Actually they are the most loved and respected of all our government or essential services institutions. They help control the ravages of nature itself and consistently help others cheat death.
Thank God we did not lose anyone that day. Multiple friends of mine did get hurt, burned, etc. Very difficult fire, advanced on numerous floors when my brothers got there.
This is truly breathtaking. It amazes me how much I think, or assume I “know” what *I* would do in such a situation, which is a essentially a completely uneducated bunch of dreamlike B.S., and what these pro’s are actually DOING to control what looks like a very very big, serious, dangerous, and difficult fire. I’ve heard these guys live for this kind of challenge, and I think I understand that…But I’ll never really, truly understand putting my own life at risk for others I don’t know, like these guys do. The bravery, the professionalism, the “get it done” attitude, mixed with, what I assume is a bit of “crazy”, is to be admired and respected, big time. Thanks, FDNY. Truly breathtaking stuff here. Please stay safe out there. God speed.
What he said! And not only the FDNY, but all firefighters, out there, putting their lives on the line to save others.... They are the true heroes of this world, as I always say...
Thank you for posting this. I came out of the subway after this fire was put out and saw all the fire trucks on Montague. I had NO IDEA the fire was this bad.
New York Fire Dept is a very traditional organization. Alot of the Firefighters do not where SCBA when they should maybe there just be hard core and like being a smoke eater. With the amount of Firefighters called to respond to this fire there is absolutely no reason not to protect themselves. There is plenty of relief units there to rotate personal out of the smoke and also they probably have the best air resupply unit in the country. So get your 20min of good air get out grab a full bottle and jump right back in. That what relief is about air and getting people rehydrated and rest. This makes sense in my opinion.
I had the pleasure of getting randomly paired up with a NY fireman playing golf in FL. I am a FF in the Washington. We are to have SCBA on whenever there is a risk of smoke going in our lungs, even for brief moments. We have backup bottles galore and trucks to fill them if those run out. I asked him why they don't wear them when they should. It is a culture. It will kill many of them. He said their policy is (or was at the time), when your bottle goes empty, you are done on the fire...period. And they don't want to be made fun of for sitting out a firefight. It is an insane practice. The cancer risk is off the charts if they don't protect their lungs. I just don't get it.
Smoke banked down to the street. So your first due engine on the fire floor waiting for water. Now you have to push through five rooms of fire. Are you telling me you have to mask up in the street? By the time you make the first room you’ll be out of air. Now what ! Your on the 5 Th floor with the truck coming in behind you. Ya gotta plow through them. Now your out in the hall way. Ya gotta get through second due engine and truck. Square coming up and rescue. Oh yeah! Ya just jump back down to the street. Find your rig . Change tank . Jump right back in. Masking up as soon as you smell smoke ain’t gonna make it in NYC
@@jhamil4622 Stupid answer, just when you see the zukünftiken cancer deaths in the video on the roof, that is, with all due respect, brainless and an example of how not to do it, unless you want to die at 50, but for that you were then 30 years a great guy, great!
@@jhamil4622 That sort of thinking is just wrong first spare bottles do not need to be changed out in minutes I have worn a full bottle for up to 45 minutes. Spare bottles can and are carried on apparatus that is situated on the fire ground with easy access to by firefighters and can be changed out during rehab when crews are changed out. At 6:46 is the sound of a low air warning if that happens the firefighter is required to exit the structure and have the bottle changed out. There is absolutely nothing wrong with following the NFPA regulations. Cancer is not at all any fun. I have a friend in my building who is dying from primary site (lung) cancer. He is in lots of pain and wasting away because of the cancer.
@@davidlenzi3551 If you are not from the region you cannot understand this thinking. It is just one example of the grit and determination and yes maybe stupidity that makes NYC and the region what it is. These are men that simply love the job and quite frankly live to work not the other way around. Also FCNY has units that do nothing but refill bottles there is basically and endless supply.
I just love the way FDNY overwhelms the fire scene with equipment and manpower!! Excellent training...Excellent equipment!!! People of NY you are in good and capable hands!!
Look at that. _Once again_ , guys are f'n around for over 30 minutes trying to fight from inside, and yet the fire gets worse- then they finally put 2 bucket hoses on it from the outside and it's considerably better in less than 5 minutes. And on smaller structures this would apply even more.
NY might just have one of the hardest FD jobs with the # if high rise bldgs, older bldgs coupled with narrow streets and heavy traffic it's a miracle more bldgs don't burn to the ground.
I’m sure it’s tuff but it’s no different in the rural setting!! One or two guys if your lucky no water supply!! Old equipment!! They all have their pros and cons !! All equally as tuff !! City codes and politicians have made it this crowded in large cities without thinking about fires or life safety!! They just see dollars!! It’s cool to see an army of firefighters show up !! They have so many resources!!
It’s not unusual to be unable to actually see the operations taking place inside the building when your vantage point is outside the building. Some of those operations involve the deployment and operation of interior hose lines.
Goes to show knowing which unit is where and knowing who is in which unit and where they are is crucial. The commanders demonstrated this is perfectly ot it could have been much worse.
I miss NY so much sometimes. listening to these absolute pros doing their thing. but what I miss is hearing "new york", I'm in Chicago and people around here sound midwest, it's weird. however, new york people always sound like they're pissed at something. it's fucking great.
Little further into the Fire maybe you should check with the third-floor arrest girl see if they can still hold that third floor right in the tower ladder is hitting it like the battalion or deputy, said how they doing on the third
I'm interested in any advances of sending equipment into the more dangerous fires instead of fire fighters. Thank you to all that do rush into the burning building and stay safe
Firefighters are something like Marines.. You have to have no Fears to run forward into a burning building 🙌🏾 🙏🏾 💪 👍🏾 👌🏾 THANK YOU FOR THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE
Masks have enough air for 45 minutes And 10 minutes of escape air so fireman only have about 30 minutes working air So they conserve as much as possible
@Steven Kelley it takes 15 seconds to change an air cylinder. If you can smell it it's giving you cancer. Plain and simple. Modern fires are so incredibly toxic.
How much oxygen do the firefighters have or how long does it last? I assume they rotate them when it is getting low with another team as you could not possibly breathe those fumes however does each firefighter need to monitor or is it fed back to command?
Yes. The department now has a drone unit called the “command tactical unit”. Their purpose is to use drones to obtain aerial shots of the fire building & provide thermal imaging from above to give the IC a better picture of the entire scene. After all, you can’t see everything from the street.
I truly don't understand why they don't put their scba on the roof with all the evidence of cancer from smoke ? they got it on their back, why they don't put the mask on?
caues they cant hear or communicate 100% when you need 100% of your scene's like watch the hole, shaft or ice on the goose neck .or spongy roof. while saws are running. its wood and tar. aint gonna kill you. stay up wind. so do you truly understand now. or you could wait for all the doctors to comment on my answer.

Now the fire has progressed massive delay because of the statement we can get the third-floor you’ve had men trapped I collapse, attempting to get man out in the mayday situation now and Fire is just rolling. Can you hit it 20 minutes ago as deputy said this wouldn’t be happening. Where is your lack of chain of command what happened to city of New York fire?
Thats certainly a well done Job by the FDNY but I don't understand the crews working on the roof (as seen from 34:50) not wearing their breather masks! I'm a trained firefighter and we do wear our masks as soon we come close to the smoky area. Just to protect our own health! It can get very dangerous down the road over the years.
Why isn't anything be done about sprinkler systems in these buildings think of the lives effected property damage I'm sure it can be done its about $$$$ and greed
What don’t the members understand when the chief says back out there’s no argument no discussion no we can get it or you can get yourself killed just like that ceiling that went out in the stairwell. He previously ordered you out 10 minutes past November working out at what difference does it make wagon tower ladder up to the third fourth and fifth floor or the fourth and fifth floor my brothers lives are more important than stupid. Happy chief wear their asses out
The truest example of New York's Finest, FDNY Firefighters and EMS units. Well done as usual!
As I have said many times earlier, I sincerely believe that all firemen are immeasurably underappreciated!!!!!!
Actually they are the most loved and respected of all our government or essential services institutions. They help control the ravages of nature itself and consistently help others cheat death.
Yes they are

Why risk lives when you have equipment that can really throw the water on the fire ? 🤔
That's a good job right there...I thought the interior teams had a shot to put the entire fire out but that mayday took too much time.
One thing I have decided after watching these videos: I do not want to live in a building with a cockloft!
Show me a building without one. Cockloft also means attic.
110 to 110 roof . 110 roof? What’s your location? Roof🤨😂😂😂

Excellent coverage of this job
I can smell the smoke at the federal court house
I didn't see any water in use until 11 minutes into the video. Is that normal?
It’s not unusual to be unable to actually see the operations taking place inside the building when your vantage point is outside the building. Some of those operations involve the deployment and operation of interior hose lines.
You can see water shooting out of the building at around the 1:08 minute mark.
The firefighters 🚒 on the ladder 🪜 and the roof surely they should be wearing breathing apparatus
Aren’t these structures remodeled? Aren’t they supposed to have a sprinkler system?
Goes to show knowing which unit is where and knowing who is in which unit and where they are is crucial. The commanders demonstrated this is perfectly ot it could have been much worse.
It seems to take an age to get things done,
excellent video
BEAUTIFUL video
wow amazing job to all the fdny for doing a great job on the fire
Wow that’s a crazy fire hope nobody hurt great video tho
I miss NY so much sometimes. listening to these absolute pros doing their thing. but what I miss is hearing "new york", I'm in Chicago and people around here sound midwest, it's weird. however, new york people always sound like they're pissed at something. it's fucking great.
between the radio noise and those new york accents, i dont know how they can understand whats bein said.
Amazing drone shots!
where's the water? I know there is a strategy but what is it
Multiple lines from the interior for the first half of the video, multiple lines from the exterior during the second half…
The strategy is: Put the fire out
Don't be so concerned because the water is actually wet at all times. FDNY does have a DEHYDRATED WATER SUPPLY on certain rigs.
Thank God for the FDNY.

flat roofs are a nightmare, yes there is a Attic or crawl space... great place for fire to spread hard to put out.
Well Played....Congrats!!
Interesting to hear the comms.

Why carry hose all the way up to the roof wind You got tire ladders that could be working on it and you don't need that many guys on the roof

And 10 minutes of escape air so fireman only have about 30 minutes working air

15 to 20 minutes of air depending on your pace of breathing due to workload and such. There is an alarm on the SCBA that goes off when low air.
Our hands slip and yes
