Apartment Building Fire - People Still Inside - PIO Vlog

On this Vlog we take viewers inside a burning, smoke-filled apartment building as Firefighters work to extinguish the flames and search for people who are still inside. We also view on-scene video of a second apartment building fire that occurred just an hour later. Both incidents happened during an arctic blast with the coldest windchill values in decades!

    So you are not getting training at your dept.? Sounds like a management issue. That can be very hard to overcome. on Tuesday night everyone is tired from working all day. No one wants to pull a bed to practice because then you have to relay it. That falls on to the officers to give training. Hopefully, everyone knows the basics. Try to plug into fire training seminars. My son goes to them I will ask him who puts them on. In the 1980's we went to fall fire school in Monroe Wisconsin. FF classes, Hazmat & cut-up cars ERT.

    You know it is cold when a firefighter asks for hot chocolate/coffee after working a structure fire. Good video, very educational for those who are firefighters. Seeing the first fire, the two firefighters making entry on how quickly, but safely they moved to make an interior search on one room, and then quickly moved to gain access in the rear of the complex was a very well and quick coordinated task.

In this way, you're literally creating the opportunity to "see over the shoulders" of a dept that is leading the way in best practices that will help to up-skill other firefighters from across the world 🌎 Love the way you're thinking about knowledge at scale! and those animated text call-outs!! 🙌

    Was the one at 3-7 minutes in an oil burner transformer failure? Back in the mid-2010s, I experienced such a problem, where there was soot on my fan air filter in my bedroom! I lived on the floor above the basement and the boiler was in the basement. Honestly think that I didn't see as much smoke, because the landlord was venting it out. It was a 2006 furnace, too! Not even 10 years old! It wasn't burning completely at all, that's why a ton of smoke! The first symptoms of the faulty oil burner transformer, was that the oil burner randomly failed to start, IIRC.

Nice to see many firefighters chomping at the bit wanting to expose the fire on that second call. That is a lot of support staff on scene to assist residents, awesome job. That is great to have new apparatus coming to SMFR to further improve your firefighting abilities for various types of fires. Definitely have Subscribed and have been encouraging others to watch especially future firefighters.

Additionally, Station 15 will close for reconstruction this year and when that occurs, Engine 15 will relocate to Station 37 for the duration of the project.

    I believe whoever the new PIO 11 is, has the explorer. I might be wrong but I think Connor has a different car for the division she is assigned too.

    ARM37 remains at STA37, when STA15 closes for rebuild E15 will move to STA37, M15 will go to STA14, BR14 will move to STA37, MED2 will go into service soon at STA37 also.

    That's a great question that few people in public safety regularly talk about! Often times emergency responders have to hold it as long as they can. During major incidents large mobile command posts like RV's respond to the scene and have a bathroom inside, or portable toilets are brought in. Sometimes personnel have to ask neighbors or business owners and use a nearby bathroom. If those options aren't available our Medic units have emesis bags and wipes/tissues and the inside of an ambulance provides some privacy.

    This is why you need reliable home heating in cold climates. When wind and solar go down at night, what takes over to keep this from happening? Often its the much loathed fossil fuels, and often it's Coal.

    South Metro provides all hazard response to mitigate emergencies and property conservation is one of the priorities. Some water flows are received as fire alarms and others are direct 911 calls. Either way, crews will respond and turn the water off to stop damage from getting worse. If there's time to help with some emergency water removal the firefighters may assist with it, but they're usually available for higher priority emergencies that get dispatched.

    This is the only department I’ve ever seen where the incident commander sits inside a vehicle while everybody else is out there doing all the work kind of doesn’t make any sense to me. I’m sure there’s an explanation on why this is but it makes no sense you go anywhere else in the country and you’ll see the incident commander standing outside their vehicle or near the front entrance of the structure

    South Metro began this command mode around 2015 when the organization adopted Blue Card as our preferred command and communications system. It's based off of the Phoenix model where incident commanders have been working from inside their SUV/truck for decades. The advantages SMFR has seen include less missed radio traffic thanks to headsets and an ambient noise free environment, better personnel accountability with a board that hangs on the steering wheel, climate control during hostile weather events (especially helpful in blizzards and wildland fires), a stationary command post with green lights making it easier to identify and 3 seating positions each with headsets for better unified command and communications during expanding incidents. It's certainly not for everyone, but it's great for us!
