- On this PIO Vlog we ride along with Battalion Chief 4 to the scene of a fully engulfed outbuilding fire in a rural area of unincorporated Douglas County, and with Medic 211 to the scene of a 5th Alarm fire in the City of Aurora. Take a sneak peak at tiller training and of course, patch shout outs!
My arrival upon that 5th Alarm in Aurora was two hours after ignition. I got there and it was still on fire. I have a video coming up for that as well.
Gonna go check out your channel
@@thomasfletcher760Get out your knee pads.
Thank you. As a 1st Responder I study ESPECIALLY THESE because we might be part of s Volunteer unit HOWEVER NOTHING about our area is small & we benefit because our dept is mostly all full-time units. Ex our chief is a City Battalion Chief in Mississippi has over 40 years total Top experience & also a teacher at our academy here, we have 2 FT. Paramedics, 6 EMTS, 1 Flight medic, 6 FT Firemen, 1 RN, 4 LEO AND 6 who have anywhere from 5-40 + yrs Vol fire experience under depts like ours which is why I get upset when ALL VOL Depts get a bad name like our LEO people. Our unit is ONLY Volunteer because small town but work 15 miles of I-20 and TOP DEPT & I have a feeling how fast we are growing we won’t be Vol. much longer. But we have a ton of construction going on currently & over 100 new houses BUT MOSTLY RURAL and I have horses and 1st barn I trained at professionally years ago was under a lady who a barn that a rat ate a wire & all but 1 horse died. 2nd barn I boarded at 1 horses there survived a lightning strike barn fire because he was the only 1 W/O shoes. But I use these to help train others. THANK YOU ALL FOR THESE VIDEOS. WUSH OUR CHIEF was great at video speaking but he also has so very little tim. And looking for your stuff & coming to your channel now.
@@heathertownsend949 Same here as a volunteer, our area is huge, in Midland County, TX and we auto-assist Midland FD on most fire calls in county, we have oil and gas fields, million(s) dollar mansions, every kind of commercial structure you could imagine, and even high-rises in downtown Midland, and even an international airport, should the unthinkable(s) happen. It's good to be able to pour over all these response videos, and explainers, etc. We're well trained and have a lot of career guys who volunteer, lots of MFD crossover, and we're about to start a new fire academy for state certs for career for all our guys who arent. Also, we're along I-20 too hahah. Were aiming to be paid in a couple of years.
What an excellent video…..love having maps displayed showing the fire scene and water supply areas! As a former firefighter in a college town/ rural district, these maps help to visualize what is happening and what command is doing to establish a fire ground water supply! Great job…..looking forward to watching more of your videos! Thank you!
Eric does just fine by himself! ❤
I love the new edit with the units shown and I am glad you are back you make amazing videos
Glad you like them!
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIOpeople keep being mean to me and what should I do
Great work on this video like always. The overlays and radio audio were great inclusions. Great communication and teamwork by everyone at the outbuilding fire.
Definitely need more videos I love watching them
Thanks for getting back to business.
Thx for sharing this two runs! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all! 🎄
Thank you for all the great videos in 2023. Wishing you all at South Metro a Wonderful Christmas and New Year!!!
Stay safe and thank you for all you do!
Thanks for the great video! These vlogs giving updates on large incidents are some of my favorite videos you make, it's fascinating to get to see the response and management of these large incidents. Have a Merry Christmas!!
Excellent work on this video the different angles great job showing everything need more vids like this love the big alarm fires like to watch and people responding
Thank you for all the Videos in 2023. i wish you the best
That explains the big cloud of smoke when I was driving east on Arapahoe. Checked pulse point but didn't see anything, then I figured it was out of south metros district.
Great work, and Merry Christmas!
If you follow them through the app it will notify you of incidents no matter your location.
Bro same i was on parker rd and on saw a massive fire cloud i few weeks ago and was a bit confused
Merry Christmas and happy new year eric and Connor from your friend In Springfield Missouri kyle
I saw the smoke from that Aurora fire from South Oxford Ave and Santa Fe Drive...it looked huge even at that distance. Great work to all who stopped both of these fires.
Very informative, Thank you
Very good video! Love the way you're taking things!
Thanks so much!
SMFD is amazing. I love the overall situational awareness from the responding units - sounds like they self assigned Tenders to the call.
Also, I think I’ve mentioned this before, the Department’s radio etiquette is top-notch. Calm, clear, concise radio communications. Honestly, when listening to your radio traffic on Pulse Point - sometimes it’s so smooth it sounds scripted. The only explanation is amazing training!!
Another Wonderful Vlog Eric Have A Merry Christmas
The tiller's still as beautiful as the days when she wore the TFD name and logos
Hey there, greetings from austria. Always nice to watch you guys work. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
You know what really sucks where I live mini agencies that use the mutual Aid box alarm system in southeast Wisconsin most departments keep taking passes on Fox alarm incidents and that really puts a lot of strain because it sounds like they're just refusing to come and help when we need help and that's really bad I'm glad that South Metro has their stuff together because they're well-organized way better than any Department I've ever seen and I hope maybe one day to visit whenever feasible‼️‼️‼️‼️
Eric our prayers go to you and the whole department with the families that live here it’s crazy that this happened right after the downtown Littleton incident.
Great vlog with awesome video, I really enjoy these on scene vlogs. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, Stay Safe!
Great job 🙌
Love the dashcam response
Have a good Christmas all of South Metro employees especially you Eric
Great job guys
YOR THE BET,ERIC ! BLESS YOU AND YOURS ,MERRY CHRISTMAS BROTHERS AND SISTERS ! 🇺🇸
Awesome video
Awesome video!
Merry Christmas South Metro Fire Rescue
Awesome eric I love your video
I enjoy your videos
I Have Some Paper Patches To Trade And A Drawing Of Tiller 34(2024 Pierce Velocity)
Merry Christmas To Everyone @South.Metro.Fire Rescue
How is everything coming along in Appleton. Happy holidays. Thanks for the volgs.
We’re still waiting on the tiller to be built and the latest completion timeline is May 2024.
Excellent Video.
The fire ground audio and video are outstanding. This may be the pest video SM has produced yet!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Once the tiller gets put in service, will there be day in the life of a tillerman?
Happy Holidays to all of SMFR. As usual interesting and informative vlog Eric, Thanks for the information as always. How are the crews taking to the tiller training? Are just 2 personal training at a time or is the entire Company going out on the trainings? A tiller ladder sets up differantly then other ladders that SMFR members are used to. Each type or style of ladder truck or other aerial unit sets up differantly based on things like it reach and type. I am guessing that is also a part of the trainig going on with the training tiller. So where is the current ladder 34? i do not recall how large that station is and what tapparatus are assigned there. Thanks again Eric.
Loved the video. I noticed at the 7:44 mark. The water tank appears to have a leak.
Slap some FLEX TAPE on it!
It was overflowing, not a leak
ARRIVAL VIDEOS- FULLY INVOLVED OUTBUILDINGS AND 5TH ALARM MUTUAL AID FIRE
Nice video Eric. Do you still respond to working incidents I have not seen PIO 10 attached on call through pulse point. I would love to see more helmet cam of firefighters fighting the blazes also what happened to fire medics. Keep up the good work
Amazing the number of drivers who are vapor locked at that 5 alarm. If you see a fire ahead of you, turn the f around and get out of there.
Nice video!
I as a German volunteer firefighter would be interested about the general structure of the American Fire Departments. Because I do not know much how the American FDs are structured, for example when a FD is volunteer, when there are payed firefighters, how your fleets build up, those basic information. Because I cannot find this general information in the internet.
Why do tell people ur a volunteer it's the same job
@@TomManning-cs4elSame job, different titles. One’s payed the other isn’t. He mentioned it because he wanted to, I don’t find anything wrong with that
@@tyw7205 the problem is they are firefighter it's the same job.... the difference is if a FDNY die everyone shows up but they think ur a scab .....
@@tyw7205 and why do you think I Care what u think go back to whatever rock u crawled out of
Awesome! Lemme know if you want me to get a patch from our Guam Fire Department here on the sunny Isle of Guam. Merry Christmas to all of the South Metro Crews…..Cheers! woody, Guam Island
I got drone footage of that apartment fire 🔥
Can we get a tour of the patch wall at some point?
I was so confused thinking that barn fire was a 5th alarm lmao. Then it switched and I was like oh ok yeah that’s a good fifth
I have been watching these videos as a learning experience and taking notes from them. I start my fire school in less than 2 weeks and I’ll be completing my Firefighter I & II as well as hazmat ops. Is there any words of advice or pointers I could gain from you guys going into something completely new to me and what should be some things I should expect and prepare for?
Thanks for watching and best of luck during fire school! Firefighter LaBorde provides some great advice for new firefighters in this video th-cam.com/video/pEIFG7-cmzY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=M0rmzLRCNVIsU5Z-
Great video as always. Just a question what happened to your leather helmet?
Thanks! I still have my leather, but I’m trying out the Phenix First Due and like it lot.
Will the Medic Series come back at some point?
Was there extension into the house from the outbuilding in the first incident? It's not entirely clear.
No, there wasn’t
Thankfully there was no extension to the home. Flames spread into a grassy hillside with pine trees that sits between the two structures and firefighters stopped it there.
Is that awesome massive stach required to be a tiller man, tiller person, tillerson? (Training tiller)
This is the first time I heard of a 5 alarm fire
Same
From a distance the smoke looked so thick, it seemed like a fuel depot was burning
In general or in South Metro? They aren't that rare in large cites or densely populated areas like Chicago, Los Angles city and county, or NYC (who had a couple in the past 4 weeks). But for this area, I would assume they are not common. They can go even higher, Kansas City had an 8 alarm several years ago at an apartment complex under construction, strong winds pushed it into a subdivision.
Yay a new video !
Wow
Yo south metro y'all need to upload anther video
When either dispatch or on scene command ki think bc4) was communicating just before the 6min mark there was mention of the start of a “10 minute timer”. Was this an offensive timer before the next alarm was activated for additional response since this is what appears to be a unrated response area since there was no immediate utilization of on scene or nearby hydrants??
SMFR Dispatch starts a 10-minute timer on all working fires and gives those benchmarks to command until they say to stop. The timer begins at the time of the first 911 call.
Question, what are the rank of Firefighters/officers of South Metro FD from Probie up to the chief?
Similar to San Jose, Ca. Santana Row Fire. In the early 2000's
Yes, very similar to that. Thankfully none of the exposures at this incident caught fire.
Why did you guys decide to purchase a tiller? What are the benefits? Awesome vehicle!!
Rescue 34 and Tower 34 are due for replacement and SMFR's model of cross-staffing them can cause response delays. Purchasing a tiller saves the cost of replacing both vehicles and will allow the combination aerial/rescue to be staffed at all times.
I saw on a different channel that they said you guys got rid of Tracked Vehicle 46... Is that true... That rig was awesome!
Yes, Hägglunds tracked vehicle suffered a major mechanical problem and the cost versus benefit to replace it was not justified. It will be replaced by a Lenco MedCat in late 2024 which will be used regularly by SWAT Medics and occasionally for deep snow events.
Eric, does the PIO response travel to scenes under Emergency Driving conditions?
PIO's can respond emergent if the incident commander asks for an emergent response, or if the incident warrants and justifies a PIO's immediate involvement.
Hello, is there a link to a database with all of the units and where they are stationed?
First!
It's been a while since yall uploaded but still a great video like always!
Also what happened to the DECON truck?
The Decon truck is now named Hazmat 17. Once the new Hazmat unit is placed in service we'll have a couple apparatus moves and provide an update about those.
People who think they’re cool by being “first” are no-life losers! Let’s not forget that.
@@johnlebzelter4208 okay kiddo
I have some other questions for your department/you Eric, How many PIO's dose SMFR have currently. As I recall the nromal or usual staffing level is 4 persons Maximum. 2 Full time and 2 part time positions. I see you as the head or leader of this Office or Department being that you are the Sr. Memeber & Only Full Time employee at this time. Is or cou;d Connor come back to help fill in some shifts, since she is fully trained and quallified as a PIO for SMFR? Again Seasons greatings to every person and your families @ SMFR (Past and Presant). Hears to a uneventfull Holiday's this year and a quiet start to 2024.
Eric Hurst(PIO10), Communications Manager & Full-Time PIO
Connor Christian(PIO11), Executive Communications Manager & Part-Time PIO
Micki Trost(PIO15), Part-Time PIO
How can I obtain a patch?
Is this related to the littion fire do to arson 😊
Hey Eric, I have a question: What happens if a Pio were to be the first on the call? Would they be incidents? Command Till a Battalion could be on The Call Just Wondering? 8:22

^A vlog from a couple years ago where PIO 10 was first due
Thank You @@nicholashe1198
Any staff unit including Bureau, IDT, PIO that arrives on scene first is required to air an initial radio report to dispatch. By default, they're the incident commander until a more qualified or higher ranking person arrives and assumes command.
Zu den letzten 2 Minuten „man müsste sich mal anrufen“… großer Bildschirm von oben nach unten wischen: Da gibt es eine Funktion „!it Rückbank Sprechen“ (oder so), da wird dann das Gespräch über Mikros und Lautsprecher übertragen. Wenn Kinder hinten sind also AUS! Die sind laut genug 🤪
Someone did a live stream on tic tok of the Aurora apartment construction fire
How old do you have to be for a ride along with SMFR?
SMFR requires riders to be 18 unless they're an Explorer or in a high school emergency services program. Here is a link to all the requirements www.southmetro.org/610/Ride-Alongs
ERIC WHENS THE NEXT RA!!!!!!
What is a “mass page” on the dispatches
"Map Page" refers to the 1 square mile map grid where the incident is occurring. Prior to GPS our crews relied on paper map books to route their way to emergency scenes and the map page helped them find the location faster. The map page letters and numbers are listed along the sides of this district map www.southmetro.photography/Misc-Photos/2019-SMFRA-Map/i-kNBKk9Q/A
What is the difference between an engine an a tender?
An Engine carries a full compliment of equipment and at SMFR they carry between 500 and 1,500 gallons of water. Tender's carry very limited equipment and 3,000 gallons of water with the sole purpose of rural water supply.
I like the weather update on the response. What I am NOT a fan of is the initial dispatch done by an artificial voice like in "War Games". Why can't the human dispatcher dispatch as well?
@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO
I have some questions about joining the department what is an email I could reach you at?
Excellent, please email employment@southmetro.org with questions about joining SMFR.
What is a 5th alarm?
Why is the tower 45 logo on the tiller? It's 34's
Tower 34, Medic 34 and Tower 45 personnel are all required to be tiller trained. Both stations are Technical Rescue and their firefighters are all training together. The Fleet and Training logos are also on this apparatus to represent all the teamwork and contributions that made this apparatus possible.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Can we get a fleet Friday on your new expedition?
When will Red 2 return?
Woo
can you give us a pio vlog or ridealong
We have a fairly recent day in the life of a PIO video at this link th-cam.com/video/8JSZc1a-9zc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CnH9BT27xxntMBMQ
Saving the foundation in Colorado
I’m a noob, but with a 5 alarm like that, why can’t aerial firefighting be used?
The weight of a water drop would collapse and send debris flying everywhere.
@@hihfty makes sense
We’ve seen some rural videos where air drops were made on vehicle or structure fires but that’s very rare. Aside from collapse potential and the enormous cost, Colorado has very limited air resources available during winter with freezing temperatures and few wildfires.
@@hihftyplus, I think the aerial water drops may not be accurate enough in an urban firefighting incident.
chief balak ko po kasi mag fire volunteer baka may extra bunker po kayo salamat po ❣️
what is with the super low frame rate on parts of your videos?
Couldn’t they call fire helicopters for the apartment fire don’t have fire helicopters
It’s possible that air support could be used to fight a structure fire, but it’s rare especially in a metropolitan area. This time of year in Colorado we have few air resources available due to freezing temperatures and low demand for wildland fires.
Ok
I have a question can y’all make a video on talking about how fire helicopters
What happen to your female PIO?
Lauren moved back to California and is a fire PIO there now.
Oh for the love of God people . A barn ? Save the lot
The drivers during 21’s response at 11:00 in the video just goes to show how dumb people can be and why it can take some time to respond to incidents 🤦🏼♂️ “move to the right for sirens and lights”
hello happy new year we are a fire volunteer at Philippines if you have a extra or used fire bunker or equipment you can also donate to us we also share it in other volunteers that we get on donation thank you and god bless ❣️
Even the buildings are getting hot headed about kicking Trump off the ballot 😂
.
Amazing video as always, but I have to ask... Why are US american drivers so damn bad at yielding for emergency vehicles? I mean, the roads are wide enough that everybody could just go to the outside and improvise a third "lane" for the trucks easily, but some reason a lot of them are slow to do it or don't react at all. And while drivers are not perfect in a lot of other countries, it seems to me that US american drivers are especially bad at this. Is there any explanation to this (like drivers ed, traffic laws, common misconceptions, etc.) other than the usual populist "well, americans are just violently egocentric" that explains most of the american exceptionalism...
First
Nope i was
No one gives a shit
@@Firefighter_Chris🤣🤣🤣 stop embarrassing yourself!!! No one cares!!!
@aidanallred3550 Do you think you’ll get a big trophy to show your parents and hope they will finally be proud of you?!?!
