2024 Wildfire Air Resources
Air resources can be a huge advantage during a wildfire. They're able to get water (or retardant) on the fire, to slow down or stop the advance, enabling firefighters on the ground to safely get to work. This year, West Metro will have access to a number of air resources, including a helicopter and helitack crew from Douglas County.

Living with Wildfire in Colorado

Wildfires are a part of living in Colorado. And if your home is in the wildland/urban interface (WUI), where structures intermingle with wildland vegetation, your risk of wildfire is higher than most. In those areas, home mitigation can go a long way to protecting your home and family. But it takes a bit of work, as a homeowner in Roxborough has found. "Whatever it takes to serve." website: www...

It's Not Just Dirt: How Not to Set Your House on Fire
Good man
This is the best fire department video I have ever seen! Excellent work on the video and nice job by these firefighters!
Hi 👋
1st
This is my uncle
Are all west Metro engines BLS?
We have a paramedic on board every apparatus. In this case, Marina is the tailboarder and is an EMT. On that particular Engine 3 crew, the engineer and the officer are both paramedics. On some crews, everyone on board the engine is a paramedic. All West Metro EMTs are sent to paramedic school on a rotating basis. Generally, about two years after graduation from academy.
That's a very nice fire house. I've seen worse.
Keep up the good work from wv
I think I saw a West Colfax Legend
I love DOGO’S good job west metro
Training room 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Interesting here in NY we don’t put fathers and son or brothers on the same shift let alone the same company
Hi Jerry: not a permanent assignment. Jake was doing his tower task book at Station 8. All new firefighters have task books for each apparatus and will be assigned a station to complete that task book.
Thank you for your service 🤠👏🏾! April 19, 2024 10:28PM

Hopefully ill make it into the fire academy soon .
Cool satisfying video!
I served as a Volunteer firefighter here with the B.C.F.D. in the late 80s did go out on a few calls as well as got certified in Fireman One state Fire Fighter Academy in N.M.. I really enjoyed being a firefighter then and learning so much about fire suppression. I served for a year and half . I also enjoyed of course putting the wet stuff on the hot stuff lol. I personally liked the segment of this video about the Father son relationship and the son following dads foot steps in firefighting. Before being a Volunteer firefighter? I worked in the EMS field in Massachusetts in Revere and Salem . Anyway thanks guys for the video . I enjoy watching these . It's great stuff indeed. 👍
A neighbor this past weekend suffered a cardiac arrest and it was the first time I'd seen a Lucas device used in person on a real patient (after seeing it several times on TV). Sadly the medics couldn't resuscitate him. It was a haunting image...
What a great idea. She seems perfect for the job and so beautiful. Makes me miss my Irish ❤
Thank you for posting this. What a wonderful friend for the fire station. My dad is a retired Chief from Aurora fire department. He was very impacted by all the tragedy he saw and all those guys I'm sure had a tough time. A dog like Remy would have helped the whole station have a calm and healing atmosphere.
Dust Devil it's a Real thing 🤔
Actually- it's a smoke whirl.
What is that?
Fires often create their own weather- even smaller fires like this burn. A smoke whirl is a spinning vortex column of ascending hot air and gases rising from a fire and carrying aloft smoke and debris. Sometimes these whirls can also carry fire, in which case they’re called fire whirls. These whirls can range in size from less than one foot to over 500 feet in diameter, and large fire whirls can have the intensity of a small tornado.
@@WestMetroFire ok thank you fellas.

We get those in our front stoop all of the time. We have wood floors... IYKTYK
Are fire tornadoes technically still tornadoes?
A good question for a meteorologist.
Kind of impressive dirt devil there
Actually- a smoke whirl.
As a want to be firefighter. I love these videos because it helps me understand what to expect if I do go to collage for fire science. You guys are true hero’s. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Hi remmey your so adorable hello from southwest Springfield Missouri
Nicholas
9:54 I can hear a faint fire alarm in the background!
Yes- the alarm went off at the hospital while the medic was there.
Hey West Metro, is there anyway you could put me into contact with Capt. Harms of station 8. I met him yesterday when he was a passerby on a call we worked in Indian Hills. Id love to thank him. Thank you!
send an email with your contact info to: pio@westmetrofire.org
The Colorado flag from 2 1/2" hose is awesome! Great job!
What the medics run for work shifts? Great content!🇺🇸
Our firefighters work 48/96- that's 48 hours on, 96 hours (four days) off.
