This chauffeur seems like he really knows his apparatus. Many Driver/Engineers that I've worked with unfortunately don't know their vehicle as this guy does. Round of applause for you.
Nice specs on the new rig! I volunteer in Stamford, CT and we just got a new tanker. I like the idea of the stortz connection valve. We usually don’t close our hydrants during operation at the fill site. We have a hydrant feed the engine, piece of five inch from the hydrant to the fill engine, and then 3.5” to a gated y and two lengths of 3”
Very interesting to see your stuff with my firefighting experience here from germany. and i finally see some storz-couplings in the US. haven't seen them on some similar engines in vancouver years ago. in germany we use 5 sizes of these storz couplings. but the dimensions and the way you size all your vehicles and equipment it's just way bigger. anyway nice to see your fleet friday videos to get an overview on something different than these "standard engines" you see on television.
I don't know if you have done this yet but as someone with no firefighting experience is it possible to do a video on the tools used and explain what they are for and how they work? For example showing how a haligan works, how the jaws work, etc all in one or two videos
OH MY GOSH I never would’ve thought I would’ve ever seen this truck again I work for Pierce manufacturing I’m a welder there Myself and a coworker build the dry sides the very one that you’re showing that deal on the back of your truck on the passenger side through us off I would absolutely love to know how that thing works
I never thought I would ever say this, but that is one cool tanker! Tanker operations is an art form in itself and it looks like you guys will do well with T39. Where I come from, we would usually put tanker ops on a separate frequency (talk group) as to not interfere on fire ground ops. Do you do that? We often would put "FC to Control" on a separate talk group just as long as the controller could monitor more than one at a time. Thank you for sharing. I love looking and seeing how others do business.
It may have already been considered, however I can suggest getting a hand held Gimbal for the cameras to decrease the shake. It's not as evident when in large open areas with distant reference objects, however in close up shots such as the Interior shots or close in on the Compartment shots, the camera shake is quite noticeable. Gimbals are small, and relatively cheap depending on the Cameras y'all use, leading to a more stable, visually pleasing footage for viewers and reviewers of footage in a professional setting- small details such as LED lights, or distant objects aren't moving around as much. Much easier to denote those small details at night as well, when Noise can be a factor to consider. Cheers from Alberta!
That looks like a massive apparatus with an even more massive engine. Does X-15 mean it flies? Back-up camera will be very useful too. Tender 39 really is a beautiful look machine. That rack for the pool is a great idea and someone was thinking when mounting it too so the water will drain out when stored. I assume it has baffles panels in the tank? I did watch where a Tender from Parker Rolled sometime back with some serious injuries. Well, I guess when you have to go, you have to go like on steroids. Great review of this awesome apparatus Tender 39.
Nice rig but nothing special. What *_is_* special, however, is that SMFR is the first, probably only department in the nation to receive an ISO Class 1 rating for their entire district, including hauled water/non-hydrant areas. That's truly an impressive accomplishment. Come on, SMFR--toot your horn a little bit!
What is the size of the tenders water tank ?. I know you said the drop tank would hold all of the main tank and what was the total cost of the tender? Thanks
hey south metro i had a question but i don't know if you can answer this or get this question often but say you are on a structure fire and the tornado sirens go off what would you do?
Six--34 (Lone Tree), 39 (Castle Pines), 40 (Louviers), 41 (Parker), 45 (Stonegate) and 46 (Stroh Ranch)--or seven, if you count Engine 40, which is a Pierce Velocity pumper/tanker with a 1500g tank.

No, that was Aurora, but I don't see now that's in any way relevant to a new apparatus reveal unless you simply can't help yourself whenever spot an opportunity to display your woke credentials.

Smart, knowledgeable, and quite handsome as well 😉
I thought the exact same thing, he really knows his stuff. I bet he could go more in depth if allowed for a video.
Great , professional demonstration of the equipment. You guys run a top notch operation.

Let’s go!! New safe episode. Merry Christmas to all at SMFR.

As a german firefighter i live it to see the „Storz“ on your truck. 😍
Seen this beauty responding the other day and was wondering where it came from! Awesome addition!

Also you guys have the best fire vids on CZcams!!!! 😊
Wow what a magnificent tender just awesome im glad you have it,take care all the best to you all!

Wish more stations did this. But great video as always, greetings from Sacramento!

This is so much nicer than the tanker my department has ever had!!
Gorgeous Tanker.
Good job on picking the Cummins over the Paccar

Could you include an emergency lighting / siren demo as part of your fleet Friday showcasing the different siren tones etc?

Very sharp truck
Has south metro ever had the idea for a truck company to be a tiller or tractor draw areal.
Awesome truck
We have a 3000 gal tanker at our fire dept it's a 389 Pete. Abbeville county sta 1
Enjoy your new rig

Good info 👍
What’s the difference between tender 39 and 34, as 34 was already a fleet Friday?
They are doing it on this one because its a new rig which they got recently so it probably has some changes and modifications from Tender 34
That’s a Kenworth T880 the other one was a KW T800
Can we get other pio vehicles you all have
What is the size of the tenders water tank ?. I know you said the drop tank would hold all of the main tank and what was the total cost of the tender? Thanks
What is the song you guys use in the beginning
What is the outro song?
can you do fleet friday arm 37?
Fantastic equipment. My guess is close to one million dollars for a tender like that.
Hey, can someone explain why the driver side door has a blue stripe/trip while the rest of the trucks have a black trim/stripe?
The blue stripe is on the doors to show support for law enforcement
No manual gate capabilities?
Beautiful K-DUB @SMFR
Where can I get that jacket? 😎

South Metro Fire-Rescue, in the Denver, CO metro area.
Will you be doing a 2021 year in review?
When will that vlog go up?
Is this an additional tender to the fleet or a replacement tender ?
A replacement tender for the old Tender 39
chicken tenders
How many tenders do you have?
Six--34 (Lone Tree), 39 (Castle Pines), 40 (Louviers), 41 (Parker), 45 (Stonegate) and 46 (Stroh Ranch)--or seven, if you count Engine 40, which is a Pierce Velocity pumper/tanker with a 1500g tank.
Tanker 😉
Those are in the sky.
How many tenders does S Met have?
