mcaddicts you know fire trucks are the most dangerous truck on earth if you get ran over by them you could get dangerously hurt and that's why I gave you a thumbs up because you are exactly right
That leisurely response must hurt their "out the chute", unless they status en route when the doors go up. Unless they have AVL the their gas will show they have broken the go fence around the station and show their actual en route time and accurate out of chute time.
Was a professional firefighter for 33 years and a Lieutenant for 23 of them, I have never seen such a slow ass dragging response in my life. A minute or less was SOP in our department to have your ass on the road. If not, questions were asked and you better be ready to give some valid answers.
it´s very common for FDNY Firehouses to have a Engine only or Engine and Ladder. Midtown Firehouse is one of the bigger Stations with an Engine, Ladder and Battalion :o) FDNY Stations are located very tight together in Manhattan to provide every part quickly. Biggest problem is the traffic madness all day ^^
I had the privilege when visiting New York to see these guys responding exactly as this video shows and i saw the idiots walking in front of the fire station while they are exiting and the traffic outside blocking there exit route. All NYFD fire stations should have traffic control lights installed outside where by they can press a stop button and turn the signal from green to red so they can get out in a hurry and have the road marked with a yellow box area and if you stop or park in it you will receive a ticket, as for pedestrians well a few are idiots and even a physical barrier would not stop some of them. Love NYFD/NYPD and the people of New York had a fantastic stay.
I have always heard people in New York are rude and inconsiderate. These folks act like they have right of way on guy even crossed in front of the trucks even though the firefighter was stopping people
Warum baut ihr keine Ampel auf, welche bei Alarm automatisch auf "rot" schaltet? So sind, zumindest für das Ausrücken, die Straßen frei! Ich denke nämlich, dass ihre Art wichtige Zeit verbraucht...über zwei Minuten bis das erste Fahrzeug tatsächlich ausrückt!
They need a video game boss, like the big undead Samurai from Rise of the Tomb Raider, to stand out front swinging a 200lb mallet. That should cure people
They seemed so much slower than UK fire crews,like any time would do,no hurry guys keep it burning until we get there.I remember my local part time fire brigade where they were all at work and had to get to the fire house before the truck could roll. They could turn out with a full crew in four minutes from getting the call.
koala master that loves koalas: My question was Where was the urgency, because I didn't see any. The people I saw in the station were strolling about, leisurely putting their gear on and seemingly without any sense of urgency. I know that if it was my ass on fire that day I think I would like to hope that the firefighters were on their way quickly!
Ken Norman For the record, this is a city with roughly three hundred companies. One company can easily cover for another, and they could have been a later due unit than the first due. If it was a full scale fire and they were first due, _then_ they'd be running people over.
I understand what you are saying but, the mere fact that they had been turned out to the incident meant that they were required there as an emergency service. I would like to have seen some sense of urgency that's all. In my time as a firefighter in the UK (retired now) I was working in a disciplined service where "every second counts" when life and property are at risk. It just seems so alien to me to see fire appliances turning out to an incident without the sense of urgency on display that I was so used to being a part of.
But not necessarily as the first in company. As many on here note NY rolls a lot of equipment to a fire, just in case. Some call it overkill, NY would say better safe than sorry, do it with the police also. This is the really big city do not forget.
So, I never understood this and I'm hoping someone knows if there is an actual answer...why does FDNY have so many sections of hard-suction hose on their engines? I highly doubt they do much drafting....not criticizing, merely curious.
Some of their pumpers, particularly in high rise districts have 2000 gpm pumps that requires a lot of ability to "coax" a water main to give it to you.
looking at the comments and the fact that the incident could have been an alarm, that alarm has many a time been an actual fire, we in the UK have to be out the doors regardless of incident type in 1 minute. The comment saying the old captain would have gone mad is true.....i still do if we dont turn out in the agreed time
The one thing I constantly notice about videos like these, is that, first responders don't always_show a sense of urgency! It's almost as if they're not in hurry to save a life or, put out a fire. One would think otherwise. One would think that ppl posing in front of the fire house would walk with a sense of urgency & get out of the way. I guess too them it's no big deal!
More and more American fire trucks evolve into European fire trucks. For instance, no longer do American firemen stand on the back board, but everyone now rides in an extended cab, the turntables of aerial ladders are now mounted at the rear of the ladder truck as in Europe rather than being located behind the cab. BLUE LIGHTS on fire trucks! Are red and white lights being phased out? They are even putting red and yellow caution stripping on the backs of fire engines and ambulances. The emergency vehicles of Britain had this on then for decades. Lastly, no more open cab fire engines. The American fire engine has lost it's unique character.
check out Midtown madness :o) --- th-cam.com/video/as7PUfMJ9mw/w-d-xo.html
I love that people are just not stopping and the fire fighter had to hold them back. Welcome to NYC
There's something beautiful about an entire FDNY house emptying.
+creative illusions Productions indeed :)
It is?
It is so SAD we have to BABYSIT THE PUBLIC what to do when the FIRE DEPARTMENT is called out COMMOM SENSE is out the WINDOW
You would think people would just have common sense to not walk in front of these trucks and not have to be told.
yeah not so much
mcaddicts you know fire trucks are the most dangerous truck on earth if you get ran over by them you could get dangerously hurt and that's why I gave you a thumbs up because you are exactly right
I guess the bright red truck is hard to see especially with the lights flashing!
smartphone generation
mcaddicts
it a shame people cant wait for these beauties to roll out in front of them
Absolut klasse diese Aufnahme!
people look so clueless and careless walking around such obvious things
I love the growl of FDNY trucks. They have a certain noise, that other rigs don't make.
+Indiana Railfan Indeed. Thanks for watching.
I have fallowed my dept for 50 years and I know first hand what you can and can not do
that also means what we can and can not do on sean
Great video! This is the first firehouse i will visit on October 1st next week during my stay :D
+Code3NL busiest in town ^^
Thank you for posting, great video!
I love it when the whole house goes!
I put one up like this last week. It's surprising how often they all go out, particularly at night.
Indeed, but more often in the summertime than in winter I think.
Why do you think that?
CobraEmergencyVideos been there in Winter 2014 and Summer 2015 and captured way more responses in summertime.
Ah right that's fair enough. ;-)
are they going for a drink
That initial start-up from the Q sirens always sound so mournful
Notice the bike messenger who got behind the first truck responding, smart asf. 👌🏽
I had great meals at house when I was there to repair there veh. THANKS GUYS !.
Excellent video , Beautiful Units , This video goto a favourits, Greetings from Argentina.
Emergencias Tucuman Thank you :o)
My only suggestion would be give the ending a bit more time. great video though :-)
When I was in New York ladder 4 had a spare and this house was right around the corner from my hotel
Nice Video. thanks
Nice video man
The most respected profession in the nation.
Lmfao! That's a joke right!!!
It's good to hear a grinder siren again.
These guys are not in a hurry to get out of the station, hope no one is trapped.
1:06 second the lights turn on you know what kind of lights they AR they are Els which is I like Yale St are awesome
good job man keep up the good work
+Jeff Stang (Jeffstang91) Cheers! ;)
wow nice video :D thanks
Nice! video nd nice catch
I’ve been to that station before! 🚒
Amazing video!
+TGG - Global Emergency Responses thanks man!
I saw Ladder 4 once! It's cool to see its station
Thanks for watching.
Officer TV78 same the firefighters here are nice people especially to other firefighters
If you can drive a big fire truck in downtown NYC, you can drive anywhere!!
I had a good friend at ladder 4 he was Dan ocallaghan and he had become the captain of the department in pride of midtown the day before 9’11
Still waiting. Is fdny always this slow?
Nice Job
That leisurely response must hurt their "out the chute", unless they status en route when the doors go up. Unless they have AVL the their gas will show they have broken the go fence around the station and show their actual en route time and accurate out of chute time.
Very nice video!
+Barendrecht in Beeld Thanks!
No rush - it just a fire call. Just take your time.
Have they already returned?
taking sweet time is this normal?
People who walk in front of the engines or try to go around the firefighter are so ignorant
Tell the firemen to move faster.
I think 1:51 is long time for exit station, in our country is limit 50sec for exit.
If it wasn't a urgent call or they aren't the primary station responding they dont need to be move as fast
Was a professional firefighter for 33 years and a Lieutenant for 23 of them, I have never seen such a slow ass dragging response in my life. A minute or less was SOP in our department to have your ass on the road. If not, questions were asked and you better be ready to give some valid answers.
start 1:58
keep it up
nice job captured911
Ramsey love thx
Ain't in no hurry to get out of the house
Divinos!! 😀
They sure take their sweet time
Good fire fıre!!
Roger that, Central. Zero hurry. 5-4 responding.
I got a question, how come there only 2 trucks in the station which locate in the middle of the city?

Midtown Firehouse is one of the bigger Stations with an Engine, Ladder and Battalion :o) FDNY Stations are located very tight together in Manhattan to provide every part quickly.

Take your time boys
Nice Great
Don't go to fast now. Take your time.

Love NYFD/NYPD and the people of New York had a fantastic stay.
This was the hardest hit station for the FDNY on 911 - 15 men died (I believe all 15 died in or near the South Tower)
I went to that engine company
I love the fact that they wear flags on the ladder trucks.
加油
Why have flags hanging off the back of them?? What purpose do they serve, if anything they're a hazard.
even wanting to see some action
Hammer geil!
+BlaulichtBasel Danke :o)
+captured911 finde die Fahrzeuge aus den USA einfach soo geil vom Sound und mit dem Crom :D
1:00 respond begins
So much disregard for emergency services
cool
+Eliza Babbitt thanks

Not exactly worried about getting the wheels moving quickly.
In California your looking at a write up moving that slow.
it takes time too gear up
I love how they have the flag at the back. The colors on on flag DONT RUN EVER
Come on people! How has the FDNY not decided to stop having to deal with this crap and just putting out a massive crossing bar?
ICanHazGaming12345 yeah ... like the yellow strap of ground Zero firehouse ;o)
They need a video game boss, like the big undead Samurai from Rise of the Tomb Raider, to stand out front swinging a 200lb mallet. That should cure people
Gonna save kids from midtown high
whats with the US flags and the over self assurance
It's part of the dog and pony show!!!

Dumkopf kraut
Jail time for your orange bitch.
Average response time for FDNY is less than 5 minutes.
They never seem to be in a hurry!!!! Probably put the lights on and are headed to McDonald's. Lmfao
thay where not going to Mac donald's
looks nice but awesomely slow.... 7mins it is, or should be
Where was the urgency??
Ken Norman a fire of course stupid

When you are sucking from a hydrant the hose can also collapse.

no rush ...let it burn :)

So theres a lot of lives to be saved an these firefighters just go as slow as possible like they're just goin for a Sunday drive
4 54 bat 9
Remember right after 9/11 first responders were respected now not so much
I’ve been by there
Nice ;o)
captured911 mah family was on vacation in NY and we walked by there
I have a feeling if he didn't stop those two women that they were gonna walk right into the engine
I'm stay on the place.
My great grandfather’s house.

9 out of 10 times it's a cat stuck in a tree or they are heading to Jewel to get free food
They could move a little faster for sure 🤨
The FIREMEN should not have to ask people to move people SHOULD move
Oh do I love to see that glorious flag wave in freedom in the back of that truck! 🇺🇸
Ready and out the door less then 10 seconds way to go fire teams
Dominik☺
Battalions look so small compared to daddies engine all of em but pay wise no sir the bring a ton of doe
And our firetrucks in germany are so boring >D
I know we're all here to see fire trucks, but next time can we get a little more of the blonde at 2:08 ?
Damn it ppl! Get_the hell out of the way!!
Wie kann man nur so unfassbar langsam sein 😅
Why are those people walking in front of the trucks ? They see the FF''s there, the doors are up. Wtf ?
