Hey looks who is back good to have you back and really enjoyed the video, it awesome to see what the USA does with there fire service, watching from down under Australia
Welcome back Connor. In Canada it’s federally mandated that maternity leave can be taken for up to one year (52 weeks) by one parent with no loss of job or the mat leave can be split between parents (ie. 6 months can go to mom and 6 months can be used by dad) Glad to see you two back together as you work well together and make the videos entertaining
I think it’s amazing how you guys continue to produce such great quiet videos. You bring us into your family and make us feel like part of the group. Thanks for making such high quality work.
Great to see you back Connor! Your baby is absolutely beautiful!! So glad that you and your husband had such great time off to bond with your baby! What a blessing!! Much love to you both! Kristin from Oklahoma 💗💗💗
I understand that 3 month of maternity/parental leave is considered _long_ in the US, so I'm happy you did get this much. As a european, I can't help but also feel a bit sorry for you and your baby as in my country the mother gets a flat 14 weeks - and then on top of it either parent can go another 52 weeks on 67% of previous pay and 104 *more* weeks unpaid (but with legal protection against being fired). I'm sure you'll make do anyway with such a strong brother- and sisterhood as SMFR seems to be, though. Stay safe out there - and please don't feel pressured by people to show off your kid on the internet. I know those comments will come, but ultimately it's not our (as in "the viewers") kid, is it? ;) All the best to all of you, my firefighting family :)
That is a very generous amount of time off, and impressive. In the states it depends on the company you work for, some are pretty generous with maternity/parental leave, others do the minimum. I have a friend who works for a major tech company, and he got more time off then his wife who works else where.
1 welcome back Connor! 2. Just a thought but has anyone suggested a day in the life of a station as a whole? I don’t know how that would work but that seems interesting. And maybe day in the life of yalls training division. Cheers from Texas
Good to see you back Connor. Could you do a fleet Friday on one of the reserve towers and your reserve ladder truck? It would be interesting to see the differences between the older and newer ones.
Overjoyed to see you both back!!! So happy for you Connor glad you and the newest member of your family is doing well:) im sure you guys are very busy but I hope you start posting videos more often again....so I have a theory I figure the more ride alongs that get recorded the more calls you'll see and the more exposure we'll get...so my suggestion....more ride alongs in general, "Full Shift Mondays" or something😂😂😂 where every week or month you do a shift with a different Engine or Aerial company....im sure thats a tall order but hey just a suggestion....the ride alongs are great!!!!
Just Ordered 2 Patches. One to keep and one to give to my local Fire Station. You guys are Awesome keep it up and stay Safe! From Across the Pond in the UK
Welcome back Conner,a congratulations to you and your husband. And it's great to see you both back in the office again. Love the videos you but out, can't wait for new ones.
Love the challenge coin from US Navy training command in Great Lakes, IL!!! I have one of those as well thanks to my oldest son who graduated recruit training command Sept 2016.
I love the way things have changed for employees. We have maternity leave and parental leave for the men. The men get a month 100% paid. The females I'm not sure about.
Search here for the Haunted House fire at Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ. Several teens perished in that fire. Started when one individual used a lighter to try to find his way. Tragic outcome
YEAH!!Glad to see you back. Eric, you've done a great job while your co- hort has been out.Please be safe, as all the personnel, and see y'all on the next video.
Congratulations on your beautiful son, Connor. Awesome footage of the haunted house fire. It's a shame that someone did this, and took the fun away for so many. I hope the catch the people that did that. Have a great weekend 😀.
Is there anyway of setting up a live streaming webcam on one of the busier stations or a station with the specialist apparatus aiming towards the bay doors from the outside so then people can watch them responding and returning
Your maternity leave in the USA sounds very good. In the Netherlands you can get 16 weeks off as a woman and 6 weeks as a male. And the paternity leave has only been passed by parliament in 2019, before that companies weren't obliged to arrange paid paternity leave.
Would be a pretty boring fleet Friday. Crews transfer equipment from the down frontline apparatus to the reserve. So a fleet Friday on a reserve apparatus would be opening a bunch of doors and finding empty lockers, since the reserve typically doesn’t carry much equipment.
Welcome back Connor 👏👏🎉🎉. Congrats to you and your Hubby on the birth of your son 🎉🎉😎. Hi Eric, WOW that fire looked huge and like it was seriously spreading... Happy to hear about new videos coming up 👏👏😎. Just last month, my local city Fire Dept celebrated their 100th Anniversary 😀😀 it was a very 😎 all day event starting with a short parade then moved over to a property to have a celebratory show with all the Apparatus old, new, in use, and privately owned ***
Connor is back! Yeay! Just out of curiosity are you actually firefighters and become a PIO (like where I live) or are you actually directly hired as a PIO without FF training?
welcome back Connor i missed you , Eric did a great job , i'm glad that little bray is doing well :0)

Welcome back Connor!
Good on South Metro for giving so much time off.
Welcome back Conner
I know I'm 2 years late but Junaluska has some great guys on it and I love it when I get to work with them.
Welcome back C. square . I hope this means that the updates will be back to at least twice a month.
They did recently and thank god Connor is back
Wow. All city administrators should watch this to show how nice an adequately funded fire department really is.
She's back!!!
I love the way things have changed for employees. We have maternity leave and parental leave for the men. The men get a month 100% paid. The females I'm not sure about.
I would love a catch up of the probies from the south metro unscripted episode and what they are doing/where they are now
Welcome back Connor.
Congratulations Conner
Welcome back Connor
Could you do a VLOG on your youth programs? it'd be great to see the more "Hidden" side of the Service!

Great video, welcome back Connor! 🚒👍
Do you plan on doing a fleet Friday on ARM 37 soon?
Welcome back Connor I missed you Kim and Eric did a good job while your away

Are you planning to do a feature or Fleet Friday on the ARM car? That's a pretty neat thing that, up until recently, I had no idea existed.
Congratulations on your beautiful son, Connor. Awesome footage of the haunted house fire. It's a shame that someone did this, and took the fun away for so many. I hope the catch the people that did that. Have a great weekend 😀.

Your maternity leave in the USA sounds very good. In the Netherlands you can get 16 weeks off as a woman and 6 weeks as a male. And the paternity leave has only been passed by parliament in 2019, before that companies weren't obliged to arrange paid paternity leave.
Is there a sound effect of the station alarm tone at the beginning of the intro and at the end?
@South Metro Fire Rescue can you do a Fleet Friday on a reserve apparatus
love this idea! Reserves don't tend to get enough attention.
Would be a pretty boring fleet Friday. Crews transfer equipment from the down frontline apparatus to the reserve. So a fleet Friday on a reserve apparatus would be opening a bunch of doors and finding empty lockers, since the reserve typically doesn’t carry much equipment.
Is SFMR going to be put on any of the wildfires in Colorado
