- ~5th Alarm~
Date: St. Patrick's Day 2022
Location: Main Street, Flushing.
At around 6am on Thursday passerby's called 911 to report smoke coming from a commercial building on Main Street. This commercial structure held many different smaller shops divided inside. Ladder 129 arrived on scene, quickly gave the 10-75, got their saws, and began to force entry. Engine 273 stretched a line and began extinguishing visible flames. The fire quickly made its way into the walls and voids spreading rapidly. A second alarm was transmitted by Battalion 52, Division 14 would transmit the 3rd and 4th. Multiple Tower Ladders were set up to douse the flames along with hand lines from adjoining roofs. The busy Flushing morning commute ground to a halt while the FDNY operation continued.
Speaking as a retired Nurse, I wish that all Firefighters that are visibly in smoke conditions fighting the fire would where their protective masks. Lord knows what cancer causing agents are in these old buildings. It brings me to tears when I see older Firefighters suffering with cancer. It does happen even to those that don't expect it. It is an aweful disease that takes its toll not just on the person who has it but the entire family, including children. Great job by all these Firefighters, but remember to protect yourself so you can come home to your family. God Bless!!
The best videography ever. God bless the FDNY, City Streets, and Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
you can get good shots when you can get inside & close. You don't always need the best equipment but it does help
Penelope maynard.. happy st Patty day
Damn, that could have had at least a dozen flash overs that never happened. Amazing
Wow! Awesome Footage and Coverage!👍👏
God Bless these Fire Fighters. The are worth their weight in Gold.
That sounds like the dentist office. Ouch!
Love this channel no talking just lets the sounds of the scene come thru and nice shots
Thanks very much 👍🏻
Incredible coverage of the fire scene and another outstanding job by the NYFD, NYPD and all First Responders 💪👍👍👍
Hell. This scene still reminds me of the LAFD flashover on May 16, 2020. Luckily a flashover didn't happen here as well. this smoke is just waiting. stay safe everyone.
Amazing coverage !
21:12 ....GOD BLESS THAT FIREMAN ON THAT CRANE LADDER THINGY, consumed by the smoke ..OMG bless his heart
Aerialscope is the Cadillac of tower ladders. I'm proud to say they're 100% hand made in Wisconsin. And we here are proud that FDNY trusts them with their lives.
Hahaha! Nothing is 100% made any one place. Seagrave is located in Clintonville so they are assembled in WI. But I agree the Aerialscope TL is a rock solid platform to work from. It's an old design but it works.
Thank you Fight Fighter stay safe 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲🤲
40 million gallons of water ????
Your videos provide really good coverage. Right up there with On Scene Videos, and FDNY
nice coverage thanks for sharing
What an amazing video. Great great great job shooting this. Perfect camera location and really good editing. Thank you. And once again, the most skilled work force in the world out there doing it ! FDNY pride !
Thanks so much William.
FDNY are the best!
The word in the street is that one of those stores that deliveries were charging those delivery electric scooters and one or more than ore caught on fire overnight. This means the FDNY was battling a chemical-electrical fire. Very difficult.
wonder who the owner of the shop..
me going to buy Popeyes be like
Nice vid. Can’t beat a multi alarm, multiple Tower Ladders in action. Pretty intense fire.
happy St. Patrick's day to anyone that's watching the video
Happy Saint Patrick's day dude, cheers from L.B.I.N.J.
@@potatolew4495 thanks dude cheers from Michigan
Struck by Chinese lightning.
great smokes...that could be a nice selfie pic.
Hats off to you guys but nyc needs to address the water problem
Wow that fire is rippin!
And emperor deblazio fired a number of fire fighters
What a asshole he was
Can’t put out fires if you don’t put water on it
Good work men!
Chinese massage rub shop join background.. I guess no happy endings
That corner where Popeye is just suffered a huge fire not long ago. Damn that block gets no luck on fire!
Quite surprised seeing ladder 127 right at the front of the fire building. Since their house is located in jamaica queens; and this fire is in flushing ?? Pretty far away from their first due area.
why so many smokes.. need that much water? i go to that area some times..
Dude that firefighter in that smoke can’t get cancer ??? Where is the mask man
KUDOS TO NYC BRAVEST AND FINEST !!! THEY ARE THE BEST DOING WHAT THEY DO !!! SAVING LIVES !!! I TRAVEL THIS ROUTE DAILY TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. MY HAT GOES OFF TO YOU !!! I'D BE SCARED AS HELL BATTLING A FIRE, LET ALONE BEING TRAPPED AND INVOLVED IN ONE !!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO AND STAND FOR, BRAVERY.
blessings
Why are so many guys standing around?
I think they have teams from different areas that do specialized jobs depending on the Commanders' instructions. I assume they go in for specified time periods and stand by to relieve the team before them or their orders. For example at other fires I have seen they have men on roof-tops, and rescue teams, but I did not see any on the roofs of nearby buildings.
What happened to this once great channel?
I got a new job =) I’ll be back at some point though.
One of the smokiest incidents I've watched. Smoke has killed more people than fire itself ever will. This video reminds me why I got out of FFing. It's mostly tedious as hell.
I never see anything like this ohh mine
Can anyone tell me the FDNY's SCBA policy? Is there even a requirement to actually WEAR a facemask? In 25 minutes of incredible video (and many others like it), I saw ZERO masks being worn although most of the FFs and even white helmet Chiefs were wearing a BA. Multiple times the aerial crews disappeared completely disappeared for extended periods of time into the thick smoke. Are the egos or tradition so strong that good men and women will haul around a BA but never use one? I do have to admit, I was encouraged when FF Pappaccio opened the valve on his tank @17:48 but who knows if he ever went on air. Probably not. These men and women (and all FFs) are brave FFs dedicated to saving life and property. I just wish they would protect their own by wearing the PPE they carry around on their backs!
Their chief officers must eat well! Lol
Damn NYC stay with them multi alarm fires
five alarms seem to be a little bit much for this. The only reason they didn't go to six is they ran out of standing room.
Probably because of the possibility of fire spreading to adjoining buildings.
Please Lord, not the Popeyes!
FDNY. Best job in the world.
Wonder how many crunchies (rats..... size of cats) running from the building..firefighters stepped on... all food stores Popeyes, bakery etc
I saw it and I was confuse and I saw so much fire trucks
That building was the location of Wendy’s in the 1990’s, where five employees were murdered. After that incident Wendy’s closed that store. The perpetrators were former Wendy’s employees who robbed the store and tried to cover up the crime by killing the staff.
Can they move the tower ladders from the top too or just the bottom?
You can control them both from the bucket and the platform but some times the controls in the bucket lock out
A question, at which point was the building a total loss? Oh, sorry, the answer was obvious. The exact moment FDNY arrived.
With all the personnel present standing around, pushing uncharged hose around, trying too untangle them, they could, as a unit lifted the structure and placed it on empty land, then watch it burn. This would have caused little disruption to residents.
these are what fire men do... they dont do this every single day..
Just an observation.. the guys in the tower ladders in the middle of the smoke with no SCBA…. Should be noted so in 10 years insurance claims and lawsuits can be denied /dismissed. Guess the tank o their back and the mask hanging off them is just for the cool factor….
Jesus saves
Never overcharge your batteries
That's the building that WAS Wendy's where during a armed robbery at closing time in 2000, I believe 7 employees were shot execution style in back of head with 5 of them dying at that moment and 2 luckily survived! It's called the Wendy's massacre.
yes very sad day -
Yes and that guy made 5000 dollars only
Next door.
Too bad he missed the first hour of the fire
5 alarm blaze.....not 5th alarm blaze
Literally the same thing
We shall always disagree. I like 5th alarm.
5 bagger
Ok💤😄😄
Flu shing.....fire and rice
What a keyboard warrior.
