It truly hurts my heart to watch these old FDNY videos, Knowing that so many of the firefighters in these videos made that ultimate sacrifice without the slightest hesitation on 9/11. God bless them and may they R.I.P

“How’s my ears? “”Looks like a good sunburn kid.”. Love these guys
Christopher Blackwell of Rescue 3 was the last interview heard on this video. He was killed on 9/11/01.. RIP brother, you will be missed.
I know Chris Blackwell, I was in Engine 10 as a volunteer firefighter but on the morning of September 11th I was in school with my fellow FDNY volunteer firefighter friends/schoolmates, all of my friends that were volunteering in the FDNY including me heard our scanners report a 2nd alarm and then a 3rd alarm, when the multiple 5th alarms were transmitted my teacher turned on the television and that was after myself and my volunteer firefighter classmate group left for the WTC about a block in a half from the trade center, we got in our gear and took our book bags and headed to the fire, we saw the 2nd aircraft slam into the 2nd tower, once both towers were gone I got checked out at the hospital but spent a couple of weeks in the hospital but returned to school on September 24th 2001, they had purple and black bunting on the classroom doorway in memory of me, but when I got into class they breathed a sigh of relief that I was ok and I survived, for 8 months my firefighter friends and my fellow volunteer firefighter schoolmates spent digging for bodies and survivors trapped in the rubble of where the twin towers once stood, we found all 343 of our fallen brothers and 3,000 fallen civilians that died in the collapse of the twin towers, I believe on March 27th 2001 all of us returned to our routine which was going to work and school and going to fires, and we had memorial services at my school to commemorate the 343 firefighters we lost on September 11th 2001 while operating at Manhattan box 8087, I joined with guys from Engine 228, Engine 216 Ladder 108 Battalion 35, Rescue 1, Rescue 2, Rescue 3, and Randolph Mantooth’s crew on September 12th 2001 trying to help find all the deceased bodies, and we did and we had funerals for them for many months, the high school I spent my high school career in is long gone on Church Street in Lower Manhattan and had become something else, things have changed over the years ever since I graduated from that high school a year in a half after the attack. NEVER FORGET!
@@fdny3526 FDNY volunteer firefighter? There's no such a thing. Could you tell me more.
@@jiipee12jal0 not if you’re an intern, when an intern you volunteer for the fire department because realize you are helping out so many of us interns consider ourselves as volunteer firefighters but technically we’re interns and considering many people volunteer in the FDNY at the age of 15 as an intern to help out the firefighters with alarms such as car accidents fires gas leaks odors of gas car leaks that can consist of oil coolant refrigerant brake fluid power steering fluid gear oil or other types of car leaks car fires rubbish fires which we used to call garbage can or recycling fires usually these outdoor garbage or recycling bin or can fires occur in the winter when people truck in their lumber for this type of fire they have trucks that come up and they unload lumber from where they get it I don’t know I don’t know where it comes from but the people better be tired of making rubbish fires and not putting it out when they’re done with it to keep warm, us fire department interns also respond to all medical emergencies such as cardiac arrests difficulty breathing revival diabetes comatose drug overdose mental illness such as attempted suicide hit and run collapse from dehydration allergic reactions and much more medical emergencies we also respond to fights tenant landlord disputes if you heard in the documentary of FDNY Rescue 3 1991 even water leaks vehicle pursuits where they need a big rig to do a roadblock to end a pursuit shootouts etc etc this is what us interns or what we consider ourselves as volunteers do to help our firefighters out with their hectic job
@@jiipee12jal0 FDNY has Vollie companies. Mostly the beach sections.
that is correct but they are not considered FDNY companies@@MoparGuy1625
Irish and Italian New Yorkers!! Best FDNY guys. God bless them
I loved how they always wore their airsets, every call, but NEVER masked up, sitting there coughing up a lung
For real. It hurts my lungs just watching them in some of these fires without airpacks and masks.
You waste air doing that if you are not in the fire building working in the heat and SMOKE!!!
@@gregnorthrop6046smh
@gregnorthrop6046 the one guy is leaning out a window to breathe
I was a Reserve Firefighter for a large Fire Department in the 1980's. And it was a fact that old school Firefighters thought that anyone masked up wearing a breathing apparatus was a "pussy and weak." This is why you never see Firefighters masked up in these old videos.
It's amazing it took years after this video for FDNY to finally get bunker gear with the number of calls they take.
Not to mention SCBAs and other PPE gear.
What another great vintage FDNY video from 1991. At 16:22, we see Chris Blackwell and Ray Meisenheimer. Requiescat in Pace brothers, 9/11, never forget, always remember. There is also another great Rescue 3 video from 1985 as well.
the 1985 video is from when rescue 3 was still running their 1979 Mack R pierce
Do you have a link of the 1985 video?
Never forgotten, I was a freshman on 9/11 but I recently learned the Oreo Palmer story... What a champ what what a hero I must say
Thank you for giving me answers to two of my questions.: who Was Chris Blackwell?
and
are there more film on rescue3?
Rest in peace and God Bless all victims of 9/11.. that day, and since that day too 😔🙏❤️
@14:00 "any firefighter will tell you a person caught between a fire and a window will jump, no matter the height" he had no idea how right that would be 10 years later.
It struck me when the captain said people will jump out of the window no matter how far it is to fall if it's a choice between the fire and going out the window. This was shown to be true in the towers fire.
Look up black Sunday, six firefighters jumped from a 4th floor rather than burn.
Eerie.
😢😢😢😢
My Dad (John Mulroy) 30 years in the FDNY most of it at Rescue-3
@jamesmkalbaugh Chris was my cousin and i will always miss him. I myself am a cop in Baltimore and am just hitting my 20th year a milestone i believe Chris had just hit prior to 9/11. Our whole family has been involved in public service. It is a noble thing we all do to serve our communities. RIP all who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and be safe all my brothers and sisters.
Thank u for your service.You are appreciated!
RIP Chris! You were the best of the best
We will do it again! 🇺🇸fantastic video. Thank you FDNY!!!
Something that haunts me as a fireman who works on a heavy rescue If you worked on a rescue on 9/11 you didn’t come home
I remember this series. I also remember attending Al Ronaldson's funeral back in '91. Looking at some of the faces on the 9/11 poster at the firehouse, I recognise some in this video who were lost on that day. RIP brothers. Thank you for this video.
he would’ve been my grandpa but he died before i was born. :(
@@avaronaldson9538 Trust in god Your grandfather Al is your guardian angel
In heaven Ava 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Always be proud that your Grandpa is a Hero for eternity Ava , God bless Sweety
@@OwneyMadden430Well said.
I knew when I was 5 I wanted to be a fireman. Never changed. 37+ years, now I work for a county Fire Marshal’s Office.
God bless FDNY. Best firefighters in the world. Thanks
I agree completely
Its one thing to be a firemane..its another to be a FDNY fireman..
We do what we do because of the love of the job and our willingness to always be ready to help those in need.
You are appreciated...respected..and greatly loved! Thank u!
Crazy this is only 10 years before 9/11, because it looks ancient compared to footage of 9/11 where it looks particularly modern, even though it’s 19 years since then.
For someone who has been involved in 2 fires in my lifetime once when I was ten and about 12 years ago. I have the most respect and love for firefighters. Bravery is to benign a word for them. AND THEIR CUTE!!!
They sure are!🥰
Always visit that house when I was a kid in the late 70s. Near the carvels
this an awesome video! i hope you come across more old FDNY videos
Thank you for your service
the days of 3/4 boots, a coat and Helmet
This firehouse is Engine-93/TL-45/Battalion-13 181st st. the Washington Hts section of Manhattan, just over the Bronx line.
Thanks
Thats Robert Ballard in the beginning! One of my greatest inspires.
What a great video, timeless. Can anyone identify for me the fire fighter at 1:30. His ham falls on the kitchen floor, priceless. Cooked in my house for years, I sympathize! All the best to all the brothers at FDNY.
Jack Rooney. He was our neighbor at time of this presentation.
Chris Blackwell The best person to be rescued by. You were the best
R.I.P Ale we will all miss you brother
Who else came here because of the 9/11 survivor Tim Brown telling about his best friend Chris Blackwell from Rescue 1? I wanted to know this person because Tim told us about his personality and reputation and passion on the job..also wanted to see, if Tim Was Working there in 1991.. I didn’t recognize anyone here who could have been Tim. Sadly, back in ‘91 they didn’t write name and title on screen, when interviewing a person in a documentary.. so I can only speculate, who Was Chris..but glad they at least made one 🙏
My uncle was the Battlion Chief in that house Kenny McGowan
RIP FF Ronaldson
I remember watching this video when I joined as a vollie back in 1994.
Thanks, Jamie.
Great house...great area to work in
Rip brothers 🇺🇸🙏
Visited E-93 L-45 and B-13 in 2012
I absolutely adore firefighters! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤
love them!
May every firefighter who is made the ultimate sacrifice rest in peace there's extremely dangerous jobs so the ones that will make that ultimate sacrifice may they rest in peace and thank everybody past present and future for doing that job making sacrifices and special thanks for the ones that make and we'll have to make the ultimate sacrifice
keep em coming
Is the cat a firefighter? :D This is what I love about our fire department.
They use the cat for confined space rescue
Hard to believe this was ten years before 9/11. This looks more like 1981 than 1991.
Yeah it does
2:35 "we'll be back, don't burn the rice!"
Nice Great work
FDNY are the best of the best.
“Any person between a fire and a window will jump, no matter how far the fall”.
Its been 30 years since Al's death 😪
he would’ve been my grandpa but he died before i was born.
Pure and True..
Miss The Bronx
nice job
DAMN @ 2:55 there was almost a call within a call... I've heard it's only TWO things a NYC cabbies stops for... red lights and fares lol
My Step Brother Kenny McGowan was the Battalion Chief in that house
I like the new station on Washington ave.
did brian williams film this company for his homtown heroes and if so is still around or was it company 5
Rip.chris God bless fdny
Rescue-3 is back in The Bronx, housed in their own firehouse at East 176th st.
I live in Washington heights and I'm near the 181 St fd
Little did they know that 343 Brave men would perish,9/11
Great video, man how the rules have changed. Riding on the truck like that, no air tank ETC.
They still ride the rescue like that
I see Mikey on 93 engine! wow was he young then!
Mike Healey?
Damn trying to get a moustache like that guy in this clip and can't.LOL
R3 is at a different firehouse now right?
Ray 16:22

At 13:27, would that be R3's second piece? Also looks like a trailer next to it.
Spare rescue

Is the Fire House shown here still a working one and if so what’s quartered there now?
Yes it is. Washington Hts. A busy Hood.
E-93 TL-45 B-13

Rescue 3 isn't in that house anymore they have theyre own house with Collapse Rescue 3 which uses the same men

Wow! Burnt cookies!-__-
What truck was Ale on
Rescue 3

R3 is still in service in the Bronx on Washington Ave. with Rac3 and Collapse R3 right next to ems station 18, Engine 93, Tower Ladder 45, and Battalion 13 are still at 181st in Harlem.
1:01 this man was in the World Trade Center
Do they ever get food poisoning leaving their food out all the time??
yes most 5 year old kids will say they want to be firefighters true but no kid will say they want to be a cop

13:49
And that's where where I have to turn it off.
It is rough
When men were men....
I'm a cheswold firefighter an we get a lot of calls I always wanted to be a firefighter
Rpn
if its such a brotherhood, than why do they put locks on their lockers?
Looks like their lockers are in the truck bay. What's stopping John Q Public from stealing shit while the doors open or if they come into the hall?
Lucas Stephen many firehouses have gotten robbed and they know to check lockers
Because the scumbags break in the house and rob the our Shit
23 years in my firehouse and my locker and closed are always unlocked....trust my department with my all my life
