    it’s so crazy to me how pitch black and blind it actually on the interior of a smoke filled structure, these fireman are so calm and controlled throughout any situation that they have to deal with. I am glad to see these amazing people and I hope to become someone that is in the department.

    This is the most well done fire video video I’ve ever seen so far and is exactly the type of content I am looking for and needs to be done by more departments. You got helmet cam video, radio coms audio, on-screen text descriptions, & PIO breakdowns of incidents. I feel like if this department does more videos with all those components they could rival the Stockton CA FD channel (which produces the best FD video content on RUclips rn IMO)

    Before watching the entire video, a compliment right off the bat: Thank you for including the responding apparatus in a written note on screen. Before I always tried to get it from the radio call we can usually hear in the cam footage, but it was incomplete or garbled a lot of times. Like this I know I have the full picture. (And I am very interested in this because I like comparing with international fire departements, including "meassuring" a call for the appropriate response.)

    • @Stargazzer811
      @Stargazzer811 Год назад

      Hey QemeH, don't forget when you compare departments to also compare apparatuses. Remember that North American style rigs tend to carry more people and gear then European style ones, so the level of response may be different due to manpower and gear requirements. I've never seen a European style truck that can hold more than 4 people but some NA style trucks can take up to 10. Just some food for thought. Cheers o7

    • @QemeH
      @QemeH Год назад

      @@Stargazzer811 That is a really interesting response, because I was under the impression that it was exactly the other way around...
      NA apparatus, as seen here with SMFR, is usually staffed by 4 firefighters (both truck and engine), while command vehicles (Battalion and Med One) are driver only.
      European rigs, however, usually carry 6 firefighters in career departements (down to 2-3 for specialized vehicles like an aerial platform or rehab unit) and 9 firefighters in volunteer departements, while command units usually have a driver/radio operator PLUS the actual commander.
      The german standard for example is a tactical value of 0/1/8 (called a "Gruppe", i.e. group), which in most career departements is split between an engine/pumper/truck (0/1/5) and an aerial device (0/0/3). The idea is to have two 2-man teams (one for "attack", which I guess you would call "inside work", i.e. looking to make entry asap and begin primary search - and one for "water", which you'd call "outside work", i.e. jacking a hydrant, ventilating or assisting with making entry) plus the driver/engineer plus the commander on the front line apparatus - and then a third 2-man team on the aerial device to perform rescue and/or attack from above plus driver/engineer of that rig (if the group of 9 responds with just one apparatus, the "second driver" would be called a "message runner", i.e. radio operator, assistant to the commander and what you'd call a safety).

    Nice job. I always enjoy these videos. Another option is for the driver to make sure they have an adequate water supply, meanwhile the officer does his 360 and the 2 firefighters in the back stretch the line and prepare for attack. They can spend a few seconds knocking some down before entering, making conditions cooler, which would be better in case of any victims and better for the search crew. Also, if the officer needed to go inside, he could've passed command to the next arriving officer so he/she could be with their crew, unless the BC made it to the scene first.

    Excellent video! I definitely would love to see more POV's from your crews. I noticed that in the structure fire L12's alpha team noted above normal hotspots away from the fire. While I have no formal training, I can only surmise that this was because the fire spread through the underside of the floor in the basement of that home. Great work on the car fire too; took L12's crew very little time to knock it down to a safe level, and I also noticed EMS Sup Knutson was on scene for that one; loved his Day in the Life video! That gas meter fire was wicked though, never seen one honestly but glad nothing else was damaged. Bravo to that kid for being so vigilant!

    Hey Eric, I love watching the South Metro Videos! I was wondering if you could do a video on all the camera gear that you have as a PIO and other PIOs?

    I remember when my neighbors house burned down. We live in a very rural area. They brought 4 tankers, and drained the local creek dry. Total loss, burned for 3 days. Chimney fire
