"Fully involved" is never a term anybody wants to hear associated with an occupied apartment building of all things. I hope all the occupants/residents got out okay and can find some place to go. What a rough xmas for all those folks.
In an occupied building, how does a fire reach such proportions before it is discovered. Fire travels upwards, so it is unlikely that it started 9n the roof area. Are these apartment building stacked with disused flammable furniture and mattresses and all the fire separating walls compromised.? The city surveyors need to inspect these buildings regularly and demand actions that prevent these fires in the first place. I seriously wonder if these fires are set deliberately by the owners of the buildings to get them refurbished and made habitable via the insurance monies. What happened here seems to have little other explanation, since the fire appeared to have multiple origins. PS, I am a retired public building designer and surveyor, (London UK) and we had a few similar fires back in the 1970's. They were all deliberate or caused by gross negligence. It is sad when people are allowed to live in these conditions. Grenfel tower is a completely different story and was caused by gross criminal negligence during it's botched refurbishment. The fire was entirely outside the building and literally cooked it's occupants.
@@wilsjane I would go as far as saying it was negligent homicide given the extreme policies put in place by the government. I still feel heads needed to roll over that fire.
"Fully involved" doesn't even come close to a term anyone wants to hear. "With entrapment" is the ultimate blood rushing feeling you don't want to have or have to hear.
The apt had multiple violations at this point the owner is getting big money and the families aren’t being helped on having a place to permanently stay, plus the firefighters are like a mafia it took about 10 min later to come and it took them about 30 min to start spraying water since they supposedly weren’t able to pump the water out they had to have the whole apt burn at that point and the amount of hrs they were there for helps them gain more money shit is crazy but the families will be rewarded with something better things happen for a reason
Do they ever pull a Hose up through An exposed building,then use it from a side window on the Fire building?.In this Case it looks to be a good option since the exposed building is Catching a lot of fire..
I live in the neighboring town. There were all sorts of people collecting clothes, blankets, etc. For those affected. But the anyone know the fire's cause or why it spread so quickly?
That was one nasty fire. The fire was already coming thru the roof, which meant it was already in the walls and spreading thru the floors. Not to mention the the contents of each apt.
Went to an exterior attack fairly quickly. Heavy fire in the rear and roof prior to arrival. Anyone have a layout of the building? Single windows in front public hall?
Knowing it was Christmas time, if anyone had an actual real Christmas tree a pine tree that if not watered properly can catch fire quickly could have been the culprit. As much as I like the novelty of a real tree I feel there's so many dangers it poses to people.
Very sad to see on Christmas 🎄 Day. Sorry to know residents lost all but their lives. I am no expert but, the flames looked more intense than usual...was gas not turned off?
@@speedball10169 No one said they was , there was alot Of problems in the building the sprinklers didn’t work as well smh so no one out to blam them thank ypu
Feel sorry for all families that lost everything, so horrible. I'm no expert, but at 9:07, the ladder rig STILL was throwing water 🤔, why? From arriving, the ladder 'should have' been the 1st to move into place and pumping WATER at the blaze from just ABOVE the flames verses GROUND crew between the left side of the 2 buildings 😱. I didn't see any ground crews working the front of the building either until later 🙄. Ladder rig in proper position at front, GALLONS of water would then travel 'downward' giving a better chance of water on the structure bc last time I checked physics means water doesn't travel upwards 😎. At 12:04 the ladder in front finally started the water but 12 minutes?
it amazes me how much water is required to put the fire out. i had imagined that the fire brigade would come and it would be out in a couple of minutes. NOT
In another TH-cam video, to the left of the building on fire, a hose puncture was causing a gusher upwards. Its terrible that Government of NYC cuts budgets to Firefighters and Police. Equipment wears out or damaged.
I was starting to wonder if they were ever going to start flowing water from the ladder
Two ladders up and NO WATER coming from them! YIKES!
a fire at any time of year is sad but at christmas it just feels soooo much sadder.
So sad on a Christmas night. Prayers to the families involved.
While we are sat eating our fill these guys are in there doing it stay safe fellows 👍👨🏻🏭🇬🇧
Some of these guys look like it's their first time handling a hose line!

WOW! Tremendous Footage and Coverage especially of the Aerial and Tower ladder operations!👏
thanks very much Malcolm
@@citystreets7871 You're Very Welcome!

#1 priority when you have a fire bring WATER!

Only one stick?

Prayers going up to all the families affected 🙏🏿
great footage!
Thanks !!
Great clip! Gave it a 👍 and subscribed! Stay safe out there.
Thanks very much !
6:23 - 6:30 are those cats meowing I hear?
There really should have been 4- 21/2 inch lines @ the fronty!
Went to an exterior attack fairly quickly. Heavy fire in the rear and roof prior to arrival. Anyone have a layout of the building? Single windows in front public hall?
Is that "THEMAJESTIRIUM1" in the background? That dude never shuts up!!
Amazing how persistent the fire is! Pouring thousands of gallons of water from all angles and it just keeps going.

Great coverage but how horrible for everyone who lived there. And on Xmas Eve of all days. Sad :(
yes exactly, thanks
Ladder pipe operator got a lot of knob time.
Did we have to know this happened on Christmas?
hope all firefighters who battled this massive blaze returned home great job of the FDNY
Not fdny

@@briankeith2127 what?
This was City of Yonkers FD, not FDNY. Completely different departments and cities.

What?
Did we need to know this happened on Christmas?
🙄Wieso brennen in Amerika die Häuser so heftig..liegt das an den Baumaterial
How many families were affected?
Looks like a 12 or 16 households in that building.

The con ed wasn’t turned off so it mad it worst my family lived there they lost everything
@@charikapalma566 That building was gone long before Con Ed could have gotten there. Don't blame them, they weren't the cause of the fire.

"The con ed wasn’t turned off so it mad it worst my family lived there they lost everything" Sounds like blame to me

That building is definitely getting the wrecking ball.
yonkers want a great name. someone with a sense of humour perhaps
TOTAL CHARLIE FOXTROT!!
Where is the water takes so long too get water on it
