@@SuperQdaddy easy there Fatty daddy , there are always stupid comments made by volunteer firefighters or people who push computer keys all for a living
is it ? was it ? Something to be said about uneducated ignorance like your comment. It probably take you 10 min to walk to the fire room in street clothes let alone making water connections and dragging hundreds of feet of hose, weighing hundreds of pounds in turnout gear, breathing SCBA, and in zero visibility you dumbass! Good thing dept like this exist to save morons like you!
I'd say the opposite is true - it's one of the most difficult cities to be a fire fighter - thanks to the FDNY it looks so seem less and simple - but that's because of their efforts and efficiency. Since NY is so crowded, high buildings, old buildings, etc. this very tough job becomes a lot more dangerous. Perhaps all these factors make FDNY the best fire fighters on the planet - would you agree?
@Sky Shark Media FDNY are slow and inept?? You really are a jerk off , and I'd say a moron , where do u get your vast experience to make this analysis?
Amazing at how many of the FDNY's rigs showed up for this fire: Ladders, Engines, Squads, Rescues. Any fire requires a lot of equipment when in Manhattan.
Tommy Fraustro Appreciate the info. My hometown only has 2 Ladder Companies and 4 Engine Companies with two more Engines as Auxiliary. I'm not sure we have a third Ladder Company as Auxiliary as well... Most of our backup comes from the neighboring fire departments in the surrounding townships. Also, I figured some of those sirens I heard were the FDNY EMS Bureau's response as well with the Major Emergency Response Vehicle (MERV), it's partner Logistical Support Unit (LSU) vehicle, and several of their ambulances along with those from participating hospitals like St. Luke's-Roosevelt and New York Presbyterian.
It’s no so much about the equipment as the manpower... even the most fit and healthy guys get a good 15-20 minutes of work in before command tries to switch them out for rehab.
I think this was more than a full first alarm (4 engines, 2 ladders, battalion chief and Rescue-if it was Manhatten, most likely Rescue1), plus special calls for additional rigs like a mask service unit, EMS and a division chief. Yeah, I may live in Nebraska, but I've always been an admirer of the FDNY ever since I read "Report from Engine Co. 82". I grieved when they lost so many on 9-11-01.
To:Dustin Harris:Can you believe that your video New york city fire in Hell's kitchen is still one of the most popular videos in 2018? That's so amazing, Have a Happy New Year!
Love all the arm chairs...remember, you're watching a fire on TH-cam because you can't remember when your last one was. Tough to criticize guys that fight more in a year than what most will see in many years. Sit back and admire the work. Nobody gives a rip about your negative analysis...
@gmcbuses A garden hose is not going to do crap on a structure fire. Period. There's not enough gpm's to overcome the heat, and you can't get any penetration to the seat of the fire. The fire is spreading horizontally and vertically as well. Not to mention your likely to be smacked in the head by burning debris. A garden hose on anything bigger that a small dumpster is pointless.
I watch this for inspiration. Everyone needs to watch our 1st Responders in action & hear THEIR side of various situations. Much love to our 1st Responders 💗💗💗💗
Yep. If you hit the fire outside through the window, the air in front of the streme of water is actually feeding and pushing the fire back through the building. We want to use it to our advantage and push it out the window.
NYFD is awesome. One of only 3 fire departments that I have seen that RUNS to the fire if there are people to be rescued. I could never be a fireman, I can only sit back and watch in amazement at their courage and determination.
+John Lovett No doubt the FDNY is a very aggressive fire dept. but as a professional fire firefight I take offense to your comments.Across the country we all do the same job with the same Amount of skill and aggressiveness. Please don't short charge other FF's
Philip Sykes no i wasn't trying to short change any other Fire Department or any other members just simply implying that the FDNY is much more aggressive then most others
Most departments are governed by other agencies or have their own Standard Operating Procedures that prohibit how they attack a fire. As a volunteer for three and a half years I will say that when ever I got on the scene and reports were made that people were still in the building, you couldn't get masked up fast enough to get in that building before some one took your spot.
Philip You're right. People put to much emphasis on popular initials like, FDNY, LAFD and CHFD. A fire department is only as good as the Work Ethic of the individual fire fighter. If you took someone from any other department and put them in a FDNY uniform, that person would be no different. Have a mediocre person get on the FDNY department and they will not Instantly turn into a Super Hero.
Gotta love the response. Immediately after the first due engine arrived multiple other units are on the scene within seconds with about a dozen firefighters literally racing to the fire. Just over three minutes and they got water on the flames. As a New yorker I'm glad we have the hundreds of pieces of apparatus and the 11+ thousand members that help this city stay safe and keep running.
I think its really funny how ignorant the public is. For someone who has never been employed in public safety, its funny to hear some of the stupid comments. The people speaking in this video are perfect examples. All they know is that when you dial 911 someone comes. They have no clue as to how the 911 system works or the countless hours of training our police firefighters and dispatchers endure to keep us safe. Nor do most care as long as someone shows up quickly.
Christ on a bike, that woman's annoying. There's always one gobby bint that thinks she knows better than everyone else. I'd like to apologise on behalf of us women who trust the firefighters to do their job and don't stand there flapping our gums about the techniques involved. Also, living in a tiny Scottish village in the arse-end of nowhere means I've not seen a fire like this before. The smoke alone was terrifying enough and I am in awe of all firefighters who risk their lives to save others. I'm an emergency responder and so is my husband, but we aren't firefighters - no way josé lol! Those dudes are bad ass!
The two best lines in this video are the video taker and guest. At 8:57 - 09:03 Video Taker: "Sign is on fire" person with video taker "You know what..he needed a new sign anyway".....funny stuff. Oh...and FDNY is best in the business...they responded to over 20,000 structure fires in 2012..they get a lot of practice folks :)
My understanding from a member of FDNY who responded to the fire was that it was likely an electrical fire. I cannot speak to the potential drug abuse of the family involved but a neighbor at the scene told me the residents ran the store below the fire. He also mentioned that they had been in the neighborhood at that location for a long time. It must have been tragic to lose both their home and to suffer extensive damage to their store in the same fire.
Horrifying to have to endure a fire like this. This is literally my worst nightmare. I wasn't even scared to go into combat but even the thought of going through this ,I can't put that fear into words. The men and women who willingly go into blazes to save life and property really are heroes and have my greatest respect.
Looking at Google street view in 2020, the building's fire damage was repaired - new windows, new store awning, and bricks cleaned, all on the outside. Some faint soot stains still show on the lintel above the window where fire was shooting out.
Bless the fire fighters and the people who lived in that building. I couldn't help but wonder what it was that used to be painted on the side .....you could still faintly see the outlines.
notice the guys on the first engine no panic just a time to work attitude your witnessing a dying art interior firefighting the fdny continues to set the bar great job from and keep on setting the standard fom local 1 pittsburgh
+Jordan Durham Either you are a kid or trolling or you are very ignorant to how fire scenes are actually handled outside of the movies or TV. There is water on the fire within 3 minutes of the the first engine arrival, either way nobody including the FDNY really gives a shit about your horribly inaccurate, unqualified assessment, but of course everybody likes to play arm chair quarterback. Feel free anytime to come here to show the GREATEST dept in the world how you would handle this.
+Jordan Durham Let me guess. You live in the UK right? There always seems to be one tool coming on here beaking off about how amazing UK fire departments. I've watched some videos from there myself and haven't seen anything to be impressed by.
They didn't "look up in awe" its call doing a quick size up... building height & construction, location of he fire ,floor , windows, and fire escapes , all in a very quick size up of the situation as your walking into the building .
I've got the FDNY Manhattan radio for this particular fire. It was in E54 and L4's first due originally put out for W48th & 10th Ave for a fire on the 2nd floor w/ multiple calls.
Obviously not even a novice... You don't put a hose into the window, that would spread the fire into the building. They had to go inside, upstairs and into the apartment to hit it from the inside. They did this in about 3 minutes from arrival and that's great.
Hello, sorry for my English. First, compliance with New York firefighters. I'm french and fireman in a barracks doing 11,000 operations a year. Our techniques are very different. I was surprised by the location of the first truck. Why put it in a window on fire? Is this normal or a mistake?
Interior / Exterior Attack at the same time is a no-go youre right, but directing a stream a litte above the fire floor window would stop the fire from jumping to the next floor trough the windows.
How i wish my homeland would get to this level of response by emergency apparatus. Its a pity to note that the city council of Nairobi has one fire truck on standby which takes ages to respond to a distress call.
It turns out that geographically the nearest firehouse to this location is actually Rescue 1, just five blocks south. Engine 54/Truck 4/Battalion 9 is only two blocks east, and Engine 34/Truck 21 is ten blocks south.
we dont attack from outside fella we vent and let the fire come to us its a very effective way ok the roof is breached to vent but a brownstone staircase acts like a chimney so we gotta release all the hot gasses good comments anyhow fella regards from brooklyn serving brother F.D.N.Y.
Yeah, that's what is seemed like. And it was an all hands fire so it was some serious bussniess, and I'm sure they weren't happy to see a bunch of people blocking them.
Looks like the OV from 21 truck did some nice work.. you can see him entering the FE with fire just starting to roll out the window. I'm sure he got atleast that bedroom done before the engine started their push. Nice work brothers
@longislandy Obviously you are not watching the video. What I"m saying is right. There is always something to learn. A garden hose from the store could of been used to get water, through that window minutes before they came.
What you saw in the beggining is how turbulant that smoke is the thinkness of it the volume and speed and then flames rollin out. Thats called flashover everything in a room reaches the ignintion temp and catches fire. Thats why smoke changed and also the flames began comin out faster
Never. Flowing the hose through the window is a bad idea, when we open the hose up, water comes out, but it also pushes air out. If we put it through the window, we are not only feeding the fire, but pushing it through the building rather than stopping it. We need to go inside and push it out the window, instead.
This just came up in FH Mag on line; question, should 54’s go past the entrance on the 4 side to let Truck 21 commit there also? Not sure how the fellas do things up there and this is not a negative comment but just curious…….Be safe Brothers!
@gmcbuses I must disagree, if you shoot water into an opening thats venting, you push heat and fire back on to the victims and hinder any interior attack. Its good that the window is venting because the color of the smoke indicates the fire is starving for oxygen, notice how the smoke lights off when the air fuel mixture gets right. Let it vent, attack with a 21/2 from the hall door and push it out the window. The truck co. should be above checking for extension or victims.
Living rural i understand bars to keep the bad guys out but in a fire can you pop them off from the inside so you can escape? I dont see bars on these windows but i go to CCI on long island and doing the cross bronx every window is barred.
@gmcbuses Your right, a garden hose COULD have been used. And it would have been absolutely USELESS. Any basic firefighter knows you have to put enough GPM's on the fire to overcome the BTU's being produced. And a garden hose would get you about 5-10 gpm's at best. You might save the window frame, that's about it. This fire needed AT LEAST 150-200 gpm's!
Funny thing is, you wouldn't dare to show up to 782 8th Avenue and say that to any of the Brothers' faces............You'd be spitting your teeth out tough guy. Keep being an internet tough guy, that's all you're good for.
This is an amazing display of teamwork and devotion in the FDNY. You have no idea how good if feels to watch this.
Gotta love the sidewalk firemen...they should do this, they should do that..just be quiet and watch the greatest FD in the world do what they do best.
Are you kidding g me..they were just observing..your comment is what sucks
Yep best in the world.. only took them 5mins to finally get water on that fire..

Amazing at how many of the FDNY's rigs showed up for this fire: Ladders, Engines, Squads, Rescues. Any fire requires a lot of equipment when in Manhattan.
Erik standard response for a 10-75 (working fire) is 4 engines, 3 trucks, 1 rescue, 1 squad and some battalion Chiefs.

At least it wasn't frozen
Thanks for video . Something exiting always happens in my neighborhood !
They got there in like thirty seconds, that's what I love about our fire department.
And here we see the first engine screwing the second main unable to put theirs up by stopping short and not moving past the structure.
Haha, yeah, and when they got there, the firefighter in the back got out, looked up in awe, and ran to work.
They didn't "look up in awe" its call doing a quick size up... building height & construction, location of he fire ,floor , windows, and fire escapes , all in a very quick size up of the situation as your walking into the building .

Good job..with observant comments
This is a great video! thanks for posting this.
I've got the FDNY Manhattan radio for this particular fire. It was in E54 and L4's first due originally put out for W48th & 10th Ave for a fire on the 2nd floor w/ multiple calls.
Strange to think 54 and 4 were first due would of thought tower 21 and whatever engine would of been first considering it’s in Hell’s Kitchen
i'd hope it was a quick response considering the fire department is only 2 blocks away.
Obviously not even a novice...
You don't put a hose into the window, that would spread the fire into the building. They had to go inside, upstairs and into the apartment to hit it from the inside. They did this in about 3 minutes from arrival and that's great.
Sorry chef i left the toaster on ... lol
Now thats where u go to get a chargrilled steak .

It looks like the guy in Ladder 21's bucket rescued someone.
Good job recording. Did great
Interior / Exterior Attack at the same time is a no-go youre right, but directing a stream a litte above the fire floor window would stop the fire from jumping to the next floor trough the windows.
What always impresses me with the yanks is the short amount of time it takes getting trucks on the scene especially in the cities.
they deserved to be paid more...
Incredible Video! thanks for posting it
I'm impressed with the fdnys back up that they got. The fire was almost out and they still had trucks coming.
yeah baby E54 and im sure L4 is there somewhere. "pride of midtown"!! out of battalion 9 hq.... awesome catch!
How i wish my homeland would get to this level of response by emergency apparatus. Its a pity to note that the city council of Nairobi has one fire truck on standby which takes ages to respond to a distress call.
Hell's kitchen... introducing new smoky flavors.
Ah, my battalion at work. FDNY Batt. 9
excellent video, excellent job from the FDNY.
It turns out that geographically the nearest firehouse to this location is actually Rescue 1, just five blocks south. Engine 54/Truck 4/Battalion 9 is only two blocks east, and Engine 34/Truck 21 is ten blocks south.
water on the fire in under 4 min from arrival gotta love that
No wonder why it is called Hell’s Kitchen. Just joking!
What are you willing to do for it
Guess they going to let him stay in the building until the fire is out
we dont attack from outside fella we vent and let the fire come to us its a very effective way ok the roof is breached to vent but a brownstone staircase acts like a chimney so we gotta release all the hot gasses good comments anyhow fella regards from brooklyn serving brother F.D.N.Y.
...ok who asked for a well done stake in Hell's Kitchen...?
Daym, new york got firetrucks and everything!
LMFAO that guy is FINEE a little smoke ain’t gonna kill him😂😂 they gotta search the inside of the structure for life and fire before they worry ab him
Always love watching FDNY working!
Yeah, that's what is seemed like. And it was an all hands fire so it was some serious bussniess, and I'm sure they weren't happy to see a bunch of people blocking them.
Looks like the OV from 21 truck did some nice work.. you can see him entering the FE with fire just starting to roll out the window. I'm sure he got atleast that bedroom done before the engine started their push. Nice work brothers
Couldn't have put it better. He's probably from one of those small towns where they have one fire company and only see 1 fire a year.
the biggest fire nyc saw was on 9.11 the largest loose of firefighters.
A guy standing outside on the patio, fire excape, and not going down?? People always seem to amaze me🤔

@longislandy Obviously you are not watching the video. What I"m saying is right. There is always something to learn. A garden hose from the store could of been used to get water, through that window minutes before they came.
What you saw in the beggining is how turbulant that smoke is the thinkness of it the volume and speed and then flames rollin out. Thats called flashover everything in a room reaches the ignintion temp and catches fire. Thats why smoke changed and also the flames began comin out faster
Exactly why his under the window...he pulled up right next to the hydrant and left an entire lane open for the Truck
That's the way it's done brothers

that guy on the fire escapes prob like screw you fire im staying lol

Living rural i understand bars to keep the bad guys out but in a fire can you pop them off from the inside so you can escape? I dont see bars on these windows but i go to CCI on long island and doing the cross bronx every window is barred.
I know exactly where this occurred. This was my old stomping ground back in the 1950s
@gmcbuses Your right, a garden hose COULD have been used. And it would have been absolutely USELESS. Any basic firefighter knows you have to put enough GPM's on the fire to overcome the BTU's being produced. And a garden hose would get you about 5-10 gpm's at best. You might save the window frame, that's about it. This fire needed AT LEAST 150-200 gpm's!
Funny thing is, you wouldn't dare to show up to 782 8th Avenue and say that to any of the Brothers' faces............You'd be spitting your teeth out tough guy. Keep being an internet tough guy, that's all you're good for.
Hells kitchen is a reality TV show sort of like the Apprentice but with cooking instead.
10-75 da box..... Great job boys. Absolutely awesome brothers,,,,,,,,
