My dad was a fire rescue instructor and squad leader 27 years. I rode with him to many fire calls and I love seeing people pulling over to let the emergency vehicles have the entire road on both sides if they need it to get to where they're needing to go.
They did an amazing job knocking down that fire as quickly as they did. given the way these structures burn the other residents were lucky. That whole building could've. Prayers to those that lost everything,
Well, if by some miracle, People in this country some how magically become educated, no fear at all as any emergency vehicle can disregard traffic laws using due regard and caution.
@@mudducke8 you likely use your phone while driving and disregard any emergency vehicles. They have the right of way even if it means having to do something illegal if it means SAVING LIVES
@mudducke8 At least in the United States, most, if not all state Legislatures have passed laws permitting emergency vehicles to disregard traffic laws as necessary for that emergency vehicle. The authority is from the state Legislature.
9:05 look at the chick with the helmet on, taking pics. Wearing a t-shirt, shorts and a fire helmet. 👌 🤦♂️ You know you’re in wacker land when you see that kind of dedication. 😂😂😂
This is an outstanding video 👍🏻👍🏻. Enjoyed the ride along, but held my breath when you entered the apartment. All the smoke, it’s like entering a maze blind folded.
5:15 Haha at first I looked at that and thought WTF is the pickup doing stopped on the wrong side of the road. Then I notice that it was the fire trunk was going the wrong way.
You say you are a volunteer in NYC can I ask what you do though all NYC was paid FF do you do rehab. Just saying that's what I do with Fire Cadets as a volunteer Advisor. We work with MSO and Paramedic monitor vitals and cool FF off with plenty of fluids and a misting fan with chairs for them.
7:04 someone's already noted the ladder truck sitting in a parking lot, but did anyone notice the old guy in the white t-shirt and cowboy hat crossing the street and doing the arm pull/air horn thing? That's normally reserved for children and drivers of semi trucks, dunno if I've ever seen an adult do it OR anyone direct it at a fire engine! 😂😂😂
I work in Security, fortunately I have a better Job in the industry than I did starting out, but when I was just starting out as a normal Armed Guard, the only thing I had to deal with really was Crackheads, Wife Beaters, and Drunkards, you couldn't pay me enough to do this. Mad respect.
Hey FireRescue50! I watch your videos often and love the content, I work with my full time dept as a junior FF. Anyways, I was wondering what chest light and helmet light you use for firefighting, I’m having trouble finding the right ones. Much appreciated if you could tell! Have a great night!
@NoHarmDunn You ask about a firehouse signal in a state where "Sheriff's" are not legally allowed to act as police. You ask about a simple signal light in a state where, for the most part, there are no county services, only town, borough, village, township, or city. Layer upon layer of political subdivision Bureaucracy... lmao
Very quick response! A job well done. I’ve got a question though. What is that fast spinning thing you can see on the left? I’ve noticed also that the fire was spreading through the whole attic. Are there no firewalls between these units? Greetings from the Netherlands.
They're probably doing district coverage for the companies already on the incident. Being a midmount, it probably doesn't fit in the station they are covering for so they posted.
sounded like with the roof you were using a battery powered chain saw, do you find them better than their gas counterpart i'm sure the weight is way different as well
How do U.S. fire departments respond to fires in buildings 30 stories or higher? Can a fire department's ladder vehicle handle a fire in a high-rise building higher than 30 stories?
most Ladder, towers, and other platform trucks are any where from 85ft to 110ft reach. there are certain dept. that have specialty trucks that can reach way higher, but for like 30+ stories, none compromised structures its all interior reach. standpipes are located in stair wells throughout most highrise buildings. so water supply wouldnt be a problem at those heights.
No not really. It can cause a pressure spike and damage the pump and/or branch. Best practice is to have wedges each side to make a bridge for the wheels to go over so they don't squish the hose. PS branch = nozzle I'm Australian
Technically you shouldn't drive over any hose lines. Although as long as it's not charged and an official says it's okay, then it should be alright. As @elinor6525 said, there are hose ramps to allow vehicles to go over charged hose lines, though rarely do I ever see them used.
That was a very stupid thing to do driving that distance into head on traffic. This guy should have a sit down with his battalion chief and if the chief condones that decision he shouldn’t be in his position. I was an engineer for a long time and if I would have pulled a stunt like that I would have had my ass kicked across the engine bay. Now go ahead and pile on but no one can defend that stunt.
Did they need more distance? I wouldn't say never. That's something that tends to vary from situation to situation and in this case I don't think the extra distance would've had any additional benefit
One: This call is not in their first due, meaning it's not in their district. So of course, their response is going to be longer, which for a mutual aid response, 8 minutes is actually quite quick. And driving a 20-ton fire truck through busy streets isn't easy. Two: You never run at a fire scene as it's a safety hazard. You move with a purpose "Power-walk". You use more energy running and can possibly trip over tools and hose lines. You might think it's slow but this was actually quite quick, and they had a fairly quick knock down of the fire.
@ 1 I know exactly what it’s like to drive a rig through streets 2 I have seen some fire companies get water on a fire within 30 seconds and a full crew have ladders hoses saws etc within 5 minutes. This was slow. As are most companies
@@Moneymike29 You sure you watched the same video? Because I can see ground ladders placed and crews beginning fire attack just as the Truck arrives. Not to mention there could be things going on-on the Charlie, Delta side that we can't see. We only see one perspective which they we're immediately tasked with primary search of the adjacent apartments. Take it as you will, but I say this was relatively a quick response, especially for volunteer fire companies.
It's heartbreaking to see tragedy of losing a home but awesome response Tower 50!
Amazing y’all were able to contain this fire as quick as you did, kudos to all responding agencies..
That was a very bad fire with the loss of a tenant. Good work by all the crews in containing the fire as quickly as they did.
My dad was a fire rescue instructor and squad leader 27 years. I rode with him to many fire calls and I love seeing people pulling over to let the emergency vehicles have the entire road on both sides if they need it to get to where they're needing to go.
I worked there once upon a time. Good job to all fire crews involved.
Love how folks see a fire truck coming, lights and siren going and wanna decide to pull into their driveway at last minute.
They did an amazing job knocking down that fire as quickly as they did. given the way these structures burn the other residents were lucky. That whole building could've. Prayers to those that lost everything,
5:15 I'm curious how scared these people must have been seeing a fire truck running code heading straight for them
Well, if by some miracle, People in this country some how magically become educated, no fear at all as any emergency vehicle can disregard traffic laws using due regard and caution.
@@haroldenglish943 Exactly. And PAY ATTENTION to oncoming - to the front and rear of your vehicle and surroundings. So many Don't!
What gives you the authority to run code the wrong way on a one way street. That is an accident waiting to happen.
@@mudducke8 you likely use your phone while driving and disregard any emergency vehicles. They have the right of way even if it means having to do something illegal if it means SAVING LIVES

Finally someone who knows how to properly use a Q
Love to see the tower. Amazing videos I use these to study for essentials.
What a brilliant video from call out to attending, gives me a better insight to how you guys work, Great Job and stay safe. Rich UK
Your video gives us a insight to what fire fighters have to go through thanks tracy
Thank you for taking us with you. So glad no one was hurt. Great job guys. God bless.
Interesting to actually see the inside of such structures! Most videos only show exterior.
out of respect of privacy, I would assume
Great camera !! A job well done to all!!
Awesome ride along and a great visual perspective on the hard work performed when called upon. Stay safe..God Bless.
WOWZERS!! Huge tower truck flying down a one way like that is adrenaline rush to the max even for me just watching 😮
I love watching your videos because in the future I want to be a firefighter Thankyou for everything you guys do😊

I couldn't agree more!
I believe that may have been a Public Information Officer, i could be wrong but thats my guess.
That’s mostly a department photographer Ik here in New Jersey we give out department photographers old bunker coats
@@csx2183 A PIO would probably be dressed more professional.
Volunteer fire department in summer time. You going to bitch about NYFD chauffeurs in shorts and tennis shoes? @@JobTown39
I was hoping you would have a video of this incident! 💪
This is an outstanding video 👍🏻👍🏻. Enjoyed the ride along, but held my breath when you entered the apartment. All the smoke, it’s like entering a maze blind folded.
Good job. Awesome video. This was a ripper for sure!!!!
Great video.
Fire apparatus are so bad ass. Love the sound of that turbo diesel and how effortlessly that rig just glides down the road.
Excellent video, good job guys
Good job guys!!!
5:15 Haha at first I looked at that and thought WTF is the pickup doing stopped on the wrong side of the road. Then I notice that it was the fire trunk was going the wrong way.
Crazy seeing two ladders and no engines. Must have been a busy, busy day that day.
Would love a video tour of your rigs and hall!
He just did one recently.
I'm a volunteer firefighter in New York City love my job and saving lives it's super rewarding.

Glad that you pointed that out. 🤷
pretty sure he was just waving the truck to go down that street, while hurrying out of the way
I still absolutely love the engine sound on Truck 50
I love your videos, much respect.
Hell Yeah! JOBTOWN!
when he tapped the ceiling with that stick and seing that redglow was fucking scary!!
Y'all are damn good!!!
Beautiful city.

Make that siren WAIL!
It's There for a reason!!
Hell! All those pretty truck companies on the scene and not one has a stick up to dump water on that fire? WTF?
Did you watch more than 10 minutes of the video?
Truck Co. 67 had their tower ladder up and flowing water and cut off the fire from extending down the rest of the building.
Good driving 🔥🚒👍🇺🇸👍

Wait who in your jurisdiction didn’t approve a firehouse signal for that intersection.
Also loved seeing the opticom doing what it needs to.
Obviously you are not from Pennsylvania

How do you turn on and off the rotor ray sincerely Chris tong
Was that Lancaster City's tower sitting in the parking lot at 7:04??? Were they on the call?
Was gong to ask why it’s not on the call also? Just sitting there .
Was Truck 2 not on the alarm? Just wondering why it's posted up about a mile away?
They're probably doing district coverage for the companies already on the incident. Being a midmount, it probably doesn't fit in the station they are covering for so they posted.

A fireman once told me to not book a hotel room higher than the 6th floor if possible due to ladder limits.
@@SpeedOfficial_really?? every laddertrucks in germany can reach 38-42m (~125-138) and the bigger on can reach up to 70m (~230ft)
That ridiculous twirling light cleared SO much traffic. Lol..
When was RIT established?
Does truck 50 have an electronic siren?
Why were so many casually walking around or just standing around?
Keep the internal fighters dry ! ! !
The guy who cut out in front of yall at roughly 4:00 was really stupid. Don't EVER turn out in front of a fire truck
What radios does Lancaster county use?

Is it ok to drive over a hose?
No not really. It can cause a pressure spike and damage the pump and/or branch. Best practice is to have wedges each side to make a bridge for the wheels to go over so they don't squish the hose.
PS branch = nozzle

All'arrivo del camion, le altre unità gia presenti non avena attivato nessuna manichetta.
Che vuoi dire? Alle 9:09 si possono vedere i vigili del fuoco sul lato destro per combattere l'incendio.
This complex reminds me of a fire at a complex in my town days ago or a week ago but this one is much worse or about the same.
That was a very stupid thing to do driving that distance into head on traffic.

Never nose in with a rear mount, ya lose distance.
Did they need more distance? I wouldn't say never. That's something that tends to vary from situation to situation and in this case I don't think the extra distance would've had any additional benefit
Something wrong with someone want to watch a fire truck going to a fire for 8 plus minutes !!!
Amature hour, yikes
American fire companies, slow as usual.
