I’m sure their computer aided dispatch system really helps keep track of everything. These guys are sharp as razor blades. Admire all dispatchers under this kind of pressure. Outstanding job on this fire!
Dispatcher 312 you should get an award for the way you handled this fire, I never heard such professionalism before on a call and I listened to many calls in my lifetime and You were fantastic!!! Bob
What a great dispatcher. It is mind- boggling how the dispatcher kept things organized and handled his job. He certainly should be highly commended. Again, hats off to this highly professional FDNY dispatcher.
I've watched this video again today and listened to to Audio very closely, And I still say that dispatcher 312 should get an award for excellence in his field of work for a job well done!!! Bob
@@jeffbecker9809it’s difficult to explain this in 2024 but when first build, the lots were small and the house was built to cover 90% of the lot. In richer neighborhoods lots were bigger. My grandmother’s lot was large enough to build a garage, even though my grandparents never owned a car. This was the way houses were built around 1900.
I was a Fire Dispatcher for 18 1/2 years for the Auburn, Maine FD. Dispatched many multiple alarm fires, some intense. But not even close to what this Dispatcher is going through. This FDNY Dispatcher is top notch as well as others I've heard on other FDNY videos. The Best..
Hopefully all of the resident's were able to get out and to safety. & that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
Great job on the video , and editing!! Very nicely done!! And I agree with the other comment disp 312 did an excellent!!! Job on the radio. I was actually at the fire but more than 20 min in.
I was there yesterday 😢😢 the entire block in my neighborhood smelled like fire & smoke and i immediately ran out of my house to investigate and find out where it was happening and i smelled the strong smell of smoke and i could barely breathe and i saw the fire happening between a house in someone’s yard and it was traumatizing. House fires are seriously no joke at all.
WOW FDNY the best as always got they quick and got a handle on it real quick and that dispatcher now that is a good dispatcher there well done guys stay safe
FAD 312 is a seasoned veteran at the console. Dispatchers are assigned Call sign numbers. The closer you get to #1 the more seniority you have. As you move up you get a lower number. This gent has around 20 years on the job if I'm not mistaken.
They no longer do this. That used to be the case. 312 is very skilled, extremely knowledgeable and seasoned, but I don’t believe (from seeing him around the job) he is older than 30 let alone 20 years on the job lol
Its a service we can't live without right they deserve alot of credit tons of it let's honor and appreciate the dispatchers and the paramedics and firemen who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going strong keep great team efforts are deeply appreciated thanks stay safe and warm out there let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok right wonder what the couse is ?!!! Joe.
Do these houses on the east coast not have garden hoses and outside spigots? I’ve started fighting two fires over the years in my neighborhood with a garden hoses. Admittedly it didn’t put the fire out, but it slowed the spread and we were able to protect other mentoring structures. Is this. Not a thing back east?
As soon as I saw that car coming I started shaking my head. Ask any one of them, they think the world is theirs and the rest of us just live here. Clowns.
Chris, just found your page. Moved from Philly to Detroit. Involved in Fire Protection until my wife from Germantown and I relocated to Daytona . Really enjoy your videos. Used to live in Valley Forge until moving here. Roger
I think it is quite obvious that the FDNY members give the same level of concern and intensity to modest private residences as they do for the high-rises owned by billionaires. These men and women are the definition of dedication.
@eriksand9262Hatzalah is a volunteer EMS/Ambulance Service . Members respond to emergencies primarily in their privately owned specially outfitted vehicles
@eriksand9262A bunch of self-appointed police, firefighters and EMS of the Jewish faith. They have no real authority and very little legitimate training. They serve the Jewish neighborhoods, primarily. Almost all are of the Jewish faith. This is probably a Jewish neighborhood. The city lets them run around with red lights, sirens, and NYPD lookalike vehicles because they don't want to go up against them politically, so they just let 'em do it. Gross liability, but nobody tells them no.

Always love when a fool pulls up in a fire scene with a vehicle that has no capability to assist in the fire attack, park down the street as you aren’t as important as you think you are. Leave room for apparatus and crews who are actually doing work!
what is the function of fieldcom? They only provide communication between the dispatcher and the command post? If so, why a special vehicle? Can't there be a firefighter in the command post who will maintain communication with the dispatcher? Does fieldcom also have any tasks in communication between the command post and firefighters on the scene?
Field Comm are dispatchers assigned to the field to help relay information to the dispatchers to keep radio traffic to a minimum and to directly correlate fire ground info to and from the command post. Radio traffic in multiple alarmers like this become a lot more organized upon the arrival of field comm. They alleviate a lot of the back and forth between the Aides, who are already handling both fire ground audio and dispatch audio. Their difference is felt immensely once they’re set up.
@@bigboyhotstuffSo the filed comm is not responsible for commanding firefighters working on a fire or analyzing information between them and the command post? Is field comm only a link between dispatchers and the command post and they deal with the general analysis of the entire incident? Do I understand correctly?
@@yryzforyryz3603 firefighters do not communicate with field comma at all on the ground. Resource unit leader chiefs, fire sector chiefs and command with a command channel set up will communicate with field comm on a separate channel to keep fire ground audio/chatter ad its own separate entity. It just helps keep the fire ground audio between firefighters, officers and chiefs strictly fire ground comms, and then the pertinent information needed to be relayed to dispatch and incoming units, to be strictly that on its own channel.
I believe that field com serves a few different purposes. 1. Accountability, With that many units and personnel they establish a personnel accountability system, and I think Field Com manages that. 2. The incident commander is relieved from communicating CANs (Conditions Actions and Needs) to Dispatch. Field Com manages that aspect. I think Field Com also monitors many MAYDAY, or FF Personal Alert Systems activations
The dispatcher and paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit tons of it let's honor them your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going strong great team efforts are deeply appreciated thanks lets hope everyone is doing ok right stay safe and warm out there way to go !!!!!

To all TH-camrs that watch fire videos. This is how a fire attack is done. I hope Departments throughout the country are watching this video to learn from it.
A line of detached buildings - but almost no space between each structure. No wonder the Fire Dept. didn't find just one, but two buildings on fire upon arrival!
The box is referring to a location. Each box has a number which is related to a location and indicates which companies respond. Back in the day before telephones if there was a fire there were pull boxes locating on street corners. That would send a teletype to dispatch and firehouses and the fire companies would respond to that location to find the fire. Each box list a first alarm assignment and so on.
Four feet separating the houses??? I thank providence our legal setbacks for houses is 8 feet from the property line, so we have 16 feet of open space between houses. You could knock down every other house in this video and still not have 16 feet between the remaining houses. Death trap.
@@jays106 Well, I can understand that. City living is certainly not for everybody. I suppose your fire protection is supplied by volunteers now. Is that the case?
@@azul8811 in this town yes but there is a paid dept next town over that is usually dispatched at the same time then another 10 min out is my old dept which is a paid call dept still technically volly. i'm out in the sticks but a small town is not that far away and with our mutual aid system fire/ems coverage is actually good.
Every alarm is pretty much a call for more units Each alarm gets you an Extra 4 Engines and 2 Trucks... some alarms a few extra units Check this link for the accurate answer www.fdnewyork.com/aa.asp
I live on the lower eastern shore of Maryland a small town called snow Hill here we also deal with to many cars in the fire zone but it's usually always cops parked in front of the house are blocking the street up but I guess they somehow think they're helping what with all the extra hose n water they carry in their trunks lol
Couldn’t have said it better myself… Clueless to the wind conditions… advanced fire on arrival… Clutter… No tower ladders on the initial… pretty unreal
That dispatcher was spot on with every command, updates and follow ups. He should be commended for his work on this busy scene!!!!!
Freakin' dispatcher is an animal!!! How he keeps it all straight and organized is remarkable. A real professional.
Yes, he's very good. I'm a retired Philly fire dispatcher. If they work like us, only a senior dispatcher works an extra.
I’m sure their computer aided dispatch system really helps keep track of everything. These guys are sharp as razor blades. Admire all dispatchers under this kind of pressure. Outstanding job on this fire!
Growing up in the 70's, I used to listen to these guys, especially on the 4th of July. Unbelievable.
Dispatcher 312 you should get an award for the way you handled this fire, I never heard such professionalism before on a call and I listened to many calls in my lifetime and You were fantastic!!! Bob
Right!! He was outstanding! That was a mean fire with a lot of different elements to manage. Sorry to the people who lost their homes.
Grogan man. He don’t miss
For doing his job😂😂😂😂😂
Let's hear it for a dispatcher that talks faster than we can think!!!
Sometimes fast is NOT good....
@@mrharleyguy2u But he's fast and concise. Its a very reputable skill to have.
Dispatcher 3 1 2.... Rock star... With over 20 years in the business on the radio, I have to say you for sure rocked it...
Dispatch did a GREAT JOB...well done to all members operating
That dispatcher did an outstanding job, so calm under pressure.
I imagine that there was a bit of pressure on the fire ground as well….
He’s a FDNY Dispatcher the Best in the Buisness
What a great dispatcher. It is mind- boggling how the dispatcher kept things organized and handled his job. He certainly should be highly commended. Again, hats off to this highly professional FDNY dispatcher.
dispatcher is a super star.
This dispatcher is good at his job, and everyone responding was on point as well. Can't be in this business unless you think fast, and act faster.
Great video and excellent audio. Dispatcher in total command. FDNY does its usual great job in this dangerous fire!
Dispatcher was the legit smooth operator
F DNY always performs exceptionally well !!! Note to dispatcher : Great job handling communications !!!!
Wow, big fire. Once again, FDNY members are putting their lives in jeopardy to help citizens of NYC. They are truly BRAVE!!
I've watched this video again today and listened to to Audio very closely, And I still say that dispatcher 312 should get an award for excellence in his field of work for a job well done!!! Bob
The dispatcher did a great job. And he spoke were he could be understood! Looks as though one house was being a bit stubborn on going out. Great job!
My question ever thought it was a good idea to build houses this close together ?
@@jeffbecker9809it’s difficult to explain this in 2024 but when first build, the lots were small and the house was built to cover 90% of the lot. In richer neighborhoods lots were bigger.

Outstanding radio control by Brooklyn FAD 312

FDNY does great job all around again. That could have been far more disastrous. Great video!
Some of the best communication I have ever heard. Absolute professional across the board.
We so many fires in the city we tend to forget that the FDNY goes to "regular" house fires too. Nice work.

7 minutes in and they have the street filled with equipment I've seen fires at huge industrial plants in Texas that don't have this many resources.
FDNY 🙂
No other fire department in America has the amount of resources that FDNY has, not even remotely close.
Two houses gone 😞😔I feel so bad for the homeowners.
At 18:49 "the fire remains doubtful" What does that mean? Good video.
Means that the IC believes at the time fire going under control soon is Doubtful
It is not certain that fire will be placed under control with resources that are currently on the scene.
The calmness is this dangerous situation, well done heroes
Amazing dispatcher
Good thing that Hatzolah guy parked his car right in front of the house. Important emergency vehicle!
Good thing he didn’t pull into a driveway in order to get out of the way.
Is that the guy in the Genesis SUV with red lights
Those guys are all ego. They weren't even dispatched to the call by 9-1-1. They want to feel important and impress their fellow jews.
@@AB-NJyes
yeah he was blocking half the rd. he should not have even been there! aren't those guy like a private ems only?
So glad the guy in the car, wearing a suit, parked directly in front of the structure.

gotta love the firemen, and firewoman, they are tough, go getters and brave. I hope no one was hurt or killed.
FDNY for the win!
Great recording, I feel bad for the two homeowners.
I’m a Midwest guy….help me out. Is this balloon frame? Wondering why that fire exploded all the sudden
Probably a balloon frame with no fire blocking between floors. Throw in chases for plumbing, etc. and fire travels fast.
Yes they are.

would have been nice to observe the fireground operations rather than smoke tower, etc.
Communication was very impressive
What is “NSU” assigned on the 4th?
Perhaps it was MSU. Likely Mask Support Unit, spare SCBA Bottles I would think, or perhaps an air cascade unit to refill air SCBA bottles
Thanks, Dennis, I believe you are correct.
Dispatcher does an amazing job!!!!!
"What floor is the fire on?" "YES"
Firefighters, lock your doors.
Dispatcher kicked ass and took names on this one
That is an intense fire. Does anyone know if this was caused by an E-Bike or E-Scooter?
One of the best videos have have seen and of course that dispatcher CCC Calm Cool Collective
Video sucks. Dispatcher is great.
Why does the dispatcher keep announcing how long they have been on the scene?
He is required that he do so. Under fire conditions, it's very easy for Command to lose track of the elapsed time.
