PIO Vlog - May 2021 

I'm not gonna say this is the *strangest* collaboration I've seen on RU-vid yet, but it's certainly my favourite so far. SMFR and VASAviation!

Looking forward to a “fleet Friday” on the new technical collapse rescue unit

I have been viewing alot of the coverage from pilots and ATC amazing that everyone was able to walk away see the damage to both aircraft. It will be great to see footage from the Fire Rescue perspective

You guys should check in with fleet on every vlog. Have them show all the progress being made on apparatus and maybe tell us what new units are on order or are being ordered.

MFW when two totally different channels I watch suddenly have content about the same incident with totally different perspectives on it.

I'm a Japanese firefighter. I am currently studying English to study firefighter training in the United States.

I remember this one when it happened and viewed the investigation as to how it actually happened partially due to the odd configuration of the parallel runways that can be confusing. Amazing that no one was killed. A friend of mine has a Cirrus also equipped the same so a nice safety feature. Basically, with the new Collapse Truck is a blank slate to be customized to fit your needs. Nice that it is stationed in the SMFR area, but also for dispatching to other areas as well. Can't wait to see it set-up and equipped. Nice to see your maintenance personnel and how they take care of the EMR equipment. It takes special people with the right amount of patience to deal with wiring harnesses, because it looks like spaghetti to me, so kudos to them. 80-90 hours more? Like I said it is all yours. You get lots of patches from Germany I have noticed. Great video and editing as usual.

I have been waiting for this since it happened :D

I love seeing fleet services

CAN'T WAIT!!

Oh yes I’m so excited I saw it all going down pulse point

You guys got the best intro on youtube.

I truly think this is one of the best Fire Depts in the country, not only do they have a large district and fleet, they have many volunteers and stations. They have a great RU-vid channel not to mention

Things just constantly change. My Dad worked for the Greensboro FD in Greensboro NC from 1948-1977. He retired Asst Chief 1977.

I always look forward to these videos and always love them.

rescue 45 is cool truck can't wait to see it's fleet friday

Can you guys do a day in the life of a wild land firefighter? A day in the life of a brush engineer?

I remember listening to this on PulsePoint

Great job

Word of advice on semi driving, always always exaggerate your turns and don't start your left turn until your shoulder is even with the obstacle you're turning around. However, having the axles set back will decrease turning radius but will eliminate tail swing.

Good job NC I’m not far from Forbush

Of course we know what happened. We watched the BlancoLirio channel

Talking about technical rescue and new replacements, 2 questions, does south metro plan on replacing Rescue 34? Also is Rescue 34 Considered a Type 1 Resource, Some of The Rescue units for other major departments I've seen are actually identified as USAR units instead of just a Rescue. Despite Rescue 34 not being designated as a USAR rig (IE USAR 34) Are you still considered a USAR resource?

I liked this vlog. Was different seeing videos from the mechanical department. Would be nice if they had their own channel I think that’s interesting

My son is now confused as to why he needs to wait 5 days for this, we love the content!

Something you might want to teach the drivers for the new collapse tech rescue is don't set the trailer brakes during the winter. Otherwise the brakes can freeze and not release when you get ready to leave. The guys at fleet will appreciate it as well I'm sure.

if Red 3 is o.o.s. do they use their former engine 44 sense is has the bumper turret?

I love your the video

Good video. The tinkling music in the background is really distracting to those of us that have to utilize headphones while watching in our homes.

The city of Houston fire department actually has something similar to the collapse rescue but it’s a spartan tractor

I am from Germany, an i have one question: What ist the stenley tool?

Why 5 days?

Would be super cool to drive the semi code 3

Eric are you gonna do the day in the life of you on the fourth of july?

Outside of the electrical connections, it is free to be pulled by another tractor when it’s in the shop, correct?

What brand quick mount light are those?

What’s going to happen to the Ford Expedition med-1?

When covid restrictions ease up you should make a first day as a firefighter pt2 with another probie or do another shift with the first probationary

could you do a fleet friday on the old and new collapse 45 and a station 45 station saturday??

Does SMFR offer ride alongs, specifically with PIO's. I'm coming to denver in July and would like to see first hand what you guys do.

Best contact on the ground @nasa Thank you "Faith here"

It's been a month since the last Station Saturday. What is going on?!?!?!?!

Thank you my friends kim Connor and Eric I’ll have to watch it after the premiere

I love the new black and red paint scheme! Random question, but is the new Engine 20 in service yet?

can you do how to get in your mentor/cadet program if you have one

First off beautiful truck!! But being a truck driver I got to ask! Why do you not have hood mirrors?? Also a freightshaker coming off the line fast I died laughing!!

I would love to drive the collapse truck

Is this the collision that also involved the green plane?

Hackney in NC?

How can I get a South Metro challenge coin

When’s the next video coming out ?

AND THIS IS WHY THERES PARACHUTES ON A CIRRUS

Can we see the new collapse 45?

so do the drivers of the new collapse 45 need a cdl to drive it when you turn anyting witha long wheel base the back end will swing

Any reason for using the Soundoff lightbar vs Whelen or any other lighting companies? TIA!

When are we going to get a "Day in the life" for MED1?

I'm still surprised that they came down without any injuries

I live in Cetntennial, Colorado not far from where this happened.

Luckily that mid air collision didn’t end in a firery inferno

Hey y’all can you please do. A video of the search and rescue. Dodge Ram thanks y’all???

Where is South Metro videos at

X1 firefighter shot and killed today in California. Rest In Peace, his legacy will live on.

My department responded to a plane crash that landed in a field but both of the victims died but it was not a mid air collision

Why has the Med 1 a pushbar like a police car?

why was the dive rescue not in this video

when is a new vid coming

Oh I suspect this thumbnail is related to that mid-air a few days ago?

Can we get a fleet Friday on engine 20 it is beautiful from the video by nate siebert

Hey Eric Kim if there was a fire at an under construction apartment complex would it go under a commercial structure fire or a multi family residential fire

Eric what sunglasses are you wearing?

is the surprise about like a day and the life of a fire fighter at station 21? Because i saw Nate's new videos and you responding with 21's crews of pulse point

Thank you my friends kim Connor and Eric from your friend Kyle in north Springfield Missouri

Do a fleet Friday on the ARM car.

How much gas do Bc’s go through and does having scene lights on for a long period of time affect anything?

Where SMFD been

Show us Collapse 45...

Why do you guys have so many school buses at the fleet garage place.

Do day in the life of FLEET machanic

When will Smfr be hiring again

wheres connor?

Stay safe Eric and Connor

Send my prayers to those who are getting on those planes even tho they’re going to collide😭💛💔

Good show tonight Eric say hello to Connor nice show and tell

@South Metro Fire Rescue- could you please program the Sound Off BluePrint system a little better and flash your trucks all red vs all blue thus creating a large footprint of warning instead of the large purple blob of lights that your BC trucks are now? This would really make all responders on the scene much safer and in turn limit liability for responders!

Nothing new for 3 weeks, what's going on?!?!?

u guys should a trail rescues

What happened to videos

bruh youtube unsubbed me from you so i havnt been getting notis

I really like it to

Where’s Connor

Damn what is with Erics Eyes...looks like a cyborg :D

Is your dispatch robotic now?

❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊

When 35 does a station Saturday pls get the captain form the old unscripted video

Hi

Sometimes I bet my friend Chris to it because he always out

The live chat is not working for me

I found it last Wednesday

Whoever sent you that Dortmund patch - that patch is an outdated career firefighter patch. We have 9 career stations in Dortmund but also 19 volunteer stations responding 24/7.

How is Connor doing?
