New particle board construction would have been far worse. This old girl had good bones or she would have collapsed in ten minutes or less.
That's for sure! Residents all had a chance to get out here. Unlike lightweight construction crap. This ole gal gave a fight, but still stood tall. Real steel & real brick. Like it should be.
New Construction Requires A Working Sprinkler system and Even While It's Being Built It's Got to Have A Dry Standpipe Marked By Red lights Above the Connection '
When a fire is really going, it amazes me how much water can be poured onto it with what looks like so little effect. Heck of a job against very difficult conditions.
When a fire is below s roof, lack of air prevents the area above it from burning through. The fire spreads along the underside, burning through where air is available. Pumping water from above, wherefore misses the seat of the fire and it just runs out below. Even when the roof collapses, it continues protecting the seat of the fire from water and the reduced gap underneath makes it even harder to get the water where it is needed.
At this point, the only real difference is made by water through the windows and directed below the burning roof.
People often comment on firefighters breaking all the windows below a burning loft before the ceilings collapse, but assess to the underside when the ceilings start to collapse is the reason. The ladder should drop to window sill height and aim the water upwards. Plenty will drop down and protect the floors.
With access problems for ladders on all sides, this is easier said than done.
Google 280 Gregory St. and see how this building was brought back to life after a very bad fire! Hope all who lost homes found a place to live.
I will never NEVER live in a highrise apartment building.
I used to live in one, for a so called joke the local yobs would set the alarms off..I was always worried about getting out and fires xx
that's where my best friend used to live good thing nothing happend to her
Did they ever determine a cause for this blaze? I looked all over and was unable to find anything more than 48 hours after the fire. At that point they had deemed it accidental, but were still investigating the source.
In principle, can such a major fire not be extinguished, or are these firefighters the only ones who can't? In the end they made it anyway, yay! And at that time, the cameras were still really rubbish, useless for night shots. It's much easier with modern cameras
It looked like they eere making progress and getting the upper hand and then all of a sudden things went south real quick.
fire likely got to the cockloft, which is the gap between the ceiling of the unit and the roof of the structure. Once there it's basically a bitch to put out as the fire can extend anywhere and just persist for a long time.
it might be like a stupid comment but fire most of the time seem to start at he top of building
Fire can start anywhere but because of some old styles of construction (no fire stops between studs) it travels upwards as if it were in a chimney until it gets to the top floor. Unless one put their hand on a wall and felt the heat, it probably wouldn't be discovered at the source.
Usually, it does NOT start at the top; it is allowed, by bad building methods (which are still being used, like in those Avalon monstrous bonfires) to travel to the roof/attic very fast, and there, lacking decent firewalls (which should reach higher than the top of the roof) the fire can go anywhere it likes and spread across the entire building, and then travel down again; that is why you see the whole topfloor here is ablaze, and given time, the whole building will be engulfed. Just bad design and bad building.
thanks for the info
33lex55 Don’t forget about the grenfell tower block fire in London, that started on the 2nd or 3rd floor and traveled to the top within an hour due to terrible building methods.
Started on the 4th floor with a faulty refrigerator and set kitchen ablaze.The flames travelled out of the kitchen window and set the cladding on the outside of the building on fire. Turned out the cladding was highly flammable and the flames spread to the top of the 14 story building within a few minutes.
It had nothing to do with bad working methods, just the company who had the contract to fit the cladding saving money by buying an inferior product.
VERY NICE RONNIE! ;o)
Thanks my Brother! :)
tornadochaser66 10-4... ;o)
I don't think I'd want to live in an apartment on Gregory Ave...jmo.
Great video,radio traffic adds to drama.
Thank God for mutual aid.Old buildings feed the fire.Good video.
Hoses into the air from the other side!
They were from inside the building. The best way to deal with a loft fire is to hit the burning material on the underside. However 5 minutes into the video, they were worried that the roof would collapse, so the crews were called out and they worked from outside. Slower and less efficient since you are waiting for the roof to burn through, but no one gets hurt.
How many alarm fire America doesnt have
Chief Trenacoust did a hell of a job alongside my Passaic brothers. I was away on my honeymoon the night of that worker. My grandmother lived in the building and made it out ok. No lives lost is always a great thing.
That building is where I live to this day I started there in 2018 - 2019 and now I still live there
I know this is an older video but each time I stumble back upon it I am reminded (based totally upon observance) how well Passaic NJ Fire Department manages and coordinates strategy and tactics of a fire! I am a retired fire captain and I can observe a fire department's fireground activities and communications and get pretty close of predicting what kind of fire department services a fire department provides. Let me say, I have always been impressed with what I've seen and heard PFD do on a multi-alarm job!!! Keep up the good work Passiac Fire Department!
Such a difficult job every one a hero brave men hooray to all of them . Tim smith . Uk
great video. the quality of your videos just keep getting better an better.
The Bravest
15:00-end of video..... someone forgot to shut down their scott pack before they took it off! seriously how do you let a PASS alarm go for 12+ minutes??
Awesome Video love the audio in the background. I got to get out there sometime soon. Im working in Hoboken On Saturdays.
+Andre C Rivera Thanks brother!! :) Give me a call when u in Hoboken we'll meet up! OK But this Sat I won't be around..
cool tornadochaser66
With All the New High Rise Buildings in Hoboken They Need to Build Some New Fire houses to accommodate the City's Growing population and Buildings
These brick structures on Gregory are stubborn burns. Once they get going, they pick up momentum very quickly almost making exterior operations inevitable. This is one of several of the same exact construction, which turn into raging infernos. Good work getting everyone out...
Seems the fire goes across the roof tops quickly and enerjetically. Something in the roofing, bitumen I would think. Once that gets hold, it's all over.
Look at a LAFD major fire video, then come back here. Get it? If not, do it again. Listen to the radio use, the bunker gear, the physical condition of the FFs, and etc.
European firefighters would have at least a half dozen hoses immediately on the fire! So many trucks,so many picking their asses. Not their fault,just bad leadership and organization! Send trainers overseas to observe how their professional work!!
same shit every fire video.
One helluva of a fire, I imagine the residents, which will be many, to find new housing for them, will be a nightmare in itself, as I also figure no one can go back in to live in the apartments below the fire floors due to water and smoke damage. Superb video Man! :o)
+Larry R Wendell Jr Thanks Brother! :)
tornadochaser66 Your welcome, Brother! :o)
8 alarms? Most departments only go to 5 alarms (preplanned). After that it is just special call.
It took all 31 Passaic fire companies to extinguish the blaze, with help from the fire departments in Paterson, Clifton, Totowa, Woodland Park, Little Falls, Wayne, Bloomingdale, Pompton Lakes, Wallington, Carlstadt, Rutherford, East Rutherford, Wanaque, Woodridge, Moonachie and Teaneck.
So, how much was left when the sun came up? Looks like the fire marched right through the top floor of the entire complex? No fire breaks?
There were none when that building was built that's a much older building than the new ones
Am I seeing two lines on the one ladder
Went time did this fire started and went time did the call go out
Another superbly covered fire video, Ron! :o)
+Larry R Wendell Jr thanks Larry
wow! i certainly am glad i don’t live on gregory! two major fires within six months!
in any event, a marvelous shooting job, though i would’ve wanted to stay farther away in case the wall on my side came down.
i take it the building was a total loss.
i wonder how much the police vehicle impeded the arrival of more apparatus.
so, when you aren’t chasing tornadoes, you chase fires?
i live one house away from that building
That had to be scary!!
truck 1 from east Rutherford is my favorite apparatus
I just checked out your channel and am impressed. As a retired Volunteer of 18+ years I check out many fire videos and now and then come across a good channel like this one! My favorites are the Helmet cams! Especially when they enter the fire building in an aggressive attack. You have a lot of stuff that could be used for training purposes. Ever consider hooking up with a Dept. somewhere and helping them out with their training using you videos?
On another note, your handle, tornadochaser prompts me to ask; do you have any fire videos in that 360 video list of yours that contains fire tornadoes?
+Richy BearPaw thanks pal, Im a retired EMS Chief.. I post them here so the depts can use them as they please for training, critique pr investigation
@@firefighting-videos do you have any tornado videos
Jets in the air as usual
Geez when you have a fire you have a fire, welcome to hell on earth men. Be safe and remember everyone goes home.
What do the different alarms mean? Does an alarm mean a certain amount of equipment?
Yes
Nasty fire
Horrified scene of roof collapsing and top floor getting fully involved!!
Excellent Footage, I Live in A High Rise in Jersey City N.J The Newport Complex Where We Have A Sprinkler system and Many Other Features of Fighting A Fire in A High Rise 'I'm on the 20th Floor- Years Ago The Law Didn't Call for A Sprinkler system or Standpipe in the Stairwells ' I've Seen Many Fires in This Area of Jersey With the Same Construction and the Same Destruction Passic County Needs More Inspections of These Buildings
Thanks bro!
Amazing video - great angles, fantastic editing. You're by far my new favorite.
Thank you very much! :(
do they know how it started?
yvon malette As usual neglect or/and insurance money
Brilliant coverage. Many thanks
Thank you Murray!
Outstanding video!!!!
Thanks!
what's with all the honking and beeping around 5:40 ?
The building became unsafe due to the size of the fire. There may be a collapsed roof or floor. When the call is made. The firetrucks blast their air horns to notify the firefighters to get out.
Its so that the fire fighters in the building know that they have to evacuate if they dont hear their radio
All trucks blasting horn means everyone out of the building. They can't use the big guns while guys are inside as they can cause some serious injuries either directly or by launching debris, boards, etc... at high velocity. It's best to start inside as that's where the fire is so they try and put it out inside first. If conditions worsen, no progress or danger increases, pull out FFs announcing on radio and using the horns and then they turn on the deck guns and towers. It's a very rare thing to see both FFs in building with the truck cannons going.
amazing, great video
+legrandyaka2013 Thanks! :)
is their a burning time or formula used to determine floor and roofs are unsafe ?
These guys don't have to be fire fighters .they do out of a passion for helping others and protecting us from harm .we are so lucky to have these guys on our side .there for us
Someone tell me the actual cause please if anyone actually knows
All good until the sleepy, creepy Joe Biden commercial!
Lol!
Perhaps I`m not qualified to comment, but an awful lot of city fires in America, are in the upper couple of floors and the roof. Would it not be possible to fit to new buildings or retro-fit to old, a basic fire hose set-up on the roof of every building ? Surely fighting a roof fire from up above or at roof level and from an adjacent high rise, would assist the firefighters at street level ?
A lot have standpipes that go up the inside and they can carry up hoses I think
There are a great many fires which have started in the basements of buildings as well you never know where one can start
Wow seemed like they were getting the upper hand on it then the fire had other ideas got into the loft area and seemed to spread fast! They ever find out how it started?
I thought all these multi dwelling homes were supposed to have sprinklers. When the lobby of our hospital was set afire, the sprinklers pretty much took care of the fire, just a lot of water damage. The main thing I would worry about if not children would be pets.
We should have sprinklers everywhere in me humble opinion!
SuperMarbelle in older buildings it “grandfathered” as they were built before that building code was put in place so they don’t always have to retrofit the building with sprinklers
