On this episode of South Metro Unscripted take a ride on Tower 35, a tour of the firehouse and an inside look at Aircraft Fire Rescue response to Centennial Airport.
@@joshuahill6153 Nah Niko is just a asshole. I'm an EMT and I love my job and my crew would die for each other. That is NOT gay-that is a brotherhood earned by respect.
One more thing Josh...my CO is Captain Estrada and that man is a LEADER and a very soft spoken man . He don't have to yell to get his point across...one way or another you WILL understand what he wants.
@@fishlips8336 they are near the airport but not on the grounds. Centenial Airport is a just a busy public use airport so they don't have a dedicated fire crew. (Chartered flights, busisness and general aviation)
I don't know if this is the case at Centennial, but in Jackson the minimum fire response on hand for commercial operations is one firefighter capable of driving one ARFF vehicle. Now, the airport has a dedicated fire house with three ARFF trucks and like twenty permanent staff but there are times when an aircraft is late that there will only be one firefighter ready to respond in case of a fire. Or none, if commercial operations have ceased for the night. And the nearest other firehouse is about a 20 minute drive away, with only one engine staffed.
With so many flights into the airport I am surprised that there is not a full time fire crew on site. I can appreciate the compliment it from local station principle but a dedicated on site facility means that off airport incidents do not impact your response to limited / no notice emergencies
In the UK your 'pre-plans' are called 1.1.d visits, an acronym for Section 1, Paragraph 1, Sub Section d of the Fire Services Act whereby all fire authorities must familiarise themselves with all high or special risks in their station area. Really pays dividends when it comes to firefighting. Love your downtime facilities. We used to do all sorts of stuff like that, building gardens, rock pools etc but they have taken virtually all down time off us apart from meal breaks, reduced manpower and increased the workload. Some of the things they task us to do now should be done by council works staff and care workers, consequently staff feel undervalued with an inevitable drop in morale. I'm glad I retired before the heart was ripped out of the job.
As I may say this is a really cool department I love what they are doing. These airport firetrucks are terrible as far as pollution. They have a major purpose but that smoke stack is terrible.
hi all, what happend, if the Tower is on a call, and there is any problem on the Airport ? the Firefighter can´t bring inn RED 1 and the other Vehicles?
Love your work, and your department has become a standard for others.. would it be possible at some point to do an overview of the IDT vehicles? I'm a 911 dispatcher, and we're looking to implement a tactical dispatch team, and I'm looking for ideas. I know the first episode kind of lays the team out, but I guess I'm more interested in the equipment you're putting on the rig for the job. Wondering if there's something we've overlooked and might be beneficial to us. Thanks, and keep them coming.
One question from germany.. yea yanks need to help me out with some.. In germany we have Airport Fire Departments, paid by the Airport and theyre only job is the Airport, how is it organised over in the us? Do you have community founded fire stations close to the Airfield, that are on job in the "land" and on the airport?
i have the utmost respect for this channel but to be honest i was surprised to see <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="155">2:35</a>, usually you don your hood when you don the rest of your gear if i recall from when i was trained. i could be wrong, but what do i know
Despite all the comments and the apparent designation of the station with Red 3 to provide dedicated coverage, still seems odd that the ARFF units would be out of service any time Truck 35 is on a call.
Great color scheme !! This boss could calm a Wild Boar !!!! When the female dispatcher answers him, she's orgasming!!! No doubt he could have been a model, or TV actor. Being the Red Ass, I was the one who put the gear on in a hot school gym, and have each little shit slapping me as I crawled by on my knees. One scream and they would have shit themselves. "firefighters on the back can pull that up on their I-Pad", what's this dept's budget, WOW !!
