Fleet Friday - Tender 34 

Finally, a tender fleet Friday.

This has to be the best Fleet Fridays yet! The truck gets toned and then the tender! Way too cool!

Thanks all of y’all who are saving lives. Especially during this time. Thanks.

Probably one of the coolest fleet Friday's yet!

Absolutely love and impressed by the flexibility and team work. Capt. Pickford giving an excellent presentation... opps. Has to respond with tower to a fire... NO PROBLEM. Jame Vasquez (Paramedic Firefighter) steps right in, picks up and completes the presentation PLUS takes us to the brush fire. Great to see the equipment in use. Thanks again to all. BRAVO ZULU!

How to tell if a tender is full: it overflows.

This Chanel finalized my mind and now I’m gong to fire school for my junior and senior year half the time!

Oddly enough the video about the tender rollover was what led me to this channel. Glad this tender video was about a much happier subject!

Congrats PIOs on finally getting some Fleet Friday responses and an actual bonafide tender response to an incident. Color me shocked.

Thank you for your service and giving me an overview on water tender operations. Greetings from Germany.

I enjoy watching your Videos because I was a volunteer fireman for St.Helens Oregon for seventeen years and I can't believe how things have changed since I was a volunteer. Back in 1984. Miss those days.

Probably one of the most interesting videos yet! I can see where almost every fire department could benefit from this type of equipment and the "porta-pond", especially in areas where no hydrants are available or great distances from the fire! Great job, guys!

That’s awesome. Y’all have some really cool equipment. I like watching. Keep them coming. Would like to see even more.

That was really cool to see how the Tender actually operates and how versatile it can be too refilling and fighting fire at the same time. It is good that there are so many pieces of equipment available to deal with a variety of different types of fires. These videos are probably of real value to those seeking out information about what it is like to be a fire fighter.

FINALLY TENDER!

Finally, we get the Tender that was promised last winter! Thanks and Be Safe

This was awesome, love fleet Fridays

I have to say the production quality is on point really feels like a TV documentary series

Love the videos, my towns fire department is building a new career fire department next to the old one just down the road from where I live so I’m excited to see it finished and if they’ll get any new vehicles since the ones there are quite old now

Tks to the PIO’s for these

Definitely would love to see the med 1 vehicle or even fleet on a fleet Friday

I love watching these videos keep it up

Beautiful fire tanker!

A very interesting and informative video. Good handball of the narration job.

We all appreciate u all around the world much love from me and my fam god bless u all. Amen

very very cool, thanks guys,.

Tenders are honestly some of the nicest looking trucks.

Badass truck men! Low Angeles has one too! So damn cool!

Great looking tanker

I want that hat, looks amazing! Cheers.

Great video thank you guys. Did have one question. Noticed how are 34 crew was putting on blue jumpsuits is that an additional piece of their turnout gear?

this is a good vid and it has some probie humor in it... "how do you know when the tender is full?" "oh you'll see" 21:45 #showerfromabove

Good job!

Everyone from city’s “wow this truck is so cool I never knew how these worked” Me from upstate New York in small towns “I see these everyday”😂

Very nice job

Damn it this starts at the same time I start work 😒, oh well I’ll watch it later

Good looking trucks.

Cool Video! 21:44 The pool is full!

I always look back on this video and im waiting for a fleet friday on tower 33

Fleet Friday suggestions: Foam Unit or Collapse Unit

Love south metro fire department, all love from Washington DC .

Awesome rig, was some painful things to watch though during the second half of the demo as a driver engineer myself.

well in Perry County ,Pa we have no fire hydrants so we have tankers but thanks for the heads up

@South Metro Fire Rescue PIO Great job at producing another informative video on your special apparatus. Also, one question for you Eric. In regards to the Garmin GPS screen in Tender 34: does that screen auto load the address of the incident from the MDT when the call is dropped, or does the crew manually enter it before responding?

Probably my favorite fleet Friday if not tower 45

Does South Metro still have a SWAT medic program? Are those firefighters still deputized by the Arapahoe County Sheriff? Thanks!

I like how tower 34 gets a call.

Did some flagging by station 17 in Castle Pines the other week

Just realised that the intro is on for exactly 1:00

Even has a trucker hat... cool

Love that intro song, anyone know what the name is or is it specially produced? Great show, keep it up

that happens all the time when we fill our tankers to. Its hard to tell usually what we do is watch the indicator light once the top light starts to blink we starting slowly closing the hydrant but most of the time the water over flows most fire engines and tankers have over flow valves on them. Most of our town does not have hydrants we have only 21 pressurized hyrants in town.Our tankers tend to go mutal aid often to other towns we have a large mutal aid agreement

That's a nice tanker

Vasquez has a nearly perfect firefighter mustache

is it possible to do a fleet friday about REHAB 12? am very curious about what that vehicle is

Need to get a kick-ball to float in the port-tank and avoid that suction bubble!

triple pull GO GET EM BROTHERS

With how many vehicle vs building calls, technical rescues, and working fires, and with how big your district is, is there plans to permanently staff rescue 34, and get new heavy rescue sense South Metro is an ISO class 1 department?

The next one's got to be the collapse unit and the mobile command unit I mean I think those are the only ones that you guys have left?!!

A perfect tour getting interrupted

Finally

You should do a day in life with captain pickford

Aye mobile pool party. I make the same drafting noise trying to drink a milkshake lol.

More dispatch center videos please

Awesome can you guys do another one if there is a bigger tender

A question about tires. Are firefighters trained to change the front tires in case of an emergency. Like what happens if at a rural brush fire the front tire blows? Is this unit then out of commission or is there some procedure to fix it and get the unit back into service ASAP? Thank you for all the hard work that you all do to protect us.

So how long would a truck like this stay in service? I assume anywhere around 10 years due to the call volume, I know my department's tankers tend to be replaced around 15+ years due to lack of use since they tend to have a more urban interface and the lack of need for them.

Can you guys do a fleet friday with the helicopters and planes. please and thank you.

thanks to pio Eric

@SouthMertroFireRescuePio Hey Eric are there anymore fleet Friday’s that will be shown?

Instant swimming pool.

Where can I get a South Metro Fire T-shirt??

I would like to use some of your depts design ideas for our new one. Can I ask what the Pierce Job # is to help us with our spec

Question for Eric What is south metro SAF18 and south metro MIDT32 on pulse point

Could the tender fill from a lake or body of water if it was closer than a hydrant?

Will dive 16 be featured? Also does south metro have two hazmat teams?

Nice kenworth peirce

Is there a volunteer system in South metro or are there only paid fire fighters?

What happened towards the end when all the water started overflowing on the truck? Was that an accident? What happens when you overfill the tank?

@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO What does MetCom Ops 3 mean?

Do you have to worry about debris getting in the porta-pond? Imagine if you put it under the wrong tree in fall it might clog the pumps, unless they're just waaay too powerful for that.

Does south metro regonize advanced EMTs??

What happens if the tender is needed but the medic and tower are both out at calls?

Like the video

I need this truck to fill up my pool

I’m driving thru Engle wood right now

does South metro have a Recuperation and care unit #FDNYRACUNIT for firefighters after a big fire

Where did he get the leather radio strap

Love u

That's the one i want

What is your guys intro song? So catchy.

Hey, Do a Day in a life of a Battalion Chief

Is that the Tender that the recruits used in Week 12 or something?

Didn't the District-1 Fleet Friday say this rig was new?

Why were the tower crews putting on blue jumpsuits never seen them respond in that before

Do American firefighters do running training?

Can you do a fleet Friday on Med 1?

No station Saturday?

Where can I purchase a south metro work t-shirt??

Would it be possible to see decon 10?
