your rescue was my old rescue when i lived in shirley-mastic Long island and was a Volunteer on the FD . glad to see she is still serving her community. keep up the great job and be safe brothers (and ) sisters.
Seems like a FC who knows how to connect with various type "A" personalities when it comes to supervising...not easy to do. Ive never heard of this department, but by chance came across one of their videos. Ive since watched nearly all of them. Based on what ive seen in the videos, every single one of them seem to be well spoken, professional, disciplined, detail oriented, competent, and in my opinion, taxes well spent for their citizens. Ive used some of their videos in an attempt to demonstrate certain expectations. One of their videos showed an engine arrive to a water source, establish that source, deploy a line, and have water on the fire in right around a minute and a half. Go find another video that beats that. Id compare that department to some of the best out there. Good for them, as their tax payers expect nothing less.
I really enjoy the video. Greetings from Costa Rica. I worked for the public ambulance service, I have been with them since 1985 as a volunteer and love everything ralated to firefighter, rescue, ambulance and so on. Keep the great work guys.
The shark is a grate mascot for this company , they seem like they just gotta keep moving to survive . They seem to be a very skilled company , always nice to see , certainly they are dedicated .
Great video. I used to live on Bridger Ct. when it was still in the unincorporated area and remember the very early days of South Metro FD as I was on the Sheriff's Posse (reserve deputies) for several years in the early 70's. When we left there to move to San Diego I said to my wife "If I don't ever see snow again as long as I live it will be to soon". LOL
I love watching all of South metro fire videos I want to definitely go to south metro fire academy and I will be driving by station 31 on Saturday definitely excited
Dive 3 is awesome, has a lot of Hertiage, was super thrilled when I heard that Detroit. Right after I thought do they have any apparatuses with 2 stroke diesels I see 1.
I just realized at 0:39 second they left the pumper compartment door partially open. Hopefully nothing fell out. Once we left a door open and the jaws popped out and flew into the ditch. Thankfully no one was hurt.
@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO, where do you guys get your music for these videos? Especially curious about the piece playing in the background during the boat ride in this video.
3:20 After seeing this video.. I can see the police traffic oficers lining up to do that intersection. Not one single car actually came to a complete stop!
Their specialty trucks probably don't respond to as much calls as their Engine and EMS trucks, just speculating. At my Dept. we have 1 guy who is assigned to either the Tower truck or Heavy Rescue truck at our Station HQ down town (all other trucks at HQ are fully manned). Our Engines, Squads and EMS trucks have a higher call volume. Our Tower and Heavy Rescue respond to commercial alarm activation's and/or motor vehicle accidents. We also have a Marine unit that isn't assigned a crew, but can be assigned and dispatched quickly should the need arise.
We have 5-6 people at one of our stations a shift. We have an engine, ladder, heavy brush, light brush, tender, two medics, and our DC rig. The apparatus or apparatuses we take match the call/need and location.
American Patriot. Any fires or call one shift could have and put out but then rekindle and next shift takes it. I believe that’s how a Pass Down works. If anyone else is seeing, If I’m wrong please correct me.
6 personnel, 2 on the Medic and 4 on the Engine. The engine crew moves to the Dive Rescue unit if a water rescue call comes in and leaves the Engine behind.
OK, I didn’t see them in the cab of your engine there so I have to ask. Where are the marshmallows? Are used to be a member of a volunteer fire department on an engine company and one of the guys decided to put a bag of marshmallows in the cab.
