Worst fire I ever fought was a pallet yard. Extremely hot and the construction of the pallets allows for a lot of oxygen into the fire. Great video, brings back great memories!
Those questioning the ones "standing around" must not understand firefighting. Not everyone works at the same time. They go in shifts so the ones that were fighting fire can rehab while fresh firefighters take their place. If everyone was working at the same time then everyone would have to rehab at the same time.
Because those fires have no immediate life hazard or danger of spreading to anything. Focus on the big picture and once you have the fire contained then you can focus on the little things.
@@illiilliilliill I did too. Lots of well dressed observers. Has nothing to do with shifts or jobs, they didn't rotate the guys in the buckets. Just lots of guys standing around. Plenty enough to grab a section of hose and tap into that Tower Ladder for a bit of water to deal with the cars and pallets on fire. The Jeep on fire was responsible for the bulk of the black smoke. Knock that out so your guys aren't sucking in all those carcinogens.
Uffffffffff, was für eine Hitzestrahlung, das die Autos auf der anderen Straßenseite anfangen zu brennen !!! 😳 Sowas habe ich als ehemaliger Feuerwehrmann noch nicht erlebt !!!! Danke fur die Aufnahme 👍👍👍
Exactly. So lets have oil tankers right adjacent. So glad no explosion. For the firefighters life's are saved. Because that close with that intense power firemen would not stand a chance. Whoever wrote license and approved pallets and oil needs there head examined. Stupidity unfortunately kills everyday.

Wow , that's a really big fire , it looks apocalyptic , it looks like everything's on fire , the FDNY sure keeps pretty busy putting out these infernos !!! 👍😳🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒
Bless all the fire fighters 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 who put their lives to fight the fires and saves the victims lives. Please when you see them say thank you for your hard work and offer them if they need help with groceries or something else. I do.❤❤❤❤❤❤. Love them fire fighters.
19:33 that SUV on fire is a total nuisance. This is my second vid I've watched thus for and this SUV fire is again, a total nuisance. Man put 2 to 5 minutes of quick water of this polluter and then move to semi. The fact that they did not shower her with water annoyed me.
I've only witnessed 3 intense fires in my life. A tire fire that burned for almost 4 days just down the from where I grew up. A pallet yard not too far from I worked at the time (pallet fires are insanely intense. And a cardboard manufacturing company. With that last one, me and my cousin were drinking beer on his patio about 3 miles down wind from that fire, and we had still hot embers floating down on us.
Yes, so much was working against them. The heat, the size of the conflagration, the vehicle street clutter bursting into flames, you have to feel sympathy for the mess that the firefighters had to face.
THESE GUYS RISK THEIR LIVES EVERYDAY FOR EVERYONE, WHEN YO MEET A FIREMAN, ORE A POLICEMAN, GIVE THEM A HUG, PLEASE ALL YOU EXCELLENT PEOPLE TO KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO FOR ALL, OF US OUT HERE, YOU GUYS AND GALS ARE EXCELLENT.
do they worry about contamination from fuel? I know they got a lot going on and stuff but it makes me curious and I find it interesting they are not worried about the utility poles that much.
I’m amazed that FDNY crews don’t wear SCBA’s when extinguishing car fires. Smoke is extremely toxic from the plastics tires and car battery. Is it a macho thing?
maybe coincidently yes lol Since the car also doesnt seem to be factory stock, aftermarket parts may have played a role or it could have driven too close to the building fire or flying burning debri? idk lol
Which works better a pumper truck and tower truck, or a tower that can pump itself? It sounds like a lot of time was spent matching towers and pumps. Gawd whatta mees and whatta job. Got it done.
Can anyone tell me what kind of truck that is at the very beginning as the camera is walking toward the fire? It's on the right and the size of a tractor trailer. What does it contain/supply?
I know it’s two years late but that’s a heavy rescue. They carry special equipment for more special ops type calls. lots of departments have them and use em at calls like bad mvcs where there’s entrapments, large fires, etc
too slow acting .... too much chatting 10 to 15 people doing nothing walking around like donkeys carrying a hose haha ....just get water on it and ignore the chiefs man damn the radio chaos is insane how to get confused .... command this command that just hose the cars down using foam ... im shocked every time i see murica related fire fight videos ....just too much chaos every single time
Folks may interested to know that not every hydrant produces the same amount of water (gallons per minute). They are color coded based on their output. Even when there's hydrants there are still potential limitations, especially when they're using the 500 gal/minute nozzels on those sticks and ladders. They gotta hook up to many hydrants.
2:51 : Caller to 911- “My car is on fire please send help now!” 911: “Ok we are sending help to you now. Is it just smoking or do you see flames?” Caller: “I see flames. Oh I should probably mention this… the entire block about 50 yards away is also on fire too.” 911: “ …. “
looked out the window from flushing, thought a plane crashed coming or going to lga...put an 85mm lens on my t3i (136mm) to see---man that was a big fire! props to the fdny once again...and this on 9/11---we never forget those guys on that day either
They can, but you can get more GPM from a Tower Ladder, plus its pipe is more maneuverable and you’ve got observers in the bucket who can better direct the stream and assess its progress. When a rear mount is used, you need to stretch a hose up it and control the pipe with halyards while standing on the ground. The FDNY does not put a guy up on the tip of the ladder like some Departments do.
I believe I heard something about this is in the area of Hunts Point?? I delivered a load of produce to Hunts Point Produce Market once in the mid 80s. After I left, I told the broker I was using to load my truck if he ever even mentioned Hunts Point, New York City, or the GW bridge in my presence again, I was going to whip him, crate him and ship him via UPS to the location!!

Imagine being 'that guy' who's car bursts into flames 2 blocks from a 5 alarm fire.
he got luckly lol now if it was an EV it would be a nightmare
Fire silence. Logical captain.
That car caught for another reason, otherwise all the stores would have caught too
Worst fire I ever fought was a pallet yard. Extremely hot and the construction of the pallets allows for a lot of oxygen into the fire. Great video, brings back great memories!
Thank you for your service.
Wood or plastic pallets and folding totes? Either way, both are a real PITA and present their own unique challenges.
Those questioning the ones "standing around" must not understand firefighting. Not everyone works at the same time. They go in shifts so the ones that were fighting fire can rehab while fresh firefighters take their place. If everyone was working at the same time then everyone would have to rehab at the same time.
What they cant spare 2 or 3 guys to get that van and pallet fire on the curb out?
I saw a lot of grab-assing going on there.
Because those fires have no immediate life hazard or danger of spreading to anything. Focus on the big picture and once you have the fire contained then you can focus on the little things.

Pallets. Notorious for burning hot and fast. Nice footage as always JJ.

Oh Madonn'!
seeing those trucks possibly catch fire makes me want to cry, especially the old Mack, also it's amazing how they know what hose goes where
each hose is identified by lettering of its station/truck id. and location. Otherwise, it WOULD be a nightmare to get everything back to its original owner
Not sure how other departments are but all of our equipment is marked, air packs and all, what truck and where in the truck they came from
Get the Fire Tow truck in there and get the Old one out ! 😱🙄

This is crazy! I wonder how it started, great footage man

Kudos to these brave and hard working men.
Purely defensive fire, all hose firefighters tending to the aerials water supply. Good work, this is why firefighters are trained the same.
Yeah buddy this is one of them times you bust out the master stream appliances, protect the exposures ,surround and drown.
HOLY ****** what started this fire?!?!
24:30 What is that high-pitched, whistle-like alarm? I hear it in almost every video, but can't figure out what it's coming from.
PASS Alarm. Goes off if a firefighter is motionless for a certain amount of time.

serious heat, thanks for sharing....Scott
Paychecks were truly earned on this day. Way to put in work FDNY
Nice work! What camera and radio do you have?
So much going on, car fires, truck and rubbish fires, was John McClane running around there JJ?
Yes, so much was working against them. The heat, the size of the conflagration, the vehicle street clutter bursting into flames, you have to feel sympathy for the mess that the firefighters had to face.
When it rains it pours.
When did FDNY stop using "K" in their transmissions?
Early 70s the DEPARTMENT started using "K" over the radio.
what brand of fire truck does New York use?
They are built by Ferrara FA and Seagraves, if i remember right.
@@Migor1992 thank you, I've always liked there trucks but never knew what brand they where.
Engines are Seagraves and KMEs. Rear mount ladders are Ferraras. Tillers and Tower Ladders are Seagraves. Squads are Seagraves. Rescues are Ferraras.

Ha! Chief sounds like Ray Romano...😎
do they worry about contamination from fuel? I know they got a lot going on and stuff but it makes me curious and I find it interesting they are not worried about the utility poles that much.
Does FDNY use 3” supply lines? Does any apparatus carry and LDH?
Quentin Waynick 3 inch lines supply the tower ladders. Most engines hook up to hydrants with 5 inch lines
They use 3 1/2” hose with 3” butts.
What's up with the car fire, convenient.
It'll buff right out. Good as new.
It was automatic anyways
😂😂😂
I’m amazed that FDNY crews don’t wear SCBA’s when extinguishing car fires. Smoke is extremely toxic from the plastics tires and car battery. Is it a macho thing?
Seeing that Lancer catch fire hurts. I can't imagine the pain the RO felt regarding
@@CobaltZ_hans exactly dude, my heart is broken
5:56 running over the charged line doesn’t do damage???
It should be avoided but one or two times isnt to bad if they are similar to the hoses we use in Germany.
Does not look charged at that moment
These guys deserve medals horrible horrible job .they are so brave x The man directing is so clear in his instructions
What the use of having Ladder trucks, if your not going to use them. What takes them so long to get them up and put water on the fire.
So the EVO just randomly caught fire?
maybe coincidently yes lol
Since the car also doesnt seem to be factory stock, aftermarket parts may have played a role
or it could have driven too close to the building fire or flying burning debri? idk lol

They had a helluva lot of hoses on that. It was a block wide fire, I was just on one corner at the very beginning.

What channel is the on scene command? DARS?
Yes
Doesn’t always work
Definitely a defensive fire only. Pray no one gets these types on fire.
And this scene sums up 2020!
Why was the EVO on fire?
What's with the car on fire? Separate or part of the building fire?
Wow...hell of a fire load....What genius decided storing wood pallets and tanker trucks was a Great idea ??
The white lancer caught fire 1 block away ? .. Thats odd ?
back when I was doing fire I can't say I ever saw a car fire right around the corner from a structure fire

what avenue is that?
Do they use rear mt ladder for water tower?
They can, but you can get more GPM from a Tower Ladder, plus its pipe is more maneuverable and you’ve got observers in the bucket who can better direct the stream and assess its progress. When a rear mount is used, you need to stretch a hose up it and control the pipe with halyards while standing on the ground.
