The calmness of the firefighters shows experience and training. As a volunteer in a truck company I commend you on the attack and search, very professional. Would be good to get volunteers to spend a week with teams like this.

I like how everyone is so incredibly calm on the radio. Fantastic work.

I lived a couple apartment buildings down 15 years ago and that was always a biggest fear of mine. You guys are awesome as always.

This is really great educational content. Thank you for what you do as PIOs.

I have so much respect 🙏 for the men and women of South Metro, always improving and learning how to better serve the community, u r true heroes. May our GOD Almighty continue to keep u safe in his loving arms 💯

You know it is cold when a firefighter asks for hot chocolate/coffee after working a structure fire. Good video, very educational for those who are firefighters. Seeing the first fire, the two firefighters making entry on how quickly, but safely they moved to make an interior search on one room, and then quickly moved to gain access in the rear of the complex was a very well and quick coordinated task.

Thank you for what you do for your community!

What a dream job this is, everyone loves you. I cant think of a person who would dislike a fire fighter.

Wow you guys are 100% superhuman. This is so much work/stress/demand for one day and no one lost their cool. This is the most beautiful part of America, coming together to help those in need.

You guys really don't get paid enough. I have so much respect for all you guys. I have been thru some hell but idk something about going into a building full of smoke. That's scary stuff. God bless our firefighters

Keep up the amazing work with the videos. You guys are one of my favorite channels!

Good ol Blue Card is the reason why radio communications sounds flawless. Every department in the nation should adopt Blue Card. Great video gentleman.

Great Video coverage and I feel for anybody that had to be outside during that arctic blast in every state it hit!

This is super cool and a good reminder of how cool firefighters are day to day. Especially how they calmly checked and ran around a giant complex caring only about the people inside

Eric and Team, solid work on producing this content 👏👏 Picking up little things from these videos like 3:58 adding "urgent" to radio traffic to clear the channel is a grt idea that makes a ton of sense that we didn't do at the dept I worked at. In this way, you're literally creating the opportunity to "see over the shoulders" of a dept that is leading the way in best practices that will help to up-skill other firefighters from across the world 🌎 Love the way you're thinking about knowledge at scale! and those animated text call-outs!! 🙌

I love the swift response and urgency to extinguish the fire currently in SA also training as a fire fighter would love to work abroad

This winter event luckily was not as bad as the one we experienced last year in texas. We are a suburb of Dallas and respond to about 80 calls a day. The day of the ice storm we did over 1,000 in a 24 hr period and most were water shutoffs. Will never forget that shift.

Great video! Keep it coming brothers and sisters of South Metro!

My mom has a friend who lives in Colorado don’t know where tho but I love this channel thank you for your hard work!!!

Love the medic series! Selfishly once a month sucks and would like to see at least twice but that’s a lot of content to get processed! Keep up the good work!

Great video as usual. I liked the Medic episode, very cool, can't wait for more. And because I thought this might be helpful for some viewers: If anyone is curious about how the Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta system works, the front (which is determined by cmd) is alpha, and it goes around clockwise in phonetic alphabetical order.

I always value calm competency on the fire ground. Nice stuff guys.

Thank you for the education South Metro!

Wow. You can't see at all. Thats crazy. Hats off to you guys for running into that stuff.

Great job as always!!

Incredible video. This will be a training night for our department with size up, tools in hand, search and rescue, forcible entry, chain saw, and other skills wrapped up in a single video.

Thank you Kim Connor Eric and Lauren love and miss you my friend your friend in Springfield Missouri kyle

Excellent, as always.

Y’all should do a day in a life of a Rescue Co Cap

Great vlog, Eric. I loved the first episode of fire medic. Happy new year to you and your crew and of course, Connor

Well done Eric !

Happy New year SMFR. Let God help you through tough times.

Would you have any tips for me…? It’s my dream to become a firefighter in my area but the whole medical park scares me a bit. Also amazing work to all these firefighters in this video!

God bless our heros!!! They are some of the kindest,passionate, and dedicated people in our community

Great vidio. Thanks for sharing...🤗🤗

Awesome job sir ty

Would be awesome to see a crossover episode with @fsctrucking when the new ARFF trucks get delivered, that would be cool to see!

Keep up your good work

thank you nfpa for making exit signs mandatory, the sign did what is was designed to do. not a lot of people would say to that fact so I will

nice job forcing that glass door with no damage-very professional

thanx heroes.... im an aussie but hey.... we're all human n u guys r saving lives xxx

After 12:40 thats a great description of the behind the scenes SYSTEMS that need to be ready and then deployed to keep the machine running. Look for systems and build systems 👍👍👍👍

Right off the bat traffic control wasn't in place yet. Nice to see hustle. I like Offensive strategy. Glad two victims were found and rescued with non-life-threatening smoke inhalation. Nice to see many firefighters chomping at the bit wanting to expose the fire on that second call. That is a lot of support staff on scene to assist residents, awesome job. That is great to have new apparatus coming to SMFR to further improve your firefighting abilities for various types of fires. Definitely have Subscribed and have been encouraging others to watch especially future firefighters.

Great educational video

good quality video

My family helps run a Canteen,an old ambulance was converted into a food truck. We offer water coffee food including breakfast sandwiches,and so much more. The depts are so grateful.

I just ret after 35+ yrs. What I see is a great job all around. Ladders calm voices and all companies working well. Nice. Job. Stay safe. I wish.. it was me. least I got to pretend to be there w you 😂

Was the one at 3-7 minutes in an oil burner transformer failure? Back in the mid-2010s, I experienced such a problem, where there was soot on my fan air filter in my bedroom! I lived on the floor above the basement and the boiler was in the basement. Honestly think that I didn't see as much smoke, because the landlord was venting it out. It was a 2006 furnace, too! Not even 10 years old! It wasn't burning completely at all, that's why a ton of smoke! The first symptoms of the faulty oil burner transformer, was that the oil burner randomly failed to start, IIRC.

MORE DAY IN THE LIFES PLEASE

The guy from the ladder company in the beginning had a perfect truckie shuffle

I love these jobs I just hate forcing 20-30 doors like that. It’s so nice if a building mgr can give us a master key to all units

Good job

What cameras are the firefighters using? Are they fire cam ones or another brand? Thanks!

@10:45 those little giant ladders should be on every engine. So versatile.

you should do a day in the life of a fire investagator

i was in town when this happened. i heard all about this on pulsepoint

Great video! I work in emergency services for underground mines in Western Australia and was curious about the system you guys are using to keep track of your guys in the building. Does your IC double as your Entry Control Officer on that white board or are you guys all digital? Cheers!

Can we get more helmet cam videos? I really like them!

that is nothing like the movies, I'm surprised how little you can see, that smoke will kill you in seconds, KUDOS to the fire fighters HEROS ! liked and subbd

Hey, odd question... What do you guys have for support apparatus? Do you run a Canteen Truck, An Air truck, Rehab unit ETC, Thanks

I don't know how you guys do it entering a smoke filled room,not seeing where your going ,not knowing the layout or any of your surroundings,but just wondering if the flashlights have any kind of light filter lenses so you can see through the smoke easier?

This is why second hand smoke kills so fast. Get out and don't grab anything on the way out

Seriously an amazing job. Great guys.

I love SMFD

Any address that you could give me so I send you a patch of my departement? Awesome channel! Big fan up in Canada Quebec!

Hey Guys! Another great video as always. Does Connor still have her ford explorer?

You can never go wrong with hot chocolate on a cold day

Heard about these on PulsePoint! Also, how are we going to call the Crash Tenders "Reds", if they're not red?

What’s with the movement of apparatus I’ve noticed on Smugmug and 5280

I liked the chief was right there with them 👍👍

Doesn't look like any snow chains on the apparatus; are studded tires used?

Hello feat!

I never knew fire departments helped with water leaks or frozen pipes.

Liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻

Im told that New Appararus orders can take up to 24-30 months for an engine and 36-42 months for a ladder

We all have zero grasp on what images firefighters fall asleep to. Please take 15 seconds and silently appreciate what they do for us.

This is why you need reliable home heating in cold climates. When wind and solar go down at night, what takes over to keep this from happening? Often its the much loathed fossil fuels, and often it's Coal.

Great video south metro fire department from Bryer

13:50 interesting. In my country firefigthers doesn't help people with broken water pipes... 😅

Completely understand that it was cold outside but when occupants ignore fire alarms they place themselves and firefighters at risk!

So squared away.

I’m assuming the first fire was probably an appliance fire that spread. Who knows though

Great video! What is happening to station 37? I know their medic unit was reassigned to station 33. Is the advanced resource medic still located there?

Normal for that time of year portable heaters kerosene heaters etc

Are helmet cams issues by the PIOs office or do many of your firefighters just choose to wear cameras?

Are they closing station 37? I noticed that all that is left there is the ARM medic?

This is better than Nightwatch.

Do you know when the new 2023 FF recruitment process and timeline will be posted? I am so eager to apply! my CPAT test is on Jan 20th and I begin EMT school on Jan 18th. :)

Hey happy new year to you ND tell Connor I say the same to her!

How many house fire does south metro fire rescue responded to

Do you think you could post the full video of the fire, including the drive time, basically everything from the helmet cam to the BC dash cam separately? It would be similar to firegroundradio bit with video footage.

Can’t wait for day in life of tillerman

Hi Sir You FireMEN and first responders are very Brave Cool Strong Helpful Fearless Men of Men!! This was nice. I finally got to be with you guys and be safe at the same time! I know fire is Man's best friend and worst nightmare at different times. I would have liked to be a fireman but was afraid of that and never faced the fear. Aren't you afraid as you bring me in there, that something could explode at any time on you guys, and some or all be killed? I won't have any flames in my house. Electric stove, dryer, water heater and heat!! AND THEN, this fire is started by an electric heater ... as a lot of fires are started by electric malfunctions!!! And I am a licensed Eectrical Contractor!! Go Figure!! Fears are Rediculous but very real if not approached and worked through!! Thank You for your Intelligence, Service, Help, Kindness and Rescuing us and our pets at times. God Bless Big Brother!! Respectfully, Kevin

This is my dream job

Vent, Enter, Isolate the smoke and Search. How do you Isolate the smoke? It's easier said than done.

How many stations is there for you guys?

Was listening to this on PulsePoint

Are any of the new medics going to stations that don't already have a medic, or are they just replacing existing ones?

Hope you don't mind the completely random comment, but I'm a creator also. Just wanted to swing by and wish you much success on your channel.

When are more Day in the life videos coming?
