I live in a city of 100,000 people and my city bought a used ladder truck and then sold it less than a year later because they couldn't get it through the roads. They had about 5 or 6 crash incidents with it hitting parked cars because morons don't know how to use the driveway that comes with their house.
Having the Opticom integrated into the traffic system really helps. These D/O’s, chauffeurs, Engineers, (the various titles for the ones who primarily do nothing but drive, pump, and operate these apparatus’ have) are still bad ass and incredibly skilled to be able to mitigate the traffic and do it safely even with the added help from traffic system. You are right, it is damn amazing. Given that the vehicles are approximately 30 tons or more.
You so funny. Just watched "Cinema Therapy" review Lord of the Rings series. One guy's a therapist, the other's a director. At one of the peak emotional scenes, the director comments "I wonder how many takes it took to get that tear just right."
Fdny your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud appreciate you guys thanks stay safe out there ! Joe
Great video…. Love the Close up action, especially ladder 16, your audio is excellent as well. I like how you show the chiefs and how they attack a fire. Great job!
@@BuildItBricks No I'm not a scammer. I'm new to youtube, so I need a lot of channel subscriptions to help me get monetized on my channel. I'm sorry for bothering
I think if I had to drive one of those rigs, dealing with Manhattan traffic would cause me to crack within three months. Do the same firefighters drive every shift, or do they rotate?
@@mehrschwein7378 In alot of major cities, and especially in NYC, many drivers don't give a crap about emergency vehicles. Traffic blocking is a must it ensure emergencies can be safely reached.
I fell down a rabbit hole yesterday and started listening to the dispatcher recording from 9/11. I’m hoping someone could help with a phrase I heard a lot when units were reporting in as they arrived from all over the city. They were told “ make yourself available” I’m guessing that means find a chief? Or is it something else?
@@JazzyByJeff that does make most sense thanks. Must have been so hard just waiting at the staging areas knowing your brothers and civilians were so close and needing help.
@@danieltakawi9919 there is a 4 hour FDNY video from 9/11 of the live radio calls from that day. Just search RUclips FDNY radio or such. I guarantee you won’t stop listening. RIP all who died and still suffer from that day
Did you film this from a Moped or did you pedal it? Nice work. Someone should design a short tractor-tiller for these congested areas. A typical 58-60 ft tiller is a challenge as well. They take up half a block in places like lower Manhattan where the blocks are short. Single rear axles are not a great choice either (sorry Boston).
Are you a firefighter or have some type of agreement with them? I am always shocked how they never say anything to you when you are literally getting right in with them. Anyone else I would assume would be told to STEP BACK! But you're right with them, standing with them pointing the camera and no one says a word??
No one cut off the chief. He continued to wait for the other units, as you can clearly see them 45 seconds later responding behind engine 39 who they held traffic for.
@@FDNYResponseVideos hey there. These are amazing videos. Just subbed. These guys, and you, if you are with the department, are absolute heroes. I've always had the highest level of respect for all firefighters, but these New York guys, are built super tough. Stay safe out there!
greetings from connecticut usa. the german side of my family immigrated from herford westphalia to quincy il. in 1848 . thank you for your service in northrhinewestphalia!!!
My profesional colleagues are sometimes really upset with the drivers and traffic jams in Prague, the capital city of Czech republic. Drivers, in the most cases, would like to clear the way for firefighters, but they are not able to make it, sometimes is not free space on the road. Yes, there are also dummy, arrogant, selfish people, who do not care! I am not profesional firefighter, but only greenhorn, volunter at our small fire brigade. You have NERVES OF STEEL, BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN NEW YORK! Your engines, ladders, hydraulic platforms, safety cars are amazing! Greetings from Czech republic, stay safe and be healthy!
Hi, I have a lot of respect and always pray for the firefighters in the united states. what really gets me angry is when you all are enroute to a fire that certain people in NYC just don't want to move their vehicles. now if it's very tight quarters and there isn't any place for them to move over to I understand that. but, what I don't understand is: why do some people just ignore the fact that you all need to get to a fire or a rescue? God bless all of you firefighters in NYC,
Also I'm amazed by the number of units I see in these videos that are marked up with tape like Ladder 16 here is. Is that just a spare truck that's in service while the "real" L16 is being repaired?
@@vfdskid7834 ah well that’s a spare rig from 2002. L16’s frontline piece was out of service for maintenance at the time. That rig is rotated around the city and could be with a company for a day or a month or a year. Duct tape is usually the easiest and most cost efficient way to mark them.
So I notice that when they show up to a fire some of the firefighter go into the fire and some stand outside next to the trucks, why is that ? R they like reserve ?
It’s organized chaos. Every single firefighter on the scene has a specific job ie: can man, roof man, hose man, backup etc.....they will go to investigate the incident with a certain number of firefighters and as the rest of the responders arrive they wait until they get a report back and will go into action once they know exactly what they have. No use sending every person into a fire building. You always have fresh manpower to rotate through. I hope that helps.
Google "2 in 2 out rule." In a nutshell, it's a rule (OSHA rule, actually), that states that firefighters must enter a building in pairs and that for every pair that enters the building, there must also be a pair waiting outside the building in case rescue is required.
It's NYC. Nobody uses indicators. And its rather pointless if anyone does, because there's a vision problem caused by something in the water, resulting in a rare form of color blindness; nobody that lives in NYC sees any shade of amber or yellow, whether it's warning lights, traffic signals, road markings, or turn indicators. Only reason vehicles even have indicators in NYC is because they came stock and nobody bothers to remove them.
I've never seen a US rig with rear wheel steer; do any have it I wonder? I'm sure it would be of a benefit, particularly in congested cities. Many UK aerials have it even though our trucks are often smaller, but then again, so are our streets.

I think if I had to drive one of those rigs, dealing with Manhattan traffic would cause me to crack within three months. Do the same firefighters drive every shift, or do they rotate?
To my knowledge they have a driver that is very skilled at doing that stuff driving in those citys
They have engineers that drive the rigs and operate them on scene. Nobody just jumps in and drives.
@@Blazer02LS unless the driver is off, the next guy drives(like the nozzleman)
the engineers(chauffeurs) only job is to drive and operate the pump, it's a different guy each shift but that's his specific job on his shift.
@fbm314 it is the same guy every shift, and they do other stuff to, especially on a ladder truck or a rescue.
The idling Sound of these Trucks, beautiful !
this is the best video I have seen od firefighter response
You fire fighters are amazing, not only are you putting out fires your driving skills are terrific 😮
Knew an incident in the 70s kid pulled false alarm fireman fell off back of truck and died now firemen are in cab behind driver
How much do firemen make? They make a difference

Excellent! The real pro's at work! Great video!
That rumbler is amazing
What’s with the new Hyde park chief unit is that a dept within the city ?
It’s a department in Nassau County in Long Island. Prolly in the city for something work related.
Amazing content as always! Love ur stuff!
Incredible footage and respect from & for the firefighters 💯👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sounds so good how the motor is pumping the hydraulics
how were you able to follow the rigs so closely? are you a PR person or something like that for the FDNY?
I’m pretty sure taking video is on a bike..
He likely is well acquainted with a couple of the FDNY stations and knows a few of the guys personally
this Response Videos are closely tied to Press... many make their living with providing material to press...
Possibly connected with the photo unit?
What are they supposed to do? Call the cops on him?

This brings back memories when I was a volunteer firefighter for St.Helens Oregon
I know that this is not my company, but I was on engine 44 and on Engine 42 for years in a little town in WV. Love seeing that number.

But you're right with them, standing with them pointing the camera and no one says a word??
I was wondering the same thing, but I assume he does because you can clearly hear his radio
@@rodrigomonteromiguez6684 you can listen to the chatting if you have a radio
FDNY doesn't seem to care about recording. They know that they're popular so they just do everything knowing it's watched.
It's gonna be a volunteer because he has a department radio and not a civilian one.
Love the long horns on the front of #13
Whitch radio's they are using? And how is that roger-beep called?
The whole building went up in flames 🔥 before the firies even set up‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice video, there's not many videos of ride alongs with the FDNY
FDNY doesn’t allow ride alongs with civilians inside their apparatus
Actually, we don't allow anyone on our apparatus. Call comes in, do not want to have others on our apparatus.
He is riding along but not in the cab. He's on a electric scooter or pedaling a bicycle and tailing behind them.
