"100% volunteer department"... Which is ridiculous in a massive suburban area like this. They should be a 100% PAID department, with every town around them, so they wouldn't have to come from home or a job. Even my RURAL volunteer dept. is going to start a part time paid day shift for better response. There's a place for volunteers, but this is not it. The citizens need to ante up and properly fund a paid FD. Even shitholes like Gary Indiana have paid FD's. Not very well trained either.
@@PeaceToAll-sl1db Better? They should be. Faster? Almost certainly. Fires can spread incredibly quick and a paid fire service is typically going to be able to turn out at least 2 minutes sooner than a volunteer service. Arriving on scene and getting water on it those couple minutes earlier can make a huge difference depending on the fire.
thats why in germany you have what is called a "Hausratsversicherung" wich in those cases resets all what was lost in something like this aslong as it isnt your own fault.
How heart wrenching! 😰 I lost my house, everything I owned & all but 2 of my animals (the firemen resuscitated them) to a bad fire in April 2020. No matter how prepared you think you are, with fire extinguishers, safety plans, etc.. it all pretty much flies out of the window when you're standing face to face with a wall of fire! Scariest ordeal that I've ever been through.. it has haunted my dreams every night since. I basically relive it every night.. its exhausting! My thoughts are with the people who just lost their home. 🙌🏼🙏🏼
That is just awful to hear you went through that and still battle the PTSD caused by the trauma. Thank goodness your pets survived otherwise I imagine it would have been even more traumatic for you. I can't imagine the “what if’s” scenarios you’ve had to deal with also. Good luck to you and hopefully time will help heal some of the trauma.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My home burned in 1975. It was a 275 year old, former boarding house back in the war. It happened during an ice storm. I do know how you must feel. God bless you.🤗🌹
Was almost thinking the same at first. But noted the fire appeared to be on A side only. Curious to know what line was pulled first...2 1/2 or smaller. Didn't seem like alot of pressure from view. Anyway, good job on knock down.
@@77Fmydog Then stay in Oregon, please. Syosset is a NYC suburb with a volunteer FD. The response time was fine. First two companies knocked it right down. Nice work, fellas.
I live right behind that house and pieces of the house were landing in our backyard. We saw the family escape out the back door. A police officer came to our house and evacuated us in case the fire spread to our house. It’s crazy to think that if there were more wind that day our house could have burned down too.
Condolences to the homeowners for their loss. But major credit to the firecrew for a highly proficient job knocking this fire down so fast and effectively. Extremely impressive! And good camera work, too. As a professional photographer I've been on-scene for quite a few local fires myself and while tragic, it never fails to impress me the amount of work and effort the firefighters put into fighting these fires.
Looked like sloppy work to me! They moved slow and were blasting parts of the house all over the neighbors house! No technical prowess at all. Just stand there with a hose blasting water at the house. What's so skilled about that!!!!
@@vikings844 The one real fault I could see was that it took a long time for someone to check the back side of the house to see just how much was involved. The structure was probably close to a total loss by the time they arrived.
@@vikings844 its super difficult to control the hose and aim it right. they have a heavy gear. and fire doesn't just go out in one blow it takes minutes to put out a small area
The 2nd hose came at 4:20, as usual with the Americans it's a pathetic job It's either they take 7mns to deploy 3 hoses or they deploy 1 in 50 seconds and 10 guys just stand around waiting for 3 minutes after Look how Canada and Australia fight fires
It was ridiculous, with the water on board and the deck gun, a 500 gpm fire stream would have lowered the intensity of the fire by 90% in 20 seconds (1/3 of a minute) using 170 gallons. So there was plenty of water left over to finish off details. Instead, they stopped the attack, reserved space for the ladder truck and deployed a manual line, which delayed the water by about 5-7 minutes (edited video) with additional destruction of structure and contents.
@@vikings844 Ok, Vikings, I see nothing but negative comments from you, but I doubt you could do better. A house with that kind of construction and a fire that active upon arrival could easily have burned to the ground. I've seen fires like this take structures plenty of times. These guys did a good job of getting it knocked down.
I lost my partner in a house fire in the UK. It is the most horrifying event of my life, something i'm still struggling to cope with. rip my beloved Jayne Jarman Addyman, I miss you so very very much xXx.
(Photo courtesy of FASNY) Among Long Island’s 179 volunteer fire departments, there are nearly 21,000 volunteer firefighters. In Nassau County, there are about 9,500 volunteers, and while that number has remained pretty consistent over time, the factors affecting their demand have continued to change.
For the amount of fire, once they opened up the 2nd handline. They knock it down quick. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area..
I’ve been watching a lot of FDNY videos lately and I think they need to take a lesson from this fire department. That was a fantastic knockdown. One of the best I have ever seen. Great job.
Despite being so heavily populated, I know of no paid fire departments on Long Island. I don't want to knock them because they are very dedicated and professional, with many staffed by firemen from the FDNY on their days off, but in a lot of cases, the response times can't be as quick as a paid department. I lived 2 blocks away from the main firehouse in one of those towns and remember many of times how the siren would go off and the delay of trucks leaving the station. I could even tell by the engine sound, what truck was going. Again, not knocking any firemen, just the system for what people on the island pay for taxes. Even ambulances in many places are all volunteer. If you can find it, look for a series of articles called "Fire Alarm" that the Newsday did around 2008 on them. What's shocking is that these departments combined have more equipment that the FDNY and L.A. County combined.
@@DJL0455 Long Beach still has a paid engine company plus paid FFs on one of their ambulances and I think a paid driver on one of their ladder trucks. EDIT (10/24/22): This is not to say any departments on the island are mostly or fully paid outside of the airports and military facilities. Long Beach is still mostly volunteer, and every other department on the island is almost completely volunteer at least on the fire side, though many in recent years, especially in Suffolk, have begun employing paid EMS personnel too.
The most efficient Fire Dept. I have seen on TH-cam to date. I'm sure you saved a lot of precious memories and personal items for these poor people. Hats off to all involved.
I had an allergic reaction to a house fire down the street about 10 minutes before fire engines screamed past. I looked out and walked down to find the kids it the house crying. It took them another 15 minutes after arrival to do anything. The smoke became exposed fire in that time. One of those kids was my student last year. The house was rebuilt so much bigger than it used to be
That’s interesting to say. I’ve watched so many videos and I think some of the fire fighters knew they wouldn’t make it including battalion fire chief Pfizer. He was the first to go in the north tower he set up command post in the lobby. The ports authority said its above the 0 floor.
And these guys did a terrible job, but those people that know NOTHING about firefighting praise these slow pokes because they see edited film of water being applied. Not a good fire attack x 5.
@@jonathan248 Have you watched the video? If not, then do so. If you have, then watch again. If STILL wondering at that point, I will be very specific for you. And if you are On The Job and need this explained, then you should find a new career.

This edited video that jumps around still shows that it took a very long time before water touched flame. They moved police cars, a Chief SUV and their Engine, hand laid Supply lines before water from one was line used. After arrival of a ladder truck, another line was activated. I just watched a similar situation on TH-cam where the first engine activated the water canon immediately upon arrival, which had a major controlling effect on the fire. Supply lines were hand laid, then two more lines used to attack the fire.
I don’t know the size of this department but very well trained. They knocked this fire down very quickly. Everyone moved with purpose and performed their jobs without hesitation.
Your 'handle' says it all: 'You Must Be Kidding'. When I was in college in the late 70's, I worked Crash Fire Rescue at the local International Airport. We were trained to attack with everything we had in the first few moments of contact, not stand around waiting for follow-up units with a single 1-1/4" line in our hands. They had the manpower, the equipment and the water supply, everything they needed for an aggressive attack.
@@JB91710 …We know we know…deck gun blah blah blah. The reverse lay to hydrant and leaving front of house open for aerial was the absolute right move so lock it up.
From a career and volley FF, well done Syosset. That house was done before you got there. Yep, the rear of the house was intact.... from the video. That fire had fast spread throughput. Outside and inside.
I grew up in Syosset in the 50s and 60s, used to love watching the volunteers racing up to the fire house when the siren sounded! This department has been outstanding since then IMHO
I takes forever to get the water on that house. So saying not a second wasted, i not accurate. The video is even edited, so that show how long it took to get water on the fire.🤨
I've been away from the volunteer and paid fire / EMS service for over 8 years now. I see the arm chair firefighters are still here saying what was wrong and what they'd do differently. Yup, just as soon as you get outta that chair..... Honey, can ya bring me another beer?!
No occupants inside? Perfect job for the insurance company. Kudos to Command for executing an exterior attack. Minimize risk to personnel especially since the thing's gonna get torn down anyway.
What's your definition of, " right away"? Watched it again, it's edited and took closer to 3 minutes. The goal is water on the fire in less than 60 seconds. And they chose the wrong attack line ! Terrible job.
Yeah. Too many times I see big departments. Running around like Keystone Kops waiting for "orders" from command while the building burns to the ground. Priority one should be getting water on the fire! PERIOD
@@Og-Judy Many times you may see firefighter on the exterior waiting for a crew interior to do a primary search when a possible victim is inside. The reason no water is applied during that time is that water turns to steam and if there was someone trapped inside the steam would kill them.
There is no feeling like standing and watching your house burn. I watched as ours burnt in 2018. We had lived in that house for 44 years, having built most of it myself when I was 20. Our house was burnt literally to the ground. We had to go buy clothes the next day as we only had what we were wearing. We only lost a house and now have a nice new one. Worse things had to have happened that day. Someone somewhere suddenly lost a child, parent or spouse, like I say, we only lost a house. Hope the family wasn't hurt and that they had insurance.
That was the best, most efficient and effective knockdown yet I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Amazing work is an understatement!! 👍 👍 Almost a complete knockdown by hand lines even before the stick was in the air, and even getting the Truck set up was amazingly fast!
Sad to see such a beautiful house burn up so fast. The materials used nowadays just make small fires into huge fires quickly as seen with this fire. God Bless every Fire, Police, EMT, and civilians that worked to put this fire out. Keep up the great work you all do daily!!
It's the contents of our homes now too. So many artificial fabrics, foams, etc. It used to take on average almost 30 minutes for a room to flash over say 50 years ago. That's now down to under 10 minutes.
The best job of initial "Knock down" I have ever seen on TH-cam. They were smart and got the master stream, with all of it's power, involved at the outset/. Most try to fight the fire with hand lines until the roof collapses and then bring in the master stream after most of the owners possessions are destroyed. Great job!!
@@Tomallennywe need to do everything for our homeless citizens! Nobody wakes up one morning and says to themselves, "I strongly feel I need to be homeless from today on to forever!"
Watching your own house burn is never easy. My house burned in 77, during an ice storm. Our beautiful first responders did such a great job. Our home had to be remodeled, but no one got injured or killed. Thank you first responders. ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗
I experienced this! Nothing prepares u for the way your life is suddenly uprooted. It took 20 years to accumulate things & it took less than 25 minutes for me to lose it ALL! That's perspective for ya!👍
Had a home in Alta Loma CA way up Archibald Ave, last home all the way up a block long private driveway, lost it in a wildfire, came right down that mountain and my home was the first thing the fire saw, burned down two fire trucks right there in my driveway, lost everything, luckily no one was hurt and by the time it was all over and done with Farmers Fire Insurance settled for two times what I paid for the home and sold the bare property for more than I paid for it when purchased, great payoff, should have kept it - but invested in Las Vegas Real-estate and pretty much lost 80% of it - smh
Not the first time over 40 years the building at this address has been destroyed. Also looks like the whole neighborhood has undergone conversion from ranch houses to 2-stories.
I was very impressed when the first engine arrived, and several fire fighters jumped out with all their protective gear on, including the air packs. That's not how it always happens at some other departments. Thanks!
Nice attack and takedown, plus some beautiful work with your deck/deluge gun. The supply engine crew did a nice job hand-laying the 3" supply line into the tower; and it's great that this didn't turn into a "Surround-&-Drown"!
Great work by the fire department but it's shocking how quickly that fire spread. Clearly the use flammable materials in the construction of the house contributed to the raging inferno this became in minutes. A brick-built or concrete house without plastic or oil-based cladding would not have burned so quickly.
@@JB91710 and who cares about the department is in NY it doesn't matter what does matter is everyone is OK and no one was hurt but sadly they lost the whole front of the house but thank god everyone is ok
Hearing the fire engines off in the distance...one of best sound's in my opinion. I lost my house to a fire, thankfully made it out with the cat's but it was still devastating. But I could hear the fire engine's coming off in the distance and I just relief.
I loved how fast they got the ladder truck in service and how they moved it around that was great work , but with a hydrant so close why not use the deck gun and have the ff set up the supply line ?
smoke damage is unbelievable too. Our kitchen caught fire and our whole house smelled like smoke for a long time. Even after the insurance sent in a crew to remove the smell
I'm sorry for your fire loss & agree water does tremendous damage. Just learned about the Plumis Automist Smartscan sprinklers which use much less water to knockdown a fire vs traditional sprinklers. Take care.
Awesome placement and work from the bucket with the tower ladder. The Tower ladder stream stopped that fire from treating any worse and becoming a big exposure problem. Nice job Syosset and all mutual aid departments. Kudos to the Amazon driver for getting those people out. 👍🇺🇸🚒👏👏
@@ffjsb loss of any life, firefighter injury, losing homes next door to name a few. In this case, stopping fire spread as quickly as possible gives fire investigators a better chance of finding source of ignition etc, limits additional loss of property. there can still be things salvaged from other rooms isolated from the fire
"Is everyone out? Yeah I think so" Folks have no idea what kinds of critical decisions must be made with that information! Do they risk firefighters' lives to search for potential victims or just protect exposures? Awesome to see the engine leave enough room for the truck to get into position in front of the structure

I takes forever to get the water on that house. So saying not a second wasted, i not accurate. The video is even edited, so that show how long it took to get water on the fire.🤨
I saw little to no hustle in protecting the B or D exposures!
It appears the hydrant was not too far up the street and they did a reverse lay with 2 pre connects in action pretty quickly.
I've been away from the volunteer and paid fire / EMS service for over 8 years now. I see the arm chair firefighters are still here saying what was wrong and what they'd do differently. Yup, just as soon as you get outta that chair..... Honey, can ya bring me another beer?!
No occupants inside? Perfect job for the insurance company. Kudos to Command for executing an exterior attack. Minimize risk to personnel especially since the thing's gonna get torn down anyway.
Could not imagine coming home to this. So sorry for the owners.
Wow! Excellent job in putting this out! Made me tear up thinking about this families loss.
Exactly, I am happy but little sad because they have lost everything I mean the victims
Thank you camera person for not giving us one of those stupid vertical videos.
Great footage!
Water on the fire right away! Nobody standing around! Great job! Thanks first responders!
What's your definition of, " right away"?
Watched it again, it's edited and took closer to 3 minutes. The goal is water on the fire in less than 60 seconds. And they chose the wrong attack line ! Terrible job.
Outstanding. Got water on the fire and kept fighting. Too many fire departments lack in these areas.
Got water on the fire...eventually...
Yeah. Too many times I see big departments. Running around like Keystone Kops waiting for "orders" from command while the building burns to the ground. Priority one should be getting water on the fire! PERIOD
@@Og-Judy Many times you may see firefighter on the exterior waiting for a crew interior to do a primary search when a possible victim is inside. The reason no water is applied during that time is that water turns to steam and if there was someone trapped inside the steam would kill them.
Nice work to everybody involved. You handled it well. "Taking Care of Business" should be your theme song at the Syosset Fire Department.
Great job guys. Saved two house's with your quick work.
That's rocking great video
Great job by all these fire fighters, very quick knock down and very organized! Thank you for keeping us safe!
Awesome video! 👍
There is no feeling like standing and watching your house burn. I watched as ours burnt in 2018. We had lived in that house for 44 years, having built most of it myself when I was 20. Our house was burnt literally to the ground. We had to go buy clothes the next day as we only had what we were wearing. We only lost a house and now have a nice new one. Worse things had to have happened that day. Someone somewhere suddenly lost a child, parent or spouse, like I say, we only lost a house. Hope the family wasn't hurt and that they had insurance.
Great job to Syosset FD and all involved. Glad family was safe.
The efficiency of the firemen and the water pressure on that Ladder truck was awesome.
Excellent work getting the fire contained and knocked down. Radio call time 17 minutes right after the heavy fire exterior was gone.
Hey 👋 ❤😮
No matter what it's always glooks to see the prime amazon package come in clutch even when your house is on fire 💯
That was the best, most efficient and effective knockdown yet I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. Amazing work is an understatement!! 👍 👍 Almost a complete knockdown by hand lines even before the stick was in the air, and even getting the Truck set up was amazingly fast!
A three (3) second burst at 500 gpm from deck gun using 25 gallons, had lowered fire intensity by 90%, 20 seconds after applying parking brake.
You need to watch more videos, these guys didn't do a great job.
Die schönen HÄUSER und VIEL VIEL mehr🤷🏼♀️OH wie schlimm ists auf unsrer Welt🙏KARIN
Those firefighters took care of business! Great work everyone!!
Those firefighters took care of business! Great work everyone!!. Blessings to all firemen and those affected by this fire.
Sad to see such a beautiful house burn up so fast. The materials used nowadays just make small fires into huge fires quickly as seen with this fire. God Bless every Fire, Police, EMT, and civilians that worked to put this fire out. Keep up the great work you all do daily!!
It's the contents of our homes now too. So many artificial fabrics, foams, etc. It used to take on average almost 30 minutes for a room to flash over say 50 years ago. That's now down to under 10 minutes.
made in china burns fast
New homes are made of sawdust and glue
If only there were a system that the builders didn't fight each Code cycle...... Yeah, I'm talking about residential fire sprinklers!!!
@@anslowp1 Fire damage = House is trashed.. Water damage from sprinklers = Trashed
Sweet Work Fellas...Nice fast knockdown!
The best job of initial "Knock down" I have ever seen on TH-cam. They were smart and got the master stream, with all of it's power, involved at the outset/. Most try to fight the fire with hand lines until the roof collapses and then bring in the master stream after most of the owners possessions are destroyed. Great job!!
Nicely done. It’s amazing the engine didn’t stop in front of the house and block the ladder.
One of the fastest ladder set up's I've seen.
I'm so sorry to the family. Firefighters and police ty for being there for us. This is so terrible and scary.
That is why they have insurance. I feel worse for the homeless camps that get bulldozed away. WE need more housing in this country.
@@Tomallenny Oh yeah? I feel worse for the dogs and cats in those videos with the Sarah McLachlan song.
@@Cautionary_Tale_HarrisI feel the same way! Our pets are our children! I would make sure that we all got out together!
@@Tomallennywe need to do everything for our homeless citizens! Nobody wakes up one morning and says to themselves, "I strongly feel I need to be homeless from today on to forever!"
@@Mpelletier1100 True but I was mostly mocking tom allen's callus one-upsmanship.
Pffff trop beau ce camion
Quelle rapidité !!!! Bravo les mecs !!
I briefly imagined that Amazon driver stopping and tossing a package onto the doorstep.
The vinyl siding that they put on houses today are very flammable.
Had the house out in five min. Those fireman know their job !
Watching your own house burn is never easy. My house burned in 77, during an ice storm. Our beautiful first responders did such a great job. Our home had to be remodeled, but no one got injured or killed. Thank you first responders. ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗
I experienced this! Nothing prepares u for the way your life is suddenly uprooted. It took 20 years to accumulate things & it took less than 25 minutes for me to lose it ALL! That's perspective for ya!👍
Such a big and beautiful house
Would hitting it at first arrival with the deck gun slowed this fire down or even put it out totally?
Amazing response and recording!!
Great work by command and the crew!
Great work! Only a few mins after arrival they had water flowing. These guys should be hired on and payed well IMO
Great response Fire Department. No spreading on to other properties. Hopefully no casualties. Our thoughts are with the owners.
Had a home in Alta Loma CA way up Archibald Ave, last home all the way up a block long private driveway, lost it in a wildfire, came right down that mountain and my home was the first thing the fire saw, burned down two fire trucks right there in my driveway, lost everything, luckily no one was hurt and by the time it was all over and done with Farmers Fire Insurance settled for two times what I paid for the home and sold the bare property for more than I paid for it when purchased, great payoff, should have kept it - but invested in Las Vegas Real-estate and pretty much lost 80% of it - smh
Not the first time over 40 years the building at this address has been destroyed.
Also looks like the whole neighborhood has undergone conversion from ranch houses to 2-stories.
I was very impressed when the first engine arrived, and several fire fighters jumped out with all their protective gear on, including the air packs. That's not how it always happens at some other departments. Thanks!
amazed at how quickly it spread, amazed by how quickly they knocked it down. Very enlightening.
Every fire I watch, NY fire department is always the fastest!! 🤗
FASTEST!!?? What the hell video are you watching?
@@j.rcoker9051 smarten up Coker. You have zero understanding of everything regarding what occurs in this video. Zero.
Hey 👋
This was far from fastest. This was bad.
Great job, Syosset!!!
Nice attack and takedown, plus some beautiful work with your deck/deluge gun. The supply engine crew did a nice job hand-laying the 3" supply line into the tower; and it's great that this didn't turn into a "Surround-&-Drown"!
Great work by the fire department but it's shocking how quickly that fire spread. Clearly the use flammable materials in the construction of the house contributed to the raging inferno this became in minutes. A brick-built or concrete house without plastic or oil-based cladding would not have burned so quickly.
😅
The person on the tower nozzle is dangerous, wildly all over the place!
A remarkable job these firemen did. Very quick response after arrival, good job guys.
Ooopsie! Someone said the bad word "firemen" Could be triggering for some.... Ohhhhh ohhhhh ohhhhh! lol 🤣🤣🤣
Thats such a sorrow to watch, such a nice house! Stay vigilant and responsible people! And God bless the firemen, for their job!
That’s a great knockdown , lucky residents to have an FD that efficient
@@JB91710 and who cares about the department is in NY it doesn't matter what does matter is everyone is OK and no one was hurt but sadly they lost the whole front of the house but thank god everyone is ok
The first crew on seen was grate. came out the gate gear on ready to go. water on the fire 2.5 min. very damn good.
Hearing the fire engines off in the distance...one of best sound's in my opinion. I lost my house to a fire, thankfully made it out with the cat's but it was still devastating. But I could hear the fire engine's coming off in the distance and I just relief.
Good first in. You can stretch hose, you can't stretch ladders. Front of the building belongs to the truck.
That's not going to rub out! 🚨🔥
Yeah
Wow, got it knock off within a short time. Impressive, real impressive.
I loved how fast they got the ladder truck in service and how they moved it around that was great work , but with a hydrant so close why not use the deck gun and have the ff set up the supply line ?
EXACTLY!!!!
Iove the work you are doing ❤❤❤
Having had a house fire myself unfortunately the water does almost as much damage as the fire itself.
smoke damage is unbelievable too. Our kitchen caught fire and our whole house smelled like smoke for a long time. Even after the insurance sent in a crew to remove the smell
what was the cause?
I'm sorry for your fire loss & agree water does tremendous damage. Just learned about the Plumis Automist Smartscan sprinklers which use much less water to knockdown a fire vs traditional sprinklers. Take care.
A perfect application for the deck gun.
These guys kicked some rear end there! They made ultra quick work of that fire.
Perfect set up for a deck gun
Awesome placement and work from the bucket with the tower ladder. The Tower ladder stream stopped that fire from treating any worse and becoming a big exposure problem. Nice job Syosset and all mutual aid departments. Kudos to the Amazon driver for getting those people out. 👍🇺🇸🚒👏👏
What's worse than a total loss???
@@ffjsb loss of any life, firefighter injury, losing homes next door to name a few. In this case, stopping fire spread as quickly as possible gives fire investigators a better chance of finding source of ignition etc, limits additional loss of property. there can still be things salvaged from other rooms isolated from the fire
@@wlmckinnon well written! Thank you! God bless you!
"Is everyone out? Yeah I think so" Folks have no idea what kinds of critical decisions must be made with that information!
Do they risk firefighters' lives to search for potential victims or just protect exposures?
Awesome to see the engine leave enough room for the truck to get into position in front of the structure
Man, that ladder truck has some pressure! If my house needs new trim, I’ll just hire these guys to blast off the old stuff! Great job firefighters!
amazing work
