@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO What dispatch software is that?

@@MrBrandon105123 They probably won't say first thing. and second if they did you can't access there Cad system they have a private system.

@@RandomVideoEditors They very much can say what dispatch software they use. And I have zero interest in trying to access their* (grammar) CAD. My agency is looking at switching.

Congrats! Good luck on that!

Congrats bro!! I wish you luck!

Congrats wish you good luck

Wow that’s amazing

as far as i know, the colorado governor said it was a "new years miracle" and that nobody was hurt

@@freakyfrederick HAARP....

First

Eric is actually filming that video right now, as the district is getting some snow, and roads are very slick.

Oooohhh. I like that idea. See their IT/Tech/Logistics section. I'm still personally waiting for the official DIL of Fleet Services

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO cool thank you

MCI stands for mass casualty incident, or an incident with a large amount of injuries. MCIs are declared to automatically bring in many resources to treat alot of people. The particular incident was a gas leak and home explosion in Littleton that led to 6 people hospitalized.

@@unfunnyfurryrailfan Thanks for clarifying. Hope those 6 people are doing okay.

absolutely

The particular threshold for an MCI is different from place to place, but usually there are pre-constructed plans for MCI incidents (as in: how many units will attend, what additional ressources will be acivated to keep up with the "regular" need within the district, which - if any - volunteer orgs will provide what help - but also who takes command, who does triage, who manages allocation of ressources, how are hospitals made aware, how does distribution of patients work, etc.). MCI are among the most command intensive incidents overall, so everything that can be pre-planned usually is. That's why the simple announcement of, say, _MCI level 2_ sets a dozen things in motion.

I don't know what the vehicle was, but I do know it was South Metro personnel, and they passed along Zulu command to them. So they gave that vehicle a second Ops channel to basically run the scene and resources that was on the opposite side that the Battalion Chief was on

I believe it was Special Ops 10 who is the District Chief for Ops Bureau who would serve as in certain cases as Division leader, operations commander and more of the leading/supervising duties

Actually disregard my last it is actually OPS 1 who is the Assistant chief of Emergency Services Division and will be a command unit and supervising unit

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Thanks :) Great video

I'm wondering the same thing. Do you know?

@@ErieValleyFan Pedal to the metal

Yes Eric is still riding with DC1 from what I understand

@@centralcofirebuff7830 so Eric went to the fire for a little bit

@@pokemonboy148 yep

Thanks for asking! You can mail a patch to SMFR PIO Office, 9195 E. Mineral Ave. Centennial, CO 80112

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO awesome thank you!!

I think they are still trained firefighters/EMTs even firefighters learn basic life saving measures

@@billybob2329 I kind of figured that but I wasn't sure if they would respond if they're in the area or not or how that works

No pun intended?

@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Nice to know to be honest not seen many of your videos, however i am subscribed, it's just it's got to be around 95% of fire fighting vids i have seen from the US they always run the hoses out and connect to hydrants before starting to fight fires, so i assumed most US trucks don't carry water.

@@C.CUMM1NGS All fire engines in the US have a water tank with a minimum of 300 gallons (1136 liters) of water based on standards set by the National Fire Protection Association, but that is not obvious when looking at the trucks from the outside. Hose reels are not as common on US fire engines meant for structure fires, but almost all engines have a length of hose with a nozzle that is preconnected (often called a "preconnect") to the outlet of a fire pump that will allow them to immediately put water on the fire as soon as the hose is unloaded and the pump is primed. Hose reels are much more common on wildland engines where it is more important to be able to quickly unload and load hose with a fast moving fire. The videos you are seeing might not be a complete picture either, especially if they are on the other side of street from the fire. It only takes one to two firefighters to operate a hose line, so the rest of the crew is free to do other things like setup a connection to the hydrant before the water in the tank runs out. There is actually a great example of this in this video at 11:43 where you can see a firefighter on the far left using a hose reel and the onboard water tank to put water on the fire while the other three firefighters unload additional equipment.

@@Spitfire8520 Not what i have seen in loads of videos, i've seen the fire engines pull up and start unloading hoses searching for hydrants hooking it all up and everything before any water is put on a fire, Hell i even compared 2 videos once one British one American i compared from the time the engine pulled up on a burning car, both cars about the same size and both fires about the same size, the British crew had water on the fire within about 5 seconds and the fire completely out before the American crew even had water on the fire, all the British firefighter had to do was open his door jump out slide up the shutter grab the hose on the reel go to the car and press the trigger, But the Americans were unloading hoses connecting them looking for hydrants connecting hoses again turning on pumps and everything before they could start fighting the fire. I've seen similar things in loads of videos where it is several minutes after American firefighters arrive before any water is put on the fire.

No it hasnt there hasnt been too heavy snow in the district and no calls in areas that would be hard to reach with these conditions
