Fire crews are still at the scene of an ongoing huge 6 alarm fire that has been ripping since yesterday morning, Thursday May 25th at the corner of Cherry Street and Commissioners Street in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The blaze broke out at 1h am on Thursday at the GFL recycling plant located in an industrial area in the port of Toronto near the city center. A large amount of flames rose up in the air and a dense smoke column accommodated residents of the downtown core. Firemen from the TFS (Toronto Fire Service) battled the blaze using multiple ladder trucks as well as a rarely deployed fire boat to douse the flames using water from Lake Ontario. A fire chief escorted members of the media with cameras closer to the fire to give out an interview. The majority of the fire has now been contained but fire crews will likely remain at the site of the fire for days to come to put it out completely. Multiple ambulances and mass casualty vehicles from Toronto Paramedics were spotted at the scene in prevention but nobody was injured during the incident. Constant rain helped containing the fire but the intensity of it made it last for now over 36 hours.

Great video! Really captures the actual size of the fire with the drone shots. Videos from the news didnt make it look like a 6 alarm fire
One of the best fire videos I've ever seen. Magnificent work.
Thank you!
Incredible video,one of the best I've ever seen.Thanks from Largo,Fl.
In the beginning of the video during the drone footage it appeared as if the water spraying from the elevating platform on the fire boat wasn't hitting the heavy fire coming through the roof but we weren't there in person watching the fire. The fire boat's monitors were definitely wetting down the roof of the fire building where the fire was spreading to. In later footage shot at water level you can clearly seethe fire boat's elevating platform monitor and lower monitor both hitting heavy fire in the building. The Toronto Fire service did an excellent job fighting and containing this large 6 alarm fire. The 4K Guy also did an awesome job shooting video of this fire by land sea, and air. Hats off for a job well done 4K Guy.
+Tommy D Thanks a lot!
This is why I say command should have a drone. If they had one here they would see the boat is doing NOTHING but watering the pavement.
Police and Fire should have drones with infared vision too to help find people in water or just anywhere.
I know it's been over a year since this was posted, but it's my first time to see it. I think the fireboat actually had 4 master streams coming off of it plus supplying two engines with water which was probably going around the building to other trucks. So it wasn't just watering the concrete. I think they should have had another fireboat to provide master streams on the back side of the fire.
One of the very best fire videos I have seen. Nice job, and thank you.
I watch a lot of your stuff. Nicely done.
i love your drone footage
The fire boat is actually closer then the ladder trucks on the other side....
If we had a 6 alarm here in Long Beach, all of our units would be called and we would rely on Orange County Fire, Los Angeles County Fire, and Los Angeles City Fire to take calls.
Umm...helicopters with "dip" tanks??
Building is a total loss and not threatening any other structures. Why are you even putting water on it? Half of the water is being blown away in the wind anyway. All that water just feet away in the harbor and only one fire boat. Not criticizing so much as wondering where the common sense is here. Amazing video footage, though!
Awesome video!
I guess "Fuck it. Let it burn itself out" works.
À chaque fois je me demande comment vous faites pour proposer de l'excellent contenu et rentabiliser les coûts de productions. J'espère que votre travail obtiens sa juste rémunération.
Merci du compliment, les coûts de production sont faibles ce qui me permet d'assez bien rentabiliser le tout!
great drone work great quality video.what i would like to know is what is the boat doing besides wasting its time.the water is nowhere near the fire.it would have been better used in the lower sections behind the boat
Tim Walker no you don't understand, the reason they didn't extinguish the fire in the lower sections behind the boat was because the fire is already wild and everything is burnt already, the only thing they can do is prevent the fire from damaging more parts of the building, exactly what the fire boat was doing in the first place and the ladder trucks in the beginning of the video.
Why does the Montreal FD still use the smaller hose when pushing water from the pumpers to the ladders? Is there a limiting factor such as how much water they can get from a hydrant without causing damage?
This isn't Montreal.
Man they needed some forest fighting water scooping airplanes. It looks like a forest fire
was that with a drone but AWESOME footage
very impressive footage, i can just imagine the overtime they put in to put that one out
not as much as youd think.. they'll change out the personnel at shift change
makes $e$ne!
it has nothing to do with money as cutting down on personell fatigue..
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I work at this yard and they are still spraying water on the building
It is so sad to see all those firetruck aound and dont use their deluge gun o pour more water out, the where next to plenty of water(Lake Ontario) they just had to drop their succion hose in and put twice and more water in there, The same is tru four the fire boat.
Impressive video🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒
Great use of the drone. We use drones and I was surprised that you are a civilian. This looked like a Department drone Op. Looks like correct response. Maintain perimeter to prevent expansion. Consideration of water overflow into port, environment is a biggie now. Building is a write off. Once fuel expended the heat dies down and mop up begins.
Awesome fire man and an awesome video. Does Toronto have more than one fireboat?
Just out of curiosity, but did you have to get permission to fly a drone within the 5km CYTZ airspace?
great camera work.
That's krazy how their engines dint have any deck guns how cheap can a city b.Should i remind the asshole who is purchasing these apperatuses.Emergency vehicle there is know money involed when purchasing these vehicles u r getting these apperatuses 4 life know time on being cheap 4 life a deckgun is very improtant!!!!!!!
WOW! That's crazy huge. I notice it was raining. Was it struck by lighting?
These pro-grade drones really do a superb job...Nice footage...
How the hell can all 3 sections of the building be ablaze at the same time..? Somebody ARSON about..!!
If that fire boat doesn't have enough capacity to pump its tower plus all of the other nozels it has it has no business being used the smallest boat that new York has is able to pump 18000 gpm from one nozzle not counting the others plus it carries foam 5000 gallons of it plus hose
It looks like not 1 ladder or tower is even hitting the fire.On top of that the 2 fire boats looked docked & the 1 boat looks like they have a 50ft boom on it but its docked & that does'nt look like their not hitting the fire either...W.T.F.
Separating the metals from the consumables!
Already c a problem with this picture their aireal attack is off.They need the ladder trucks close 2 the trailers who ever made the decision 2 let the ladder trucks stay their was a big mistake.....
you don't know much about firefighting, the heat from the fire made it impossible to get the trucks any closer, plus the danger of building collapse, this is not an offensive attack, this is a defensive mode only since the building is already a lost cause their goal isn't to put out this fire since that is impossible, their goal is containment only, and let it burn it self down, they are NOT off, they are trying to prevent further spread of the fire, keep the trailers and trucks from burning. the fire is too big and too hot to do anything but contain it.
I do understand but when the water isnt even hitttig the fire what so ever u can get a little closer.Not on top of the fire but enoough so i can get mist & the puddles can form some waves...Plus u use the trailers 4 cover
....
no you don't understand , nore can you READ, nore can you see what the guy on the tower is seeing. let me repeat for you, the heat from the fire, and risk of the trailers burning made it impossible to get the trucks any closer, the heat from the fire, and risk of the trailers burning made it impossible to get the trucks any closer, have you been trained in fire fighting? are you a firefighter? have you been trained in Indecent command? non of us can see what they can see. sick and tired of you know it all youtube arm chair firefighters. you think you know better then the firechiefs, you DON'T.
Nor can they see what we can see with the drone!
Yummy yummy all that run off into our Great Lake
