- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- This video clip is narrated by Jeff Cool from Rescue 3 of the FDNY. It's a small segment taken from the IAFF Fire Ground Survival Program. The video recaps the events that took place at a tenement fire on January 23, 2005 in the Bronx, New York - Which killed Lt. John G. Bellew and Lt. Curtis Meyran and caused severe and critical injuries to Lt. Joseph DiBernardo, FF Jeffery Cool, FF Eugene Stolowski and FF Brendan Cawley.
Firefighter Survival is comprised of many elements including having the ability to rapidly and safely exit from an upper floor when conventional exits are blocked or non existent. Carrying a Personal Escape System and knowing how to rapidly deploy it in the worst of all conditions can not only save your own life, but also a fellow Firefighter or a Civilian.
Train, Stay Prepared, Be Aggressive, Make the Save - SURVIVE!

"Throw me the rope, I'll lower you down first... you have a wife and kids"
made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. what a man. that's what it means to be brothers
Nick Hecking Heroes and always putting others before themselves.
A true badass MAN!! It is easy to talk the talk but when it comes time to walk the walk, that is when the true colors are shown. What a noble action that deserves the highest of respect.
I lost it when he said he would give anything to go out on a rig one more time... That look in his eyes and his voice. True Fireman right there. RIP to the ones lost and god bless the families and survivors!!
God bless, and protect every man, or woman who proudly calls themself a firefighter. Now that I am too old, and physically unable to ever Climb on a Rig again. My heart goes out to all of you. No matter where you are, or what kind of department you serve in, volunteer, or paid.
Part of me rides with all of you, and stands next to you. Signed GOD
Wow this here just brought me to tears , This is what true bravery is , my nephew is about to become a fireman in maryland and it just hit home . God bless all those who have sacrificed there lives to unselfishly save others , I SALUTE YOU
Thank you for making this video. I got to meet John Bellew at a mutual friend's wedding, and I'm happy to've met him. I'm also grateful that I have gotten to know his wife and kids very well over the years, and am happy that Eileen has learned to smile again after this tragedy. Thank you again for making this insightful video.
Look at the pictures of these guys - HEROES ALL - as are our police and our military. Contrast these selfless, noble men and women with the ingrates who castigate and criticize them and you have the definition of malice and callousness. Here are Americans who awaken in the morning, not knowing whether they will return to their families at night, because of their calling to protect and save veritable strangers - you and me. Rather than bestowing respect and tribute on these exemplary citizens, there are some who would subject them to scorn and derision. It is despicable!!! Every time I hear Firefighters or the Police hurrying to a call, I say a prayer for their safe return. I pray each night for our courageous soldiers. All of these responders hold a special place in my heart, as they should. God Bless and Protect All Of You. Thank you so much for your bravery, compassion and dedication. Believe me, the majority of us appreciate what you sacrifice and what you do. You are the most praiseworthy of God's children.
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Not exactly sure how it works, but Police/Firefighters should never have to work again if severely injured. I would have adsolutely no problem paying an additional tax (if they ever came up with one) to go towards that goal. Same with the Military, if they going to send them into harms way, they have to be willing to take care of them better than they currently do. God bless these people that serve.
And very few should be paid more than the people you listed ! And I'm speaking of pro athletes. They are getting paid 100 x the amount that an Essential Service worker is receiving, and they are busting their ass to save yours !!
Aaron Barash I’ve been a paid firefighter for 10 years and I get what your saying, but is there a channel on TV to tune into when there’s a fire? Are people paying to come see us put out a fire? The answer is no. Athletes, actors get paid what they get paid because there is a demand and huge audience for them. People will pay to see a football game or a movie. If people were paying to come see us put out a fire or tune in on TV then yeah, our pay would increase....but they don’t; hence why we don’t get paid what athletes or actors get paid.
Hi Mike...sry, it's been awhile since I posted, so I had to go back and re-read what you're talking about. When I try to recall, I guess @ the end of the day, it doesn't matter whether you're a paid or paid on-call firefighter, the flame is all the same ! My issue is the pay for a pro athlete versus the pay for an essential service employee. Sorry, again, I can't recall what I was talking about. Stay safe !!

goov47 MY BROTHERS ARE THE BRAVEST!
AND THANX FOR THE COMMENT I KNOW WHAT YOU MEANT!😉
Thank you all.
I met Jeff cool he is a vary nice person.and is and was a vary dedicated fireman..he has a big heart for what he does.
This brought tears to my eyes, may no man have to be stuck in that catch 22 ever again
CRonaldo2507
Catch 22?
@@FDSixtyNine A catch 22 is slang for “every choice is bad”.
If you haven't taken the IAAF fireground survival course I urge you to do so. Not just for yourself but for your brothers and sisters that work beside you. RIP Brothers.
The Best of the Best! RIP to the fallen. This is why ground survival and rit training are so important. I hope I never have to make that choice that's a firefighters worst nightmare. Godbless us all and keep some wings on our shoulders when we need it
Thank you for creating this, and sharing
The nice thing is that FDNY Immediately learned from this incident and responded quickly to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
Not really because it is quite common to see firefighters working in hazardous areas of a fire without hoselines which was one of the things highlighted in the report. A charged hoseline is your protection to deal with changes in conditions. If departments continue to let crews go in to structure fires without a charged line this will continue to happen. You can find many more reports in different fire departments where a similar thing has occurred since this tragedy.
You make me want to be better . Thank you for your effort , I appreciate it
I live right around the corner from where this happened... it's very sad
We're not allowed to have bail out bags in my area. So we call them search lines. Thanks for posting.
I dont get it either. It's not enforced, but just makes you wonder who comes up with stuff like that.
jonathan snyder you a volly!
Reminds me of the yarnell 19 the granite mountain hotshots that were lost in the yarnell hill fire in Arizona
MY BROTHERS !😢
Amazing story..just yesterday I took my rope out of my pants pocket (because it was so bulky)..after watching this video I put it back..Thank you for sharing your story..Rest In Peace our Fallen Brothers !!
It's not that they shouldn't work again but we choose to go back and if we have to do it again, without a doubt, we will
FDNY Thank you for your service
Woah, how long was that vid? 10:22.... not sure i took a breath all the way through it. That Mayday was hard to listen to. I've been in the UK Armed Forces a long time and been in the odd tense situation, but i'm well aware that the vast majority of my time was spent training. Doesn't compare to these brave souls that are "doing it for real" every time they respond. Much, much respect.
Have you seen this one:
/watch?v=3fVWzNNMQPU
Even more heart-twisting. :(
It sometimes takes shit like this to learn how to continue one hour and one day at a time..
So sad but he's alive...
Why is the audio so low and poor, RIP all, and injuried
Dale when are we going to see more content? I love your videos!
God bless you
the fact that the job you like has a chance of ruining your career in it is painful..
They need to invent a harness they can have around the waist with a hook that opens up then they can exit the window and dangle until a rope is brought up to lower him down, with all of the tools they have why not that one?
Mike Gaughan They do now. They are equipped with a system that hooks onto the window frame or wraps around a solid object and has a rappelling device with a rope. They wear a waist harness and once out the window they can lower themselves to the ground.
this incident actually prompted the invention of a personal rescue system.. guys now carry or can get basically a small kit with 100 ft of rope, a belt which is basically a loop of webbing on steroids and a small belay device.. you run the anchor end around a beam or heavy piece of furniture and belay yourself down the ground.. you can also use waist strap on your scba as the "belt." some departments are incorporating harnesses into their gear so you can just use that as well..
Thank Christ that cousin George never found himself in this situation.
I'll do my best to protect nyc
Very sad. :(
Horrible choice, I’m
A Probbie and I pray to god I never have to do this.
