  • On this PIO Vlog we follow South Metro Firefighters to a water rescue at Chatfield State Park in Jefferson County, Colorado. After 90 minutes spent searching for a drowning victim, a thunderstorm created dangerous outflow winds that capsized a rescue boat, sending 4 personnel into the water. The rescuers had to be rescued and once the storm passed, recovery operations began. We also take you to a wildland interface fire in Douglas County where nearly 5-acres burned. Connor and Eric conclude the Vlog with patch shoutouts.

    Well done! So glad every rescuer made it back home at Chatfield. I responded to many calls there when West Metro had the contract. It’s a great park but you video reminds me of how brutal the lake becomes in seconds. I always don a life vest and you showed why well. Divers and rescuers train for that and that lake takes what it wants without warning. Crews did well. Brutal. Eric you’re the best PIO ever in the US Fire service! Really built a great system and added strength to SMFR! Congrats Connor on wedding bells and super well said commentary!

    For an english native (and the struggle y'all have with the german R ;)) Conor pronounced the german town name rather well.
    Eric meanwhile butchered the name horribly :D But to be fair, the TH is bound to throw off english natives. Just imagine the H not being there and you'll get closer.

    @michaelwelcher4918 Před 4 lety

    Do you guys use BLM or DNR as part of the initial response and mop up operations?

    • @Spitfire8520
      @Spitfire8520 Před 4 lety +1

      None of the land that is within South Metro's jurisdiction is federal land, so BLM is not typically on an initial response. BLM may respond if the incident goes into extended attack and there becomes an extended attack with interagency resource requests. Colorado DNR is no longer responsible for fire suppression activities, those responsibly are now part of the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control (DFPC) within the Department of Public Safety. They are also not requested for initial attack, but would likely be requested to assist before the BLM were on an extended attack incident.
      One of the agencies that South Metro assists regularly to the west does cover a lot of USFS land, so BLM can occasionally make an appearance on those fires on the USFS's request.
      As for mop up operations, if those resources are on scene, then they might be used for mop up operations . Most of the wildland fires in South Metro are grass and brush, so a majority of incidents do not make it past the first day and are therefore mopped up by the local crews. If an incident did get big enough to bring in state and interagency resources, then there isn't any reason not to use them for mop up other than trying to not inconvenience them as much as possible and allow them to return home as soon as possible as they are usually based far away in the mountains of Colorado.

    • @Spitfire8520
      @Spitfire8520 Před 3 lety +1

      Castle Rock Fire Department Medic 154. Castle Rock is one of the departments to South Metro's immediate south side and will provide automatic aid if South Metro needs units to respond. In return, South Metro also provide automatic aid to Castle Rock should they need the units. There is a roughly one mile stretch of I-25 where South Metro and Castle Rock units will often respond into each other's jurisdiction depending on the direction of travel.
