I also just wanted to say that the south metro fire rescue has very interesting equipment and crew and a lot of experience also. I used to be a firefighter for fla my best goes out to our fellow brothers and sisters that put their lives on duty to save us .god bless to all of them.
Very nice. Got the privilege of a ride in my local airport's rig. Compared with the complexity of most foam systems on structural engines, I was impressed with the easy of use on the ARFF!
@@FrootLoops-lo1rl I have never heard the word or term "Tarmac" used over an ATC frequency, ever. It's either a runway, a taxiway, a service road, or a "Ramp!"
4:15 🚨 *FYI....WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE HURST BATTERY OPERATED "COMBI"* (I believe that's what he called it) tool aka jaws of life, that tool can spread & also cut. Most know how it spreads using its yaws but when it closes it can cut like the standard cutting tool. If you look at the inside of the jaws, you can see it tapered down like scissors. Thought I would share that info w/all. 🚒
That's the big problem with this one to much jargon and not enough explanation. I know you have the jaws of life but are the snips you use to cut the pillars on the room a different device. I thought the jaws of life needed a generator for hydraulic or pneumatic systems.
@@drmayeda1930 these are the 21st century versions of the jaws life, same tool, but battery powered hydraulics with in the tool, like any cordless power tool, except about 10k. Some FDs still order and run the hydraulic ones due to the fact that they are lighter, but the battery powered ones are equally or more powerful, waterProof, more portable, far quicker to get into operation, and take up less space. Instead of having a hyraic generator and hoses, they now have a battery and charger, and a corded backup (which is basically only for training as the tools have good run time). That means that a firefighter can grab the tool and put it in operation immediately, without having to setup the generator, start it, and connect the hoses, and switch the hoses between tools.
my friend works in FD and told me if you stationed at the airport, your daily job is to pull a chair out and count how many planes fly by and guessing where they are heading.
Red 3 from Station 44 is due to respond to all ARFF calls alongside Red 1 and Red 2. Engine 44 was also designed as an ARFF engine with a bumper turret, although their appearance at ARFF calls are infrequent these days after South Metro got their current Red 1 in 2015 and Red 3 inherited their 1999 E-One Titan II. In most cases, at least one of the crews will be available to respond to the call or be in a position to respond to their station to pickup their ARFF truck(s). The remainder of the response is filled with other engine companies. In the rare case that both crews are unavailable, the initial response will be filled with engine companies while they try to free up the ARFF crews. An Alert 2 at Centennial Airport is typically made up of 3 Reds/Engines, 1 Medic, 1 Chief, and 1 Safety Officer. Ideally the suppression response would be Red 1, Red 2, and Red 3. If Tower 35 is out running a call, then the response might look like Red 3, Engine 31, and Engine 42. If neither crews are available, then it would be Engine 31, Engine 42, and Engine 33.
I would have loved to see a 1970s Oshkosh P15 8x8 Crash Tender running in a fire engine perade, hot rod meets and beach parties. To restore such a massive fire engine would cost well over a million dollars. Every part on an old Oshkosh would cost far more to replace than that on say a Seagrave or leFrance.
Connor, are the crews that are assigned to the Red ARFF units certified in basic & advanced ARFF? If yes, do they revert every year? Every 2 years or every 3 years? I took my ARFF training in the Navy and covered 3 air ports plus ran structure fire & rescue calls.
What type of training do they do? I understand that most "normal" houses will have training, exercises, classes, and of course calls but it doesn't seem that they have a whole lot to train on. It's a pretty simple design. Do guys stay as lifers when they get in?
As driver of Big Red 1, do you have the ability to dwan breathing air if needed, if so is it an on board system or do you have to sacrifice the officer so you can survive the incident and get to safety?
They use the reflective bunker gear (aka proximity gear) in a lot of aircraft fires but I’ve been told a lot of places are moving away from that because it doesn’t make a huge difference in safety or it’s just not super practical
On airport grounds hydrants are pretty far away from the runways. The Alert 2 response for an inbound aircraft with a problem includes all 3 ARFF units which today carry a combined 3,300 gallons of water. If a crash occurs, an Alert 3 response is dispatched which includes 2 Engine companies an additional 1,500 gallons of water. If that volume of water isn't enough, Tenders can be dispatched which each carry 3,000 gallons or a supply line could be laid from the nearest hydrant.
I'm still shocked at the various types of coupling that you use for your delivery hoses. Why can't you guys have a standard system like we have in the UK, also the method we use to connect hoses is much more quicker and requires no tools, hence the name instantaneous couplings. Otherwise nice truck.
Yes, the connection is very unique and requires personnel to climb on top of the apparatus to attach it. The ARFF unit at Station 44 has a similar set up.
When I was on active duty Navy some of our airport fire & crash trucks were lime/yellow while others were red/white. Air Force prefers to use red/white fire & crash trucks.
Great presentation guys on both Red-1 & Red-2. Beware, in California, for demonstrating the high flow water out of the turrets like that, the governor here would fine you $100,000 then Trump would deport you.
Wow airplane brakes can violate the laws of physics concerning the conservation of energy. Brakes heat up from friction forces being applied while in motion, when motion stops so does the friction thus the heating also stops.The heat will transfer energy to any thermally conductive components that are in direct contact and radiate infra red energy to components that are in the line of sight but will not increase overall temperature.

A two for one fleet Friday!! I love it. Keep up the great work
Definitely wanna see a fleet friday with some brush trucks!!
Wow, red 1 throws a lot of smoke! You’d hope that doesn’t get confused on the tarmac by ATC 😂

Pretty impressive... Love Red2 - Never have seen that one. Thanks for this.
One of the type 3 brush trucks, or collapse 45
35 seems like a fun house to work at
my friend works in FD and told me if you stationed at the airport, your daily job is to pull a chair out and count how many planes fly by and guessing where they are heading.
i Huang True but 35 also runs regular calls with Ladder 35, so its a Mixed job
@@ClamChowder_FireBuff69 you are right, it is a regional small airport.
i Huang but they aren’t stationed at the airport
@@ivang97997 seems fun
thank you guys for your service your the best
This is a lot of information on the three Red units 😮😮 Very Cool indeed 😎😁
That truck is amazing!
What is the back plan if the crew is out on a call with the Ladder and engine and not available to take Red 1 and 2 when needed?
There is probally somebody staffed the ARFF rig always.
Maybe closest responders use their apparatus
The st 44 crew will respond to the station and get the rig

My city, there is always 1 person running the crash rig.
Man I love Fleet Friday's
Love it! Stay safe out there.
Great video..thanks for posting
Whats next? Red 3 Or collapse 45?
Colorado Fire Buff how about both
They just did red 3 yesterday: czcams.com/video/eoCNWSzBjVQ/video.html

Here in Indiana we have a Oshkosh Striker 3000 named “The super soaker”
w you guys cover the whole state with 1 crash truck. You guys are awsome.
fun fact, ARFF trucks can also be used on forest fires as well
Guy in the back ground trying to get his 6.0 blow to run lol
He’s gonna pump it all!
Red one is also a Prius deterrent rig
Let’s see the black pearl at 12!!
Aircraft appliances over here are if not all mostly Rosenbaur
Impressive capabilities
nice job Connor
Nice video guys
I want red 3 next
is there a south metro merch line? i would definitely buy some
Jack D'Andrea I think they’re trying to set that up soon.
Uncle Ed not at all
@Uncle Ed Many people like myself just want to show support for them.
What is up
love your vidoes shout out
Damn I love them!!
Dive 3, some of the Wild land Units, water tenders?
Do the firefighters staffing the ARFF rig have their ARFF certifications?
From what I could tell, it was only the officer that had the actual cert.
But the basic knowledge is learned through shared experience pretty quickly
Can't get in through the door? make yer own door!
Both are beautiful, but DAMN is Red 1 hot!
Love it
Yay boy
7:58 Lionel Richie 😂
What the next fleet friday unit and when is the next unscripted coming out
I noticed ports on the side of the crash truck can you hook up to a water supply a pump water also?
Connor, are the crews that are assigned to the Red ARFF units certified in basic & advanced ARFF? If yes, do they revert every year? Every 2 years or every 3 years? I took my ARFF training in the Navy and covered 3 air ports plus ran structure fire & rescue calls.
Sorry, I ment recert!
Is it a 6V92 or 8V92 In 1995 Series 50, 55 and Series 60 Came out
So which airport was it at before it was refurbished
What type of training do they do? I understand that most "normal" houses will have training, exercises, classes, and of course calls but it doesn't seem that they have a whole lot to train on. It's a pretty simple design. Do guys stay as lifers when they get in?
Will you guys do Red 3 at some point?
Ain't nothing wrong with a smoking 8v92 diesel
Show is red 3
As driver of Big Red 1, do you have the ability to dwan breathing air if needed, if so is it an on board system or do you have to sacrifice the officer so you can survive the incident and get to safety?
Does red 1 have a Series 60 Detroit in it?
No, go older
What music did you guys use for the intro on this Fleet Friday video at 0:16?
Watering the grass and the road
35 likes to keep the grass out there wet. I've seen them water it from the tower a few times while passing by.
Interesting that they don't seem to have apparatus at the field. It must be a fairly small airport with general aviation aircraft only.
Wonder if they charge the airport to respond
So the new toy that most fire Departments seem to be getting are the semi tow trucks. Is this something your department is looking at ?
U should do a fleet friday of red 3
Why was the the foam button tapped
Oh, nice surprise at the end! They forgot to introduce their bunker gear. Its different right??
They use the reflective bunker gear (aka proximity gear) in a lot of aircraft fires but I’ve been told a lot of places are moving away from that because it doesn’t make a huge difference in safety or it’s just not super practical
Collapse 45
If someone is interested in more modern airport fire trucks go look up the new Rosenbauer Panther. Really a beast of a machine. 8x8, 1500 hp…
What is your response time from quarters to the tarmac
"The red squad"
So a Rlir is rear looking infra-red camera
Are they also crush rescue
What planes land at centennial airport
Can you please show red 3 or rescue 42
What do you do for a water supply

Brush truck next?
does anybody know the classes for doing this for real i really wanted to do this type of firefighting near me?
Can you do a come on the pumper truck
Can you. Do a dive team fleet Friday
Aaron Dr hoffman fire
Is Nick Grosch still a captain at station 35
Poor Red 3 it has never gotten any love in any of the videos so far :/ LOL

Yes, the connection is very unique and requires personnel to climb on top of the apparatus to attach it. The ARFF unit at Station 44 has a similar set up.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO huh... interesting I would love to see that in use
Why did the foam switch have blue tape covering it?
Probably so they know activating it is very intentional.
@@SouthMetroFireRescuePIO Makes sense! Thanks.
Is the K saw is it k10
Who else hear #Red1
in the back 11:16
When’s the next vlog gonna be?
Are you in colorado
How can I send patches?
Would the police be willing to block the road for you to respond so you don’t have to worry about the lanes of traffic?
Need those at the next Antifa rally!
14:53 just a casual ammo case
Why would you NOT keep ARFF trucks at the airport?
Can you guys do a fleet Friday for red 3
18.14. hello is it me your looking for. I can see it in your eyes. I can see it in your smile.
Vince is a hottie. Nice cake....
oh jesus get a rosenbauer i dont want to crash there
Aren't ARFF trucks supposed to be yellow?
I believe the FAA recommends a "yellow / lime-green" color but it is not required.
When I was on active duty Navy some of our airport fire & crash trucks were lime/yellow while others were red/white. Air Force prefers to use red/white fire & crash trucks.
Why is it assumed a crime scene until it’s finally investigated
?
I'm assuming incase the plane had been tampered with
Great presentation guys on both Red-1 & Red-2. Beware, in California, for demonstrating the high flow water out of the turrets like that, the governor here would fine you $100,000 then Trump would deport you.
What a waste of water at the end.
