Jeff did a stellar job! Can’t wait to see what 40’s has in store.
I love these USFD-Stations so much! And everywhere u will find the 🇺🇸 wich present that they all proud Americans! If we show our 🇩🇪 in firestations more then one time, we be called „nationalists“ in a bad way……😔😔
I’m majorly in love with this department, excellent job by everyone I love love love when the firefighter speaks about the history of their station.
Not sure if it's been done yet, but "A Day in the Life" of a Hazmat or Heavy Rescue driver would be epic. Thank you SMFR for always helping the community & educating people about the Fire Service.
lol, well you got your wish. They made the mistake of saying the s word in it too, so they had to respond to a call.
I love all of your videos! Please keep up the great work!
Great review of Station 44 and it's history, and explanation of your responsibilities. Great video too.
man this series is awsome
all you firefighters rock be safe
Love the story behind the patch, always do love hearing the meaning behind them
What a great guy. Awesome
Really enjoyed listening to the Cap, he reminds me with his voice of Jim's dad from American Pie 😂
Nice video!
Excellent tour and explanation of the watch desk.
Love the history of the eagle logo!
Glad you liked it!
Love the videos ❤, keep up the great work
About time !! I almost came to see ST.44 in person lol
Awesome video!
I love your videos they are amazing
What a beautiful house
What a nice Chief, so warming down to earth
Gotta say that buzz lightyear pillow cover goes hard.
Hello everyone from my wife and myself and from NE Ohio. I'm trying to work for SMFR and we love your vidoes. :)
Excellent, thanks for watching!
Stellar job on the video! Great job Cap!!👍🏽🇺🇸
Nice! Another SMFR upload!
you guys are doing so good i now some time your camera go off but keep doing what you do best
thannk you
love the story behind the bird of prey
Great video, very well informed
That red call sign for airport trucks is very interesting because it seems that is in fact everywhere. I'm from Little Rock, Arkansas and the three airport fire trucks there are Redball 1, Redball 2 and Redball 3.
"Redball" is a new one I haven't heard of before now! Very interesting. - Eric
The fire apparatus @ Piedmont Triad International in Greensboro, NC are Smokey units (Smokey 1, Smokey 2, ect.). Also, the station is Station 100, being redesignated from 10 after the merger of Guilford County and Greensboro fire dispatch.
"Smokey" is a really unique radio name!
As a former ARFF I love seeing the ARFF trucks. Is there a dedicated ARFF crew on Red 2 that will rotate to the engine and medic? While the newer stations are nice I like the older houses (I started in the fire service in 1992). Thank you.
Captain did a fantastic job showing off 44’s!
How do we get a copy of the picture that eric took on the wall in the kitchen?
Here's a link to the digital file and you're welcome to download it! www.southmetro.photography/2009-Images/Era-Book-Sunset-Photo/i-wGZsFzL
Nice job Jeff! Big difference from the old REED days, huh?
Recently went through just north of South Metros district. I didn’t even realize it until I saw a north metro station. I have to say you’re area is beautiful. Do you notice the views of the mountains everyday or are you used to it?
I've lived here my whole life and always look at the mountains when I'm out. For me, it has never gotten old! - Eric
Thank you Kim Connor Eric and Lauren how I miss you guys thank you for the fleet Fridays PIO vlogs and station Saturday your friend in Springfield Missouri kyle
Thanks for watching!
Love the chicken behind the tv
Lovely
Good video, did the station have to extend the apparatus bay for Red2 to fit?
Thanks! The bay did not have to be modified to fit the new Red 2.
Would love to see the red respond to a call to the airport
Do they have two stations that respond to the airport? I remember seeing a different station that also had a couple AARF trucks. Was it 35?
Yes they do. In fact the old red 2 was the smaller one. If I am correct old Red 3 became the back up to all of them. Trying to remember from the video if old red 2 is now Red 3?
Station 35 is on the north side of the Airport and was originally a Castlewood Fire Station. Station 44 is on the south side of the airport and was originally Parker Fire Station 74.
Should put Red 2 on Fleet Friday, that would be great to get a tour of that rig and see what it can do.
I think they have, they have one of the old red and the new red
Here's the Fleet Friday video featuring Red 2 th-cam.com/video/X2xsXkZN_mw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gou_7C8WToIb9L77
Whens the next Station Saturday being produced? It's a really interesting series that seems to have disappeared!?
Had a question about the tiller. Is it still gonna be a crew of 4 or will it now be 5?
The current staffing model for the tiller is 4 personnel including an officer, engineer and 2 firefighters. One of the firefighters will drive the rear.
This yellow-ish/green-ish color of Red 2 will be the new mandatory color for all ARFF vehicles in the US as the FAA has expressed their intent on adopting this rule already in effect in european airports in an effort to make this a worldwide norm. It is not currently mandatory, but the FAA already advises new apparatus be painted this way as they will change their rules in the forseeable future. So it's not really tradition, but more future-proofing by SMFR fleet management.
sciphol amsterdam a european airport has red crashtenders. so i do not know from when this color became mandatory but shciphol has not yet implemented it
@@rubenjanssen1672 Well, the dutch are kinda famous for being ... a little different when it comes to air traffic regulations. They pissed of IATA more than one time in the past :)
But you are right, I can't find any hard regulation on the colour of ARFF vehicles in europe at the moment, so maybe I was misremembering that it was already mandatory.
But it definitively is a recommendation in most european countries, just like it already is a recommendation by the FAA, because ICAO is pushing all members to at least recommend the colour after multiple studies have found that this is a very "attention-grabbing" colouring (alledgedly because it doesn't exist in nature, but that's just a nice anecdote, the high-vis effect is meassurable).
@@QemeH To back up Ruben here's a few videos of European ARFF:
Amsterdam Schiphol: th-cam.com/video/IT-8B-HzeAo/w-d-xo.html
Munich: th-cam.com/video/n5FyjkVDyYY/w-d-xo.html
Manchester: th-cam.com/video/uEISaMLhjEk/w-d-xo.html
as a dutchman myself seems reasonabel
@@QemeH
if the colour is recomended on the basis of not being widly forujnd in nature why not use blue?
How many hours are you guys on shift in the south metro fire department?
I think they’re 48/96. So two days on, 4 days off.
Do you have to live within the SMFR districts to work for you guys?
South Metro does not have an in-district residency requirement for employment.
Small question did one of your firefighters moved in Moraga
orinda fire district in California
It's possible that a former SMFR Firefighter works there, but I don't know for sure. - Eric
What are you all going to do when your out of stations to visit?
We'll tour both training facilities, the warehouse and headquarters.
Where do you guys get the Federal Signal cue to bees from? Also. My name is Kellan. Can you give me a shout out on your next video
Hello - South Metro Fire Rescue Centennial, Colorado - I got a few questions.
Question 1. Is there anyway that you could please do more Fire Medics Episodes please.
Question 2. Is there anyway that you could maybe please do more do day in the life as a (something about a firefighter) please. Thanks
P.S I was just wondering about the two questions hopefully you could please answer my questions - let me know please.
Thanks
I agree with more Fire Medics. As for the day in life they have pretty much covered every position involved in operations. Guess they could do administrative positions and watch people sit at a desk and/or in meetings for 20 to 30 minutes 🤣 Actually I would like to see day in the life of logistics and facilities...You know the backbone of any business or organization.
Yes, we do plan on featuring more Fire Medics and ride along videos!
How is Red manned? Engine company splits crew?
The Red is cross staffed by Engine 44. When an airport incident occurs the crew of 4 personnel leaves the Engine and staffs Red 2.
Whens the next one?
Let’s goooooo
This was filmed on a Monday. I think I deserve a patch.
The Capt. definitely leads by example and being involve with his men and women.

STATION SATURDAY FIRE HOUSE 44
😃😃😃😃
Hello sir matchup I bet you I love all your videos
The yellow red 2 🤣🤣
um can we make a game about smfr i made one for yall'
We've seen some Roblox games about SMFR!
Do you have some voice robot which speaking all unit to the mission? In Finland we have similar voice which coming from radio. We call those system: Erica voice robot.
Yes, South Metro uses the FirstIn Automated Dispatch Voice (AVD) which has been named "Lola"
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO We have still sometimes problems and issues whit those: large hospital, where was multiple independents automatic fire alarm systems which automatic give signal to fire station. So when the fire start in the building, smoke extend all over hospital and launch multiple fire alarm systems. Because those systems are independents, they didn't know that there are already units coming in the scene. So Erica give alarm almost all fire station in south of Finland...
Bit off topic… there’s no way your top medic salary is 441,912 dollars… I was that on Firehouse
Top Fire Medic salary for 2023 is $114,239.
Yellow
The vehicle at 13:57 can only be found in Germany at the airport fire brigades. It also has the corresponding name and is called with us airfield firefighting vehicle.
Not necessarily, many US departments that operate on airports operate Crash trucks.
You mean the Panther from Rosenbauer? Or the Z8 from Ziegler? Or the X8 from Magirus?
@@aleks1105 All of them. You'll only find them at the airport. That's what I meant.
@@karstendoerr5378 Das ist auch in diesem Fall ein reines Flughafenlöschfahrzeug. Es wird nur im Einsatzfall von der Besatzung eines Löschfahrzeugs einer umliegenden Wache besetzt und ist deswegen dort stationiert. Es wird außerhalb des Flughafens nicht eingesetzt.
_The above is in german in hopes to clarify to the german colleague, it reads_
In this case this is also a pure ARFF unit. It is (cross-)staffed by the company of a regular engine from a close-by station and is stationed there because of that. It is not used outside of the airport.
@@QemeH , ja, aber das es auf einer"normalen" Feuerwehrwache stationiert ist, ist ja bei uns nicht so. Die haben ja eigentlich keine Strassenzulassung in Deutschland, dürfen aber auch ausserhalb des Flugfeldes eingesetzt werden.
Yes, but that it is stationed at a "normal" fire station, is not the case with us. They do not actually have a road licence in Germany, but may also be used outside the airfield.
im following you can you translate in Arabic in the videos please
Great video but I had to mute him out after a few minutes. Enjoy the series but let Will Ferrell (Justin) be the host from now on. lol
That's rude. Shut up
Lmfaoooo why 😂
There should be an age limit on firefighters
Sometimes people get a little too slow that I don’t trust that man to be a firefighter
Rude shut up
Go to bed old man 😂
With the health/fitness culture of South Metro, I’m sure this captain is fit for duty. Not to mention, with his age also comes years and years of exposure and experiences with numerous incidents that can be passed on to the younger crew. Never count out the old guys, as long as they’re still willing to put in the work and do the job. They’re an amazing resource. Show a bit of respect.
Portland Fire had a Firefighter retire a few years back that was in his late 70s or early 80s. Still fit for duty and passing medical and physical testing. Only reason he was retiring was because his wife wanted to vacation more before they got to "old". Knew another guy who got hired full time at age 45 smoked everyone on the CPAT, He retired at 70. Then there's me 100 pounds overweight and was still passing yearly physical abilities and medical exams. Our new BC of training could not believe I did the wild land pack test (45 pound vest for 3 miles in 45 minutes or less) in 42 minutes. So he made me do it again so he could time me I did it in 39 minutes. Never underestimate us fat and/or old guys Lol.
Stop hating
