Awesome job SMFR PIO! This is great as I am a volunteer in Australia and it shows me different ways that we could adapt and how we can be more efficient! Awesome job!
Scott, with all of your years and experience in Vegas and then 5 years there in Colorado proving yourself, you should get that LT title! Good luck! So proud of you!
What equipment do you use to make these videos? How many/what kind of cameras do you use? What editing software do you use? Thank you in advance, I’m hoping to create an informative series like this in the near future.
I did 6 years as a crew chief for 11-alpha VFD, I met the Battalion commander of main fire company on my Island while i was getting my high school diploma... the day we met he told me i want you to be my crew chief for company 11-a... i laughed in his face told em nah ... i never knew it then ... but who knew that druggie rough ass street kid would find his calling ... running in bunker gear and scba rack as soon as that beeper went off ~ my "yellow bunker gear" lol was charcoal black from all the calls we got in the first year ... we had a killer crew (everybody in the group had skills) well i grew to love the job ... i went on to fly SAR-OPS for USAF, made 2nd LT in 6 months ...hahahaa what a crazy life!
Good work. Interesting description of how 1st, 2nd due, etc, position their apparatus and for what reason. Things that are not obvious to the non ff viewer. Thanks!
I had an MVA near my house while ago where a car sideswiped a pick up truck and flipped on its roof and it required one chief three engines and one ambulance and it’s a live on a really calm road
@@johnhalsey1110 were you dropped on your head as a child? It is a question, ascertaining the difference in operational promotion between international services. *sigh*
NightOwlzzz it’s pretty loud in the cab. You can talk about what you’re going into and get a good game plan and not have to yell at each other or say huh a hundred times
A townhouse exploded near that station back in the very late 1980's. Natural gas. 2 fatalities. I used to skateboard down the hill in front of the station. Drycreek speed record. 27 mph. I felt ok doing it because a station was right there. Old school. GO YANKEES!
To think you have the experience to be in charge with only 5 years on the job is insane. I work for one of the top 10 largest fire departments and You are barely a 1st class firefighter at 5 years on the job. Our most junior lieutenant would have 17 years on the job@@LiamPattisonPhotography
@@curtispuckrin3074 Every department does things differently. Just because your department does things a certain way doesn't mean everybody else is wrong. Depending on call volume, types of calls, and overall training, you might learn a hell of a lot in a 5 year span.
You are right in the fact that there are numerous factors involved. Bottom line firefighting is an experience first profession. South Metro aside, 5 years on the busiest fire truck in the country you still don't have a lot of experience, heck you are still learning the craft of basic firefighting skills. South Metro doesn't have a high run volume and it surely doesn't have a high fire call volume. Even as a black cloud, 5 years on the job there you don't have a lot of experience, however, that's all that department knows. Its the norm for them so that's what they are use to@@LiamPattisonPhotography
@@curtispuckrin3074 What department do you work for? FYI Scott in the video also had 15 years full time experience with Las Vegas Fire and Rescue which runs 120,000 calls a year with 20 stations. Is that busy enough for you?
Keep them coming i love watching this. I have the notification for every time you post a new video just so I don’t miss out on a new video
Absolutely amazing you guys are awesome thank you for what you do.
Awesome job SMFR PIO! This is great as I am a volunteer in Australia and it shows me different ways that we could adapt and how we can be more efficient! Awesome job!
We need more of these!
I found this incredibly interesting. What a great video, I am loving some of this channel's content including the new vlogs.

Episode 18: what do we see in the intro? You guessed it, Tower 18! Not sure if this was done on purpose or not.

Excellent video, guys!

Good work. Interesting description of how 1st, 2nd due, etc, position their apparatus and for what reason. Things that are not obvious to the non ff viewer. Thanks!
8:25 is that what I think it was? Listen closely

Hey Curtis, if you're so jealous, come on over to South Metro, a Real Class 1 Fire Dept. !!
Jim Wattenburger jesus there response time so damn slow.
Very cool video

Theres this game called roblox and I found a SMFR server on it and it had this exact station
Is 5 years standard for FF to look at promoting to LT? In Australia 10 years on is usually the mark where someone looks to become an officer.
Do you want a medal or something?

5 years on the job and you are eligible for even starting the promotional process is a joke!
