Date: 4/6/2021
Location: 34th Avenue near 89th Street Queens.
The thick smoke was billowing down the 6th floor hallway and had started to force itself out the apartment windows. Around 1pm multiple 911 calls were received reporting a fire in an apartment building on 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights. Ladder 154 radioed Queens dispatchers with an urgent message, "10-75, top floor fire k". Engine companies quickly reached the top floor and extinguished the main body of fire. The Chief of the 14th Division however noticed a worsening smoke condition from the street and radioed to the 49 Battalion to check it out. The 49 quickly got back to the 14 confirming that the fire had reached the cockloft. For the next 10 hours and 8 alarms the fire would ravage the building. Difficult to reach pockets of fire along with heavy heat and smoke made this a tough battle. Nearly 11 hours later, with Fire Commissioner Nigro having been on scene for a time, the fire would finally be placed Under Control.

nice work and thanks for sharing the hectic fire scene
prayers for the injured members and the many residents displaced
Thank you.
After watching hundreds of videos never understood why it sometimes takes USA firefighters 5 to 15 mins to get water on a fire, in UK they hit a fire with water in 10 to 20 seconds of arrival on scene
In these apartments you have to know where the fire is before you spray, also have to set up engines to a water supply. It takes time. Venting the roof you don't want to spray someone in the face who is up there with a chainsaw or k2
@@tjhanlonjr Folks don't seem to understand. NYFD has it under control. Like I said earlier, the fire was on the inside of the walls. People think Firefighter have magic wands.
@@tjhanlonjr . . . how true - it doesn't help to blast water on a roof in queens while the fire is in the bronx . . . and to figure all this out takes some 10 to 20 minutes . . .
Wow these guys are way underpaid they deserve to be the highest paid. They are really good
Heart breaking to know all the people that were left without a home. My client who is disabled lost all of her medical equipments. The family only made it out with her wheelchair and the clothing on their back. Great job the FDNY.
The amount of ad interruptions on this video is worse than the fire itself.
I agree 100%

Thank you FDNY !
400-500 people living in an apartment building covering less than an acre of room. Right off the bat, that's going to create issues.
At about the 3 minute Mark someone says the main body of fire is knocked down. Also only smoke in the cockloft
Correct. The main body of fire in the original fire apartment was knocked down. However, the fire had extended to the cockloft. Emphasis on “main body”
That doesn’t mean that there wasn’t fire anywhere else. The main body is referring to the visible fire upon entering the original fire apartment.
Great work. Wow what a fire. Thank you
Not knocking FDNY but why with all of that manpower was the fire able to progress at that rate? Honestly there is probably a lot of information that is not given here. They seem to be going defensive for the most part so there may have been conditions preventing the firefighters from going offensive. Anyway, stay safe and you guys are awesome!
Superb footage! And another job well done by the FDNY! Stay safe man!
Thanks so much Jake.
44:15 nice shot of the master streams
Thanks Marsilo !
This was scary I lived 5 house away
Fearless The Best Ever
It too bad they don't have a way to saturate the clock left with foam from end to end and smother it.
Fantastic Footage and Coverage!
Just thought I'd also say What Tremendous footage of the Tower Ladder operations! The close up shots of the Firefighters in the buckets was just Amazing!👍👏
Great thanks so much Malcolm.
@@citystreets7871 You're Very Welcome!👍
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Anytime Steven.
@@citystreets7871 but can you show us the footage of the inside before and now and when the fire started if they have a camera footage to see how it started?!
The only footage I have is what you see here.
@@citystreets7871 oh
Looks like all new windows- the white stickers on the top left of all of them suggests it
The fire is on the inside walls of the building. This is one time where you will see concrete burn. They literally have to demolish the building to put the fire out.
Dude I love the rooftop angles you get. You ever think about a drone? A kid in NJ uses a drone in his videos plus on ground them drone videos look crazy 💪🏻🙏🏻👌🏻🔥🔥
Thanks Mike ! I feel like it might be too much stuff to carry around NYC, also I don't think it's allowed at fires in NYC.
@@citystreets7871 Ahh ok brother I know each state is different. But the roof angles you get are the best in the business!
They have their own drones now so they wouldn't want interference.
I think the insurance rates in NYC should triple.
People are leaving at more than 300 per day and that was before covid.
All the poor people living in deathtrap jails!! Glad I don't live there
Agreed
They are much better than before. I used to live two blocks away from this building back in the early 2000's. Nonetheless, the community is taking donations right across the street from this now-charred building
Deathtrap jails wtf? It’s an apartment building relax
@@iluvzurara2 With Bars on windows where people can't get out?? Relax your self hope you have a family member that lives in one if a fire breaks out.. I sure don't want that!! Have you ever smelt or seen a burnt body??
@@danyoung5346 it’s called a fire escape. Nyc is filled with them. I too live in an apt building in queens. Idk where you’re from. But yes we have safety bars on windows to prevent break ins and they’re removable. I’m not just talking out of my ass here and I resent the fact that you called our homes deathtrap jails.
Bravo FDNY!
Dios mío esto fue devastador me siento muy triste por esta 150 familias que perdieron su hogar ojalanpuedan volver pronto a sus apartamentos
Omg so sad
Don't they have building regulations in USA? Every building seems to be built out of highly flammable materials then most houses are clad in plastic, you would think there would be a public, fire service and government outrage, most Americans houses made of wood clad in highly flammable plastic
