I live in PA and the next town over from me there's a bank converted to a fire station and it really cool
PA native here!
That signed squad 51 photo goes hard, grew up watching that show!
My departments station is Station 51 and we have our own squad 51. Our squad has a few signatures on the glove box panel from members of the show.
And so have I Johnny Gage and Roy DeSoto 4life‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Not far to go to get food and steaks..
No fire house is a real firehouse without a broken recliner. I think its a standard firehouse feature lol. Nice looking station
well, we do have at least one broken recliner...😉
Thank you for the tour and sharing this with us 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good review. It is always nice to see where the Firehouse originated, Cunningham. Also, the location has it's benefits with shopping right outside the door.
Very unique house. And it’s actually very well designed and utilized.
This is a very well designed Firehouse, all the space is utilized nicely and practically 👍😎 Thanks for sharing all about Station 22's history and how the station works ***
I like that SMFR is big on wellness. Take care of your people & they'll take care of you!
Thanks for another great tour!
Thanks for the upload and the wonderful series! Can’t wait for y’all to complete it and have all the stations done!⭐️🇺🇸😊🎉❤️
That's a really nice fire station.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Great video. First time i have ever seen a fire station in a shopping center. Very well done
Thank you very much!
Have you heard of fire stations in malls?
Well done with respect to the history with Cunningham!
So Cool :)
That's really cool! Now I want to see a hospital in a shopping mall!
Y'all are across the street from me! Thank you for keeping us all safe!
Has SMFD thought of adding safe haven baby boxes?
Praying for the smfr community and the injuired firemen after the fire .

Nice Station
Thats cool. When is the next PIO vlog since you have had some very interesting calls.
Thank you! The next vlog will be posted in a week or two.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
First of all, I love how great SMFR is at honoring the legacy fire departments it has acquired! I feel like it would be easy just to gloss over this, but you all do a great job of honoring that history. Second, what is the fan used for?
Thank you! The Fan is used to ventilate smoke or other hazardous fumes out of large buildings. It has been used at hazardous materials leaks inside big box stores and to clear smoke out of warehouses.
Hello SMFR I was just wondering if I was a firefighter (but I’m not a firefighter) say you don’t get a call and you are just chilling out at the fire station could you have your bunker pants on until you get a call from dispatch just wondering. I was just wondering is your firefighter training really hard but say you can’t take the smoke and fire are you able to step out on the front entrance or balcony on the second floor. Is there any chance that you could do a Day of the life with a ladie firefighter or paramedic if that’s a chance. And if there’s any chance that you could do the paramedic series again that would be awesome. Please let me know if there’s any chance that you could do that and answer my questions please. Thanks
Not SMFR but I can answer your question! No usually you cannot have your bunker pants on within the station, they can carry toxic particles from fires binded into the material even if you clean it through the extractor. Not to mention what you step on with your boots. You’ll always have it on your rack or by your apparatus to put on incase of a call. But more often than not you’ll have emt pants on, t-shirt or polo. With emt boots as-well while just at the station.
So did the fire house come first or the shopping center? Curious on how that transpired. Excellent video as always guys! Stay Safe.
The shopping center was there first. The original Cunningham Station 2 or "62" was located at Tower Road and Berry Avenue, a couple miles southeast of the current station. It was moved to help provide faster 2nd due response times into present day Station 21's area.
Is BC5 in a reserve right now? Don’t have have a the same as the other battalions have
Battalion 5 is now using the F150 in this video as their front line vehicle. It has less mileage than their previous F150. BC1, BC2 and BC5 will be getting new 2023 F150's later this year.
SMFR: what are the solar panels on BC5 used for? Do they create enough power to actually charge the batteries?
Most of the Battalion, Safety and Medic Unit units have solar panels to charge the auxiliary battery while the vehicle is away from shore power at the station.
You know what is Funny on that Story? In the 90's, I played with Lego Stones/City in the age of 7-8 years, when my fantasy skills take on really crazy ways.. in this time i Bulid a Police Station in the middle of an Eiscreme/Restaurant Building. YEAH! You're heare it right, men!
In the middle of a Fucking Icecream/Restaurant! It had got everything a Police Station and a normally Restaurant/Icecream Building should have.. An Icecream Shop, with many different sorts of Icecreams, and a fruitsbar, as well a Restaurant with many different meals as like Pizza, or Nudels, and Salats.. Beside this in the Backside it had a cheef office, an Operation room where all the officers waiting for their Missions, with an Seprate Radio/Operator room, a small Jail, combianete with an interrogation room. As well of course a Parking slot In the backyard, where all the police cars waiting for their Missions.
But you guess what, I thing this days why my fantasy goes so crazy in the past like that?.. Because even already wehn I was a little child, I was almost every time hungry and looking go get something to eat, in combination to wanna be a Police, or Fire men.. 😂😂😂 The only two things what has really changed up to today is the fact that i don't wanna fight against playing kids plays with fire, as well don't wanna clear out the criminal mess out of the streets, without any Respect to Emergency Services, I can't really tell what I need more.. Food, or Beer - Stay Taff every Men/Women doing your Job out in this Fucking World! Cheers! 🍻
Thank you Kim Connor Eric and Lauren from your friend in Springfield Missouri kyle
I’m curious to know why the entire engine crew hops in the brush truck when there is a brush fire. We normally pull a person off the truck to take our brush out.
Thanks for your question. South Metro's wildland response model focuses on fully staffed apparatus for the needed tasks. At large brush fires it used to get confusing from an accountability standpoint when each station brought their Engine and Brush. The whole crew would often get on the Brush and engage the fire while their Engine sat somewhere un-staffed, but still showing on scene. Since then, responding with a full crew on the most needed apparatus has been very effective for South Metro.
Love the vid, I have a question tho, is there no more pio vlogs ? Or did I miss something ?
Thank you! We haven't done a PIO Vlog in a while but I think we'll have one in the next couple weeks.
Firehouse 22 called the Alley Cats Battalion 5 Engine Brush

Hi Carson, Firefighters are required to leave their bunker gear in the apparatus bay, that equipment is never allowed in the living space of the fire station. During incidents with smoke all firefighters in the dangerous environment are required to wear their SCBA and breathe clean air, so there shouldn't ever be a reason for a firefighter to be overcome with smoke. There are 2 Day in the Life videos that feature women, including an Engineer and a Probationary Firefighter.
Whats the green shirts for / represent?
The green shirts are for mental health awareness. SMFR also has navy blue duty t-shirts with a green hose ribbon on the back.
How many stations are in a battalion? Are they all about the same size as battalion 5 as he mentioned
There are 6 fire stations in each Battalion, so they're all the same size for span of control.
What happened to the blogs they were great ???
Thanks! Work load has made creating vlogs a little challenging but we'll have a new one posted soon!
Wooooo
Not many stations with fire poles anymore
Very true! Currently only 8 of South Metro's 30 firehouses have poles.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO I believe PFA only had one station left with a fire pole but now days that might be zero. Kinda sad in a way. I love the older historic stations for that very reason.
Ok🐱🐱🐱😉😉
FIRE STATION IN A SHOPPING CENTER? FIRE HOUSE 22- STATION SATURDAY
It would be33😊
Hi it’s Alex from French lick fire station 12 IN
idk if it’s just me but i prefer when the crews in the engine all take turns touring the stations one person especially a chief is just boring
The Crew agrees! He is Boring😏
Lost me at “I V skills.”
Why did they lose you that's what we call it in my department.... We call the training what we do enhancing our skills.
Hi
early
A female firefighter, a JOKE .
You're the joke.. you really think if you're trapped in the damn building that you're going to give a damn who the hell comes in to get you.
If you do I personally don't ever want you in my house.
Why not? I guess maybe the argument of all the extra traffic they would have to deal with going in and out of the center compared to having a building on its own lot in a urban area or outside of town with nothing around but they have everything else in shopping centers. Dentists, doctors etc. If it's the only or best place to put it due to limited spacing or that its best location for overall response time to the whole area that's covered why not?
Exactly! It's a little different, but the location was the best choice for Cunningham Fire Rescue and response times are the most important part!
