In my city, your double parked car gets bulldozed out of the way by the fire truck and then you get the illegal parking ticket and bill for any damages to the fire truck. Double parking can easily cost you thousands of dollars. DON"T double park ever.
New York traffic is a mess. I have no idea how these fire trucks are able to navigate through. Then you add on idiot drivers who feel they are more important so they can’t move out of the way. Personally I feel if a car is blocking the way the fire department should be able to force cars off the road, put fire hoses through cars, etc, and it’s the car owner’s responsibility to pay for damages.
These guys are so much nicer than 25 years ago. Before then, it wasn’t uncommon for a tower truck to “initiate movement” of an offending vehicle whether there was a driver in it or not.
There's an easy fix for this. Every fire house should have a tow truck that follows them on calls. Vehicles in the way? Tow them. Blocking an emergency responder? Charge them triple to get the vehicle back from the tow yard. I don't know how much that is in New York, but here in Hawaii it'll cost you about $400. Triple that amount and it's $1,200.
@Rune Willem If you are legally parked you are not in the way. If you are in the way it is very unlikely you are legally parked. That being said, rigging a car for towing takes a *long* time. No matter what the cost to the owner, the cost of the people that might have no other chance of rescue than that fire truck is immensely higher. Don't park where you should not. It could very quickly become a matter of life or death, and that's just not worth it.
@Rune Willem Well your claiming that a car legally parked "has not done anything wrong" Which is true, But useless to the arugment. The only reason for you to make this claim is if you think the person in this video that double parked did so legally. Which they did not. Your comment is stupid and has several errors, It doesnt matter if its "not made for debate" You made a counter-statement, Thus you entered a debate.

I like that you showed some of the very unglamorous bits of the job...all the time they have to take very carefully rearranging and putting up hundreds and hundreds of feet of firehose. That must've taken about as long as putting the fire out if not longer. But they have to do it. Also, that trick with the bleach bottle was genius.
That is why they should get proper high pressure hose reels like we have here in Sweden, and like all north europe and i gues even south europe. Super efficient! And easy. Each reel is 80 meter long and you normally have two. Deployment time? From that the truck stops at scene, it takes roughly 20 seconds to get water on the fire.
Nice job FDNY, please thank your families for us, and thank you all for your sevice!... I'm not sure about your chauffeurs, but I think if we put two long forks on your rigs, that can push vehicles or lift them up, I'm all for it. That would drive me bonkers waiting for someone to move their vehicle. God Bless, and stay safe, thank you all for the work you do! Rick K. EMTP retired.
I get it about the firetruck pushing the vehicle but the problem is it wouldn't work in this scenario. If they tried to push it, it will just end up going into one of the legally parked cars (unless the steering wheel was perfectly straight and car was aligned which is unlikely), which obviously will damage everything but then make the blocking car still block the road and become unmovable.
I saw a vid about a robot, long rectangular body, two big poles in front, pick up a car and pull it straight out. I think it said NYC is experimenting with these. Much faster than a tow truck.

@@aliciaaltair Well, to be honest with you, I don’t know of any tools or equipment carried on FDNY fire apparatus that have “magical properties.” Do you?
Driving a fire truck in NYC has got to be stressful, there's so much traffic you can't move in some places no matter how much you blow the horn and have the siren on.
Great footage. You should give this video to the transportation Department to show new ,and old drivers how not to park. If that was me driving that fire truck, I would have blasted the horn twice then put the bumper against the car and push it out of the way. Don't they have parking enforcement officers to stop people from double parking. Here you don't dare double park unless it's an emergency, as the fines are over $100. if your double parked or blocking blocking traffic.
Despite the fact the fire department was short handed and lacked enough equipment, the towering inferno of New York was extinguished before dinner time.
I was gonna make a sparky comment, but I understand why they did what they did. Could been SERIOUS BAD NEWS. Better to have too much than not enough, and then wait while more help comes.
They do push cars with the trucks. I've seen them break car windows because the car was blocking a fire pump. They literally ran the fire hose through the broken windows. FDNY are in a different league. Great guys!
A kid with a garden hose would a had that out in 5 minutes. Unbelievable waste of taxpayer money. Once they saw what it was all but one of those units should have gone back to the station.

Glad to see 3-Truck using a Fed-Q, those new sirens are hideous. If they’re not going to use a Q, they should just use the old sirens from the 90’s and early 00’s, they sound a lot better than those newer ones.

A friend worked for PG&E, they had a big job in San Francisco, signs for 2 blocks says NO Parking. They got there the next morning at 4;30 am to start to dig up the street, 20 cars were parked where says no parking. The SFPD call 20 tow trucks and towed them ALL away in 30 mins. At 7 AM people came out to go to work and there car is GONE !!!
could it be worthwhile investing in fire motorcycles? have a fire hose rolled up in one of the side bags basic first aid, a collection of hand tools and other small stuff in the other. fire extinguisher on top (or some other combination that fits your department's needs) respond with 2+ of these motorcycles, you could get to the location fast and get to work faster on simple issues, or prepare fire hydrants and closing the road for when the trucks arrive. Here in the Netherlands we are running a pilot program with firefighter motorcycles, and it seems very successful. we have 2 variants the first variant has: 25 liter (12.5 gallons) tank, a short hose, but has lots of tools, first aid an the like. The second variant has: 50 liters (13 gallons) of water/foam, with a 30 meter hose (98 feet) with a pretty decent spray distance. It carries less medical supplies, relying on our ambulance motorcycles to make up for that. These can just zoom through traffic, reducing response time, and reducing the cost of the simple calls that do not require a large fire truck and a lot of firemen.
Start running the houses over the cars and through the windows. They’ll stop double parking when it gets expensive. Those trucks got the push bumper. Do it to it.
I know each department has its own SOP's and preplanned response criteria but this seems a bit of overkill. They committed many assets, both rolling stock and manpower, which might have trouble getting untangled should there be another (higher priority) call. I was a volunteer firefighter / EMT and eventually a paid Fire Chief. I would have sent 1 - 2 men up a ground ladder with a booster (dumpster-trash) reel line and got water on fire much sooner. I would not have allowed civilians to walk under that awning when there was fire and fireground operations in the overhead.
Was this in a similar city? Both in size and in density? To me it make sense to have a more heavy response in a big, dense city. Both because of the probabilities of an incident quickly escalating, and due to the fact that a large city probably has way more assets available at any time, regardless of units on a call.
With the recent queens fire, and the loss of lives I'm proud of FDNY. I know assets are tough Chief, but you know things turn to shit.. The queens fire had over 200 ff there in 5 minutes. I'm so proud. Thank you FDNY
And what if the person has nothing but the damaged truck to sue for. Better yet what if the truck is illegally on road with fake plates and window stickers and driver is non citizen. It's NYC they just walk away. Many times I've towed away illegal vehicles from accident scenes no driver to be found.
The girl posing with the fire truck and people laughing.. kinda shows how desentized people really are.. its like... potentially someone can be in real danger from fire... and you're posing .. like its no big deal..
Life goes on and sirens are always in the background in NYC. Kids always get excited about the trucks, the trucks are cool, and everyone loves firefighters.
would you expect a fancy hose lift system while this works perfectly well, is simple, doesn't fail, is cheap and doesn't require maintenance but only knowledge
Can’t understand why people aren’t getting moved on away from the building. Some people just can’t think and just stand there instead of moving out of the area
double parking in NYC is _crazy_ I drive an ambulance from an adjacent service in downtown Toronto sometimes whenever the pt NEEDS to go to a downtown hospital and IT'S FUCKED. EVERY time I go down there I wonder if I'm gonna be able to complete the call without at least scraping something. Thank GOD for crewmates who are willing to get out of the truck and spot me through tight spots.
I’m a retired firefighter when this would happen, we’d just push the car out of the way. We wouldn’t even give then the opportunity to move it, if they weren’t in it already. Others lives may be in jeopardy.I wouldn’t give a damn about a piece of metal in my way
@@63076topher it didn’t happen. There’s no way a city or county will allow that to happen and have to continuously pay out insurance Monies. Not only do you have to pay for their vehicle you have ti fix your equipment. Running code 3 traffic does not give you the right of way, you are asking for the right of way. So yes. This didn’t happen atleast not often. Maybe once or twice in his career.
What's the deal with FDNY going about with loose straps, open jackets, unfastened chinstraps, BA masks dangling? Are they more into posing and looking tough that appropriate use of equipment?
@@robcaines8652 understood! What I posted was more tongue in cheek than criticism. I was a PFD medic for 11 years and prior to that a volunteer medic in another county. We trained a lot with the companies and believe me I would never debase or put any ff down. I never had to “crawl down the hall” but I’ve treated and transported some who did.
I was thinking the same thing. Didn't seem that big of a fire. Just seems like a little over kill seems like one engine and a ladder could have handled that.
Everything is done by protocol and SOP's. The number of trucks responding and the method of extinguishment. Because so many people are lawsuit happy. Just like the laws and protocols that dictate how many FF's are to be on each type of truck. What you see as overkill may just be their standard response. And like if any flames are visible then they required to use a hose, depending on the type and size of the fire regardless of how small.
Coulda used a few cans but it’s always better to wash it down and make sure the fire won’t rekindle and create an even bigger headache later as night comes and the smoke is harder to spot. Also it’s a great opportunity to practice a bottle stretch in a non training environment.
So we have 4 trucks 30 or so fighters for a fire that probably would have been sorted by a couple guys, a double extension ladder and a fire extinguisher. I know that it could have been a bigger fire but still.

the first variant has:
25 liter (12.5 gallons) tank, a short hose, but has lots of tools, first aid an the like.
The second variant has:
50 liters (13 gallons) of water/foam, with a 30 meter hose (98 feet) with a pretty decent spray distance.
It carries less medical supplies, relying on our ambulance motorcycles to make up for that.
These can just zoom through traffic, reducing response time, and reducing the cost of the simple calls that do not require a large fire truck and a lot of firemen.
8:08 Your attention to detail is highly appreciated. ;)
That black van stuck thought it was 200 inches to keep back! 😂😂😂😂
lol..ya might need more men and trucks to put out that inferno
You don't know what you have until you get there!
Stay safe FDNY

Start running the houses over the cars and through the windows. They’ll stop double parking when it gets expensive. Those trucks got the push bumper. Do it to it.
Great video
awesome catch
about time the ladder co's use actual fed q
6:18 Trying to tie a knot while wearing heavy gloves :) I can't even do it with my thin (very non-fireproof) work gloves.
The only thing you can do with gloves on. Shit your pants!
Tie a carabiner on that rope.
That knot was extremely easy, he shouldn’t have taken so long as a professional firefighter.
Damn, you guys have a HUGE bumper for a reason! Use it! Seconds count.
Nice catch
I know each department has its own SOP's and preplanned response criteria but this seems a bit of overkill. They committed many assets, both rolling stock and manpower, which might have trouble getting untangled should there be another (higher priority) call.
I was a volunteer firefighter / EMT and eventually a paid Fire Chief. I would have sent 1 - 2 men up a ground ladder with a booster (dumpster-trash) reel line and got water on fire much sooner. I would not have allowed civilians to walk under that awning when there was fire and fireground operations in the overhead.
Was this in a similar city? Both in size and in density? To me it make sense to have a more heavy response in a big, dense city. Both because of the probabilities of an incident quickly escalating, and due to the fact that a large city probably has way more assets available at any time, regardless of units on a call.
With the recent queens fire, and the loss of lives I'm proud of FDNY.
I know assets are tough Chief, but you know things turn to shit..
The queens fire had over 200 ff there in 5 minutes.
I'm so proud.
Thank you FDNY
Use the engine to push the car out of the way then send a bill for any damages done to the truck.
And what if the person has nothing but the damaged truck to sue for. Better yet what if the truck is illegally on road with fake plates and window stickers and driver is non citizen. It's NYC they just walk away. Many times I've towed away illegal vehicles from accident scenes no driver to be found.
That is such a recurring theme there
What was on fire?
The girl posing with the fire truck and people laughing.. kinda shows how desentized people really are.. its like... potentially someone can be in real danger from fire... and you're posing .. like its no big deal..
Life goes on and sirens are always in the background in NYC. Kids always get excited about the trucks, the trucks are cool, and everyone loves firefighters.
@@aliciaaltair i am 60 years old and have always been into law enforcement vehicles
Millions of dollars in gear but we use a jug and a crappy piece of rope to pull the hose up
Because sometimes simple is better.
If it ain't broke don't fix it
would you expect a fancy hose lift system while this works perfectly well, is simple, doesn't fail, is cheap and doesn't require maintenance but only knowledge
When does the outdoor seating go away?
Can’t understand why people aren’t getting moved on away from the building. Some people just can’t think and just stand there instead of moving out of the area
double parking in NYC is _crazy_
I drive an ambulance from an adjacent service in downtown Toronto sometimes whenever the pt NEEDS to go to a downtown hospital and IT'S FUCKED. EVERY time I go down there I wonder if I'm gonna be able to complete the call without at least scraping something. Thank GOD for crewmates who are willing to get out of the truck and spot me through tight spots.
I’m a retired firefighter when this would happen, we’d just push the car out of the way. We wouldn’t even give then the opportunity to move it, if they weren’t in it already. Others lives may be in jeopardy.I wouldn’t give a damn about a piece of metal in my way
I’ll take things that never happened for $500 Alex
@@justin2040 What makes you a expert? It did and should happen people should learn how to park LEGALLY.
@@63076topher it didn’t happen. There’s no way a city or county will allow that to happen and have to continuously pay out insurance Monies. Not only do you have to pay for their vehicle you have ti fix your equipment. Running code 3 traffic does not give you the right of way, you are asking for the right of way. So yes. This didn’t happen atleast not often. Maybe once or twice in his career.
@@justin2040 YES IT DOES. YOU MUST YIELD TO EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
@@63076topher AFTER they ask for the right of way.
Always a good day when the Squad pumps
Doubling parking is BS. In black neighborhoods especially people think it’s totally acceptable.

RIP Paddy.
What's the deal with FDNY going about with loose straps, open jackets, unfastened chinstraps, BA masks dangling? Are they more into posing and looking tough that appropriate use of equipment?
Someone needs to practice their clove hitch!
A granny knot would’ve done it.
@@milwright not necessarily easy to undo once put under tension and for these guys, time matters.
That’s why they use a hitch, not a knot.
@@robcaines8652 understood! What I posted was more tongue in cheek than criticism. I was a PFD medic for 11 years and prior to that a volunteer medic in another county. We trained a lot with the companies and believe me I would never debase or put any ff down. I never had to “crawl down the hall” but I’ve treated and transported some who did.
I love and respect my FDNY, but couldn't they have just used the can? Good training experience anyways.
I was thinking the same thing. Didn't seem that big of a fire. Just seems like a little over kill seems like one engine and a ladder could have handled that.
Everything is done by protocol and SOP's. The number of trucks responding and the method of extinguishment. Because so many people are lawsuit happy. Just like the laws and protocols that dictate how many FF's are to be on each type of truck. What you see as overkill may just be their standard response. And like if any flames are visible then they required to use a hose, depending on the type and size of the fire regardless of how small.
Coulda used a few cans but it’s always better to wash it down and make sure the fire won’t rekindle and create an even bigger headache later as night comes and the smoke is harder to spot. Also it’s a great opportunity to practice a bottle stretch in a non training environment.
Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, most Maydays happen with the first 20 minutes of being obscene
4 trucks and 2 dozen firefighters for just a little smoke. What a waste of tax dollars. Typical NYC corruption I guess....
So we have 4 trucks 30 or so fighters for a fire that probably would have been sorted by a couple guys, a double extension ladder and a fire extinguisher. I know that it could have been a bigger fire but still.
I just cant believe that would flood that with water above an illuminated cinema sign !!!
FDNY should have self loader tow trucks out ahead of trucks to remove illegally parked vehicles. Can remove a car in seconds
That’s my uncle Billy . Chief Quinn !!!! In the white shirt @4:15
Those girls 😊 they love firetrucks 🚒🚒🚒❤❤❤
Asian babes always with taking pictures to post on WeChat 🇨🇳
I know everyone has a roll as a FF, and there is a chain of command, but does the rookie climb the ladder the the old hands hang out until needed?
Courage au homme du feu 🔥😍
tbh i am waiting to see a truck ram a car out of the way one day
0:28 my generation is nothing but pure narcissists. Obsessed with themselves 24/7.
Unfortunately, those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. America is in the midst of revisionists attempting to rewrite the Jan 6, 2021 insurrection to halt the formal electoral ballots formalizing election of the next president of the United States, basing their false ideologies with The Big Lie promoted by the previous president. There will always be ne're do wells raised with zero empathy until a personal tragedy occurs to bring them their comeuppance.
The babes in beginning of vid are different. Eventually though in 3 years their supreme leader will be ruler of America, Biden will fullfil what Obama and Hillary started, the surrender and handover. Chinamerica, accept your fate 🇨🇳
She's just enjoying life, she's not impeding the engine.
I loved loved to see fireman in action! It's so thrilling! Epic!
Getting the nozzle up, where there is a will, there is a way!
Install cameras on all firetrucks and send them a $500+ ticket in the mail automatically. Will not solve the issue right then, but hopefully teach these people a lesson.
why didn't they secure the perimeter ?
Use those big bumpers to move the double parked cars!
Into innocent legally parked cars, no.
Love the real Q2b
How many F/F's does it take for a ONE Engine with a 35' extension ladder and 5 gals of water call....?
Keeps the unions employed. but, but,but they heroes. Stop it, it's all about money.
I see you earned your promotion from Lt. to Captain Monday Morning Quarterback. Nice job! Thanks for the helpful observation!
@@upinthetrees Ah yes the unions are the problem… workers uniting together, yuck! The fire department should be like Walmart why would FFs ever need collective bargaining?? Or did you forget 1975 where the mayor overnight laid off 2,127 firemen?
@@ChathamFireDeptfan You are welcome. Most UNION Departments across the US make due with 3 man engine companies and a four man truck crew, going from call to call... Must be nice.
Do you know what call came in as ?
