Another great catch and fantastic video. My most sincere condolences go out to the to the family or families who lost their home(s) do to this tragic fire.
My hat is off to the Paterson NJ fire department. Of all the videos I have watched these companies are well organized and always seem to control the fire quite rapidly without major damage to adjcent structures. Being a fellow Jersey Guy I am proud these guys are from my state. God bless
I will assume the gentelmans mother was not in the home. My heart sank when he said his mom. I would be horrified if this was happening when I arrived home. Yari send my well wishes. Please.
Bill Collins ; my guess is because there are exposures on both sides, and none in the front of the house. 1) Life Safety 2) exposures 3) putting fire out.
Ben Weber Thanks for responding Ben. I enjoy watching firefighters do their job - and I DO NOT have any firefighting knowledge. WATER DOES seem to douse flames, and It's just frustrating to see flames raging away with no water being directed at that spot.
Bill Collins ; from watching the video, I would imagine that man power was an issue to begin with, so you take care of the most pressing issues , which, in this case would be keeping the other two houses from catching on fire. As more units arrive, they finally have the manpower to start putting the main fire out as opposed to just containing it to the original structure (. #1 priority). There’s a LOT of bad firefighting videos out there, in my opinion, this is not one of them.
Ben Weber Enjoyed and understood your answers. I’m just a retired old fart that enjoys fire videos. Guess I always wished I could have been a volunteer FF in my younger days, but my type of job didn’t make that possible.
Also, if you look closely, there are wires down at the front of the structure. One appears to laying across the font, metal fence. That adds to complexity of the situation.
Prevention still seems to be an unknown word in the US .... 1: Still building in wood 2: The first thing FB would do overhere, is put a water curtain between the buildings, the house is lost anyway.
@@bst1154 Has nothing to do with basic FF, but with basic fysics ...... And that's were our basic FF starts with: Theory .... Knowing WHAT you're doing and why
I'm from The Netherlands and we have either forests or houses ;-). Why are houses of brick and concrete? Because of our rivers we have an ample supply of clay to make bricks.And with respect to houses becoming a total loss after a fire, on rare occasions. Yes, the contents of the house can be a total loss but the structure usually stays intact.
I don’t understand your comment? Paterson has numerous residents that are Spanish speaking. There are large areas of Dominicans, Puerto Ricas, Peruvians, Colombians, Mexicans etc. living in Paterson. And numerous Hispanic bars restaurants and nite clubs throughout Paterson!
Sjaak De Winter ; wrong. Being Deliberate and methodical , while gathering as much info as possible , in the first moments is very important. Running increases the chances of missing something important. And in this case, a fully involved house soon arrival, running would not change the outcome.
Sure, run like the wind dude. Get yourself breathing so heavily that you'll drain a 45 minute tank in 10 minutes, trip over hose lines, and make a complete asshole of yourself on the fireground. Ever hear of size up? You have to come to grips with the situation at hand, yes, the first moments are important but running gets you no where. You need to know what the fire is doing, where it is, how fast it's moving, whether or not there is entrapment, where the fire can possibly go while you and/or your brothers are inside and having some idea of an escape route or point of egress, who you're teamed up with, and what your commanding officer is assigning you to do. All of these require being cool, calm, and collected. Yes you need to move with a purpose and act upon it swiftly, but you can't go flailing your arms and running around in circles either.
Can always spot the keyboard fireman, hurry up run, I will save everyone and everything all by myself. Yes it is a burning structure but, first access the situation, is there people inside next whatever you might find out about the structure finally act. All the while the engines and ladders are being set up. Keep watching movies they will help to fuel your "expert observations" , not sure by the name if you are a man or woman, so I will say fellow human.
Running is no longer encouraged. Firefighters running number 1 expend excessive energy before ever even starting firefighting; running increases firefighter trips, falls, injuries; and has been proven that running doesn't speed up effective fire control and often actually has an opposite effect, slowing things down. Focused, purposeful, methodically organized movement is most effective on the fire-ground! Unless you've ever toted another 50 pounds on your body and expected to go into extremely hot structures to pull hose and fight fire you will never understand or get the need to manage exertion (respiratory, heart-rate, and exertion)!
Real firefighters are taught from the beginning to walk (with purpose). and not run. You have a lot of kit hanging off of your turnouts, which are heavy to begin with. Tripping and falling are an inherent problem to begin with, running makes it worse.
Yari G actually it was April 30th at 6:45pm ...I accidentally responded to the wrong person, I was talking about a Newark NJ vacant 3rd Alarm School fire on May 1st.... my bad!!
@@JasmineLindros Absolutely rubbish. No need to be all humping around BA sets. Half your guys wander round partly dressed in the risk area any way. It's not all about being a hero and gung ho it's about looking after your crews. When we have guys committed in BA we have an emergency BA team rigged and ready. The other thing I can't see is any of your guys carrying thermal imaging cameras.??
@@JasmineLindros No the point I'm making is you don't all need to wearing the bloody things. I watch you when you turn up and you take ages to get sorted and get anything done. If you had guys without sets on its far easier to get your water supply sorted if you haven't got that weight on your back. By the time you lot get sorted your knackered by carrying that around while running out hose so if your buddy is in need of help your to bloody worn out. Oh and the other thing . You lot seem to have a habit of going through the doorway without a hose of thermal camera. Why ??
@@andyoxleyonhistravels you take off your pack when you tag out for rehab or to refill your bottle. Those composite bottles are light not like old aluminum keep it on until told to dress down. You should be on air even for a defensive attack structure fire smoke is very bad even in small doses were 4 times more likely to get cancer so keep your packs on and mask up!
I'm sorry but is it just me? If they pointed the water in the right direction it might of been out already! Finally the guys in the street did the job!😖
Yeah, it's just you. At 2:22 you see there's already a hose inside, in addition to the one at the A/D corner and the one in the B exposure and the tower stream.

Agreed! These guys are very busy, work hard, and are dam good at their job!👍🚒
Good video, looks like a nice little neighborhood. Shame.

Don't think the use of man power is used for best outcome. But I'm not there in person
Great Job They Started protecting the exposures first!!!
Fantastic job in covering the exposures and, securing a quick knockdown on such a large wooden building. 👍👏👏👏
Another fire with the power still on wtf is with the power company?
MY SCHOOL IS NEAR HERE AND I SEE THE OLD HOUSE EVERY TIME THERE IS FIRE DRILL
well you ruined that video!!
Damn bro very beautiful video!!!! A 76 year old man was killed in that fire. So sad.
@@youngragewhat in the fuck are you talking about?
Was anyone trapped?
Why aren't there a couple more hoses aimed at the FRONT !!

Turn of the century home with baloon frame construction, sad to hear about the loss of life.
@@stillbobrb9 that house was very similar to my grandparents house, they all burned similarly
Forget first house, its gone.Save house on left.
I was thinking the same thing. For some reason they were spraying the one on the right
It's actually 650 E. 26th St.
Was this near the old Barnert Hospital?
How exactly did that Fire, start in the first place?
This department is on Live + Rescue on A+E. One of the Chiefs in this video resembles Chief McDermott.
Lucky it didnt get into the triple decker 2 doors down...there so close together cant be legal...surely not
How many people died? that was next to my house but i was in RD so idk what happened
Good video take be a good training video for the fire department
:(
Prevention still seems to be an unknown word in the US ....
1: Still building in wood
2: The first thing FB would do overhere, is put a water curtain between the buildings, the house is lost anyway.
@odeis5 there's something wrong with you. Why are you so offensive in your reply? He was making a statement, not insulting you. Chill!
You must put water ON the exposures. Water curtains do nothing for radiant heat which is something you would learn in basic firefighting.

Did they rebuild their home?
hope everyone got out firemen are ok
How come I hear a lot of spanish in the background. I thought this fire was in Paterson and not Miami.

@@firefighting-videos Wow! I had no idea that so many spanish people lived in Paterson. Im down here in south florida where all you hear is spanish.
great vidéo
Thanks pal
What caused it???
HI
Good job by all.
Lamentable!
That was a fast moving fire !
I see some firemen they just walk in the beginning.
Everybody have to run, the first moments are very important.

Finally at about minute 8:30 they added hose in front. Should have been there sooner!
Was this yesterday
Today May 1st 2019 at about 12:30pm

656 E 26th St ? Looks more like 666 E 66th St.
Can I ask a question guys, why do all firefighters always walk around with a BA set on their backs no matter what ?
Same reason they walk around in turnout gear and helmets. If you're not ready to go to work, you're not doing anyone any good.

I'm sorry but is it just me? If they pointed the water in the right direction it might of been out already! Finally the guys in the street did the job!😖
That house was well gone. Firefighters were hitting the houses next to it to save them from burning and/or suffering major fire damage.
What he said.
Yeah, it's just you. At 2:22 you see there's already a hose inside, in addition to the one at the A/D corner and the one in the B exposure and the tower stream.
