On this Fleet Friday we take an in-depth tour of Haz-Mat 38. HM38 is cross-staffed by the crew of Engine 38 and responds district wide to hazardous materials incidents.
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
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!
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!!
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
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!
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.

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.
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
FF Costello has a future in education. His clear explanations of the gear are almost like he is a seasoned educator!
THe explanation of one Compartment made my day: "High-Speed Gardening" :-) :-) ( at min 3:30)
Great tour and explanations of what a HazMat rig carries. Thank you!
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!
9:51 Damn I remember calculating wavelengths of light emitted by materials in high school physics class. Finally I know what it was for.
"Heat helps keep us warm" Thank-you for the words of knowledge and wisdom!
This guy needs to be promoted to PIO in training he know all his stuff and was very clear
High speed gardening? 🤣🤣 Brilliant!
Great video of an amazing truck! Keep up the amazing work
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!

Wait so the guys who run Hazmat 38 also run Engine 38?
Thank you all so much for your service!!
Awesome tour and very awesome equipment!
Would have never thought there was that huge office/ lab in that truck! So awesome!!!
That truck is AWESOME!

A fire truck with its own beer fridge. Very cool.
Awesome! I do the same thing just with body armor and humvees lol. Pretty high speed vehicle!
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 🤣
Nice. I work industrial waste cleanup and we bring our own shower trailer to the job site. Makes decontamination after the job a breeze.
Soooooooo happy to finally see inside hazmat 38. Technical rescue next time ??
Favorite smfr fleet Friday tour
Really a run while showing the best part
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!
"High speed gardening' Nice.
Great video and how things have changed since I was a volunteer fireman.
had no idea zach efron was a firefighter, geat video!
Cool a fire hazmat truck
Ultra gardening. Gotta hand it to them, they got good lawns.
Nice rig
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

Looks like the old FDNY rescue unites
The cross staff is what the Colorado Springs Fire Department does
Wow. I had no idea.
Awesome question how busy is station 38?
nice way 2 end vid a call 4 the hazmat truck
What stations house your department's USAR Task Force apparatus? Just asking so I can check out those videos if they're available. Thanks
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.
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?
I hope you do PR events because this was super informative. Good stuff!
09:48 Its a Sartreck tricorder! wow.
good job to Eric and Pio Connor
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?

Dang 38 is very active
Does your hazmat unit have extraction equipment or tech deccon
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 a part 2 for rest of the rig?? Maybe on a slow day😂😂
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.
Very nice and interesting videos. Please continue. Is there a possibility or a shop to buy firefighters t-shirts? Greetings from Krefeld, Germany
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😆
What is that lime green truck at station 38?
Cool
Rescue 34 or RED 1 next?
Red 1
Red 1
Maybe cover all of the ARFF trucks?
rescue 34
RED 1
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?
Do you guys not get calls during these???
You should do firehouse tours
Hey u know what u should do is follow a couple of the new recruit thru the probation period make a series outta that
Yeeeeet heck yes I love hazmat trucks yeeeeet
Chemistry lab on wheels with lights and sirens that is operated by heroes.
6:10 I Think the door was sleeping

Its Hazmat 3 right? Not Hazmat 38?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Inside the lab there were things labeled Hammer xx. Is that a callsign of some kind or what does it mean?
Water rescue next maybe?
What happens if engine 38 is operating at an incident, and there’s a hazmat call?
Another crew from another station will come and pick up the rig.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO M37 is that medic 37?
love fire department
Colona Illinois fire dept has an hazmat truck it’s called rescue hazmat 2
From Hazmat 3 to 38?
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.
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.
What’s the yellow truck?
Could you do a put on of your hazmat suits please?
Crew of 3 😰
matt m ikr, that must be one hell of a job, only working with 3 men
So are we going to just ignore the fully set up tent trailer inside one of the bays 😂😂😂😂🤣.
The spare propane tank shouldn't be laid on it's side.
You had to tape the doors open? No one in the department could have put a latch on them? 11:37
My fathers station just got a brand new hazmat truck it is bigger than this one and cost $560,000 and it is nice
Can you do a day in the life?
When does the unscripted episodes start again ?
Oh joy, another earthling.......😁
what is that yellow rig at the station?
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO thank you for the info
Do you have one for plutonium
I have a question what if it’s a gas that’s unknown
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
Never understood what a haz mat fire truck was
Who's the truck manufacturer? Thanks
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 :(
Ist it hazmat 3 not hazmat 38? Title says 38, truck says 3.
