  • scooter-fire

  • 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.

  • Great video!

  • Well it is hells kitchen

  • Was this an all hands. Defeinatly a 10-75 but there is still a shitload of sirens going.

  • great video! good witness

  • "THEY PROBABLY DO THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY" NOOOOO SHIT WOMAN ITS THEIR JOBS!! LMAO

  • This is what happens when guys cook.. All the more reason for women to cook XD

  • Honey, The Chicken is done!

  • I think I saw Daredevil at 3:28!!!

  • Warum schlagen die Feuerwehrleute die Fenster ein?? und warum gehen die aufs Dach und schaffen da auch noch eine öffnung.. ich meine klar das der Rauch abziehen kann aber unter Umständen entsteht dadurch doch auch ne Kamin wirkung ?! or?

  • @moequist1 das mit der kaminwirkung ist richtig nur ist es so das es hier im 1 og brennt und der weg nach oben evtl nicht mehr begehbar ist deswegen in diesem fall musst du dir min 2 wege schaffen das man rein und im notfall auch wieder raus kommt die leiter auf das doch (könnte sein das sich leute nach oben gerettet haben die man retten müstte

  • @Linusder ja schon... aber arbeiten die nicht mit lüftern oder so? so wie wir das auch machen? ich denke nur an den schaden der dabei entsteht :-) und das mit dem rein und raus kommen , ich denke die können sich ja an ihrem schlauch orientieren wo se rein gekommen sind und wieder raus gehen :-)

  • 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

  • flash over !!!! bei 1:10

    

  • der arme kerl auf dem balkon............

  • 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.

  • @denelson83 rescue probably wouldnt be requested to a fire of this size and nature, probably the typical response protocol for FDNY on a 10-75 (working fire) is 4 engines, 3 ladders, 2 battalion, and 1 rescue and/or squad if available/requested

  • I like how the construction workers take it upon themselves to make way for the apperatus.

  • its blowinnnnnnnnn

  • 10-75 da box..... Great job boys. Absolutely awesome brothers,,,,,,,,

  • i'd hope it was a quick response considering the fire department is only 2 blocks away.

  • Mike Mazziati were you there? My ex-floater at the PO!

  • 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.

  • NYC Should really solute the FDNY because these guys are straight up amazing, very fast and brave. Go FDNY.

  • 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.

  • ha and they want to make cuts to the FDNY. these greedy politicians can go fuck themselves.

  • wow that was a quick response by the fire department.

  • @Tubetheweb well remeber the 911 call was probly made before he started the camera, so it may seem like a quick response but it probly wasnt as quick as it seems. but yes IS PRETTY quick.

  • @bikestunts123 it only takes 1:20 to go from the firehouse to the fire.

  • awesome response and quick knock down .... im impressed!

  • this video takes hours to load for me..

  • at 1:10 flash over occurs

  • @mcguinness251 you're a dumbass. Read a book dude.

  • Is this particular building equipped with standpipes, or was it a stretch job?

  • @denelson83 2nd floor, prolly a stretch job. you could stretch to most parts of that building pretty easy.

  • @denelson83 stretch job :-) greez Chris Ladder 4 FDNY

  • Ppl r fn stupid...they wait like dumbasses inside the building until the fire (or smoke) is knocking at their door n it's too late...E-VAC-U-ATE right away

  • @bashi786 They probably just didn't notice untill it was to late

  • ПО горящему помещению сразу никто не начал работать,дождались, чтобы ушло в 3й этаж, а возможно и выше...Зато кретин сразу полез бить окна, расположенные рядом, и давая дополнительный воздух огню. Когда поняли, что огонь ушел-вся толпа чухнула на 3й...БАЛБЕСЫ!

  • Err Covering jet? could of knocked a lot of the fire down and stopped the window above becoming involved??

    London Fire Brigade, different ways to FDNY.

  • @NoKIA9fiver Yeah we go into the buildings and not surround and drowned and loose the building

  • Good God! Why are you standing there on the balcony? Get out! It's not like you need to use the ladder, they have more important things on hand.

  • @deathrite2 Maybe the hallway was not passable? Maybe the fire/smoke was to much get thru from his apt? He did exactly as he should, go to where the fresh air is

  • A good knock down damn near under 10 minutes! GET SOME! :)

  • BBQ anyone???

  • Great knockdown by the FDNY! I love the precision they show when arriving on scene. Smaller depts take note, everyone has a job & everyone does their job. No freelancing. Great work!

  • yeeeees my company is arriving first, Engine 54, Truck 4, Batt 9 The Pride of Midtown :) thx to my bros for that call ! everything worked perfect

  • Comment removed

  • 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?

  • @umbroplus look at 1:01 and note the fire hydrant. The first engine co goes to the hydrant to connect.

  • I remember seeing this from 5oth street and 10th ave...on my way home from work...and the smell of smoke was in my apartment for a while.

  • gmc wrong wrong wrong. I give up your liberal brain is unable to process the fact that you are wrong. farouk the guy on the upper floors was safe where he was but he could have been evacuated from inside or a tower ladder if needed.

  • Whatb about the guy on the top floor

    A Great Video.

  • @DTrain1204_ Thank you for the follow up.

  • ...special tools an manpower that allows them to act as an engine, truck or rescue), and 2 Batallion chiefs.

  • @ Stlcardsfan1977: this is a 10-75 ( a working structural fire/incident in progress) which requires a full 1st Alarm response. this consists of 4 engines, 3 ladders ( 1 designnated as a FAST truck), 1 Rescue Company, 1 Squad Company (an engine with speciall

  • Just curious if any FDNY member could tell me how many alarms a fire like this would go to? Also to the people questioning how things were done, shut up. I can't stand hearing people that are not from FDNY questioning how they do it. Nobody is perfect, but I don't know of any place I would rather be trapped in a fire, and I have worked the job for 18 years. Brother from StL.

  • gmc the phrases "engine" and "truck" are how we in the FDNY refer to the members of the companies operating. Said engine and truck were IN the building which is how a line operating into would have fried them. Dude just give it up. You said something stupid, youre wrong, and everyone fireman who has commented on your asinine idea has said it and explained why. Get over it and move on already.

  • Great Job FDNY

  • 54/4 - Never Missed a Performance!

  • that was red fox walking by at 1:03 lol

  • gmc you are 100% WRONG! End of story. You have NO IDEA what you are talking about. A hose line into that window would have fried that whole truck and engine not to mention torched the whole building. We,unlike you, know what the hell we are doing when we go to a fire. A garden hose? Are you frigging serious?!

  • @jacobeast1 Are you crazy man. A hose through that window, how would it have fried the truck, and engine on the street. I said aim a spray at the wall, to stop the flames from going to the apartment above. Your obviously not a firefighter.

  • @jacobeast1 i completely agree with you.. i think some people ought to do some research on fire behavior before they start posting on here lol

  • The world's finest firefighters in action! :)

  • to much fat on the fire

  • NYC Finest in action. Hope every one got out ok.

  • great work !

  • Fellow firefighter, great job NYC traffic is a bitch to get tru

  • nice video...read the smoke...watch it flash about 112. incredible

  • What a great video.

  • Sad that if people had fire extingushers AND the balls to use them;

    1)fire might have been stopped BEFORE it ruined the Apts/store.

    2)Delayed spreading of it till the FDNY arrived &limit damage caused.

    People see fire/smoke &run.They should do the basic'first aid'before/while calling 911.BEFORE it gets out of hand.

    Guess people are MORE afraid of fire than needed.

    Had food in toaster oven catch fire once.

    Solution;turn oven off, then while opening door sprayed with water from bottle.( :

  • @surfitlive Thats bigger than a toaster oven fire.

  • A fire engine supposedly carries 500 gallons of water. I do not see why one fireman could not of by 3:45 of the video, could not of pointed a hose toward that window, with the flames billowing out, attacking that fire.

  • @gmcbuses um, because you don't want to push the fire onto the firefighters inside the building conducting their search and rescue for one reason, next reason you push the fire to the exterior of the building not the interior so, by your thinking they could have had water on the window at 1:54. The only time I've ever seen water being used along the face of a building was to create a water curtain to protect the neighboring building from lighting off.

  • @gmcbuses You don't EVER put water through the only place that the fire is venting. That would have forced the fire back into the building and they would likely have lost the structure. Instead, they went in and forced the fire out, like they were supposed to do. This is FDNY, don't question them, especially if you aren't a firefighter

  • @gmcbuses The FDNY goes in and pushes the fire out out. Thats why

  • Daym, new york got firetrucks and everything!

  • @BVISHable Lol? All of the US got firetrucks and everythin.

  • @BVISHable In the US, they have a fire department for every 2 miles of moderately populated area. (suburbs and cities) so 90% of the population.

  • I wish they'd go back to the Federal Model 28 Siren, I hate the electronic garbage of today.

  • Comment removed

  • @dandoosh90 Second, watch the fire escape in the latter part of this video. Watch the person at the top floor get engulfed in smoke and heat and watch how long their in there for. Again, as an engine AND Truck chauffeur myself, clear the front and get a ladder onto the fireside of that building right away. That person on the fire escape should have been down from there a long time before that.

  • @TheGoalie213 idk, maybe you're right. My company 1st Lt. is in 4 Truck and I learned most of what I know from him. He's also basically brainwashed us kids in the company into thinking that FDNY is always right.

  • @dandoosh90 yeah, I know that they have to be removed before going into the shop otherwise they get glommed, but I still like the old fed mod 28, and on the NYPD RMPs I'd love to see the Fed Pulsator P 660 come back, you knew from the sirens who was who :)

  • Hey Tony, didja bring da marshmallows?

    Yeah Frankie, der in da back seat of the RMP.

  • What a fire!

  • excellent video, excellent job from the FDNY.

  • When i first saw the start i thought gordan ramsey has finaliy self exploded cos he was so pissed off i can think of a few F words to say .

  • Sorry chef i left the toaster on ... lol

    Now thats where u go to get a chargrilled steak .

  • Pork chop sandwiches, GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!

  • Truly a great video.

    ~stoner!

  • Truck 21 is a bad ass company

  • @ArmyRescue1 Why?

  • @Jarhead8thregiment I love the truck and they are a bad ass rescue company

  • ummm... i think the pot roast is done!!!

    

  • I think they may have given this two alarms, or maybe went with a 10-75 on it.......deffinately heard a bunch of second due rigs later in the video though

  • @graves420fire Doubt it but it's possible. 10-75 comes with 4 Engines, 2 Trucks, 2 Bat. Chiefs, A Rescue, A Squad, and an additional ladder as a FAST truck. They can also request an additional 2 engines and ladders if they transmit an All-Hands operating. Any more units needs an additional alarm.

  • Thanks for video  . Something exiting always happens in my neighborhood !

  • thats a good nock down time! just like kansas city having 100 firefighters ther and and only havin a truck and pumper crew doin all the work

  • Hate to say it, but the guy making the running commentary comes across like a real dork. Possibly he's from Minnesota or Canada.

  • wow!! I love this

  • long live the FDNY!

    also, NYC is nuts.

  • do they leave the siren on to help people evacuate the area? maybe people with no smoke alarms or something so they say "whats that?" and look out and see a fire?

  • great vid. It's great to catch the progressing stages of fire, and more importantly, the stages of smoke. Very nice, Good job FDNY

  • hells kitchen is puszy now.. bak in da day it use to go hard wit da mafia and all dat.. but now theres a bunch of puszy asz white ppl. fuken dumb bitches

  • @TMoNeY187x your a true moron but im sure many have told you that

  • @TMoNeY187x What are you talking about? How about you go to school and learn to spell.

  • @pirson28

    shut the fuk . come see me ill slit ya fuken throat kid.

  • @TMoNeY187x Oh I'm sorry, I don't understand inbred retard language. You'll have to speak english.

  • @TMoNeY187x  lol

  • Lol is that Gorden Ramsey i hear in the background swearing at 6:45 LOL

  • @Angel13Ami

    lol yeah i hear him too he went "Fuck Fuck Fuck FUCK FUCK!!!!"

  • Nice a workin 10-75

  • They did a DAMN GOOD job! Go Engine 54, Truck21 XD

  • hell's kitchen is city of fantastic alicia keys....

  • Hi,

    Did you ever hear what caused the Hell's kitchen fire?

    I know that was awhile back.

    I just saw the video for the 1st time.

    Great job on the video, apparently you were the only one that uploaded a video on it.

  • I'm impressed with the fdnys back up that they got. The fire was almost out and they still had trucks coming.

  • Great job FDNY as always....only one thing. Why in God's earth would the first due engine pull up literally under the fire window, especially being it is on the corner of the block? As a truckie myself....you always clear the fire building as much as possible to allow your ladder companies to access the building from all angles....

  • @TheGoalie213 did you miss the hydrant on the corner?

  • @TheGoalie213 correct.....truck gets the structure

  • @TheGoalie213 the fdny does has its own strategies of doings things. they know the city. the street was cramped with constructiong . ladder trucks cant get into it. only from the side. who ever is there first basically gets the spot. your not going to wait and say "oh we're going to let the ladder truck come to this. and were gunna move back out now..."

  • @TheGoalie213 the front of the building was completely open for the trucks. No problems.

  • @dandoosh90 Watch the video in it's entirety again. Two things...First, the engine pulls up UNDER THE FIRE as it's blowing out two windows. Engine 54, as all side mount pumpers are, have the pump panel on the driver's side. Where is the fire?  On the driver;s side of the truck. First and most important thing, you protect yourselves first.

  • @TheGoalie213 i think because those trucks are supposed to hook up to the hydrant...like the one they pulled up to...not sure tho

  • Comment removed

  • @TheGoalie213 See the hydrant?

  • @longislandy the first due engine could have easily had access to that hydrant had they pulled up a few feet more and allowed the truck to sit on the corner.

  • @TheGoalie213 All of these companies have radio's. If the first due truck had an issue with the first due engine setting up where they did, it would have been transmitted over the air and the resources relocated. First due companies are usually very familiar with their response area and this may have been the only hydrant close enough to make a quick attack on an obviously old structure with lots of fire potential and as you can see from later in the video, aerials can be extended where needed.

  • @TheGoalie213 they cant give there ladder truck becouse he need more spase to prepare it.

    Usually they use ladder truck to get firemens to other floor to rescue victims

  • Exactly why his under the window...he pulled up right next to the hydrant and left an entire lane open for the Truck

  • @TheGoalie213 idk it depends i guess where dispatch even if they did tell where the fire start

  • good job guys!

  • I remember this day, it made it even smellier than usual.

  • midtown job with extra trucks and rescue 2

  • I'll continue the bashing. If styrene knew anything, he would know that FDNY doesn't carry water on their rigs.

  • @Flyboy14295 yes they do how do you think they put out car fires on the highways and the bridges?

  • engine 54, ladder 4 nice video.

  • 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

  • @Styrene...

    They shouldve thrown a tiller right up in front so they could reach the canopy

    They should had like 3 lines and a back up

    Theres no idling with the Styrenepackaging FD, Thats for sure

    Them midtown FDNY (A) companies could sure learn alot from styrene.

    Lol

  • @styrene...

    Gosh, you must be the old crusty one man fire dept.

    The Brothers shouldve just stood there an wetted down the burning canopy instead taking the leadout to rescue the people inside the burning building.

  • great video hope no one gots hurt

  • this vid was a great one to show how theyjump right intoaction not just stand arou8nd and ask for instructionms

  • Way to go brothers... Quick knock, handled like pros... Way to show what we do.. Damn proud!!!

  • FDNY= the world braveset

  • Very nice video! 5/5

  • So... that's why they call it, "Hell's Kitchen" 'cause it's just like Hell!

    Oh, hah...

  • He's mad at 6:43 lol

  • GREAT VIDEO!!!

    thats why this is the greatest fire department in the world!!!

    great knock brothers!!!

    stay safe

  • that was pretty quick..within a few minutes the fire was out.

  • bei den ganzen sirenen geheule krigt man ja gänse haut.ich hoffe die menschen konnte man rechtzeitig retten.

  • That's a job! 10-75 on arrival, I'll bet.

    Nice vid. All Hands? Maybe even a 2nd Alarm? Not so much for the amount of fire but for the size of the building. Knock down in about 4 minutes from time of arrival...not too shabby, brothers!

  • yeah baby E54 and im sure L4 is there somewhere. "pride of midtown"!! out of battalion 9 hq.... awesome catch!

  • you can see the ladder at 3:10

  • @CFDChris237 4 Truck is the one that put the stick up to the roof

  • 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

  • My cousin lives there, theres a park across that street and there is also a like hotel i think or something fancy across that street. theres a community garden not to far. The people who own that deli are like arabian i think

  • The greatest place in the world with the greatest firefighters in the world. NYC's Bravest!

  • superb video...fdny did an outstanding job

  • of course as soon as they move the construction debri a dumb cab driver goes thru. nyc cab drivers are the stupidest drivers in ny.

  • @koolcat830

    one day i dream of moving to india or pakistan... to become a cab driver!!

    lol

  • @koolcat830 not dumb, just arrogant

  • styrenepackaging stop commenting on thing you have no idea about u dont flow water into a building to put out a fire because u could kill the firefighters inside unless the initial attack isnt working and you switch to a defensive mode and surround and drown at which time everyone is out of the building and just flow water from every vantage point

  • If styrenepackaging Knew anything about firefightig, Peoples lives are always more important than a little canopy fire. Think before you open your mouth next time!!!

  • Well if styrenepackaging knew even alittle bit more about firefighter he would know they were most likely the F.A.S.T. team and they have an assigned job.

  • Styrenepackaging is obviously an idiot. If he knew anything about fire fighting he would know that maybe rescueing the people trapped on the floors above the fire is a little more important then putting out the small canopy on fire. Maybe you should think before you open your mouth idiot.

  • wow you must be some special type of a super firefighter to make that assumption, im sure your the pride of your dept!

    the canopy you friggan moron?

  • @styrenepackaging if you were a firefighter you wouldn't have made that toddler level comment.

  • nice movie! i like FDNY so well done!

  • Does anyone know what the full assignment of resources was for this incident ?

  • it would have a 1st. response for a 10-75 working fire 3 engines 2 trucks 1 battalion 1 rescue. apone arrival it would then for this call be transmitted a 10-75 all hand which bring in 2 more engines 1 ladder 1 fast truck 1 sat. unit 2 battalions 1 rac unit. but due to the size of the building they may have trans a 2nd alarm which bring an additional 3 engines 3 trucks 2 batt. 1 rescue 1 fast truck ems would be 1 als 2 bls rigs

  • @firemann45 obvisiously you have no idea of FDNY Dispatch Protocol.

    10-75 working fire= 4 Engines, 2 Trucks, 1 FAST-Truck, 2 Battalions, Squad and Rescue. 7-5 All Hands working brings a Division Chief and a RAC.

    A second Alarm brings 4 additional Engines, 2 Ladders, Safety Officer, Resource Unit Leader, Sattelite, Field Comm and TCU, TSU, Safety+Rescue Ops Battalion.

    EMS stands by with 2 BLS and the FDNY CPR Engine.

  • Nice job, nice vid. One room worth of fire. All-hands at best, probably will hold after about 6 minutes of the first 10-84.

    Shaddap to the stupid wife/girlfriend commenting during the video.

  • they needed a new awning anyway.

  • great fire ground operations with what you had to work with due to public works....truely nice video
