On Scene: FDNY Engine 65 and Ladder 4 Extinguish Ice Cream Truck Fire in Midtown Manhattan, NYC

- A soft serve ice cream truck, parked on the side of the road, caught on fire due to engine problems. The fire grew for approximately 5 minutes prior to being extinguished by responding FDNY members from Engine 65 and Ladder 4. This incident occurred at approximately 16:35 hrs on the SE corner of E 50th St. and 6th Ave. in the Midtown area of Manhattan, NYC. I personally believe this is karma for charging $10+ for a sundae, plus extra for toppings.
Ladder 4 came in like "Get the hell outta my way."
FDNY NORTH YANKEE BRANDWEER 112 LADDER 4-TRUCK "PRIDE OF MIDTOWN" CAME IN BE LIKE: "EXCUSE ME EVERYONE AND THE VEHICLES!, PLEASE GIVE WAY! THANK YOU!"
@dammitbobby283 Only 1 engine and 1 truck, no firetruck in the FDNY carries 3.
The firefighters were wearing the SCBA but it would have been great to see them actually using them
The IAFF is always bitching about safety but support these types of operations and then file suit because the department didn't enforce OSHA and NFPA standards
What a joke
Free ice cream for engine 65, ladder 4 and battalion 9. Nice job!
after that, more like free milk
I count at least 10 SCBA sets not 1 in use ,image is everything
Yes, this is probably their 5th fire of the day. Boys are tired and complete pros at what they do, Tiny car fire like this? Who cares. They are fine mr Safty officer
Considering none of them made entry and the smoke is blowing away from them what's the problem. The ones busting windows out of the truck were on air. The others didn't need to be.
With all do respect, but FDNY seems to always send about 3x the personnel needed with alot of guys just standing around...
They have over 3 times the traffic and 3 times the exposures of most places.
The FDNY is very numbers oriented. Every unit that gets sent adds to the monthly/annual number. Smoke and mirrors.
Not even when the call comes into 911 it’s what being told for the response because normally it will be 1 engine and Truck / Ladder to a car fire 🔥 or rubbish or whatever minor alarm .
FDNY normally has 6 on a ladder, 5 on engine. The engines do not have preconnects,all hose lines are pulled off hose load and connected to discharge.
Little slow getting your bumper line going FDNY.... the three 70 yr old volunteers I work with can get water faster. One of them has an artificial leg.
Car or truck fire isn't as big a deal as it is with the vollies ,and they connected another length of 1 3/4".A minuet or so less time would not have made a heap of the difference,still a total.
Yeah... nice try at sounding salty. Unfortunately, no one is buying it except you.
@@tommcl54 “salty”lol …So where are you volunteering with all your experience?
New York City. Times Square. Your turn. We're waiting.@@rj4590
Somewhat pokey yes...
I do think Europe deals with fire like this a lot faster and efficiently. The high pressure hose reels or cafs systems are dealing with it in second and use half the water in half the time. I'm not saying they do do a great job but saying can always learn from other fire services and have more modern fire fighting equipment
Arizona use caffs systems in all fire engines these days.
Europe has different infrustructure so to see they do better is BS
@@talk-is-pitt so you think all them men and woman and two truck and tons of water with a large line that taken twice as long to get going is better than 4 guys and more than half the water in half the time. I'm. Not saying they bad I'm saying could be better if use technology from others it go both ways.
@@warren6891you clearly have no concept on fire fighting at all. You talk about technology when technology has nothing to do with it. From the time that video showed the fire it took them less than a minute and a half to get water onto the truck. You have to completely stretch a hose line. Then once that is done the driver goes to the side of the engine or truck and pulls a lever that brings water pressure into the hose. Only then can you start spraying water. I hope that was simple enough for you to understand. Also they're in the middle of this city where water wastage / usage is no issue
@@warren6891I'd also like to point out that it took them less than five minutes to put this fire out and you want to sit here and talk about they could have done it in less time
very nice camera work, liked and subscribed. Great all the way around!
Indeed. For once the camera is steady and on the action.
Mercy. The F.D. on the scene were slow to start fighting the fire. Those on the way seem to be the solution to the problem. Why is that?
What?
You don't have the slightest clue how to fight a fire and it's obvious.
1:12 NEW YORK CITY LADDER 4’S Q2B SOUND.
Take your time chaps!
Yes indeed, thanks for giving them your approval chief!!! This is so routine for these boys. Leave it to the pros
I scream, you scream, we all scream for….aaaaaahhhh!
So 2 "Firefighters" and 11 people supervising.
Waiting for the icecream 😂😂
Don’t the FDNY Appliances have a hose reel that they can immediately deploy on arrival?
I don’t understand what takes them so long to get water on the fire! It’s insane!!!
charging up lines takes a little bit 🤦♀
@@bellatheffmedic Not in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, where the water is ready within 30 seconds
Negative on that.. that truck Carrie’s 500 gallons of water. They should have had water flowing in 30 sec or less. My dept dose it regularly. 30-45 seconds and flowing water…
It's a vehicle fire, it's a total loss as it is. Why rush?
@@speedball10169 exactly
Ah, yes. Fried ice cream.
Seemed to take a great deal of time to get the water onto the fire. So many crew just standing about, then absolutely breaking the vehicle apart , seemed rather gun ho .
do they really need 20+ guy for this small fire?
10 FF and two engines and a command unit really how many does it take to put our a vehicle fire. Also do you really have to tear the vehicle apart and break all of the windows. Where I come from if we have 4 FF we are lucky and it gets done .
As a retired veteran fire fighter it does take time to get on seen and do evaluation and attack it's for their safety too
Not the ice cream! OH, THE HUMANITY!!!
NO SPRINKLES
For you kid... fog nozzle and hydrant water..
Work that nozzle...
I have to admit, it doesn't matter if its a car fire or a high rise, FDNY hits it hard.
But so slow.....
If hitting hard means lots of appliances then yes…. If hitting hard means knocking the fire down quick then it’s a massive no
@@jimbo021075 yes, the sarcasm didn’t come across as desired. From the front preconnect that didn’t seem to be connected, to the fact the truckies seemed to be doing most of the work, that was far from a good response. And the fact that for an inner city engine company those guys had the cleanest gear I’ve seen.
@@jayp7171these guys would work circles around any of you kids. These guys see more in 24 hours then you will ever see in your life
@@jayp7171 There were several things in the video that could have been tweaked to do better. One of the biggest ones I noticed was the lack of SCBA's being utilized. I also would like to point out that, if you have dirty gear, your cancer risk increases significantly. Wearing dirty gear also poses a SIGNIFICANT safety risk to you. If you got done with a fire and lets say there was lots of chemicals burning like gasoline.. Your gear will break down after time if you don't get that nasty stuff washed off. And if the chemical you got on your gear didn't wash off, it also now has the protentional to catch your gear on fire. Dirty gear contaminated with other hazards, can also react to the next call you run... So yeah, I think I'm going to wash my gear after every call like NFPA requires. I'm curious as to what kind of training you have.
As @warren6891 says not in a rush are they in the uk we would have seen the hoses flowing long before this lot decided to hook up water!!!
if you go to 3 or 4 fires a year, you get excited over car fires. we don't.
I imagine the huge response is due perhaps to how hard it can be to deploy resources navigating the crowded streets of NYC but also perhaps because of a default assumption to anticipate exposure problems with nearby buildings. Just a random theory from someone with no formal training. But even as an amateur I cringe at the lack of masks in of all places NYC. Then later when these guys get sick they'll sue saying it wasn't their responsibility. It's someone else's obligation to force them to protect their lungs...
Those tanks have only about 20 minutes worth of air. They're not gonna use them if they don't need to.
@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomSand this vehicle fire took about 4 mins to extinguish. So what’s your point about 20 mins of air? Just go on air and reduce the risk of getting cancer. Stop coming up with excuses. That’s why there’s spare bottles.
@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS Thanks for proving my point. They DO need them. At that moment. Because some of them will get cancer or lung disease and die later in life for not having put the mask on at this fire and many others because in the moment it seemed unneeded and inconvenient. But then don't sue later on when you get sick. But this is precisely what many of them do. So, yes, on a certain level it's a judgement call when outdoors, when the fire is relatively contained, when the "hassles" and costs of switching out bottles is factored in etc. But again unionized members of many of these departments are being sued claiming someone needed to force them to wear a mask. And where I am there are squads whose sole responsibility is to rotate the bottles. And on most fire grounds there are relief crews that step in while the bottles are switched out. Time consuming and costly sure. More expensive? Sure. Unnecessary perhaps? Maybe. But again the few that get sick later should then simply keep quiet. Happy to hear alternative reasoning
@@deew_knird_reeb_ekomS And? If you run out there's always another bottle if you need to step away and replace it... You realize it's literally just air right? They fill the bottles up with normal air with a compressor, it's not like they're saving the department money by not using their masks... You think they're going into structure fires with bottles of expensive pure oxygen strapped on their backs.
@@BootyGoblinesque But they don't carry reserve tanks with them, now do they. And by with them I mean on their person, not in a seperate compartment on the rig.
That's right next to radio city music hall. Mr. Softee is a person of interest.
Now that's a tragedy, if ever I saw one.
Wow all fire engines and only one hose
Why are they stalling ?
Bad example being safe firefighter
I've seen fire, and I've seen ice, but I never thought I'd see this. 🍦 🚒.
This is a great example of when a fire department has far too many resources. A million firefighters vs one small ice cream van.
Your comment qualifies you to receive an A.U.W.T.D.A. certificate. FDNY didn't dispatch a million firefighters for one small van. During my 67+ years in the fire service I never encountered any fire department with too many resources. FDNY dispatched equipment to extinguish a vehicle fire while protecting exposures (other buildings, vehicles and people. By the way, A.U.W.T.D.A. translated is ATE UP WITH THE DUMB ASS!
Too many resources in a city of 8 million where we're the number one terrorist target in the country? It was 2 companies, an engine to fight the fire and a truck to protect the men and women stretching the line from being run over from behind in the heavy and crazy traffic you see. We lost one FF years ago crushed on a highway from behind by a car, then 2 others from a Rescue Company hit from behind and pinned against their rig, losing their legs in the process, so the policy is to send a second rig to protect the men. And with all the high-rise occupants surrounding them in, they often get multiple calls from the hi-rise saying they smell smoke in the building, hence a chief sometimes responds depending on the call. So the bottom line is after 200 years of firefighting, they kinda have figured it out.
@@tommcl54this fire response was slow and too many firefighters was sent
What you said is pure cope over the fact that American firefighters is worse than their european counterpart, which isn’t good
Pity, all that wasted ice cream. :(
Only in New York they send 10 ff for a car fire. In our area its 1 engine and 3 guys. And still.would have had it out faster.
Not if you had to add to the bumper line, genius.
See, this is why we can't have anything nice for 5 MINUTES!
Oh the humanity
That ice cream truck belongs in the projects.
Damn can't believe that Mr softy took an L
Did they save the ice cream
The only flavor they had left was “toasted marshmallow”
@@doranbaltusit’s not ice cream. It’s hot cream
awesome job to all the fdny brother for a great on the ice cream truck
Nice work by fdny keep it up
It’s not ice cream anymore. It’s hot cream
Mmmmm....yummy
Nobody cares
HOW ARE THE LIGHTS OK
Man everything got melted including the ice cream truck
I dont really see the need for a ladder and a battalion for a vehicle fire. But oh well!
Because several firemen have been struck from behind and killed in NYC over the years, so a truck is assigned to block the rear. And with the high-rise building all around you in Manhattan, you often get multiple calls from people within the building who smell the smoke, hence a full first alarm assignment is often sent.
Additionally, exposures can easily catch fire.
Trucks have extra extraction equipment
Ice cream man: "thats the last ice cream"
me: why
ice cream man: because my ice cream truck is on fire and the ice cream is melted aaa
Looks like SweetTooth got a little carried away 😂😂😂😂
New subscriber here? Also great catch bro.
back in the day when i was on the job are old mack engines had booster lines the front it was already connected and they were grate at veh fires
I had to laugh a little because I used to show up and put out fires like this all by myself. Rural firefighting is just different.
Damn
i think i put out my own fire next time. if i call this mob there start hitting my car with axes
I could never understand why so many firefighters 🚒 for such a little job! And I do love fdny these men and women do an amazing job.
1:55 ..BRO move the line around!
Yup... that made no sense. Likely a young guy with limited experience, but the boss or backup or anyone should have nudged him and told him the front seat is out, let's find something else.
Imagine if cops took that long
heck depending on the nature of the call, they DO take that long
Mr softie is the best no doubt
Liked the film, but surely hope I never have a vehicle or property on fire in this city. So many fireman just standing, wandering about, no water in the hose and the vehicle consumed. No idea what chemical gases were released in that fire, but not one of them wearing respirators. All a bit amateurish!
That's because you don't charge a line you are adding hose to before you get the new hose connected, genius.
@@DavidGHarris518thats cope over the fact that this response was awful
@@mysticprophecy5395 so what you're saying is you don't know shit about firefighting. Got it.
FDNY Engine Company has no pre- connect hose line
Guys SCBA, prevent cancer 😢
Why so slow they should have got water on the vehicle 5 minutes before they did
Damn sweet tooth you did it again
Wow must have been a slow day in the Big Apple!
First time I've ever seen and heard of it ice cream truck on fire.
1 man working 10 men watching!! clearly over staffed.
There never seems to be a rush with FDNY, just seems a walk everywhere. Wonder if the US will take any inspiration from euro appliances having water tanks built in, adding the ability to put water on the fire within 20 seconds of pulling up as opposed to this 4/5 minutes to set up a jet.
That ice cream definitely melted
1:30 to get water! WTF!
That's exactly what I was thinking. They could of used just two fire ex to put out the fire when the arrived and save the truck,
How the hell does ice cream burn?
Make that "Sundeas Gones"...
lines being stretched , officer should have search the vehicle while the engine stretched, we don't need him for anything else, r
only show and for the rest nothing special about fighting the fire.takes ten times longer then in Holland !!
They may need to redirect about 8-10 of the firefighters when the call comes in about the taco truck fire...
Looks like the engine can be salvaged.
so all of you haters that think that you know better than the firefighters that have been on the job for years, shut the hell up!
Con este video tienen justa razón de decir que los bomberos se demoran, qué pena por el resto de nosotros!
Did somebody order a hot fudge sundae?
Hurry up men, the ice cream is melting.
That ice cream must've been lit!
Really soft serve now.
Ice cream? more like Fire cream lol
Now a hot soup truck ! 🥴
That’s what you get for trying to be better than Mister softee
they should all have there face piece on the nozzle man especially it took way to long to get water on the fire
A caught on fire because of engine problems or the samsung galaxy note 7 battery exploded
Love the armchair firefighters in this comments section.
Not in Mr Softee’s neighborhood
4 Truck, Pride of Midtown! Fried ice cream anyone?
No proper PPE
Culprit: lithium ion battery
No, it was an internal combustion engine.
Qu elle deployment de force pour un si petit feu quatorze milles perssone pour cela !!!!
I don't think they saved the ice cream . . .
Fried Ice Cream
They are slow
Something tells me that the ice cream is still ok in there 😂😂😂
Lots of melted ice cream. 🍨🍦
Looks like the members got some new turnout gear......
No hurry its gone
Gaat allemaal lekker traag……..ladderwagen erbij…….????? en de bemanning staat erbij en kijkt er naar…..ik zou zeggen, terug naar de kazerne……
Anyone want some warm ice cream?
nooOOoOoOoOoOOOOO
Wearing airpack not wearing mask illegal osha fine you and dept not mention nfpa
Sweet tooth from twisted metal come to real life
And only 2 wore their masks.
And those 2 didn't have the regulator clicked in...useless.
This is what happens when someone asks for ice cream soup but it is to cold inside the truck.
