Its amazing how many trucks and engines they send out to a fire in the USA, i live in holland and when they have a structure fire they send 2 engines and one ladder then depending on the fire they will send a officer and a breath protection truck only when its a big fire some more is send on the scene
@marcelrotgans The reason for the amount of trucks is the need for firemen. There is a big difference between the fire trucks here and in Europe as a whole. In the US we typically use Engines and Ladder trucks that seat a driver and 3 firemen, whereas in Europe the typical engine carries a driver and 8 firemen. Hope that explains it.
@marcelrotgans We have built in tanks on our engines, our engine has 1500 gallons or 5500 liters, but we try to hook to hydrants as fast as possible. I am on a department in the country, and sometimes we do not have hydrants but use 3 or 4 tanker trucks that hold 3000 gallons or 11000 liters. These tankers drive between the fire and the nearest hydrant or river to keep water coming.
Nice video! Loved the amount of different angles and shots you got! If you ever get the chance would you be able to get a good shot of the FDNY water cans (the silver 2.5gal fire extinguishers)? I'm interested in seeing how NYs boys attach the carry strap to them. Take care!
@JNHstudios There are a number of different ways you can attach a strap to a "can". A company called Fire Hooks Unlimited makes them in two different styles to fit most. These don't cost much but work pretty well. There is a video on youtube called "Fire Attack - using the can". It shows a homebrew method that works well and also shows a good demo of what a can can do. Check it out and if you don't find it by searching for the title, do a search for FFDGP, he is the one who uploaded the vid.
@JNHstudios Anytime, and if you have anymore questions let me know. I spend way too much of my time surfing the web and looking for new ways of doing things. Stay safe out there.
Someone tell 147's LCC next time to extend his aerial ladder at least 5' over the roof. And, why so close to the edge of the building? Not monday morning quarterbacking, but come on bro. Stay low, and let it blow, start water, and lets go.
at a job...its a common practice to "make a window a door". We open windows for small, insignificant fires. Ligit jobs...we take windows, the whole f'in window! Its our lives in there....anyone whothinks otherwise needs a lesson in thebasics of firefighting!
I'm not sure why you all are thumbs downing al3pplm1, because he's right, if you break a window it's to ventilate and provide alternate routes of egress for interior crews, Mind you that's only IF you do. Try before you pry is a forcible entry concept meant for doors and roll up gates and such.
wrong smart a. either you're a rookie fresh out of fire school reciting your newly learned phrases or u just don't know what the heck you're talking about. when breaking a window u take the whole thing, not only for ventilation but for egress. u break it as if a fireman may need to escape from it. u don't want to try and squeeze out an opened window with your gear and pack on, u need all the room you can get. any dept worth its salt should have an SOP in place for this.
its normally 150 feet of 1 3/4 inch of hose in a pack that can is used in apartment buildings such as in this video where you connect the line to a pipestand and use that instead of going up with hundreds of feet of line.
FDNY uses the 2 1/2 they could of went up the fire escape which would mean the line would strech alot easier and they would not be going up stairs it also could be a non staind pipe building
Its a good thing he hasnt done anything.... He's there for the firefighters. They go down, he stands up. Maybe hes annoying, maybe he seems like hes in the way but hes also the one the IC is going to be looking for when when of his guys is hurt.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Notice how things constantly shift? FIRST, it was stated that AFGANISTAN was behind 9/11, THEN they claimed IRAQ was behind it.... NOW they're pointing the finger and claiming it was IRAN!
When are people going to wise up and realize that we're being led around like a puppy on a leash?
They never "stated" that Afghanistan was behind 9/11, but simple a terrorist organisation LOCATED in Afghanistan. (Osama Bin Laden moved to Afghanistan from his home country of Saudi Arabia). They never blamed Iraq at all... in fact they went into Iraq because Saddam had suddenly stopped weapons inspectors going into his country, causing great suspicion he had WMD, which he didn't, but it was he was the one to stop weapon inspectors. And Iran has NEVER been blamed. When are you going to wise up?
Then how do you explain the fact that bush constantly claimed Saddam and bin laden were working together?? And not too long ago, he was trying o create an excuse to go after Iran...... Bush himself has stated that he is a "war president".
You know why Osama Bin Laden is mad at us? When Iraq invaded Kuwait, Kuwait asked Saudi Arabia for help. Well then Saudi Arabia asked for help. They got two offers one from Osama Bin Laden and one from the United States Military. Who do you think they chose?

for your infomation a few years ago one of the rescues companys had tan fire turn out gear as a test like line green trucks in fdny they never lasted so that firefighter might just be a fdny rescue company look on there shielf if it is blue then they are on the rescue red sheilds are truck companys and I for got what the engine companys are think black sheilds officers are white with the company numbers color code blue rescue red trucks ect there ya go Tim
All members of the public, firefighters, and emergency personnel-The `establishment` has failed in their duty to tell you of this.. Google paddyanddollydotnet and read FIREBURN MEDIA ALERT, tell all your friends and,in case of severe fireburn keep that number in your back pocket 24 hours a day.
hey, im a firefighter and a big FDNY buff, but what was that guy in the tan Morning Pride gear? was he like an EMS chief or something, ive never seen tan gear associated with FDNY in any way (The guy at :53 seconds)
I am not a firefighter, but i am interested, what does a fighter do if he/she falls through a floor and if the building is fully engulfed in fire does a firefighter still go in ??????
they call for a mayday on the radio and there is a peice that hey wear on them that sounds a really loud siren if they lean over or there is no movement for some time
and yes fire fighters will go in . by every fire there is a ladder truck designated the name FAST truck. they have a back board and all sorts of supplies to get through walls and stuff to find and rescue fire fighters only
good idea if you have the madpower. In Columbus Georgia we have R.I.T. Teams Rapid Intervention Teams. We all are trained to do this job even officers and Sgts.
RAC is rehab units it goes to all fire it has water and stuff to keep the firefighters hydrated after the fire Thawing units operates in the winter it unfreezes hydrants Sattallite has a big deck gun and the carry extra hose and foem
It's from many many years ago..when The FD was just starting off..If you see around Manhattan, you will see the numbers of the engines and trucks companies are not from the lower part to the upper part of manhattan..it's where they're were needed and that's how they got they numbers..
