with. This is the content you receive.
@@HAWKSTA24 or you could be less cynical & jealous and recognize many public servants invest their own money into their career - certainly meaningful training if Dept paid.
@@HAWKSTA24 Thats called "well funded and adequately equipped"
This department doesn't get a fourth of the work Stockton does.
They gotta do all the "Day in the life" of a guy on the couch vids.

Thank you to all the First Responders who are ready to put THEIR lives on the line for other people. You are one of the most brave groups of people in the world. Thank you.

@@markevan1 but he still went in right, or did he not?
@@markevan1 get out of your parents basement and apply if you think you could do better.
Really appreciate you putting your department out there for all to see. It’s a service to all fire departments. Most departments resist any public exposure, takes courage to put yourself out there.
Thanks for your feedback!
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO thanks for the pach
As a FNG in a super small volunteer hall, I have been devouring any useful info I can. Yours has been some of the best. Excellent work!
Thanks for watching! We're happy you're finding them educational.
Going in without a hose line most scariest thing ever no hose to find your way backout takes a special breed staying calm is a under statement thank all first responders for what you do.
My God!! Seeing this really shows the absolute heroism of these men!!! Heroes All !!! Thank you Firefighters for all you do!!!
Excellent job on the car fire for popping the left rear tire to prevent a tire explosion and the vehicle from rolling backwards.
Before watching the entire video, a compliment right off the bat: Thank you for including the responding apparatus in a written note on screen. Before I always tried to get it from the radio call we can usually hear in the cam footage, but it was incomplete or garbled a lot of times. Like this I know I have the full picture. (And I am very interested in this because I like comparing with international fire departements, including "meassuring" a call for the appropriate response.)
Hey QemeH, don't forget when you compare departments to also compare apparatuses. Remember that North American style rigs tend to carry more people and gear then European style ones, so the level of response may be different due to manpower and gear requirements. I've never seen a European style truck that can hold more than 4 people but some NA style trucks can take up to 10. Just some food for thought. Cheers o7
@@Stargazzer811 That is a really interesting response, because I was under the impression that it was exactly the other way around...
NA apparatus, as seen here with SMFR, is usually staffed by 4 firefighters (both truck and engine), while command vehicles (Battalion and Med One) are driver only.
European rigs, however, usually carry 6 firefighters in career departements (down to 2-3 for specialized vehicles like an aerial platform or rehab unit) and 9 firefighters in volunteer departements, while command units usually have a driver/radio operator PLUS the actual commander.
The german standard for example is a tactical value of 0/1/8 (called a "Gruppe", i.e. group), which in most career departements is split between an engine/pumper/truck (0/1/5) and an aerial device (0/0/3). The idea is to have two 2-man teams (one for "attack", which I guess you would call "inside work", i.e. looking to make entry asap and begin primary search - and one for "water", which you'd call "outside work", i.e. jacking a hydrant, ventilating or assisting with making entry) plus the driver/engineer plus the commander on the front line apparatus - and then a third 2-man team on the aerial device to perform rescue and/or attack from above plus driver/engineer of that rig (if the group of 9 responds with just one apparatus, the "second driver" would be called a "message runner", i.e. radio operator, assistant to the commander and what you'd call a safety).
@@Stargazzer811
Important is not how many people a fire truck can carry. Important is how many firefighters are on the truck.
Fir example: Fire engines at my, german, fire department are regularly staffed with 6 firefighters.
This channel is probably the best Fire Rescue channel I've ever seen
Thank you!
This is brilliant. I’m working as an EMT right now for an ambulance company so I don’t get to see too much of this type of action yet. Headed to fire academy right after I finished up paramedic school. Really look up to all these guys and seeing this video was incredible
Not sure how this popped up in my feed but the first part was scary to watch. My father retired in the 80s as an assistant battalion chief of a large city fire department. I was always, and still am, so very proud of him for serving the community in such a dangerous job. My heart goes out to all public servants. Their jobs are so very difficult. My father would only speak about the routine jobs and never about the heart breaking ones. My thoughts and prayers are with all our public servants. Thank you for what you do!
I love this format of presenting multiple incidents. Wonderfully done.
As a retired Marine, Mass respect for these brothers.
This is what I was referring to in my comment on the July video. Good job bringing what we love back PIO’s. And fantastic work SMFR!
Great video you guys. I espically liked the point of view from the lieutinent on the house fire and then to hear that 9 year old saw the fire, went and told his dad what was happening, and then his dad calling 911, very well done and great teamwork
The tools used and the way they are employed is phenomenal. Great work!
Risking your life for total strangers takes a very special kind of person. Very blessed souls! I have so much admiration!
Thank you firefighters everywhere. Much respect and appreciation for you 🙏🏼
Stockton and South Metro have the best videos!
I LOVE the way your crew addressed that car fire! The fuel fire component is something that really confounds some departments.
I’m so thankful for brave men like this. Thanks all first responders and military
Guys, great video, thank you. Keep 'em coming!
The L12 Fireman convinced it’s a basement fire while the whole garage is rippin is hilarious
perfect video and amazing footage team. Kepp those POV coming and I love the small information you put up.
Heck of a job by the truck boss repositioning that line and cooling those hot gases so they can continue searching
One of the best video, really like the point of view from the firefighter would love to see more of these, great work
Holy cow the amount of TH-cam binging I can do for watching real firefighters at work. Plus this is immediately better than any episodes from Station 19 or those shows.
Firemen get way less gratitude than they should.
Police get praise all day from most of society, but firemen should be praised more often.
After writing this it made me think...... all first responders, Dr's, nurses etc, should all be appreciated!
Great video & explanation.
Super cool! There is so much value in these kinds of videos
I just stumbled across this channel and have to say, I've never seen real life firefighting documented so well. I've always been fascinated with firefighting, but getting a look inside an actual burning structure & how crews handle it in a live situation is not something I've come across before.
Congrats on the Silver Play Button! I couldn't help but to notice it hung neatly in a prominent place on the back wall ;-)
Thanks!
Great job presenting this. Very watchable. Keep up the good work.
Wow awesome video. So cool to see the amazing work you guys do in a city I frequent!
Love your videos. Thanking for sharing all the info. Watching from Texas....🤗🤗
hey there you guys rock thank you for all your hard work
Great channel, !!! Thank you for these videos!!
Good video thank you for everything that y’all do 😎
You guys are absolute hero’s
Thank you.
I love all the helmet cam in this video! Should definitely keep doing it!
It’s incredible how badly people freak out when they should remain calm
Thank you Kim Connor Eric and Lauren miss you my friends kyle In north Springfield Missouri
I am from Florissant Missouri
Good ole Greene county
I've been doing the job for 10 years now, I've seen many of your videos and I do think south metro is the best department in the country. We use some of your videos for training and our department has gotten better because of it, so thank you for that
One of the best. There are MANY very good FDs out there!
Wonderful video! This is my first time seeing you guys and boy am I glad ! Great job team.
Thanks for watching!
Nice..👍👍
Two enthusiastic thumbs up..
From the fire fighters to the PIO's.. Perfect..
Damn!!! One of the Best Fire Videos I have Ever Scene!!!!!!! Be Safe out there guys and god bless you!!!
Awesome video, hope to see more of these!!!
Love the video and the helmet cams are always the best
Great vlog´s, super channel and good work! Greetings from a firefighter from germany, lowersaxony.
Thanks, South Metro. Another great video. We have also used your videos for training and to help fiction writers.
As an aspiring firefighter these videos are invaluable, thanks for sharing!
Awesome work guys keep it up 👩🚒🚒🚨🇺🇸
Great responses. I like how they chocked the one wheel and the firefighter deflated the other wheel. 👍👍👍
They should have used the deck gun. Too long to get water on the fire. Moving slowly. Truck blocked ingress. Sad.
The real hero’s that help save lives in this country.
You can tell “pinky” is a seasoned vet. Not rushing, getting the job done
❤️…God bless all of them…protect them… so scary…!!!!
love that lauren keeps nodding to confirm what eric is saying in the beginning ^^ oh and ofc awesome video as allways keep it up
God bless you all. You are so professional. What you do is so intense and selfless. Thank you 🙏🏻🥰🇺🇸🙏🏻.
Thank you so much!
I love the helmet cam footage!
Great video, but I would adopt taking a line in with the entry team so they don't get trapped with fire behind them. Also to cool it off so they don't have to stop searching to get a line.
I heard about a lot of this through your guises Facebook page you guys take some very good pictures I will say keep on with the great work guys
Real men and women total respect
When they pull out a 2.5 inch line for a single story residential fire they aren't screwing around. Great video.
Agreed, as the saying goes big fire, big water.
While I’d like to help people I couldn’t be a firefighter thick dense smoke would trigger my anxiety quick kinda like me
Feeling like there’s no way out I don’t understand how you guys keep calm in these type of situations but I commend you first responders for everything thing y’all do!
That civilian better get a life saving award!!!
The video is awesome! Bout the best I've watched, the screen in screen was cool to.
Well it’s like I’m back on the job but in slow motion. Nice job. Our ladders don’t have H20 so showing up 1st isn’t always the best but we would find a way to get it done&search anyway 👍
Nice work on that car, got water underneath the chassis and on the gas tank first, as well as deflating the tires!
people seriously dont realize how traumatic it is to be a firefighter, they are the first to see and bear the victims and their deaths... They truly go underappreciated.
Great video. Kudos from our Station in North Carolina to yours. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
I think i have seen everything but you do very good videos❤️
Nice job. I always enjoy these videos. Another option is for the driver to make sure they have an adequate water supply, meanwhile the officer does his 360 and the 2 firefighters in the back stretch the line and prepare for attack. They can spend a few seconds knocking some down before entering, making conditions cooler, which would be better in case of any victims and better for the search crew. Also, if the officer needed to go inside, he could've passed command to the next arriving officer so he/she could be with their crew, unless the BC made it to the scene first.
As Lt. Sinnett said back when he was Safety 35, "all of my technology" came in clutch for the helmet cams.
I salute firefighters ,Ambulances , Police and all the heroes all over the world!!!!!.
This looks like it is exactly how it should be done. Pull up, pull a pre-connect, and like magic, water. Why is this soooo hard for other departments? It always appears like the engineers fall short.
Many departments may be understaffed, undertrained, or have water supply/pump issues. These would be the most common reasons.
They were incompetent to an extreme that was utterly ridiculous, and you think they did great? If you were laying on the floor in that house, you think they did good IGNORING that exterior fire for that long?
@@coneplato6702 Excuses, excuses, excuses! Four Competent workers with one engine with 500 gallons of water could have handled everything here. They had for times what they needed and didn't!
@@JB91710 hahahah there he is . the coward skier . let me guess deck gun from 10 blocks away cause it’s safe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@JB91710 Misunderstanding. My apologies. I was referring to the car fire.
More of these please
Love your videos I’m a big fan
I learned about firefighting today. It made me check if my smoke alarms inside my house are properly working 🙂
That's great!
Great job 🚨🚒🧑🚒
Hey Eric, I love watching the South Metro Videos! I was wondering if you could do a video on all the camera gear that you have as a PIO and other PIOs?
Thanks for watching and sharing your suggestion!
SMFR should allow citizens to purchase shirts with the SMFR Community logo on the front and each station's logo on the back. It would be a unique way to support each fire station.
They do have merch! On their tiktok it’s in their bio
@@AIDannnnnnnnnnnn tiktok sucks tho.
Great video and thanks for the ride alongs. Does South Metro do ride alongs for the public? You guys are my favorite fire dept in all of Colorado
Yes, you may check on their website. Must be at least 18 from what I last checked. The website will include more!
@@Cyedae thanks
Yes! Please visit this link to learn more. www.southmetro.org/610/Ride-A-Longs

Fantastic channel!!!
Thank you!
Good job 👍
God bless stay safe God loves y’all all I hope everyone has a blessed day and great day ✝️🙏✝️🙏
“What do you see?”
my reflection
This video was great
Keep up the good work
Peaky is a bad dude!!!!!! Definitely would want to follow his lead!!
love the blue nails for your off sider we need to get him a wig lol all the fire fighters accross america canada stay safe from australia
Is there a video of all the patches yall have? That would be interesting to see.
Omg that’s intense 😮
Thank you from Hannibal Missouri I watch your videos every time
I remember when my neighbors house burned down. We live in a very rural area. They brought 4 tankers, and drained the local creek dry. Total loss, burned for 3 days. Chimney fire
Excellent video! I definitely would love to see more POV's from your crews. I noticed that in the structure fire L12's alpha team noted above normal hotspots away from the fire. While I have no formal training, I can only surmise that this was because the fire spread through the underside of the floor in the basement of that home. Great work on the car fire too; took L12's crew very little time to knock it down to a safe level, and I also noticed EMS Sup Knutson was on scene for that one; loved his Day in the Life video! That gas meter fire was wicked though, never seen one honestly but glad nothing else was damaged. Bravo to that kid for being so vigilant!
Hi from London Ontario Canada
I have a question In the car fire why did they puncture the tires and chock one of them? Great video. Thank you all brave firefighters
