CONGRATULATIONS CONNOR!!! We will miss you on the BLOGS. Hope everything goes well. Stay safe and healthy and look forward to your full time return. Eric, be safe and stay warm. Thank goodness we don't have -25 degrees where we live!!!!
First, Congratulations Conner on your little person to be! Thanks to you an Eric we have an excellent VLOG, AGAIN! As a side note, i was a firefighter/medic in the Alaskan interior, as such in that region, we routinely worked in the ( - ) numbers most winter months( with & without wind-chill), fyi last month there were -60F temperatures with the wind-chill, yes it sucks!! Thanks again and stay safe!!
Very good fire ground coverage. I grew up in very northern New York State with my father and brother being volunteer fire fighters. (I was not due to legal blindness.). Fighting fires in horrific winter conditions was very common. I have tremendous respect. Fire fighters can not praised enough. I understand that in the paid. Fire service is not just a job, but more a vocation. God all of you.
Congratulations Connor on your impending bouncing bundle of joy and the world of no sleep, no clean clothes and whose turn is it to change the diaper😁😁😁 Fighting fire in cold is no fun and I spent many years on our Mills ERC(Emergency Response Crew) and winter fire fighting is so joyful especially in -35c weather with windchills of -20c. Frozen hoses, frozen equipment, broken couplings, frozen fire fighters and everything is covered in Centimetres of ice buildup.....fun times had by all.
Congratulations, Connor. Great idea about what it's like being an on-call PIO, Eric...and the 4th July follow-up sounds interesting. Always look forward to everything that comes out for SMFR...my weekly fix! 🤣🤣
Can y'all show more responding footage of the crews driving to the scenes?? I would like to see how people reaction driving and how the Firefighters deal with the drivers not listening to lights and sirens... That would be great also congratulations on the baby!!!!
Congratulations and I celebrate your videos very much and it is interesting how the American fire department works. With friendly greetings from Germany to the USA
We had an insane cold snap here where air temps (not wind chills) were well below -10f and hit -28f two days in a row. Almost every day the FD responded to a fire. I really felt sorry for them and was surprised they didn't have icicles coming out of their hose lines. Be careful with those space heaters!
Good thing there isn't a lot of "Firefighter hunters" out there, it's just honestly sad to see people killing innocent Firefighters. They are no threat, in face they put out those threats. And they aren't coming for you so why kill them, world is so cold. Thank god it does not happen as much as it used to. 😒😟😞
In parts of Belfast Northern Ireland when I'm from, kids in some housing estates will call in false alarms then attack the firefighters with bricks and other throwable missiles. It's been a problem here for years, not just isolated to Belfast. Sick to see in an apparent 1st world country such a lack of respect to the heroes that could very well be cutting them out of a stolen car in the future (which is usually the career path for these individuals).
I can’t say for SMFR but our district the IC checks on the different crews and if temperature affects peoples working ability then they add additional alarms to let some fire fighters to warm up
That is what I am thinking because they have rehab there and going off my local community last year we had a structural fire and it was a volunteer department even stores were donating food and drinks I am pretty sure that they called two other townships and even the city in (mutual aid). There is almost no way even with the turnout gear and fire that they people on the outside could handle it. Thanks for letting me know.
Congrats to Connor and family. Going back to when Connor changed her name - what was the process for changing her name and getting new named bunker gear? Did Connor have it ready for when she returned to work? And will new baby Connor get bunker gear on arrival?
I wish I lived closer to a department like this, I live around a ton of volunteer stations. Closest big station like this to me would be Either Taylor or Toledo
I need to add this, after being subscribed for a year and being able to catch up on ALL there videos if you haven’t subscribed already do so... you can actually make great connections and even friends just by watching them. Oh and it also teaches things that not even the FDNY could teach you.
I would guess the water hammer does not affect in this situation because the hose is not entirely rigid so it can absorb the increase in pressure somewhat.
Something that I noticed in this video in comparison to others was how units contacted Dispatch. Many times I've heard it as Metcom, versus Dispatch. Has the designator been changed?
The name MetCom was retired on the 1st of January do to an organizational change within South Metro. Dispatch is now under Operations & IT/GIS is under Support Services. So the decision was made to retire the name MetCom and it just be Dispatch.
Interesting... SMFR changed their recorded dispatch message. It now says "channel FMS Ops [number]" rather than just "Ops [number]" before. Did you do this because every other video had a question about what vehicle "Ops 3" is? :D
Their CAD system is made by CentralSquare (formerly TriTech). The automatic voice dispatch and station alerting system is called First-In and is made by Westnet, Inc. The map illustrations seen in the vlog are just an image of their district that has been edited to show the call location.
hey Connor Congrats , i'll miss seeing you , you'll make a great Mom , i've enjoyed watching you , if you have a baby boy Will is a cool name . again congrats , and don't be stranger :0)

Congrats Connor - my first thought was: Here skin is different ;-)
Back to business: Chief, why are you parking in the smoke?
Was I the only one who took more than a second to realize that Eric doesn’t have blaze orange hair?
Probably
he has hair???
🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol took me a bit to see he doesn't
I’d love to see more ride alongs, I know it’s tough with COVID though. Thanks Connor and Eric
Probably one of the best rooms to have all that extra water in a hotel: the indoor pool room!
Also very good job in rough conditions. I'm on an ambulance crew and we were up 36 hours straight ourselves down here in Texas.
Thank you Connor and Eric my friends from south metro fire and rescue from Springfield Missouri

Great example of why modern building codes require fire-reinforced walls between attached garages and the remainder of the home.
Massive congrats Connor....Erics going to smash it

Why do y’all use black bunkers and not tan? Is it cheaper or have a better affect for protection
Congratulations Conner

Congrats connor from northwest Illinois!
Could you do a day in the life of a firefighter but cover the full 48 hour shift, I work in the UK and I’m interested on how they manage.
Congratulations Conner
Now when it’s that cold out would IC consider additional alarms then normal temps?
I can’t say for SMFR but our district the IC checks on the different crews and if temperature affects peoples working ability then they add additional alarms to let some fire fighters to warm up

I would guess the water hammer does not affect in this situation because the hose is not entirely rigid so it can absorb the increase in pressure somewhat.
Congratulations
Congrats on your pregnancy!!
Congrats!
We have the opposite issue, 33 degrees and 90% humidity, but the fire still hot inside lol.
Has anyone got there merch yet and if not when are you sending it out.
Congrats on your baby to Connor.

CONGRATULATIONS CONNER AND YOU "LUCKY DOG" OF A HUSBAND ! MY GOD BLESS YOU THREE,AND THE COUNTLESS NUMBER OF SUPPORTERS YOU HAVE !
Is the battlion chief covering the second fire the battalion chief you profiled earlier.??
Interesting... SMFR changed their recorded dispatch message. It now says "channel FMS Ops [number]" rather than just "Ops [number]" before. Did you do this because every other video had a question about what vehicle "Ops 3" is? :D
