Congrats on the rigs. Such a multi dimensional department, you guys are leaders in the fire world. Would be interesting to see a plane extraction drill and the different tactics that are used on planes vs. cars.
Great question! Yes, in the event that none of the ARFF apparatus are available, 2 Engine Companies are dispatched in their place in addition to the normal response plan. Airport training for all SMFR crews was completed earlier this year so that personnel are prepared for that possibility.
This was a very well done video and both the Lt and Engineer did an awesome job sharing about all the different features of this particular apparatus 😎👍👍 Fascinating and interestingly humorous that the names are shrek and fiona 😄😄
@ south metro, i understand you all get your fair share of wildland fires, if i may suggest reassigning your reserve ARFF to a wildland station, that is near a major highway. I have done extensive research that is showing a ARFF truck with a 1200-1500 gallon tank would prove ulrea benificial in such a location because it will be able to handle truck fires on the highway and do alot of damage to wildland and field fires.
Great review of Red 2. This is quite the impressive apparatus and has some really cool features. It will be really interesting seeing it in action one day. Thanks for the upload. SMFR rocks.
Hopefully it’s built with a Tier 3 credit pre emissions engine. Tier 4F components will not last 20 years with extended idle time and short cycles. Nice rig!
both STA19&21 needed bigger tanks and it was decided that E19 would go to STA21 and the new E40 would go to STA19, STA40 went into the old E47 and will get a new 1,000gal engine when SMFR place an order for new engines in the future.
Thanks! Red 1 has some different tools but the vehicle itself is identical. The flat head axe has been a sufficient striking tool for the piercing nozzle into airplane fuselages.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO makes sense…is red 1 rescue, so it exclusively has the extrication tools (combi, k saw, dewalt tools etc?) also, in general, for a new rig, does it get an entirely new set of tools (ie hoses, nozzles, ladders, hooks, hand tools, extrication, saws), and then would the old equipment stay with the old rig?
Any particular reason why the lightbar colors are split the way they are? It could just be my OCD, but they seem a bit odd with the red/white in the middle and then red and blue at either end...
What is happening with the old Red 1 and old Red 2? I see the old Red 3 is kept as reserve, is the old Red 2 also a reserve or staffed like it was previously?
Med 2 is the EMS Captain for the shift, and Med 1 is the EMS Battalion Chief for the shift. The new tiller should be in service in 2024 and SMFR just took delivery of a training tiller that we show in the most recent vlog.
It's a nozzle designed to break the skin of a aircraft so you can knock down flames without making entry. Cooling down the interior of a passenger aircraft as fast as possible saves lives . That's especially true since cutting into the aircraft can take time
What kind of a voice is it that says when you have to go out on a call when it says engine 10 battalion chief number for med come ops three medic two tower one what voice is that😊 is it automatic dispatch
The engine options available from Oshkosh are DEUTZ or Scania. Pierce offers Cummins and PACCAR starting in 2021. Before PACCAR, Detroit Diesel was the other options that many trucks are still being delivered with. There have not been very many Pierce trucks delivered with PACCAR engines yet.
I mean, it makes sense. The vast majority of Oshkosh ARFs are sold internationally, and you can find a Scania just about anywhere except most of the USA and Canada.
Hazmat 38's chassis will be rolling onto the production line at SVI soon. Dive 16 and Dive 31 will both be replaced, but specifics on the design and manufacturer haven't been finalized yet.
"Red" is a common name for ARFF apparatus across the United States because they respond to fire related emergencies. Many airports use the term "Red Alert" for aircraft crashes when all the "Red" units respond.
Purple-K is dry chemical fire suppression agent. You can think of it as being similar to baking soda or what you can find in an ABC fire extinguisher, but specialized for fires involving aircraft.
Because both STA35 and STA44 are ARFF stations, STA35 used to operate RED1(Oshkosh T-2500 1250/2500/400F/500PK) & RED2 (Ford F550 250/300/40F/450PK) with STA44 operating RED3(E-one Titan II 1500/1500/200F/450PK). When Centennial and SMFR decided to purchase two new ARFF units, it was decided that both stations would have one each thus both stations could have a primary ARFF unit increasing the chances that at least one of the primary ARFF units is available, so they replaced both RED1 & RED3, with the old RED3 becoming RED4 and used as a reserve/training unit, the old RED2 became RED3 and continues to be based out of STA35, the old RED1 will be sold.

When the crew is traveling in the vehicle but not responding to a call, they typically don't wear their gear. If they're in the station when a call comes in, they get dressed prior to getting on the truck.
Amber is the FAA requirement so they had to be placed on the apparatus. At most airports amber lights are used when traveling in a non movement area and full emergency lights are activated in movement areas like taxiways and runways. Centennial Airport has asked that SMFR use all emergency lighting when traveling anywhere on airport property, so its in our SOG to do so.
Proudly made in Wisconsin! Glad you guys have a piece of Wisconsin over there! Sounds like ya'll love it, hopefully it saves lives.
Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see the compartments and see similarities with our strikers
Congrats on receiving this new rig, I hope you get many years of service from it!!
As an ARFF firefighter, love the rig! Congratulations.
How much you get paid ı will be Arff to?
Thank you!

Is there a contingency for if the companies who cross-staff the ARFF units are on a response already and the units are needed?
I would assume there is. Either they send the next available companies to retrieve the apparatus or the company responds back to quarters.
Great question! Yes, in the event that none of the ARFF apparatus are available, 2 Engine Companies are dispatched in their place in addition to the normal response plan. Airport training for all SMFR crews was completed earlier this year so that personnel are prepared for that possibility.
It’s SO AWESOME to see the new apparatus units!
Just saw this one in Appleton. It gave us the idea for the storage cabinet in the cab... Awesome Truck.
Here’s to many great years with the new reds hope they serve you well

I really like the new paint, and the truck 🚚
It must be very tempting to drive it at top speed on airport land
I like how they call it RED 2, but it is actually a lime greenish yellow.
Very nice,

Hopefully it’s built with a Tier 3 credit pre emissions engine. Tier 4F components will not last 20 years with extended idle time and short cycles.
Nice rig!
This is a awesome apparatus. I have a question. What happened with the old engine 21?
Might be a little confusing but
both STA19&21 needed bigger tanks and it was decided that E19 would go to STA21 and the new E40 would go to STA19, STA40 went into the old E47 and will get a new 1,000gal engine when SMFR place an order for new engines in the future.
Old Engine 21 is now in the reserve apparatus fleet.
Can you make videos from fire inspectors in your department? I am fire inspector in Finland and i want learn and maybe little bit comparing our tasks.
Great rig. Love the dewalt compartment. Is Red 1 setup the same? Also, why no sledgehammer with the piercing nozzle?
Thanks! Red 1 has some different tools but the vehicle itself is identical. The flat head axe has been a sufficient striking tool for the piercing nozzle into airplane fuselages.

Nice piece of equipment. Hopefully it'll never be used for its intended purpose.
Any plans to have a station at the airport?
There aren't any current plans to add a move an existing fire station onto the airport.

What video editing software do you use?
We use Final Cut Pro to edit videos.
Any particular reason why the lightbar colors are split the way they are? It could just be my OCD, but they seem a bit odd with the red/white in the middle and then red and blue at either end...
The white light in the center of the bar can be changed from a flashing mode to a steady on mode to provide a flood light effect for scene lighting.
What is happening with the old Red 1 and old Red 2? I see the old Red 3 is kept as reserve, is the old Red 2 also a reserve or staffed like it was previously?
Old Red 1 will be donated or sold, old Red 2 (the F550) is now labeled as Red 3 at Station 35 and staffed the same way.
Do you guys still have Red 1 and Red 3?
Former Red 1, the 1989 Oshkosh T2500 is being sold. Former Red 3, the 1999 E-One Titan has been renamed Red 4 and is housed at Station 35.
Im surprised none of the arffs has a Snozzle on it
Can you do one for MCI rig?
Do you guys have any Spartan rigs I love the pierce but I do want to see some Spartans
SMFR only has one Spartan rig in the fleet, Hazmat 38. It's a 2002 model year and being replaced soon.
What is a Med 2? I keep seeing Med 2 pop up on calls. Also can we get an update on the tiller?
Med 2 is the EMS Captain for the shift, and Med 1 is the EMS Battalion Chief for the shift. The new tiller should be in service in 2024 and SMFR just took delivery of a training tiller that we show in the most recent vlog.
You got rid of one of the red trucks? Granted it was time for a new one of each one, but liked the older ones.
No they did not red 3 is now red 4 and is a reserve unit
@Jeff Arbogash he's probably referring to the old RED1 which will be sold.

Scania? Last thing I’d expect on an Oshkosh of all things… I’d expect PACCAR since that’s what’s in the Pierce apparatus

What is Purple k
A special kind of fire suppression agent
@Spitfire8520 ok, I used to be a firefighter in Australia. I have never heard of that
What purple K
Purple-K is dry chemical fire suppression agent. You can think of it as being similar to baking soda or what you can find in an ABC fire extinguisher, but specialized for fires involving aircraft.
Why is Red 1 at station 35 and Red 2 is at station 44
Because both STA35 and STA44 are ARFF stations, STA35 used to operate RED1(Oshkosh T-2500 1250/2500/400F/500PK) & RED2 (Ford F550 250/300/40F/450PK) with STA44 operating RED3(E-one Titan II 1500/1500/200F/450PK).
When Centennial and SMFR decided to purchase two new ARFF units, it was decided that both stations would have one each thus both stations could have a primary ARFF unit increasing the chances that at least one of the primary ARFF units is available, so they replaced both RED1 & RED3, with the old RED3 becoming RED4 and used as a reserve/training unit, the old RED2 became RED3 and continues to be based out of STA35, the old RED1 will be sold.

Why do you store your gear inside the truck & not at the station? Wouldn’t you put it on before responding?
When the crew is traveling in the vehicle but not responding to a call, they typically don't wear their gear. If they're in the station when a call comes in, they get dressed prior to getting on the truck.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO ok, thank you
Why are you saying green when it’s a yellow colour?….please state how it’s green 😳
It's Neon Green, not yellow
Why do they need amber beacons on the roof? FAA rule?
Amber is the FAA requirement so they had to be placed on the apparatus. At most airports amber lights are used when traveling in a non movement area and full emergency lights are activated in movement areas like taxiways and runways. Centennial Airport has asked that SMFR use all emergency lighting when traveling anywhere on airport property, so its in our SOG to do so.
I'm a bit surprised about the strange camera movement. It's a bit annoying.
Sorry for the annoyance, learning a new gimbal after feedback that some previous videos had too much shake.

Do we really need the obtrusive music?
Can the camera operator not make their angles focus on the firefighter talking? We are here to see the apparatus, not the firefighter pointing at it.
