  • This Fleet Friday is one of our most detailed! It features Ladder 12, known as "The Black Pearl" which is housed at Firehouse 12 at 6529 S. Broadway in Littleton. The Firehouse 12 motto is the "Pirates of Broadway," their theme is included on the apparatus and their equipment.
    During 2020 Ladder 12 responded to 2,259 total incidents making it the busiest aerial apparatus at South Metro. 42 of those incidents were dispatched as structure fires.
    Ladder 12 is a 2015 Pierce Velocity and the only non-platform aerial or "Tower" apparatus at South Metro Fire Rescue.

    wonderful. my father said his smoke alarm kept beeping, but he had a stroke and couldn't use his ladder. unit came out, they completely replace both of Daddy's smoke alarms for free. "we'd rather you call for a simple thing like this, than recover you out of smoldering ruins." why they are everyday heros.

    This is really a thorough review of everything on the Ladder truck. I mean really well done. After viewing all of this one can see that this Ladder Truck is ready for just about anything. This might have been a long video, but Justin made it go by very quickly and is worthwhile to watch it over again. Thanks for doing an excellent job of explaining how things function on this outstanding looking rig. Great video content. I know a young mom who lives in the Springs who is interested in becoming a fire fighter and will be encouraging her to check out all your videos.

    I would love to see a series showing uncut, unedited calls (fire, vehicle accidents, etc.) from start to finish. Starting at the station from the moment the call comes in, seeing how fast they are out the door, how long it takes to get there and finish the job, and just overall get a better sense of what a call is like from start to finish.

    • @connorkogler9032

    • @kenturner2349
      @kenturner2349 Před 3 lety +4

      You can’t have uncut or unedited videos of certain calls due to patient privacy concerns, legal reasons and possibly time constraints. Eric and Connor are very good at what they do and that’s probably why you don’t see videos like that.

    Best "Fleet Friday" I have seen yet, and well worth the time. I do not work for or owe anything to Pierce, but they make the best ladder trucks and fire engines; that is just my opinion. I would also have this guy on my crew anytime, he is extremely knowledgeable. I bet he would be a fine paramedic and I am confident he is a fine firefighter. I would want a fellow fire fighter like him working with me. Sharp as a tack. Stay safe out there and take care.

    Do your engines carry standpipes (not right name I don’t think but don’t know what it’s called) but a pipe that can connect to a hydrant where you can then connect many hoses to them? Lastly do they carry Y’s or C’s (where you can spelt hoses off another hose to make it longer if needed? Also do your engines have reel lines (I assume not) and pre-connects (I assume yes)?

    It may not be a bad idea but as far as your paramedics goes . Bulstic vests may not be idea even on the calls . Once on the call and away from your rig and things go bad . It is all ready to late to go back for your best plus . Your ambulance crews are more likely to run into violence than a fire crews . 🚑🚑🚑🚑🚑

    • @centralcofirebuff7830
      @centralcofirebuff7830 Před 3 lety +1

      The reason was because Ladder 12 was purchased by Littleton Fire Rescue along with Tower 18 to diversify their fleet while South Metro Fire had all towers before the merger between the two agencies so they kept the ladder.

    I just don't get it, why do US ladder trucks carry more extrication equipment then engines?
    Like: "there is a car wreck that caused a traffic jam, responding with the largest, unwieldiest vehicle, that carries little to no water, and carries a specialized complex mechanism, that has no use on 80% of car accidents (the ladder) totally makes sense..."
