[canadiandudification]

cluster fuck

[tigerqueen007]

I hope nobody was hurt.

[MrLazynko]

:D so many cars ...why ?

[Zdudeisme]

Damn, sure is alot of engines/trucks responding....

[JtvSpecials]

this camera makes it look to cartoonish

[TheOrganiston9th]

What part of Manhattan was this?

[BARKHATOV83]

@TheOrganiston9th Midtown. West23 and 2 ave.

[brendanbutterworth]

@TheOrganiston9th It is the part that was on fire

[pcjoel999]

are new yorkers retarded? driving into a fire scene and getting in the way and then wondering why they got stuck

[mdpdoldcop]

Heroic job. Thank you.

[tightlilkyutiboi1]

i live in manhattan and this is exactly how it would go down....everybody still thinking of what they're doing instead of noticing whats going on around them!!

[kingkong0189]

yeah to hell with a high-rise fire!



[FDNY63truck]

thats nice people directing traffic instead of officers and i was at the fire i'm a FDNY firefighter ha ha i remember that to

[mistgras321]

W tak zatloczonych miastach policja powinna byc pierwsza w takich akcjach aby zablokowac ulice i zorbic objazdy tego miejsca. Tak aby straz miala pelny luz na dojechanie i postawienie wozow.

[nycems303]

100X100, fire on the 18 floor of a 22 story hi rise, 1 is the street, 2 is the street, 3 is a 4 story detached, 4 is a detached commerical, primaries are in progress, lines being stretched, the status is doubtful K.

[nycems303]

If I recall, this would be a 10-76, hi rise fire which would be a 3rd Alarm assignment to the box.

[waldmeister1980]

Incredible! There is a working emergency scene and people only think about to pass the crossing with their car... This is New York live =D

By the way... FDNY did a good job, as far as i can see on this vid.

Stay save brothers and always come home healthy!

Greetz from Germany

[twit101]

thats a good high rise worker

[se5tachi]

great response time=great job fellas :)

[funonutube100]

GOD BLESS FDNY!!!!!!!

[jacobeast1]

Anybody else notice the people who have cameras when stuff like this happens are the biggest bunch of unsteady frigging spazzes on the planet?

[thekiwicanuck]

@jacobeast1 The excitement can make your hands a bit shaky, I know from experience...

[GrizBearman]

Much respect FDNY

[Johnny64ism]

[stevierandom1]

[Johnny64ism]

Jesus this camera man SUCKS KEEP THAT DAMN CAMERA STILL WILL YA !?!?

[MtaBus5102]

@Johnny64ism Thank you!, well at least someone freakin is on my side!!

[TheBudny]

Routine. The best in the world.

[MrRubendeRuiter]

here in the netherlands, we call this a 'grote brand' (big fire).

I think there would go around 3-5 engines and 1-2 ladders to something like this.

[Wouter112]

@MrRubendeRuiter We would give in Holland a compagnie alarm for this. Means at least 8 engine's and numerous other supporting truck would respond.

[MrRubendeRuiter]

@Wouter112 ok, welke brandweer ben jij? ik ben van gooi en vechtstreek - post Huizen

[Wouter112]

@MrRubendeRuiter

Geen brandweer hier. Een geinteresseerd met de nodige kennis.

Voor hoogbouwbranden op dit niveau goed te bestrijden zal op zijn minst een compagnie ingezet moeten worden. Gezien de hoeveelheid mensen die nog boven de brand "vast" zitten.

[miraget3549]

Everytime i watch this it makes me feel so good that you guys are on the job....

and i don't even LIVE there...

[Zugvogel1]

15th floor ----not good.

[denelson83]

@Zugvogel1 That's why Rescue 1 was brought in.

[Zugvogel1]

@denelson83

How long is the Ladder that is there... ?

[denelson83]

@Zugvogel1 Probably only about 30 m.

[ntfd125]

@Zugvogel1 100ft

[DamianWinston]

Damn can somebody dispatch a police car for traffic control!!!!!

[IndependentPoet]

@DamianWinston That appears to be 2nd Avenue & East 23rd Street which are two major intersection within the Borough of Manhattan so it's pretty busy Manhattan is very congested

[DamianWinston]

@IndependentPoet Ok. In Baltimore on any box the streets get blocked off so that no cars run over supply lines or block ire vehecles from gettin on scene

[shtolol]

Хлопці, як вас в Америку занесло?)

[BARKHATOV83]

@shtolol YAkos zaneslo...

[shtolol]

@BARKHATOV83

красава

[ffjsb]

Good job on the knock down, I don't get the random positioning of units though...I would've thought they would block off the side where the fire building is first so traffic is not driving through the scene.

[musicmovies913]

ill take 100 hundred private dwelling fires before i take a highrise fire

[mbc2915]

they just keep coming (the fdny im talkin bout)

there linke an army... what floor was the fire on

[JayWillaDaDon]

That is really sad

[jmik50]

I will never understand why NYPD cannot redirect traffic around a working fire. In most nyfd clips I see this problem. Maybe someone from NY can explain

[SGTRaffaele]

@jmik50 Because they don't do this. It's up to the Traffic Unit.

[jmik50]

@SGTRaffaele Thanks for clearing up who has the responsibility!

[azul8811]

@SGTRaffaele Really? Then why do they even respond?

[SGTRaffaele]

@azul8811 because there must be the police

[azul8811]

@SGTRaffaele To do what? To park on the hydrants and block out the Engine Companies, or to block out the Ladder trucks from proper placement around the building?

[chrisjct]

@jmik50 im a APO and they dont really want too as a MOS they want too do other things but they give the job too either APOs or TEA traffic

[FFcorbs]

@HelloHansSolo hellohanssolo......its easy to criticizes from the comfort of your mommy and daddys basement, lets see you do better asshead

[R115]

I work for Toronto Fire Services, and this would be at least a 4th alarmer.

[lucarox123]

@R115 What does that mean?

[TomTheGrom226]

@R115 why?

[stonhenge4]

@TomTheGrom226 LOL cuz thats 15th floor!!!

[lupo23]

Good Job...

[TheEMS41]

[BARKHATOV83]
