You can tell Isaac is not camera shy and has practiced to do a walk around on his truck because he flies right through it and doesn't stutter as some firefighters do when doing walk arounds. Isaac also has amazing energy and an encouraging smile especially with that sweet moustache.
Isacc is top notch in knowledge and just overall personality. We've hosted him a bunch of times for his Vehicle Extrication classes from here in Central PA. Great video.
thats my house at 16:30! Determined that lightning DID strike the house TWICE! Surge blew up a light switch, lots of our electronics were fried and some hosing for our natural gas got spiderwebbed by the strike. No fires but house smelled very much like something was burning and good thing we found the gas line very quickly to replace. They were so awesome and thorough! Appreciate our WFD! TOP NOTCH!
As part of the Citizen Fire Academy, I did a 10 hour ride out with a different station and got to see just how dedicated and amazing these men and women are. So much respect for all of our first responders out there keeping us safe!
that guy you were talking about in the bulldozer was my uncle! thanks for the great work you did to get him out! you guys are awesome and amazing! thanks for your time and service to help my uncle!
I love watching firefighters go be the best part of a bad situation and people like you I admire for taking the time to be there for the video and experience for us. Thank you
Great video! As a former Sedgwick County 911 dispatcher, I appreciate all of it. I loved working "fire board" more than any other. I was there when we transitioned from the klaxon-style horn to the electronic style alert system.
24:27 I'm glad you mentioned this, the entire time during the Rescue 1 tour it seemed like it was just background chatter from dispatch. Guess it shows just how valuable the First-In system in for SMFR and the quality of life improvements it brings.
Super interesting for me as a becoming volunteer firefighter from Germany, many things and equipment are familiar but here we have different vehicles for divers, heavy duty rescue and firefighting. Also our trucks are smaller but in the US everything is bigger, even the rescue 1 guy is a unit. Stay safe guys. Great stuff and awesome video.
Man that bunk room is rough... waking everyone up no matter the call? Seems insane until you realize how much thought and effort SMFR puts into quality of life improvements that other departments... apparently just don't.
Not every department has the funding for such things. South Metro is extremely fortunate to have the ability to build elaborate stations and keep top of the line equipment
@@JollyGreenGiant94 As a taxpayer in SMFR's district, I'd never question the mill rate or vote against an increase on it (unlike some of the other rather mismanaged public agencies that want more money to waste every ballot). Hell they probably realize that is a benefit of what Eric does for them. Showing the public the value in the department beyond the obvious. Seriously it makes you proud driving by the stations and seeing the investment in the community. Giving them the funding they need just makes sense when you see how well they operate.
I was thinking the exact same. SMFR is well funded and has good stations, built for 48 hour shifts. Nothing wrong with a rough and ready station though, old school.
@@some0ne8 Thank you for sharing your perspective on this! From a firefighter health and wellness perspective, sleep is vital to mental and physical optimization. SMFR is fortunate to have community members like you who support the organization and the people who serve.
As someone who can grow a mustache that is complimented by A TON of people, let me say, that mustache is perfect. 10/10 don't have to know anything else other than you're are truly the greatest FF of all time
Thank you so very much for your service as a Firefighter and Rescue. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding. May God always keep you safe and healthy where ever you go
So watching this I was like hmm, I think I have seen this before and come to find out, I have. But idk how many times I watch this I am still excited to see the kids excitement of seeing the inside of any emergency apparatus. That for me was the best part of being in the Emergency Services Field was the " Show and Tell" whether at a School, the Station or out at the scene of a call. Getting to see the kids smiling and be excited was always what made it well worth it to me.
Eric this video was top notch. I absolutely love this style of content of all day ride alongs. Keep up the great work, nice to see you on your own channel!
A wealth of knowledge. I love to chat with people like this on the various fds. I don't know nothing on this job until I've had a few conversations with people like this!!!
Hello from Hays, Ks, biggest thing on I-70 between Salina, Ks, and Denver, Co. We have a fair sized department with 7 guys on each shift, 24 on, 48 off, of those on duty, an Engine and ladder are staffed, Command (Captain [Shift Commander]), and a guy staffing a crash truck at the Airport. Our Department has 3 engines, 2 ladders (Quints), 2 ARFF, and 3 utilities. We are also Technical Rescue Certified, cross trained with county volunteers. Years ago when my father was still on, we had Hazmat, but have since discontinued large scale operations regarding Hazmat. A Third station is being constructed to improve ISO, but have no plans to up staffing to my knowledge at this time. Current plan is to just split trucks between I believe. All Firefighters with Hays are ARFF certified. Great Video, I enjoy your SMFR videos as well. Great Job!
My dad was a retired ff in Wichita. After he passed I got his badge tattooed on my right shoulder so he is still looking out for me! He's got my back permanently now lol
Absolutely LOVED the views of you waking up to the nightly alarms. That’s what I must look like, too. Greetings from a German volunteer firefighter! 🤙🏼
A word didn't have to come out of that man's mouth. As soon as I saw his fantastic moustache; alright this man know's what he's doing, I've seen enough
Great to see... In The Netherlands seems to be more "machines" customised to their job. Many stations with an own speciality. Not strange with so many fire-stations in a smaller area. Loved to see this truck, keep up doing the great job ! Love it 🙂
Alot of Dutch firefighters come over the US to fight fire with us for cross-training reasons. I know of one who's been with Detroit Fire Department going on a decade and has ridden with Squad and Engine Co's. He's caught many jobs in that time.
Driving by that Spangles on the first call made me want a Gourmet Supreme. I’ll have to take my daughter for a burger when I go see her next weekend. Just a Kansas farm kid living and loving life in Colorado.
Love seeing these trucks! So cool to see how everything works and what variety of tools each department needs based on their locale! Be careful out there, you guys!
The rescue is top notch, and I’ve seen a few in my years. Not having met the firefighter, he definitely seems top shelf. I’m filing “nick nacky” as an official technical term…love it.
What an awesome and outstanding department and video scenes of it as well, I would have never thought of this much action from Wichita I expected to see a video like this from New York City or Chicago LA Houston or some other major city but now much respect to Wichita which will be on my list of departments to watch on the tube that truly is major urban city and fire department , Also great looking trucks and staff units as well.. Thanks for sharing this.. Tony j. from Indiana 🙌🏼👍👏🏼🔥🚨🚒
This is good for people who don’t really know shit. Gives us like a look into how these guys operate and makes your respect go even higher for what these men and women really do on the daily. It’s really incredible. Like you can’t be a dumb firefighter. You have to be really smart and have an overload of common sense and kind of almost a sixth sense when you do that job. You gotta be locked in man. There’s such little room for any type of mistakes or lapse in judgment or errors or anything like that.
0:02 _some might recognize him from his excellent mustache business_
You can tell Isaac is not camera shy and has practiced to do a walk around on his truck because he flies right through it and doesn't stutter as some firefighters do when doing walk arounds. Isaac also has amazing energy and an encouraging smile especially with that sweet moustache.
I agree 100%
That's a man that's been on the job a long time and knows his shyt front to back 🫡
Being on a specialty truck for so long I’m sure he’s done plenty of tours on it 😂
@@seventenn610 preach brother
Not a firefighter but as an outsider, I have to say, this rig is badass! Super clean and organized!
I never seen a rescue truck that big before. And the hallway thing in the back is unique
I love seeing the grins and excitement from kids getting to go in a truck. It makes their day!
Firefighters and EMTs are this world’s living angels. Nothing but respect and admiration. My cousin is a firefighter here in Texas. Subscribed!
Isacc is top notch in knowledge and just overall personality. We've hosted him a bunch of times for his Vehicle Extrication classes from here in Central PA. Great video.
He's a top shelf firefighter, no doubt. Thanks for watching!
@@WorkingFirePIO loved that PIO vlog for june
Awesome!! Come to Ohio!!!
@eriksantor9125 where ya at in PA? Central PA guy here as well
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist2 what da hail

That "public relations" move by allowing the birthday party to climb aboard Rescue was priceless...a "win, win for everyone."
As part of the Citizen Fire Academy, I did a 10 hour ride out with a different station and got to see just how dedicated and amazing these men and women are. So much respect for all of our first responders out there keeping us safe!
What’s a citizen fire academy what cities have them
@@wadeopaczewski8795no idea but you can do ride along on almost any department regardless.
that guy you were talking about in the bulldozer was my uncle! thanks for the great work you did to get him out! you guys are awesome and amazing! thanks for your time and service to help my uncle!
Sorry for your loss
sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss
My condolences to you and your family 😢 🙏
Sending condolences.
I love watching firefighters go be the best part of a bad situation and people like you I admire for taking the time to be there for the video and experience for us. Thank you
We are all gathered here to see the size of this W. Great to see you on RUclips now Eric, great first video!
Much appreciated!
A proper RESCUE, 2 man cab, walk through body 👍
Couldn't agree more!
Eric fantastic work. I can't wait to see what's to come! Take care.
Best of the best love you guys God bless thank you for your services
And everyone thinks Kansas is just flat out farm fields lol.
Thanks Again Eric is for this experience 😊🙏🇺🇸
Great video! As a former Sedgwick County 911 dispatcher, I appreciate all of it. I loved working "fire board" more than any other. I was there when we transitioned from the klaxon-style horn to the electronic style alert system.

So grateful for EMS and Firefighters as well as the Soldiers you guys are so underrated thank you for yor services risking yalls life for ours 🙏🏽
Thank you so very much for your service as a Firefighter and Rescue. Your hard work and dedication is outstanding. May God always keep you safe and healthy where ever you go
Really enjoyed this as Wichita was where I started my service career. Born and raised in Wichita. A great department.

I literally just watched Pierce’s video on that truck
Eric this video was top notch. I absolutely love this style of content of all day ride alongs. Keep up the great work, nice to see you on your own channel!
Much appreciated, thank you!
Good video ! On the job in Maine. Nothing beats starting your shift with hydrant shoveling ! It’s great!
I visited Maine in the Fall a few years ago and can imagine some very harsh winter conditions there!
The happy look on the little boy when he got out of the rescue was awsome
Ü⁰😂🎉🎉🎉
Awesome video, great walk in squad. Helpful to see how different compartment layouts, work for others
Props to the guy running while carrying a chainsaw, K12 saw and 2 long hand tools.
A wealth of knowledge. I love to chat with people like this on the various fds. I don't know nothing on this job until I've had a few conversations with people like this!!!
Isaac is the man! knows his stuff, and his classes are awesome! Can't recommend him enough! And its not just work, he makes it fun!
Look at that lip coat man, I trust him to absolutely demolish a fire
Legend has it that fires self extinguish in fear when they see it.

Hi
😂
I've driven through Hays many times and slept there once or twice. I haven't visited a firehouse there yet but this information is great!
My dad was a retired ff in Wichita. After he passed I got his badge tattooed on my right shoulder so he is still looking out for me! He's got my back permanently now lol
Wow that's a really cool tattoo idea!
That intro is amazing! Also, this rescue has one of, if not the best setup that I have ever seen!
That Rescue 1 is rather impressive. Very well laid out and has given me many good ideas. Nice channel!
Absolutely LOVED the views of you waking up to the nightly alarms. That’s what I must look like, too. Greetings from a German volunteer firefighter! 🤙🏼
Fantastic work! I’m looking forward to seeing your next videos!
A word didn't have to come out of that man's mouth. As soon as I saw his fantastic moustache; alright this man know's what he's doing, I've seen enough
Sat through a class with Isaac, dude was top notch. The guy was literally overflowing with knowledge and I cant imagine riding his truck. Great video.
Thank you for your service in the fire service really appreciate it sir.

OMG! Currently doing ride-alongs with WFD and this is so awesome! Loved this video!
Thank You Sir for Explaining to Everyone what is on the Fire Truck.
This is GREAT!
I guess "knick-knacky stuff" is a fire fighter term. Love it. PLUS -- I'm not a mustache fan, but his is FABULOUS!
Absolutely mind blowing how much gear and equipment that truck carries.
Fire scares the bejeebers out of me. Folks who do this for a living, and/or first responders in general, are my heroes.
Love seeing these trucks! So cool to see how everything works and what variety of tools each department needs based on their locale! Be careful out there, you guys!
Rescue apparatus is my favorite man. Such capabilities
That is a really big engine. You sound very smart with your job
Thank you for all you do
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Love seeing fire fighters showing off there rigs to kids. Hopefully planting seeds for the next generation. Good work brother's 🚒
Great video, congratulations on your new channel, I will be following your exploits!👍🏽🇺🇸
Thank you!
Great vlog. That Dept 🚒 really has things together
Hell yeah can’t wait to watch this channel grow. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Worked with Issac in St. John’s County Fla. Very nice rig and equipment.
Nice work Eric from Jacksonville FL
Great job work in Wichita
That would be a awesome station to work at. I live a little to far for Wichita KS.
one of the best ride along and tour i've ever seen. Thank you!
So cool to see these videos for other departments!
God bless our first responders.
Specially like that fire truck rescue with the black wheels 🛞 and the black and red colour on it with the yellow stripes 🥰🥰🥰
Feel free to swing by Hays, KS on your way back home! It’s be great to see a smaller town or rural fire department. Heck, maybe even Cal Fire?
Thanks!
Its wonderful to see that some FD's still use walk in rescues the crew cabs are to long to be practical where I was
great video. microphones were a great touch that totally made the video pro quality. keep em comin
Those DJI mics are impressive. Thank you!
You should do a ride along with anchorage Middletown fire department in Kentucky
Excellent video! A good balance of efficient but thorough tour of the rescue, coupled with plenty of ride along footage.
Thank you!
And reading smoke can help you identify where the fire is in connection with your location on the fireground.
Eric I know your busy at south metro but can you do a ride along at Springfield MO Fire Department?
The rescue is top notch, and I’ve seen a few in my years. Not having met the firefighter, he definitely seems top shelf. I’m filing “nick nacky” as an official technical term…love it.
You should come right up to Saint Joseph Missouri Fire Department!
Thank you for doing this eric
Amazing video! I just loved the content! Can’t wait to see more from you outside of south metro!
Much appreciated, thanks!
More of this , this could be the start of an epic series , this could really start something here eric! 🔥
Thanks! 🤘
Cheers for this awesome post .I finally got an excellent result will this lovely method when I tried it.I am enjoying it now
Awesome video it will be awesome to see 2s also Wichita doesn’t get enough social time
Congratulations Eric great start to what will be an awesome channel.
Dude that is awesome. Glad the algorithm brought you by! Looking forward to more man !!
Thanks!
These guys have better water rescue equipment than Escambia County, Florida.
On top of an excellent training business - he also has one Excellent Mo! lol - Good work on the video Eric - can't wait to see more
Appreciate you using up your free time to shoot great videos! 👍👍
25 years volunteer. 2.5 paid. Miss it every day. 90-2007
Quite the rig, I'm excited for SMFR Tiller in the future
Great job Eric taking the show on the road.
Love the video can’t wait to see more of your amazing work
Very different to the firefighters in the Netherlands! Loved to watch this!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic Work Eric! can't wait to see more of your video's!
Thank you!

Excellent video to start your channel. plenty of detail, but keeping it going but also not showing drama for drama sake, like some shows do.
Thank you!
Very impressive. Your County is well protected.
That, is a moustache that commands respect. I tip my hat to you sir! 😃
Really neat eric thanks for this awesome video buddy
Awesome video its better than TV stay safe
Amazing equipment and sooo compact!
Thanks for introducing the fire station! I love the view on fire station. It looks better than our country.
