Nice video, Tanker/Tender OPS!!, I remember participating in an ISO test several years ago in Alaska, we used an attack rig flowing a monitor (1,000 GPM) into a big pond, 2 fold a tanks and I seem to remember (8) 2000 gallon tanker/tenders(Curb weight closer to 70,000 lbs) in constant rotation. We maintained the 1,000 GPM for over 1 hour, which was the goal. Thanks for the videos P.S. I've got one of your "SO. Metro "t's
Connor you have done it again 👏👏👏 💞 awesome job with this video 😎😀 I was interested to learn about the water set up. the driving skills testing was interesting too 😀 Thanks Connor for sharing this
Hi guys, I'm a new firefighter myself, i had a little question. We are tought to always stay near a wall and turn the same direction inside structures. That way, if you need to get out quickly and there's even worse visibilty, you can just turn around, stick to the wall again and turn the other direction each time. I don't see them doing this here. Is this not a custom in the US? I see them crawl in the same way we do, but they just go through the middle of the room. I know you can just follow your hose back out. They told us this can get confusing if there are multiple hoses inside, or if for whatever reason you loose track of the hose. I'ld love a response, and i'm not trying to criticise you. Just trying to learn from different places around the world ;) Also, i like the pool you use, i see it often in american videos! In Belgium, we don't have those. Our tenders (which we call tank trucks) feed into the pumper trucks directly. We do this because Belgium is much more densily populated, so a tender would never have to drive too far to get to a large hydrant. We do have large truck containers that can be used for the same purpose, but they're almost never used. They're mostly used to extinguish burning electric cars (just drop them in). Anyway, thanks to anyone willing to reply to the question i asked before going offtopic :D
Hey man, I don’t know if you found the answer to your question yet. But the way it’s typically done is to stick to a wall if conditions warrant it. If there’s visibility and you can see 360 around you find, if it’s limited visibility you do ur search and fire attack typically off a wall
This is something that doesn't seem to be addressed in a lot of training in the US as well. Standard search is what you're referring to is called here. It's the most basic type of search and is done without a handline to locate victims quickly in poor conditions. In reality, search is performed often with an officer, and typically from the edges of the unburned portions of the building and out.
These are awesome!! It helps me get a feeling on how fire academies as i will be going to my local academy to become a Vol. firefighter soon! I am 17 right now and in the Junior Firefighter program waiting for a class to open up soon
Just a question from a german firefighter: Why do you use Storz couplings on some of your larger hoses but screw couplings on all the others? Here in Germany we always use Storz couplings. Greetings from Germany
A little late, but serious question - Do most cities have such large classes? Is everyone hired at the same time? Seems like a lot of new recruits to spread around.
Cool video guys just a quick question on your medic units do those firefighters paramedics also work on the engines or trucks or do they just stay on medic units?
It’s called CPAT! Here’s what you do. Clothing: -long pants -a shirt -no watches, bracelets, earrings, etc - gloves (gives to you) -50 pounds vest (given to you) You must do these exercises: -3 min stair stepper(with 75 pound vest -drag a dummy 75 yards -crawl threw a tight space -roof pulling/ venting -ladder climbing And more I can’t think of off hand! I suggest looking it up.
Hello, this was just a question if I get accepted into the academy and pass will I be able to become a firefighter in the uk? Or does it not work like that
Some trucks have a camera in the box that the driver can see on the rear view mirror. Also thats where the "screen" for back up cameras are on some models.
can anyone explain me the difference of the couloured hoses used at smfr? at my fire department we are just using white ones(old) and orange/yellow (new) hoses
Professor Severus Snape number one if you have visibility no need to follow the wall....they might not of been simulating zero visibility. Number two you have the hose line to follow back out and you don’t need the wall. A lot of departments are going to search methods now where you don’t use the wall as much.
That’s so cool how the wall of the tender just folds down.
Very nice tribute to the CSP Trooper!
Just doing an awesome job at the Academy keep it up

@@Adam-hp5hj where I work and most departments in my area, primary search is done ahead of fire attack and a handline, in groups of 2
I thought it was really cool how the side of the tenders just fold down to get to the pools and then they just pour water out the side of the truck!!
Yay!!!! SMFR Academy week 11 👨🚒👩🚒
4:10
That's the best thing I've seen! A spiderman plush used as a child.
These are awesome!! It helps me get a feeling on how fire academies as i will be going to my local academy to become a Vol. firefighter soon! I am 17 right now and in the Junior Firefighter program waiting for a class to open up soon
Stick with it. You won't regret it.
Hi Logan, I’m a 14 year old that wants to be a fire fighter, i wanted to ask how it’s like and how the job is?
@@delphiriddle9618 same here
I love the spiderman as the victim hahaha but amazing video!
These videos are really inspiring
Can we have a fleet Friday with those tenders?
I think they did one
If I had it my way, we’d all be using 3000 gallon tankers.
You would love the Cat 1's we have in the NSW Rural Fire Service, our Heavy Bush Tankers carry 3,500L of water.
In Belgium, almost all tankers are 12000+ litres (3100 gallons-ish)
Just a question from a german firefighter:
Why do you use Storz couplings on some of your larger hoses but screw couplings on all the others? Here in Germany we always use Storz couplings.
Greetings from Germany
Saving baby Spiderman 👶🕷👏👏👏
That was when he got inspired to be a super hero
Good job keep the good work up nice video
That spider man doll has been through alot of training
Love the video keep it up guys. 👍
These cadets are growing up (into their career) so fast. Soon they'll be moving out of the house (academy).
A little late, but serious question - Do most cities have such large classes? Is everyone hired at the same time? Seems like a lot of new recruits to spread around.
if u watch the nyfd academy there’s dozens of recruits
Could you guys send me a couple of your T shirts? Nice job too. Here in Central New York we use 1600 gallon tankers.
Hi just letting you know that I love your vids and I am dreaming to be a firefighter or policeman when I get older.
Same
Thanks Connor
Do a rescue next week!!!
Cool video guys just a quick question on your medic units do those firefighters paramedics also work on the engines or trucks or do they just stay on medic units?
Does south metro have a fire explorer program
Good vid
Awesome Video Connor.
Good job fire fighter
And when they aren’t busy they can fill your pool
Our rural volunteer fire dept literally did that for someone last week during our weekly training session :)
Do they have to pass the drivers test to move on
Grant Campbell as a firefighter no, but it is helpful, but no because some chose to become engineers others are just assigned a rig to be on.
Do you have to pass the physical test before you come to the Academy
I believe that all applicants must have a valid CPAT before any testing begins.
It’s called CPAT! Here’s what you do.
Clothing:
-long pants
-a shirt
-no watches, bracelets, earrings, etc
- gloves (gives to you)
-50 pounds vest (given to you)
You must do these exercises:
-3 min stair stepper(with 75 pound vest
-drag a dummy 75 yards
-crawl threw a tight space
-roof pulling/ venting
-ladder climbing
And more I can’t think of off hand! I suggest looking it up.
4:01 I would have said I found a wild spiderman on the radio
They are awesome 👩🏻🚒
Interesting, you don't need a special or specific driver license in order to drive such heavy truck???
A commercial drivers license isn't required, but a driver / operator course is included in the fire academy for all firefighters.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIOis that standart for all firedepartments?
in germany you need a spcial liscnens you need but its the same as Trucks
Connor is a literal goddess.
🚒🚒🚒🚒Great video
Love it
Gosh. She's gorgeous.
If connor would my girl I'll become firefighter in a week not 20
Haha no you wouldn’t
I am a student at Kenya studying fire protection and I would like to work with you after my studies
I have a question at 3:24 why does he knock on the floor
It's called "sounding the floor", checking for soft spots that you might fall through.
@@LivingOnCash oh cool
Nice vid! Where has Bob been?
Oh ok. I will.
Good job
Hello, this was just a question if I get accepted into the academy and pass will I be able to become a firefighter in the uk? Or does it not work like that
Can you guys send a patch to ohio
These fast setup ponds, whats the name or the company behind?
Whoa 3:51
Did those firefighters just let that door close behind them?
Guess whos trapped inside!
Wheres your "S" Hooks?
She's cute
Doing good 👩🏻🚒
Yes
Question can they see out the back with the rear view mirror?😂
Some trucks have a camera in the box that the driver can see on the rear view mirror. Also thats where the "screen" for back up cameras are on some models.
can anyone explain me the difference of the couloured hoses used at smfr? at my fire department we are just using white ones(old) and orange/yellow (new) hoses
Could i get a few t-shirts?
Why arent the engines just directly connected with the tender? Is there a need for the ponds?
What her name
Hey Connor
4:01 252がスパイダーマンで草
I Wish South Metro Fire Rescue Do 36 Minute Unscribited Video & I Would Totally Watch If Its 36 Minute Unsribited Video
I never found bob
back in the days of brass....you NEVER let a coupling drop on or hit the concrete
1:30-1:34 is wrong. When entering a room with a charged hose line and you’re crawling around, you should stick to the wall.
Professor Severus Snape every FD has there own way of doing things
I mean you don't really have to you have a line that you can follow if you need to
Professor Severus Snape number one if you have visibility no need to follow the wall....they might not of been simulating zero visibility. Number two you have the hose line to follow back out and you don’t need the wall. A lot of departments are going to search methods now where you don’t use the wall as much.
Spider man hahaha
