**EARLY ARRIVAL**~**FDNY BOX 0697**~{FDNY OPERATES FOR MANHOLE FIRE WITH EXTENSION ON E 32ND STREET}

[@johnleaman9899]

JJ is wearing a baseball cap with FDNY on the front. FDNY members know him well. He knows where he can safely go, and stays out of their operational space. I can’t figure out how he funds his ventures, because he never asked for sponsorship. This from a 79 year old senior citizen who has been a full time professional firefighter, volunteer firefighter, and fire prevention inspector at Walt Disney World. Stay safe. We came, we saw, and all on utube. 🔥🚒

[@prplhz2]

Thank you JJ for recording and explaining everything. I’m here in T-Town, (Tulsa Oklahoma) born and raised in Maryland.

[@ponchbarresi3635]

Manhole fires can be very complex many dangerous aspects high voltage lines gas sewer exc Thanks for all you do FDNY is clearly the best fire department in the world

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

YES INDEED PONCH.....THANKS SO MUCH.....

[@jubelet]

Are you wearing a white hat? You seem to go wherever you want on scene. I like it!

[@johntmcguirejr3129]

That's the same though I have. Most departments ( including the police ) would run you out by being that close.
We're just the lucky ones that benefit from this opportunity. I want to give John a Big thanks for this kind of coverage.

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

I WEAR A HAD BUT THAT IS NOT THE REASON FOR ANYTHING.....I GOT THERE EARLY AND I STAY OUT OF THE WAY.....THANKS SO MUCH.....

[@richleeson2160]

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

[@johndavis6119]

This is the first sewer fire you’ve covered in a while. At least no unexplained flying sewer caps. Great video of a textbook operation.

[@azul8811]

It’s not a sewer.

[@jasonrahmaaa2008]

John. Another video well done and very interesting. As you say, when no flames, you focus on the operations. The FDNY always the very best in very dangerous complex situations. Thank you for a job well done! Stay safe. You came and you saw!

[@rushturner1911]

Great coverage once again my friend so many moving parts to this especially when it’s a manhole fire 2N2 see you soon.

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

The New York manhole fires - if I can say that - are my favorites... ("Very angry manhole." 😀 )
Thanks for uploading the excellent video, John! 🙂

FDNY HERO'S AMERICA

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

YES AND THANKS.....

[@TomDoingItWrong]

Once again my curiosity is piqued by apparatus placement. Engine 16 appears to be first in. It is parked in the middle of the street at a diagonal with a line stretched. It looks to me as though access is thereby constricted to other equipment that might need to come closer should the need arise. The street looks relatively deserted compared with many other city streets. Is there a SOP on these things? Thanks!

[@keithnichols7926]

l imagine that the duties and rituals of being a fireman in the station and at various sorts of fire-related events become traditions that are missed by those who leave the department.

[@nayanpanchal39]

Great video jj
