Apartment Building Fire - People Still Inside - PIO Vlog
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ม.ค. 2023
- On this Vlog we take viewers inside a burning, smoke-filled apartment building as Firefighters work to extinguish the flames and search for people who are still inside. We also view on-scene video of a second apartment building fire that occurred just an hour later. Both incidents happened during an arctic blast with the coldest windchill values in decades!
The calmness of the firefighters shows experience and training. As a volunteer in a truck company I commend you on the attack and search, very professional. Would be good to get volunteers to spend a week with teams like this.
My department ( a volunteer organization ) sends crews to our nearest paid department to train typically 3 days with them at once it’s super nice and awesome to see and learn from them
@@JustizDaricek that is cool but the departments around us don't offer that training.
So you are not getting training at your dept.? Sounds like a management issue. That can be very hard to overcome. on Tuesday night everyone is tired from working all day. No one wants to pull a bed to practice because then you have to relay it. That falls on to the officers to give training. Hopefully, everyone knows the basics. Try to plug into fire training seminars. My son goes to them I will ask him who puts them on. In the 1980's we went to fall fire school in Monroe Wisconsin. FF classes, Hazmat & cut-up cars ERT.
I like how everyone is so incredibly calm on the radio. Fantastic work.
You know it is cold when a firefighter asks for hot chocolate/coffee after working a structure fire. Good video, very educational for those who are firefighters. Seeing the first fire, the two firefighters making entry on how quickly, but safely they moved to make an interior search on one room, and then quickly moved to gain access in the rear of the complex was a very well and quick coordinated task.
Good ol Blue Card is the reason why radio communications sounds flawless. Every department in the nation should adopt Blue Card. Great video gentleman.
This is really great educational content. Thank you for what you do as PIOs.
I lived a couple apartment buildings down 15 years ago and that was always a biggest fear of mine. You guys are awesome as always.
I have so much respect 🙏 for the men and women of South Metro, always improving and learning how to better serve the community, u r true heroes. May our GOD Almighty continue to keep u safe in his loving arms 💯
What a dream job this is, everyone loves you. I cant think of a person who would dislike a fire fighter.
especially the aussie firefighters calendar lol
glad you don’t know anyone who doesnt like a firefighter. but im sure there is at least 1 person
An arsonist lol
Everyone that’s in a car being told to go a different direction away from the fire scene
A cop because they wish they could do it lmao
You guys really don't get paid enough. I have so much respect for all you guys. I have been thru some hell but idk something about going into a building full of smoke. That's scary stuff. God bless our firefighters
bruh they get paid enough, its pretty basic what theyre doing and the training to become as skilled as they are is not that much bruh
@@chadh.6124have you ever fought fire???
Wow you guys are 100% superhuman. This is so much work/stress/demand for one day and no one lost their cool. This is the most beautiful part of America, coming together to help those in need.
Keep fire going heeaaattttt. Lolol just kidding especially if your wet.. after 95 minutes on blue Rte 476 in Delco pa.. gear was frozen on all of us. Rehab consisted hammer chisel cut ice off. Just teasing.. back of rescue ambulance and paramedic unit keep or get warm.. back of ambulance floor soaked with water all hands defrost in it😅😅😅😅😅
Eric and Team, solid work on producing this content 👏👏
Picking up little things from these videos like 3:58 adding "urgent" to radio traffic to clear the channel is a grt idea that makes a ton of sense that we didn't do at the dept I worked at.
In this way, you're literally creating the opportunity to "see over the shoulders" of a dept that is leading the way in best practices that will help to up-skill other firefighters from across the world 🌎 Love the way you're thinking about knowledge at scale!
and those animated text call-outs!! 🙌
Thank you Chris, we really appreciate your comments!!
Keep up the amazing work with the videos. You guys are one of my favorite channels!
Great Video coverage and I feel for anybody that had to be outside during that arctic blast in every state it hit!
Thank you for what you do for your community!
This is super cool and a good reminder of how cool firefighters are day to day. Especially how they calmly checked and ran around a giant complex caring only about the people inside
Thank you Kim Connor Eric and Lauren love and miss you my friend your friend in Springfield Missouri kyle
My mom has a friend who lives in Colorado don’t know where tho but I love this channel thank you for your hard work!!!
Would you have any tips for me…? It’s my dream to become a firefighter in my area but the whole medical park scares me a bit.
Also amazing work to all these firefighters in this video!
This winter event luckily was not as bad as the one we experienced last year in texas. We are a suburb of Dallas and respond to about 80 calls a day. The day of the ice storm we did over 1,000 in a 24 hr period and most were water shutoffs. Will never forget that shift.
I love the swift response and urgency to extinguish the fire currently in SA also training as a fire fighter would love to work abroad
Great video! Keep it coming brothers and sisters of South Metro!
Thank you for the education South Metro!
Y’all should do a day in a life of a Rescue Co Cap
Thanks for your suggestion! SMFR's Rescue Company is cross-staffed by Tower 34, so the Captain Day in the Life video features that person. th-cam.com/video/0CSaXIue9aI/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, what the PIO already said. Their heavy rescue isn't manned full-time so there's not enough events to do a day in life video.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIOinteresting. What about HazMat, also cross staffed?
@@billforner3380 yup

Great video as usual. I liked the Medic episode, very cool, can't wait for more. And because I thought this might be helpful for some viewers: If anyone is curious about how the Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta system works, the front (which is determined by cmd) is alpha, and it goes around clockwise in phonetic alphabetical order.
Great job as always!!
I always value calm competency on the fire ground. Nice stuff guys.
Love the medic series! Selfishly once a month sucks and would like to see at least twice but that’s a lot of content to get processed! Keep up the good work!
Wow. You can't see at all. Thats crazy. Hats off to you guys for running into that stuff.
God bless our heros!!! They are some of the kindest,passionate, and dedicated people in our community
Excellent, as always.
Well done Eric !
The guy from the ladder company in the beginning had a perfect truckie shuffle
Awesome job sir ty
Incredible video. This will be a training night for our department with size up, tools in hand, search and rescue, forcible entry, chain saw, and other skills wrapped up in a single video.
thank you nfpa for making exit signs mandatory, the sign did what is was designed to do. not a lot of people would say to that fact so I will
Great vidio. Thanks for sharing...🤗🤗
Keep up your good work
Great vlog, Eric. I loved the first episode of fire medic. Happy new year to you and your crew and of course, Connor
After 12:40 thats a great description of the behind the scenes SYSTEMS that need to be ready and then deployed to keep the machine running. Look for systems and build systems 👍👍👍👍
nice job forcing that glass door with no damage-very professional
Great educational video
Would be awesome to see a crossover episode with @fsctrucking when the new ARFF trucks get delivered, that would be cool to see!
good quality video
thanx heroes.... im an aussie but hey.... we're all human n u guys r saving lives xxx
Happy New year SMFR. Let God help you through tough times.
you should do a day in the life of a fire investagator
What cameras are the firefighters using? Are they fire cam ones or another brand? Thanks!
Good job
I just ret after 35+ yrs. What I see is a great job all around. Ladders calm voices and all companies working well. Nice. Job. Stay safe. I wish.. it was me. least I got to pretend to be there w you 😂
Right off the bat traffic control wasn't in place yet. Nice to see hustle. I like Offensive strategy. Glad two victims were found and rescued with non-life-threatening smoke inhalation. Nice to see many firefighters chomping at the bit wanting to expose the fire on that second call. That is a lot of support staff on scene to assist residents, awesome job. That is great to have new apparatus coming to SMFR to further improve your firefighting abilities for various types of fires. Definitely have Subscribed and have been encouraging others to watch especially future firefighters.
My family helps run a Canteen,an old ambulance was converted into a food truck. We offer water coffee food including breakfast sandwiches,and so much more. The depts are so grateful.
Was the one at 3-7 minutes in an oil burner transformer failure? Back in the mid-2010s, I experienced such a problem, where there was soot on my fan air filter in my bedroom! I lived on the floor above the basement and the boiler was in the basement. Honestly think that I didn't see as much smoke, because the landlord was venting it out. It was a 2006 furnace, too! Not even 10 years old! It wasn't burning completely at all, that's why a ton of smoke! The first symptoms of the faulty oil burner transformer, was that the oil burner randomly failed to start, IIRC.
MORE DAY IN THE LIFES PLEASE
I love these jobs I just hate forcing 20-30 doors like that. It’s so nice if a building mgr can give us a master key to all units
Can we get more helmet cam videos? I really like them!
Well this channel isn’t just about what you like….so..
Great video! I work in emergency services for underground mines in Western Australia and was curious about the system you guys are using to keep track of your guys in the building. Does your IC double as your Entry Control Officer on that white board or are you guys all digital?
Cheers!
Thanks for watching! The incident commander uses a whiteboard with a steering wheel desk in their pick up truck to track accountability. Here's a link to the product website tacticalworksheet.com/
Hey, odd question... What do you guys have for support apparatus? Do you run a Canteen Truck, An Air truck, Rehab unit ETC, Thanks
The primary support apparatus is Rehab 12, you can learn more about it here th-cam.com/video/o05LYDs8K-8/w-d-xo.html SMFR's Logistics Bureau also has delivery vans a pick ups that are used to bring food and drinks to scenes when needed.
i was in town when this happened. i heard all about this on pulsepoint
Heard about these on PulsePoint!
Also, how are we going to call the Crash Tenders "Reds", if they're not red?
Denver Fire Department calls their ARFF units RED when they are yellow, it's just a term used in Colorado for Crash Tenders
Great question! Many airports refer to the fire apparatus as "Red" mostly because it represents fire/flames.
I don't know how you guys do it entering a smoke filled room,not seeing where your going ,not knowing the layout or any of your surroundings,but just wondering if the flashlights have any kind of light filter lenses so you can see through the smoke easier?
Flashlights don't do much good while smoke conditions are dense, firefighters really rely on their thermal imaging cameras at that point. Once some ventilation inside the building can occur and the smoke lifts, flashlights become very usual.
@10:45 those little giant ladders should be on every engine. So versatile.
What’s with the movement of apparatus I’ve noticed on Smugmug and 5280
Any address that you could give me so I send you a patch of my departement? Awesome channel! Big fan up in Canada Quebec!
Thank your! Our address is...
SMFR PIO Office
9195 E. Mineral Ave.
Centennial, CO 80112
Completely understand that it was cold outside but when occupants ignore fire alarms they place themselves and firefighters at risk!
Seriously an amazing job. Great guys.
Doesn't look like any snow chains on the apparatus; are studded tires used?
All apparatus at SMFR are equipped with tire chains and the crew decides when they're necessary to put on. Usually that doesn't happen unless there's deep snow, like a foot or more.
So squared away.
I love SMFD
Do you know when the new 2023 FF recruitment process and timeline will be posted? I am so eager to apply! my CPAT test is on Jan 20th and I begin EMT school on Jan 18th. :)
Thanks for asking! Fire Academy 23-1 begins in early February and their recruitment process occurred in 2022. Keep an eye on this website for future recruitment processes www.southmetro.org/601/Careers
that is nothing like the movies, I'm surprised how little you can see, that smoke will kill you in seconds, KUDOS to the fire fighters HEROS ! liked and subbd
Great video south metro fire department from Bryer
Are they closing station 37? I noticed that all that is left there is the ARM medic?
Station 37 does not have any apparatus assigned to it currently. Medic 37 was relocated and is now Medic 33, and ARM37 is now based out of Headquarters. A new unit, Med 2, will go in-service at Station 37 in a couple weeks. Additionally, Station 15 will close for reconstruction this year and when that occurs, Engine 15 will relocate to Station 37 for the duration of the project. Medic 15 will relocate to Station 14 and Brush 14 will relocate to Station 37.
You can never go wrong with hot chocolate on a cold day
Hey Guys! Another great video as always. Does Connor still have her ford explorer?
I believe whoever the new PIO 11 is, has the explorer. I might be wrong but I think Connor has a different car for the division she is assigned too.
@jasoncrawford532 connor is still PIO11 and she still has the same car, Lauren is PIO12 and uses an identical car to Connor.
How many stations is there for you guys?
SMFR has 30 fire stations.
Why did engine 40 19 and 21 like switch?
E21's former vehicle was only equipped with a 500 gallon water tank. Due to their unique first due geography there's a need to have more water. Since new engines take over a year to build, an apparatus swap was made now. The old Engine 21 is now assigned to the training academy.
What is the preferred camera used by interior crews?
South Metro uses the GoPro Hero5 Session, unfortunately that model is no longer made. A similar alternative is the new GoPro 11 mini.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO the camera holds up to the temperatures?
How many house fire does south metro fire rescue responded to
3-4 a month maybe 2
Most recent stats I found was for 2017, listing 50 structure fires of 300 confirmed fires for the year. So just under 1 structure Fire per week and just under 1 confirmed Fire per day.
This is why second hand smoke kills so fast. Get out and don't grab anything on the way out
I never knew fire departments helped with water leaks or frozen pipes.
Yes, they do, my uncle, me and my sister had a major water leak in our apartment and we had to call the F.D. to come and shut the main water line off after hours.
Is IDT 2 up for replacement soon?
There aren't any replacement plans for IDT2.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Mk!
Well Dam Lucas u could not wait to ask oh btw it’s me andy
Liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻
I liked the chief was right there with them 👍👍
Are helmet cams issues by the PIOs office or do many of your firefighters just choose to wear cameras?
Some helmet cams are issued by SMFR to specific positions, others are purchased by individual personnel.
Im told that New Appararus orders can take up to 24-30 months for an engine and 36-42 months for a ladder
From initial order to final inspection, depending on the manufacturer, we're hearing the same.
Great video! What is happening to station 37? I know their medic unit was reassigned to station 33. Is the advanced resource medic still located there?
ARM37 remains at STA37, when STA15 closes for rebuild E15 will move to STA37, M15 will go to STA14, BR14 will move to STA37, MED2 will go into service soon at STA37 also.
Hello feat!
Are any of the new medics going to stations that don't already have a medic, or are they just replacing existing ones?
Replacing existing ones
SMFR doesn't plan to place any additional medic units in service so these are replacement apparatus only.
Do you think you could post the full video of the fire, including the drive time, basically everything from the helmet cam to the BC dash cam separately? It would be similar to firegroundradio bit with video footage.
This is why you need reliable home heating in cold climates. When wind and solar go down at night, what takes over to keep this from happening? Often its the much loathed fossil fuels, and often it's Coal.
how to you dertermine which is alpha side etc ?
The front of the building is alpha
The addressed side is almost always the Alpha side.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO thank you very interesting for someone from uk stay safe guys
This is better than Nightwatch.
Thank you!
Was listening to this on PulsePoint
Normal for that time of year portable heaters kerosene heaters etc
We all have zero grasp on what images firefighters fall asleep to. Please take 15 seconds and silently appreciate what they do for us.
13:50 interesting. In my country firefigthers doesn't help people with broken water pipes... 😅
Hey happy new year to you ND tell Connor I say the same to her!
Right got a silly question, what do you do if you need a pee during a call out?
That's a great question that few people in public safety regularly talk about! Often times emergency responders have to hold it as long as they can. During major incidents large mobile command posts like RV's respond to the scene and have a bathroom inside, or portable toilets are brought in. Sometimes personnel have to ask neighbors or business owners and use a nearby bathroom. If those options aren't available our Medic units have emesis bags and wipes/tissues and the inside of an ambulance provides some privacy.
When are more Day in the life videos coming?
We don't have a set schedule but we anticipate Day in the Life of Investigations and Logistics in 2023.
I’m assuming the first fire was probably an appliance fire that spread. Who knows though
That's what I was also thinking! Electrical fires tend to be in between a floor to ceiling or in walls
Yeah it was a electrical fire, he says what caused the fire later on in the video
@@just_a_random_person_Lol could have been a dryer fire from lint build up
