You can tell Isaac is not camera shy and has practiced to do a walk around on his truck because he flies right through it and doesn't stutter as some firefighters do when doing walk arounds. Isaac also has amazing energy and an encouraging smile especially with that sweet moustache.
Isacc is top notch in knowledge and just overall personality. We've hosted him a bunch of times for his Vehicle Extrication classes from here in Central PA. Great video.
As part of the Citizen Fire Academy, I did a 10 hour ride out with a different station and got to see just how dedicated and amazing these men and women are. So much respect for all of our first responders out there keeping us safe!
that guy you were talking about in the bulldozer was my uncle! thanks for the great work you did to get him out! you guys are awesome and amazing! thanks for your time and service to help my uncle!
thats my house at 16:30! Determined that lightning DID strike the house TWICE! Surge blew up a light switch, lots of our electronics were fried and some hosing for our natural gas got spiderwebbed by the strike. No fires but house smelled very much like something was burning and good thing we found the gas line very quickly to replace. They were so awesome and thorough! Appreciate our WFD! TOP NOTCH!
I love watching firefighters go be the best part of a bad situation and people like you I admire for taking the time to be there for the video and experience for us. Thank you
24:27 I'm glad you mentioned this, the entire time during the Rescue 1 tour it seemed like it was just background chatter from dispatch. Guess it shows just how valuable the First-In system in for SMFR and the quality of life improvements it brings.
Super interesting for me as a becoming volunteer firefighter from Germany, many things and equipment are familiar but here we have different vehicles for divers, heavy duty rescue and firefighting. Also our trucks are smaller but in the US everything is bigger, even the rescue 1 guy is a unit. Stay safe guys. Great stuff and awesome video.
As someone who can grow a mustache that is complimented by A TON of people, let me say, that mustache is perfect. 10/10 don't have to know anything else other than you're are truly the greatest FF of all time
Great video! As a former Sedgwick County 911 dispatcher, I appreciate all of it. I loved working "fire board" more than any other. I was there when we transitioned from the klaxon-style horn to the electronic style alert system.
So watching this I was like hmm, I think I have seen this before and come to find out, I have. But idk how many times I watch this I am still excited to see the kids excitement of seeing the inside of any emergency apparatus. That for me was the best part of being in the Emergency Services Field was the " Show and Tell" whether at a School, the Station or out at the scene of a call. Getting to see the kids smiling and be excited was always what made it well worth it to me.
Eric this video was top notch. I absolutely love this style of content of all day ride alongs. Keep up the great work, nice to see you on your own channel!
Thank you so very much for your service as a Firefighter and Rescue. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding. May God always keep you safe and healthy where ever you go
Hello from Hays, Ks, biggest thing on I-70 between Salina, Ks, and Denver, Co. We have a fair sized department with 7 guys on each shift, 24 on, 48 off, of those on duty, an Engine and ladder are staffed, Command (Captain [Shift Commander]), and a guy staffing a crash truck at the Airport. Our Department has 3 engines, 2 ladders (Quints), 2 ARFF, and 3 utilities. We are also Technical Rescue Certified, cross trained with county volunteers. Years ago when my father was still on, we had Hazmat, but have since discontinued large scale operations regarding Hazmat. A Third station is being constructed to improve ISO, but have no plans to up staffing to my knowledge at this time. Current plan is to just split trucks between I believe. All Firefighters with Hays are ARFF certified. Great Video, I enjoy your SMFR videos as well. Great Job!
Great to see... In The Netherlands seems to be more "machines" customised to their job. Many stations with an own speciality. Not strange with so many fire-stations in a smaller area. Loved to see this truck, keep up doing the great job ! Love it 🙂
Alot of Dutch firefighters come over the US to fight fire with us for cross-training reasons. I know of one who's been with Detroit Fire Department going on a decade and has ridden with Squad and Engine Co's. He's caught many jobs in that time.
A wealth of knowledge. I love to chat with people like this on the various fds. I don't know nothing on this job until I've had a few conversations with people like this!!!
Love seeing these trucks! So cool to see how everything works and what variety of tools each department needs based on their locale! Be careful out there, you guys!
Tell me you're a firefighter without telling me you're a firefighter *The first dudes mustache, haircut, and build* Also every time an alarm goes off, I just get the vibe of that SpongeBob caveman meme, and then he goes back to normal, lmao. Firefighters are awesome!
Absolutely LOVED the views of you waking up to the nightly alarms. That’s what I must look like, too. Greetings from a German volunteer firefighter! 🤙🏼
The rescue is top notch, and I’ve seen a few in my years. Not having met the firefighter, he definitely seems top shelf. I’m filing “nick nacky” as an official technical term…love it.
Driving by that Spangles on the first call made me want a Gourmet Supreme. I’ll have to take my daughter for a burger when I go see her next weekend. Just a Kansas farm kid living and loving life in Colorado.
A word didn't have to come out of that man's mouth. As soon as I saw his fantastic moustache; alright this man know's what he's doing, I've seen enough
What an awesome and outstanding department and video scenes of it as well, I would have never thought of this much action from Wichita I expected to see a video like this from New York City or Chicago LA Houston or some other major city but now much respect to Wichita which will be on my list of departments to watch on the tube that truly is major urban city and fire department , Also great looking trucks and staff units as well.. Thanks for sharing this.. Tony j. from Indiana 🙌🏼👍👏🏼🔥🚨🚒
My dad was a retired ff in Wichita. After he passed I got his badge tattooed on my right shoulder so he is still looking out for me! He's got my back permanently now lol
Amazing first video brother. Nice to see you going to a department I actually know someone on other than your own lmfao. Keep it up buddy, can’t wait for the next video.
Man that bunk room is rough... waking everyone up no matter the call? Seems insane until you realize how much thought and effort SMFR puts into quality of life improvements that other departments... apparently just don't.
Not every department has the funding for such things. South Metro is extremely fortunate to have the ability to build elaborate stations and keep top of the line equipment
@@JollyGreenGiant94 As a taxpayer in SMFR's district, I'd never question the mill rate or vote against an increase on it (unlike some of the other rather mismanaged public agencies that want more money to waste every ballot). Hell they probably realize that is a benefit of what Eric does for them. Showing the public the value in the department beyond the obvious. Seriously it makes you proud driving by the stations and seeing the investment in the community. Giving them the funding they need just makes sense when you see how well they operate.
I was thinking the exact same. SMFR is well funded and has good stations, built for 48 hour shifts. Nothing wrong with a rough and ready station though, old school.
@@some0ne8 Thank you for sharing your perspective on this! From a firefighter health and wellness perspective, sleep is vital to mental and physical optimization. SMFR is fortunate to have community members like you who support the organization and the people who serve.
The way you make your video I thought you had more than one video and then I look at your channel and then I saw only one Jeesh I thought you had more than one video and now I want more coming from a young man from Riverside California that's threw up from Morongo Valley California that grew up next to wildfires and grew up next to a volunteer fire department and got used to fire department where license he had cousins that were firefighters and had a uncle in the community but was born in 2001 in Los Angeles keep making more videos I just subscribed

I agree 100%
That's a man that's been on the job a long time and knows his shyt front to back 🫡
Being on a specialty truck for so long I’m sure he’s done plenty of tours on it 😂
@@seventenn610 preach brother
0:02 _some might recognize him from his excellent mustache business_
I love seeing the grins and excitement from kids getting to go in a truck. It makes their day!
Not a firefighter but as an outsider, I have to say, this rig is badass! Super clean and organized!
I never seen a rescue truck that big before. And the hallway thing in the back is unique
Isacc is top notch in knowledge and just overall personality. We've hosted him a bunch of times for his Vehicle Extrication classes from here in Central PA. Great video.
He's a top shelf firefighter, no doubt. Thanks for watching!
@@WorkingFirePIO loved that PIO vlog for june
Awesome!! Come to Ohio!!!
@eriksantor9125 where ya at in PA? Central PA guy here as well
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 what da hail
Firefighters and EMTs are this world’s living angels. Nothing but respect and admiration. My cousin is a firefighter here in Texas. Subscribed!
That "public relations" move by allowing the birthday party to climb aboard Rescue was priceless...a "win, win for everyone."
As part of the Citizen Fire Academy, I did a 10 hour ride out with a different station and got to see just how dedicated and amazing these men and women are. So much respect for all of our first responders out there keeping us safe!
What’s a citizen fire academy what cities have them
@@wadeopaczewski8795no idea but you can do ride along on almost any department regardless.
that guy you were talking about in the bulldozer was my uncle! thanks for the great work you did to get him out! you guys are awesome and amazing! thanks for your time and service to help my uncle!
Sorry for your loss
sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss
My condolences to you and your family 😢 🙏

And everyone thinks Kansas is just flat out farm fields lol.
Thanks Again Eric is for this experience 😊🙏🇺🇸

Eric fantastic work. I can't wait to see what's to come! Take care.
These guys saved my ASS and MY VISION back in September. I love ALL of YOU. 🇺🇸🙏❤️🍻
Great video! As a former Sedgwick County 911 dispatcher, I appreciate all of it. I loved working "fire board" more than any other. I was there when we transitioned from the klaxon-style horn to the electronic style alert system.
We are all gathered here to see the size of this W. Great to see you on TH-cam now Eric, great first video!
Much appreciated!

So grateful for EMS and Firefighters as well as the Soldiers you guys are so underrated thank you for yor services risking yalls life for ours 🙏🏽
Good video ! On the job in Maine. Nothing beats starting your shift with hydrant shoveling ! It’s great!
I visited Maine in the Fall a few years ago and can imagine some very harsh winter conditions there!
Eric this video was top notch. I absolutely love this style of content of all day ride alongs. Keep up the great work, nice to see you on your own channel!
Much appreciated, thank you!
Really enjoyed this as Wichita was where I started my service career. Born and raised in Wichita. A great department.
A proper RESCUE, 2 man cab, walk through body 👍
Couldn't agree more!
Isaac is the man! knows his stuff, and his classes are awesome! Can't recommend him enough! And its not just work, he makes it fun!
Thank you so very much for your service as a Firefighter and Rescue. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding. May God always keep you safe and healthy where ever you go
Sat through a class with Isaac, dude was top notch. The guy was literally overflowing with knowledge and I cant imagine riding his truck. Great video.

Hi
😂
I've driven through Hays many times and slept there once or twice. I haven't visited a firehouse there yet but this information is great!
Awesome video, great walk in squad. Helpful to see how different compartment layouts, work for others
OMG! Currently doing ride-alongs with WFD and this is so awesome! Loved this video!
That intro is amazing! Also, this rescue has one of, if not the best setup that I have ever seen!
Great to see... In The Netherlands seems to be more "machines" customised to their job. Many stations with an own speciality. Not strange with so many fire-stations in a smaller area. Loved to see this truck, keep up doing the great job ! Love it 🙂

An amazing channel shall pass these tips onto my students learning so much keep it up Many thanks and welcome to Thailand
Thank You Sir for Explaining to Everyone what is on the Fire Truck.
This is GREAT!
Love seeing these trucks! So cool to see how everything works and what variety of tools each department needs based on their locale! Be careful out there, you guys!
That is a really big engine. You sound very smart with your job
Thank you for all you do
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Tell me you're a firefighter without telling me you're a firefighter
*The first dudes mustache, haircut, and build*
Also every time an alarm goes off, I just get the vibe of that SpongeBob caveman meme, and then he goes back to normal, lmao. Firefighters are awesome!
Great video, congratulations on your new channel, I will be following your exploits!👍🏽🇺🇸
Thank you!
great video. microphones were a great touch that totally made the video pro quality. keep em comin
Those DJI mics are impressive. Thank you!
That Rescue 1 is rather impressive. Very well laid out and has given me many good ideas. Nice channel!
Absolutely LOVED the views of you waking up to the nightly alarms. That’s what I must look like, too. Greetings from a German volunteer firefighter! 🤙🏼
Dude that is awesome. Glad the algorithm brought you by! Looking forward to more man !!
Thanks!
Fantastic work! I’m looking forward to seeing your next videos!
Hell yeah can’t wait to watch this channel grow. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Love seeing fire fighters showing off there rigs to kids. Hopefully planting seeds for the next generation. Good work brother's 🚒
Thank you for your service in the fire service really appreciate it sir.
one of the best ride along and tour i've ever seen. Thank you!
I guess "knick-knacky stuff" is a fire fighter term. Love it. PLUS -- I'm not a mustache fan, but his is FABULOUS!
The happy look on the little boy when he got out of the rescue was awsome
Ü⁰😂🎉🎉🎉
Great vlog. That Dept 🚒 really has things together
Cheers for this awesome post .I finally got an excellent result will this lovely method when I tried it.I am enjoying it now
So cool to see these videos for other departments!
Excellent video! A good balance of efficient but thorough tour of the rescue, coupled with plenty of ride along footage.
Thank you!
Specially like that fire truck rescue with the black wheels 🛞 and the black and red colour on it with the yellow stripes 🥰🥰🥰
Nice work Eric from Jacksonville FL
Great job work in Wichita
The rescue is top notch, and I’ve seen a few in my years. Not having met the firefighter, he definitely seems top shelf. I’m filing “nick nacky” as an official technical term…love it.
Amazing video! I just loved the content! Can’t wait to see more from you outside of south metro!
Much appreciated, thanks!
On top of an excellent training business - he also has one Excellent Mo! lol - Good work on the video Eric - can't wait to see more
Driving by that Spangles on the first call made me want a Gourmet Supreme. I’ll have to take my daughter for a burger when I go see her next weekend. Just a Kansas farm kid living and loving life in Colorado.
More of this , this could be the start of an epic series , this could really start something here eric! 🔥
Thanks! 🤘
A word didn't have to come out of that man's mouth. As soon as I saw his fantastic moustache; alright this man know's what he's doing, I've seen enough
Congratulations Eric great start to what will be an awesome channel.
Absolutely mind blowing how much gear and equipment that truck carries.
Rescue apparatus is my favorite man. Such capabilities
Love the video can’t wait to see more of your amazing work
Fantastic Work Eric! can't wait to see more of your video's!
Thank you!

Feel free to swing by Hays, KS on your way back home! It’s be great to see a smaller town or rural fire department. Heck, maybe even Cal Fire?
Thanks!
Appreciate you using up your free time to shoot great videos! 👍👍
Thank you for doing this eric
Worked with Issac in St. John’s County Fla. Very nice rig and equipment.
Very different to the firefighters in the Netherlands! Loved to watch this!
Thanks for watching!
Look at that lip coat man, I trust him to absolutely demolish a fire
Legend has it that fires self extinguish in fear when they see it.
Amazing equipment and sooo compact!
That, is a moustache that commands respect. I tip my hat to you sir! 😃
My dad was a retired ff in Wichita. After he passed I got his badge tattooed on my right shoulder so he is still looking out for me! He's got my back permanently now lol
Wow that's a really cool tattoo idea!
That would be a awesome station to work at. I live a little to far for Wichita KS.
Had no idea you had your own channel. This is awesome and I subscribed the minute I saw this video was suggested!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for introducing the fire station! I love the view on fire station. It looks better than our country.
Really neat eric thanks for this awesome video buddy
Props to the guy running while carrying a chainsaw, K12 saw and 2 long hand tools.
Awesome video its better than TV stay safe
Great work Eric! Love the content. Best pio around.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Eric for your great coverage of fire stations and the guys that man them.
This is fantastic Eric. Looking forward to the rest of your videos!!
Thank you, more to come!
Amazing first video brother. Nice to see you going to a department I actually know someone on other than your own lmfao. Keep it up buddy, can’t wait for the next video.
Great job Eric taking the show on the road.
Lovin that Lazy Susan!! That's badass!! Great idea!!
Its wonderful to see that some FD's still use walk in rescues the crew cabs are to long to be practical where I was
Quite the rig, I'm excited for SMFR Tiller in the future
TOP SHELF ,BROTHER ERIC ! I AM IN ! 🇺🇸
Thanks!!
Fire scares the bejeebers out of me. Folks who do this for a living, and/or first responders in general, are my heroes.
Very impressive. Your County is well protected.
Excellent video very interesting 👍
