Loved fighting grass fires when I was working. The bailout tool is si simple an amazing. Bailout for us when jumping or screaming for a ladder to the window. It’s great that equipment and knowledge is really progressing greatly. Great job. Keep these videos coming.
Ah, the tender -shuffle- shuttle... I remember it well :) My former volunteer fire departement's tender was part of an all-state strike force and when it was forrest fire season, we'd do the shuffle pretty much all summer long. Kinda miss those days, now that I moved to big city EMS...
Hi Eric and Connor 😀 great vlog....it was interesting about the discrepancy on the brush fire call between the size on the original call and the park rangers' size description of the fire... happy there were no injuries nor damage. I'm also glad that on the barn fire call the wind didn't cause issues with the fire spreading....
I love your videos. They are so informational, and I enjoy watching what it really takes to be a firefighter. Is there anything special you need to become a PIO? Like what certifications and requirements do you need? Is your tenders the same thing as a tanker? What are the differences between the different class engines, and the different class brush trucks? Are you able to go out of multiple story buildings with the bail out kit. What is exactly a bail out kit.
I am from Michigan, nice to see a patch from there... can you send me a list of ALL the patches from Michigan please or make a video please? Also a video of all the patches at least once every two months would be nice about all the patches... thanks!!!
Camera equipment question: What sort of lens or lenses do you two use for low light/nighttime photographs? Your night shots are always so sharp and well lit. Additionally, for a telephoto, what's your go-to lens?
Shabazz i think the reason they don’t show medical calls is because there are patients/other people involved and they most likely wouldn’t want their faces on the internet, but with fires there’s rarely any homeowners faces shown or information about them. so it’s probably a privacy thing
South Metro Fire Rescue PIO DERS(Diesel Exhaust Removal System) NFPA required. Also they require turnout gear be stored in somewhere besides near the bays.
That would restrict the tender to wait until it is empty to go for the next load from the hydrant. This way you have 3000ish gallons port a tank + the tank of the engine(s) as a reservoir on scene + 3000gallons on the way in with the tender on the run. Also operations via an open basin is safer (danger of waterhammer from closing valves and "blown out tanks" on the receiving end engine are minimized) in addition it is easier to monitor (eyeballing the water still available on scene). Hydrant->via hose ->boostpump(s)->via hose -> attack engine is done when the hydrant is not too far away. (depending on situation) Greetings from Germany! Nice PIO work, guys! Keep it up!

Retired Paramedic from TX, medically disabled now, spent a lot of PTO time in CO & NM. Love the videos, stay safe, many blessings.

SMFR is the only Fire outfit nationally with a ISO 1 rating that uses tenders for non-hydrant areas.
I've never seen a barn on such a tiny lot before, that's pretty interesting. It looked to take up 5% of whole the property!
Great to finally see a Western Australian patch sent in.
Can you do a fleet Friday on a tanker pumper you guys have. Not the Kenworth chassis. The actual Pierce Velocity tanker pumper.

Anyone else want a fleet Friday on the water tender?!
George Klipfel which one? They have multiple.
Yes I do
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO ok
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO sweet!!! Water Tenders are the coolest in my opinion...
You got your wish nine months later.
Man there is just no getting over the idea that the rope brakes. But doing my FF2/FF1 was cool.
My department has a tanker, instead of a port a tank we call to a drop tank.

Fleet Friday on the Brush Rig! Type 6!
Great video for fleet Friday can you do a rescue engine?
How much line does one of them rescue bailout packs hold?. Looks like atleast 3 stories. Nice vlog.

South Metro Fire Rescue PIO Thanks for the info!
Do y’all ever film calls too Medic calls ? Cuz I always see fire calls from u guys
Shabazz i think the reason they don’t show medical calls is because there are patients/other people involved and they most likely wouldn’t want their faces on the internet, but with fires there’s rarely any homeowners faces shown or information about them. so it’s probably a privacy thing
Shabazz it’s called hippa
Shabazz HIPPA laws prohibit
Are you going to have a EMS vlog ? You were saying something about that last night at the family night thing you were live on.
They have an EMS Unscripted in the works.
@@Spitfire8520 O can't wait thanks for letting me know
Can we get a fleet Friday on the type 3 and type 6 engines?
The Western Australian one is my local fire department!
Hello I have a question, in the Bay area what are the big tubes hanging?-Liam
South Metro Fire Rescue PIO DERS(Diesel Exhaust Removal System) NFPA required. Also they require turnout gear be stored in somewhere besides near the bays.
Here in NY, we call that rural water supply operations.
Very common up in the Northeast. See it alot up in PA too.
What’s that bail out kit called????
yes
Why can't you pump water from one engine to another? 🤔

Greetings from Germany!
Nice PIO work, guys! Keep it up!
Out of curiosity are guys using the 3000/3500 gallon tenders or do you guys use the 2000 or 5000 tanks
All of SMFR's tenders carry 3000 gallons of water.
Who ever disliked this u are disrespectful
lol
I thought that the bailout is done from an airplane. Ha Ha.
I was 10 th
Hay can cause a alone
This is out of control
It really is
Second here
