Definitely!!

For the state of Colorado they are the second biggest dept second to denver fire, there mutual aid district is massive and there where a great aid to my little department that i was with.

What is a pio?

@@leorusso8029 public information officer

@JAKE W thanks in the uk we don’t have any battilon chiefs or commissions or pio so it’s kinda weird

@@cvonmotz, I was more talking about the KZfaq & PIO team.

Yes, that is correct. Old Red 1 (Oshkosh T-2500) is being sold.

I was about to say that, almost sounded like Obama or something 😂😂😂

Local25 Fire Videography it was a joke

Local25 Fire Videography no one is making fun of him, he just pointed it out cause he noticed it, just like u

@Local25 Fire Videography Its obvious he doesn't want to be in front of the camera-- joke was just to how many Uhmmms broke up his flow of getting the message out. He does a good job, just needs some practice. We all get it, no one except the real goofy FF's want to be the PIO or in front of the camera. two thoughts to the word Character... Character is what you do when no one is watching or...character is what you act like when you think everyone is watching. BE SAFE!

SAME! Hopefully after my time in the Air Force

Gabe Meyer Thank you for your service man, my brothers in the Air Force too

Same

Gabe Meyer yo stay stage thanks for all the help man

*safe

@xheralt Thank you.

Just not the whole tank

I was thinking that too! My grass is looking quite dead here!

The airport they provide primary coverage for is a small municipal airport(which also happens to be like 2 doors down from station 35). I imagine that these units dont get dispatched very often, and alert 3's are probably extremely rare. Its most likely a cost saving measure for the city/airport rather then pay a dedicated team to stand around 99.99% of the time. Its also another tool in their arsenal that they have the ability to use for less then intended purposes(brush fires, highway fuel spills, etc)

Centennial Airport is not required by the FAA to provide a minimum level of ARFF service and South Metro would have to respond to the airport regardless as it is within their jurisdiction, so it is ultimately in SMFR's interest to operate several ARFF trucks so that they can respond with the appropriate tools. I believe the airport has historically argued that it would be a significant cost for them, but there are a number of smaller and less busy airports in Colorado have and staff their own ARFF truck to provide immediate response to augment the response of the responsible fire department.

Spitfire8520 many thanks for that. Just looking how busy the airport is and the number of aircraft movements it intrigued me

Christian!!! Congrats

Congrats Connor!!

The next A Day in the Life will cover a Safety Officer. They have similar equipment as a Battalion Chief, but their purpose on a scene is to observe the scene and minimize the risk to personnel as much as possible while also acting as another set of eyes and ears for the person in command. They are usually positioned somewhere to watch an area that command cannot see and will announce potential hazards on the scene; for example power lines being nearby that can cause issues, material falling from the building that can cause injury, advising command that their instructions to a unit might put them in danger, etc.

Yes there fleet services department. They should seriously do a fleet Friday on there fleet maintenance facility.

They did a previous video at the Fleet Maintenance facility, I believe it was the first “Fleet Friday” video.

@Stealth Studios. ​But my point is if there's a shout going on in the airport reigon and Station 35 and Station 44 are in the intial response and then there was an aircraft incident, the lose of life would be massive waiting for a new company to staff the Reds. Maybe ARFF should just be privatised or SMFR ditches their cross-staffing policy

@@owenreuby Other engines also have people trained for ARFF so they can take the red engine.

@@torontofirebuff8004 But what if station 35/44 are out? Realisticaly it would take 6 minutes+ for another comapny to staff a one of the Reds and then another 5 to reach the Airport that's incredibly dangerous in an ARFF scenario ultimately resulting in fatalities. And if we're working with a large structure alight it will take a long time for the next company to arrive at the staging station.

@@owenreuby Right! From what i have in Toronto Fire, the try to keep 1 crew available at all times and other crews can also serve as a pump in ARFF scenarios

@@torontofirebuff8004 The whole cross staffing thing to me is mental. I think I prefer the UK system where it's the Airport that has its own fire service rather than the local fire service having ARFF capabilities .

They have a few weeks ago.

And airport firefighter

Don’t they have a foam and a large area ventilation fan unit as well?

@@erinplocinski7590 yes they do have a fan not sure about a foam unit.

@@erinplocinski7590 Both are towed trailer units with simple specialties so it might be difficult to make a feature length video about them individually, but maybe South Metro will have some interesting facts and stories about them. Perhaps they could do a Fleet Friday of all their specialty trailer units. The foam trailer, which I believe is currently designated as Foam 46 and kept at Station 46, is a utility trailer that carries two large tanks of Class B (I think) foam that can be used to supply any of the engines. Fan 3 is a large Super Vac BFF fan that is powered by its own engine that can be used to ventilate large buildings.

Spitfire8520 ah, thank you for telling me they are trailer units. I thought that they were both vehicles.

The road sign wasn’t glitching. The refresh rate of the camera that they were using made the sign look all funky because LED lights like the one on that sign don’t show up properly on the camera thanks to the refresh rate.

Runaway Train Productions oh ok

I believe red 3 is the one you are talking about

I think that one was red 1

Sounds like they will if they absolutely have to but first they would have to take the tape off the switches.

An older iteration of Red 3 (a much smaller 2008 Unimog / BME) was used on brush fires, but currently it is not used on brush fires. ARFF apparatus are really great for quickly putting a large volume of water/extinguishing agent on a fire, but that is less useful in wildland applications as they are normally in areas with limited water access. It does not take that much water to extinguish a brush fire, so it is better to use Type 3 (brush engine) and Type 6 (brush truck) engines to strategically use water to contain the fire.

Great questions! Dry Chem is basically the powder in most wall mounted fire extinguishers you see in businesses. The material is used to smother flames. Purple-K, also known as PKP, is a trademarked name for potassium bicarbonate, is also a dry chemical extinguishing material but it's designed specifically for flammable liquid fires like aviation fuel. Halon is used to deprive fire of oxygen, it's a cloud of vapor and usually used for fires involving electricity when water would be too dangerous.

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO oh gotchas! That makes a ton of sense. Thank you guys so much for the info!

@@brandonfletcher2842 thanks a lot brother . Thankyou thank you thank you

Can I enter my whatsapp no. Here ?

I think that Station 34 that borders this station to the northwest is their largest station.

fire extinguishing powder

Centennial Airport is not a Part 139 airport, so the FAA does not require ARFF to be present or available to respond to the airport in order for them to continue operations. Station 35 is South Metro's other station that houses Red 1 and Red 2 on the airport's north side. In case of an airport call, the hope is that one of the stations will be in service to be able to respond to the call. If they are not available, then the response is typically filled with engines from the rest of the South Metro stations and hopefully they will be able to free up the dedicated ARFF crews to respond.

SDawg Wals send them a email then they will
