- South Metro Fire Rescue (SMFR) has a comprehensive response plan to ensure the safety and well-being of over 30,000 visitors attending the final rounds of the prestigious BMW Championship at Castle Pines Country Club.
"Ensuring the safety of all attendees while maintaining the resources necessary to serve the district is our top priority," said EMS Battalion Chief JP Piche of SMFR. "With our team of highly trained professionals and strategically positioned emergency medical resources, we are fully equipped to handle any emergencies that may arise during the tournament."
As part of the plan, SMFR will deploy seven EMS Medic carts throughout the 18-hole course, each staffed by a paramedic and Firefighter/EMT. These carts will be equipped with essential lifesaving equipment to provide immediate medical assistance to anyone in need.
In addition to the on-course medical response units, SMFR will have an additional Brush truck with four personnel and a dedicated medic unit with two personnel staged at SMFR Station 39 on Happy Canyon, ready to respond to any emergencies occurring outside of the golf course.
"Our teams are strategically positioned to ensure rapid response times and effective coordination in case of any incidents," stated EMS Battalion Chief Piche.
Furthermore, SMFR Emergency Communications will have two dispatchers stationed at the Unified Command center, solely dedicated to overseeing the 25+ SMFR personnel working to guarantee a seamless and efficient emergency response.
SMFR would like to remind all attendees to stay hydrated, pace themselves while traversing the course, and be mindful of their surroundings to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
A lot of thought & planning in this. Seemed to have flowed real good but that's what happens when you have good planning & a good plan!
Looks like a great way to keep exercised in the use of your command system/ backup systems!
Outstanding logistical planning. 👍
Great the SMFR has everything planned for major events such as this too.
That's really cool you guys have that much back up equipment for events like this
Wow! So cool you guys got to do this!
Do you use the same crews for the entire week to maintain familiarity with the venue or are they from the current shift or are they from a pool of people willing to work overtime?
We used a pool of people, however some of them were working multiple days. Chiefs & BC have been there every day.
Kyler is my hero!
What’s a fire fighter 3? 0:56
All of us waiting for the academy series to continue😭😭😭 Can’t wait for the return!!!
I got busy with the golf and plan to get back at it next week.
Ready For Another Fleet Friday & Station Saturday
Who wants to see more fleet Fridays and PIO vlogs? 👇🏻
When did y’all change to zoll monitors?
Great vid, love from PA vollie ❤ Y’all should bring back the unscripted series
Working on a lot of different content, I can tell you nothing is scripted. It all happens organic, just adding some Interviews in to get more information, but those are unscripted as well.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO awesome, y’all make awesome content thanks for doing what y’all do, I might send in a patch if I can find one lol
And I understand that nothing is scripted, I was talking about the series y’all were doing at like the beginning of the channel when y’all like lived at the station for a little called “unscripted”
I used to work for the carinthian red cross and we would provide the medical staff both for visitors and competitors for the Ironman Austria every year, so I know a thing or two about providing medical care with golf carts (or rather _Haflinger_ vehicles, if anybody knows what those are) - and let me tell you, it's definitively NOT "just like an ambulance".
Yes, the carts carry the same stuff (but less of it), but you have neither a transport option nor a way to shield the patient from the nosy public. You also don't have stuff available in neat boxes or drawers and everything is crammed into boxes or rucks... Don't get me wrong: You can work any medical call with the equipment from those carts (minus transport), but you either need a lot more guys than usual (don't need to be trained, security/police/volunteers will do) or you'll not provide the same level of care and privacy you usually do...
But it seems like SMFR incorporated this in their plans quite well, because while there are "just" to people on any given cart, it sounded like they have at least 4 carts on the course and even more personell in a centralized medical tent. Plus event security, plus police, plus wildland ressources. Although it seems odd to me that they did not plan off-site standby units, which has become a standard in our planning since the boston marathon to avoid first responders being hit by an initial attack and becoming victims themselves. Or was this just not mentioned for operational safety? Might be...
They probably can reroute/dispatch ambulances to the location if needed, the carts seem like they're for treating minor injuries and stabilising major ones until a transport unit can get there
@@lord_raindrops237 I figured that a gold course would be inaccessible beyond the club house itself, but you are right - this IS the US we are talking about, so maybe you can drive to every hole if need be ;)
People keep being so mean to me and what should I do about that 😢
