Alberta strong bro

Alberta strong but our rescue truck goes to every call we get

Thanks Mate to address this! I also want to ask you if he can do co-narrating, nareate l some of your films? Consider to ask him a few times. Great voice!

@@kovigyurka South Metro's?

@@torontofirebuff8004 yes. :D If he doesn't change his career. :D

@@kovigyurka Probably not. Haha

Without question a fitting name!

Yeah same reason why I watch this channel too

@@stacybearss2606 awesome man

😂😂😂😂 🥁 😂😂😅

would the friend so happen to be @Southwest Fire Buff?

@@joestractorshop8040 Yessir

Colorado Fire Buff I like you and your friend and I like SMFR PIO

Most trucks in the US have full compartments. This is a pretty bare-bones rig.

Also interesting to see them use hoses with a thread, instead of the Storz-Coupling we use. Seems like a waste of time to have them as screw on, especialy on a brush engine, were you may have to decouple hoses quickly to get the vehicle away from fire...

Yeah, though I imagine the problem of coupling issues might be less frequent and severe with simple threads. Damn hard to close/open a Storz hose coupling sometimes!

Benjamin Köppler threaded couplings are very secure and have fewer moving/breakable parts. they're just reliable. they're also the standard in the US. also, this brush truck would almost never be attached directly to a hydrant as a water supply, it would probably draft off of a porta-tank or body of water, both of which would likely be relatively far from flame fronts.

Fan three is a literal large fan on a trailer

@@andrewrepkin4001 Yes I meant I wanted to know more about it. :)

A coordinated effort. Two videos-one visit. Great idea.

Cool

Awesome

I love SMFR PIO and I like you and your friends Colorado fire buff

Southwest Fire Buff cool

Southwest Fire Buff he seems so chill

there is no RED 4 @Walter

Amirul Sufyan If you watch the very end of RED3s Fleet Friday video there is a reference to a new addition of RED4 with the inference that it will be featured in Fleet Friday.

@@walterpalmgren6873 hes referring to the bucket

Amirul Sufyan I see. I thought about sending a message to the PIOs and asking. I doubt there would be a future episode dedicated to a bucket. Lol If you watched the very end of the video and what is said then you’d understand how I understand it the way I do.

The answer is related to the historical numbering of south Denver metro fire agencies which is not as relevant these days. There were once many departments in the area, so it was agreed to at some point to adopt a uniform numbering system so that there would be no confusion of which units belonged to which department. Castlewood, which became South Metro, was given 3 and therefore all of their specialty units would have to have a 3 in them like Chief 3, Decon 3, Dive 3, Hazmat 3, Rescue 3, etc. and so Fan 3 was named following that tradition. You can still see the old designations printed of many of the specialty rigs like Decon 17, Dive 31, and Hazmat 38 even though they are no longer called that. I am not sure why Fan 3 was never renumbered to put it more in line with the other units, but it will probably keep the Fan 3 decal that ever happens.

That would be SuperVac in Loveland, Colorado. It makes quite a sound!

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO oh man, I bet!!! All it needs now is a nice Borla exhaust!

The only reason I ask is because I heard it had spread to Colorado. Correct me if I am wrong

Colorado has its own wildfires that are separate from the wildfires on the west coast more than 600 miles away. Typically west coast refers to the states of California, Oregon, and Washington. Some media outlets might be reporting it as the western United States wildfires, which Colorado would be part of since that covers the western half of the United States.

Spitfire8520 ok thank you for letting me know. I wasn’t entirely sure

Wildland hose is a smaller diameter single jacket hose that is lighter to carry and deploy, which is important where you may need to deploy several hundred feet of hose through difficult terrain where a truck cannot reach. At 6:33, Engineer Alred showed the progressive hose pack which has a 1.5" trunk line which supplies a 1" line that is they use to fight a wildland fire. The smaller diameter a hose is, the less water it can flow which is all that is needed to put out most wildland fires. A regular hose line is a double jacket hose that is more durable and heavier. Usually those kinds of hose only need to go a couple hundred feet into a building. Some of the typical diameters of regular hose are 1.75" and 2.5" which allows them to flow a lot of water that is needed to put out a large fire.

Spitfire8520 Thank you for the detailed explanation, I appreciate it.

@@dfw_fpis7655 Also depending on what they choose to deploy, some wildland hose also weeps water through its jacket and soaks itself in water to protect the hose from burning out.

JR:FIT Now that’s really smart.

I am guessing that they will send it out in the “clean up” faze of fires rather then dispatch out to active calls

Scba isn't worn during wild land fires. They aren't oxygen they are only compressed air.

Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) are not worn on wildland fires because they are quite heavy and not very useful as a single tank is usually empty within half an hour. Wildland fires are usually endurance battles which can last hours or even days and requires firefighters to be mobile and move quickly. While the air might be smokey, it is still somewhat okay to breath and some firefighters will use a mask to help filter out some of the smoke from a wildfire. SCBAs are typically only used where the air is not safe to breath such as a structure fire where the air can be several hundred degrees or toxic due to the materials like plastics being burned.

Decon 10 is a dedicated COVID-19 decontamination unit that responds to hospitals and stations to decontaminate vehicles and equipment that may have been exposed to COVID-19. Decon 17 is a hazardous materials decontamination unit which carries all the specialized equipment to decontaminate people that may have been exposed to hazardous materials. Decon 10 is hopefully a temporary unit while Decon 17 is more permanent.

@@Spitfire8520 Thank you!

Eric White what you talking about

Rare, not seen or heard about much out in the areas serviced plus for me since we don’t have them I also consider that rare.

The former Littleton Hazmat unit was retired and sold.

@@Spitfire8520 Probably talking about their Decon 17. The white International crew cab box truck.

@@some0ne8 It is possible and Decon 17 is on the list to be featured one of these days. Since it was worded as "Former Littleton Hazmat-17," I believe they are most likely asking about the former Littleton Fire Rescue Hazmat 17 vehicle which was a 1992 Chevy Kodiak / SuperVac and a full hazardous materials unit. Hazmat 17 made a single run as South Metro Hazmat 17 in the very first month after the South Metro consolidation and was then replaced with the current Decon unit. The vehicle that was Hazmat 17 was sold this past June.

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thanks for considering it!

Same

www.littletongov.org/city-services/city-departments/fire-rescue/special-teams/tems

TEMS was a term used by Littleton Fire Rescue and its meaning is in the link that Tim shared. While South Metro did inherit the former Littleton TEMS vehicle, I think that they do not call it that if it still around as South Metro's counterpart is their SWAT Medic team.

Isn't this enough? He mentions what the blades can bear but the motor could do more right now too.

Gas engines are plenty powerful enough for what this truck is doing and for the amount of use it will get. There really isnt much weight on the brush truck so its capable enough. And you avoid the diesel regulations and dont have to worry about DEF and regen cycles.

@@hihfty maybe. and def is a royal pain. diesel is just a byproduct of gasoline

Advanced Resource Medic (ARM)

Advanced Response Medical ...ARM...

@@terry7472 No its Advanced Resource Medic. I'm 99% positive.

Arizona Fire Buff 1 I stand corrected, you are correct. I just love the auto correct that is wrong 90% of the time. Lol

Wot

I think he was saying that they were custom made for the dept, not that the dept itself made it.

You may want to consider that this is a Fleet Friday so the expectation of this video would be that it provides factual information regarding a specific piece of apparatus. Vlogs and Incident Reviews are the only videos that are intended to provide retrospective updates of events that occurred in the past weeks. KZfaq is not ideal for covering events in real-time since these videos require a lot of hours to record and edit, but it is very good for communicating older information. South Metro held a ceremony for 9/11 and the whole organization observed a moment of silence. If you would like to see real-time updates where they did post how they remembered 9/11, you will want to follow @SouthMetroPIO on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Spitfire8520 thank youi did not see that it makes a lot of sense
