Firefighter/Paramedic Costello was awesome! He knew the truck inside and out, and was able to give clear explanations of everything. He wasn’t boring or monotone either, very impressive. Thanks for the tour Paul and PIO, very interesting truck!
Steve Yarosz were you there? No. So don’t say nothing if you don’t know how the exact model works. Each one has different ways of working. I’m not saying I’m a Hazmat Tech, I’m just saying.
5:53 *SOMETHING MOST PPL DON'T KNOW w/HAZMAT IN REFERENCE TO WEARING SUITS IS.....* when you are completely suited up & your are working in a "hot" zone, you can't just walk back to the truck & immediately take off your suit such as a firefighter coming out of a fire. You must be scrubbed clean w/brushes & decon chemicals, there are several stages you must go thru before removing your suit, face mask, etc(it could be 10-20mins doing these different decon stages/stations). You must closely monitor you SCBA air pressure, you own body temp(that's the reason for the ice pack vests Paul mentioned), how long does it take to walk back to the decon area(if a warehouse Hazmat call) & this is why Hazmat uses 1hr air bottles. No matter what.....Hazmat is a unique job, Paul did a amazing job breaking it down the equip & explaining it.
Brennan Crumb Fire Videos yes. We have decon procedures. Every department should have one. There are also new hoods being made to reduce the amount of soot and carcinogens from contacting skin. Turnout gear is also evolving! Wash it after each house fire or car fire, brush/wild land fires, and outdoor fires where there are people burning rubbers and plastics and whatever else.
I laughed when they said hazmat 38 returned and got a call for engine 38. I was like just got back lol great job guys keep doing the hard work its very much appreciated
Absolutely love this type of videos. Such incredible detail and explaining everything thoroughly. I love it and I can't have enough of it. Never stop!! Wait so the guys who run Hazmat 38 also run Engine 38? Thank you all so much for your service!!
i think meeters are fun and they can pick up gases and firefighter / paramedic castello was very smart and a good guy to give us on this fleet Friday we take an in- depth tour of hazmat 38 I like you and it is fun
Nice to see they have a plan "B" and plan "C" in case one of those little specialized sniffers breaks or needs servicing. Stuff happens when you least expect it and it's always nice to have every single last little part in inventory right there when you need it. Costello was entertaining to listen too.
WOW ! ! 😎 this is cool and intense too 😃 thanks for sharing all the details of this Hazmat Truck 👏👏😮😃 no sooner did they get back from one call when they had to rush off to another call 😮 take care and stay safe and secure always
I love the way firefighter Costello explained the truck. Very well organized. Is it equipped with a weather station? Keep up the great work with the videos! I vote Red 1 next!
What a toxic world we live in now days. Luckily, we have you all to watch-out for us and keep us safe. That was a lot of high-tech equipment, but obviously it is needed with all the potential hazards out there. Keep safe!
1:48 What type of Hazmat calls do you all get, Paul said they keep products "to neutralize asses & bases", go back & listen for yourselves, but depending on what type you neutralize...... are you hiring?? LOL, ANOTHER AWESOME VID YOU BOTH PUT TOGETHER ON BEHALF OF YOUR DEPT.....KEEP IT UP & STAY SAFE ALL.
How does cross-staffing work at SMFR in case the primary unit is already at a call? Does another company drive to the station to take over the special unit?
This is a good one. Always wandered how these rigs looked and layed out. Im just thinking about how fun that would be to own as a personal vehicle. Could be like a gaint camper and stuff
Is there any chance that you guys could do another battalion chiefs vehicle tour, in depth. If not all the videos are great and I’m British so enjoying the way Americans say words so wrong.
Question and request. Q: what is the call sign for pio? Can you do a video on arson unit please, if you don't already have one. Thank you for your service.
Great job as always!!! I might have missed it, but what’s the “yellow” truck for? Also, did you spec that Haz Mat truck out yourself or did your department purchase it used from another Dept or company?
The yellow truck was Rehab 12 and was used for air, light, and firefighter rehab. It was normally kept at Station 12, but was temporarily relocated to Station 38 while there was some driveway work done at Station 12. It has since been replaced with a slightly newer truck and is back at Station 12 now.
I run a private non-profit fire department out of my home and I don’t get many emergencies. The last major emergency I got was a fluff pile fire in my hometown.
I only have a John Deere Gator. I’m not a real firefighter, but I have a scanner app on my mobile phone that I listen to when I see something out of place. My scanner app wasn’t used when I got the fluff pile fire call, as I was just returning from helping my dad and his employee. My truck’s not just for fire purposes. The lights are demountable for whenever I go on escort duty.
Emory Delss Also, Emory, on 9/11, I was among the first people on the scene of a 2 vehicle MVA. I have video footage on my digital camera that could help police in my former neighborhood determine who was at fault for the accident so they can charge the right person.
You have to give yourself a hug and squat down. There are exhalation ports that are one-way valves along the back of the suit that will let air out, but not back in.
Depends on the department (I'm not sure on how SMFR works) but most only require basic haz-mat classes unless you want to be on the haz-mat team and/or assigned to the designated haz-mat station.There are typically four levels of haz-mat training (varies per state): haz-mat awareness, haz-mat operations, haz-mat technician, haz-mat specialist. Haz-Mat awareness is a certification that provides a basic understanding of the ERG Haz-Mat Guidebook (identifying haz-mat situations and what vehicles carry as well as basic safety guidelines). Haz-Mat operations is a tad bit more in depth version of awareness along with learning basic decontaimination procedures as well as the proper PPE for hazardous materials situations. Haz-Mat technician is the first level of advanced certification for haz-mat. It includes a more in depth version of operations level along with incident planning, identification of certain hazardous materials, in depth decontamination procedures as well as containment procedures. Haz-Mat specialist is the most advanced training. This is a level of training equivalent to a Chemistry degree and is a comprehensive understanding of biological waste, chemical substances, acids, toxic materials, liquids, gases and solids as well as an understanding of the potential hazards from each. Most paid (career) departments only require training to the operations level. Any training past that (technician or specialist) is up to the member if they want to be a part of the haz-mat team or assigned to a station with a haz-mat unit.There are a few career departments that do require technician level training but it isn't very common most it is just optional as I mentioned. Where I come from volunteer departments don't require haz-mat training but awareness is preferred.
Serious question: How many Hours of training are required per year to be certified at highest level tech on this apparatus?? Have you ever been dispatched out of state?
so at a hazmat call... do you respond with both the hazmat and the engine (like FDNY squad units), or just the hazmat? and do you have a dossimeter with a range above 3.6 roentgen?
The yellow truck was Rehab 12 and was used for air, light, and firefighter rehab. It was normally kept at Station 12, but was temporarily relocated to Station 38 while there was some driveway work done at Station 12. It has since been replaced with a slightly newer truck and is back at Station 12 now.
An old fire truck or rescue truck would make the best work truck ever I have a ram 3500 with a utility box and the sixft tall enclosed box and I still need more room and shelves
Firefighter/Paramedic Costello was awesome! He knew the truck inside and out, and was able to give clear explanations of everything. He wasn’t boring or monotone either, very impressive. Thanks for the tour Paul and PIO, very interesting truck!
He was actual very wrong on how his Hazmat ID works
Steve Yarosz explain?

Include an TL;DR, I really don’t want to read that.
@@paltjginumm4719 TLDR: Firefighting is complex, don't do it if you get bored after 5 sentences.
Yep
You also should scrub down after a fire too due to toxins and carcinogens
Brennan Crumb Fire Videos yes. We have decon procedures. Every department should have one. There are also new hoods being made to reduce the amount of soot and carcinogens from contacting skin. Turnout gear is also evolving! Wash it after each house fire or car fire, brush/wild land fires, and outdoor fires where there are people burning rubbers and plastics and whatever else.
Some bottles of water here **single sad water bottle in there**
See 3
E eiddiaax
😂😂😂
That was pretty cool! I definitely like to see these specialty units!
I laughed when they said hazmat 38 returned and got a call for engine 38. I was like just got back lol great job guys keep doing the hard work its very much appreciated
Great tour and explanations of what a HazMat rig carries. Thank you!
FF Costello has a future in education. His clear explanations of the gear are almost like he is a seasoned educator!
Absolutely love this type of videos. Such incredible detail and explaining everything thoroughly. I love it and I can't have enough of it. Never stop!!
Wait so the guys who run Hazmat 38 also run Engine 38?
Thank you all so much for your service!!
"Heat helps keep us warm" Thank-you for the words of knowledge and wisdom!
Seeing this video gives me an idea for a hazmat truck for my lego fire department :)
Thanks south metro fire
hey i do that two! nice seeing someone else that does the same thing i do!
THe explanation of one Compartment made my day: "High-Speed Gardening" :-) :-) ( at min 3:30)
Nice. I work industrial waste cleanup and we bring our own shower trailer to the job site. Makes decontamination after the job a breeze.
A fire truck with its own beer fridge. Very cool.
Would have never thought there was that huge office/ lab in that truck! So awesome!!!
9:51 Damn I remember calculating wavelengths of light emitted by materials in high school physics class. Finally I know what it was for.
i think meeters are fun and they can pick up gases and firefighter / paramedic castello was very smart and a good guy to give us on this fleet Friday we take an in- depth tour of hazmat 38 I like you and it is fun
Awesome tour and very awesome equipment!

WOW ! ! 😎 this is cool and intense too 😃 thanks for sharing all the details of this Hazmat Truck 👏👏😮😃
no sooner did they get back from one call when they had to rush off to another call 😮 take care and stay safe and secure always
High speed gardening? 🤣🤣 Brilliant!
Awesome! I do the same thing just with body armor and humvees lol. Pretty high speed vehicle!
I love the way firefighter Costello explained the truck. Very well organized. Is it equipped with a weather station? Keep up the great work with the videos!
I vote Red 1 next!
This guy needs to be promoted to PIO in training he know all his stuff and was very clear
Soooooooo happy to finally see inside hazmat 38. Technical rescue next time ??
That truck is AWESOME!
It's a miniature analytical chem lab XD I love it!
kid:Mom my ipad broke.
Mom:How?
Kid:i smashed the like button.
LMAO 🤣
I do a lot of different things in the fire service, but I am NOT a glow worm! you guys can keep your hazmat stuff! :)
What a toxic world we live in now days. Luckily, we have you all to watch-out for us and keep us safe. That was a lot of high-tech equipment, but obviously it is needed with all the potential hazards out there. Keep safe!
Really a run while showing the best part

LOL, ANOTHER AWESOME VID YOU BOTH PUT TOGETHER ON BEHALF OF YOUR DEPT.....KEEP IT UP & STAY SAFE ALL.
Great video and how things have changed since I was a volunteer fireman.
Rescue 34 or RED 1 next?
Red 1
Red 1
Maybe cover all of the ARFF trucks?
rescue 34
RED 1
How does cross-staffing work at SMFR in case the primary unit is already at a call? Does another company drive to the station to take over the special unit?
Ultra gardening. Gotta hand it to them, they got good lawns.
This is a good one. Always wandered how these rigs looked and layed out. Im just thinking about how fun that would be to own as a personal vehicle. Could be like a gaint camper and stuff
Favorite smfr fleet Friday tour
What happens if engine 38 is operating at an incident, and there’s a hazmat call?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO M37 is that medic 37?
Wow im mind blown not only at the rig but he new it inside and out! Do your department have a rig like this that is not hazmat?
totally agree with him 👏👏 Paul
Is there any chance that you guys could do another battalion chiefs vehicle tour, in depth.
If not all the videos are great and I’m British so enjoying the way Americans say words so wrong.
"High speed gardening' Nice.
Looks like the old FDNY rescue unites
09:48 Its a Sartreck tricorder! wow.
Question and request. Q: what is the call sign for pio? Can you do a video on arson unit please, if you don't already have one. Thank you for your service.
The cross staff is what the Colorado Springs Fire Department does
Cool a fire hazmat truck
nice way 2 end vid a call 4 the hazmat truck
Never understood what a haz mat fire truck was
Very nice and interesting videos. Please continue. Is there a possibility or a shop to buy firefighters t-shirts? Greetings from Krefeld, Germany
Just wondering how it is possible for a three man team to staff such a important specialty unit.
Sorry, I thought you meant 17 Decontamination units, that will be crazy... Even FDNY doesn't have that much
good job to Eric and Pio Connor
You had to tape the doors open? No one in the department could have put a latch on them? 11:37
Nice rig
What is that lime green truck at station 38?
Wow. I had no idea.
Colona Illinois fire dept has an hazmat truck it’s called rescue hazmat 2
Great job as always!!! I might have missed it, but what’s the “yellow” truck for? Also, did you spec that Haz Mat truck out yourself or did your department purchase it used from another Dept or company?

We. Will the next vlog come up
Ok thanks
Awesome question how busy is station 38?
What's the other truck at station 38 besides the engine and hazmat? I noticed it as the engine was pulling out. Awesome truck by the way!!
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO oh, ok. That is a nice old truck they have. Any possibility of doing a video on it, or is there one up?
Seems like he's done this a few thousand times. He'd make a great pio

by some bottles of water I hope he didn't mean cans of beer😆
Hey u know what u should do is follow a couple of the new recruit thru the probation period make a series outta that
Do you guys not get calls during these???
What’s the yellow truck?
Water rescue next maybe?
Who's the truck manufacturer? Thanks
Since the suits are sealed and your obviously breathing..how do you prevent the suits from expanding too much?
You have to give yourself a hug and squat down. There are exhalation ports that are one-way valves along the back of the suit that will let air out, but not back in.
Does your hazmat unit have extraction equipment or tech deccon
I have a question what if it’s a gas that’s unknown
6:10 I Think the door was sleeping
What stations house your department's USAR Task Force apparatus? Just asking so I can check out those videos if they're available. Thanks
Dang 38 is very active
Do all firefighters have to do hazmat cause i wanna be a firfighter but i dobt wanna do that

It has since been replaced with a slightly newer truck and is back at Station 12 now.
What happens when hazmat 3 gets called our and the engine
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO ok
From Hazmat 3 to 38?
You should do firehouse tours
Whats that yellow truck?
The yellow truck is now retired but it used to be Rehab 12. Prior to that it served as a Paramedic Rescue / Hazmat truck at Littleton Fire Rescue.
Yeeeeet heck yes I love hazmat trucks yeeeeet
Could you do a put on of your hazmat suits please?
Our version of Quick-Sorb isn't like cat litter, it is cat litter. We just go out and buy a bunch of cat litter and throw it in our trucks.
Can you do a day in the life?
An old fire truck or rescue truck would make the best work truck ever I have a ram 3500 with a utility box and the sixft tall enclosed box and I still need more room and shelves
what is that yellow rig at the station?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO thank you for the info
Ist it hazmat 3 not hazmat 38? Title says 38, truck says 3.
When does the unscripted episodes start again ?
So are we going to just ignore the fully set up tent trailer inside one of the bays 😂😂😂😂🤣.
The firefighters- wow that was long one hope we don’t anymore soon hazmat 38 in service dispatcher-engine 38
The firefighters- ....bruh
Firefighters: *use chemtape to keep interior doors open*
Duct Tape: "Am I a joke to you??"
the true joke is you using that worn out meme format :(
My fathers station just got a brand new hazmat truck it is bigger than this one and cost $560,000 and it is nice
Hi what is up with yall at the south metro fire department cool fire truck
He should be the new fire truck shower because it looks like he actually like showing them and he is so much better than the other ones in my opinion
