FDNY - Ladder 4 - Engine 5 Acting - House Responds

[kfrankhouser131]

its amazing how many ppl just walk past with no care in the world and not caring that we risk our lives on every call not knowing if we are coming back alive....ive been in the service for almost 10 years but im only a Vol. firefighter in mifflin county,pa in a small town of Burnham, i do this bc i wanna help and protect my community and i do it for no more then a thank-you....i admire you guys in the FDNY you guys do amazing work....hope you all stay safe and thank-you for serving for city

[FdNy8231]

@kfrankhouser131 Thank You for serving your Community as well ... We are all brothers ... :)

[kalleok]

Always the window down and the arm out, even if it rains

[1983Valiko]

In Ukraine we need 42 sec. for respound.... you need 2 min 31 sec. Very bed. (Sorry for my English)

[FdNy8231]

@1983Valiko Hehe ... U camp out in your rigs brother .... ??? :) Also the first responding units on this call were on the street in LESS than 20 seconds ... That video is also up here ... These guys were the 2nd due companies ... :)

[oliverjumelle]

@FdNy8231 a firefighter friend of mine in paris france told me that. at night when a call comes in they have 3 minutes to get ready and jump on the rig.

[1983Valiko]

@FdNy8231 Sorry, my apologize to you... 20 sec - this is record respounding... Once more - sorry? I was not right (sorry for my English)...

[FdNy8231]

@1983Valiko That's okay I would have thought the same had I not been there to see it live ... :-)

[Airlick123]

@1983Valiko Very Bad? FDNY Still fights fire better then Ukraine, they don't stand outside with hoses and bicycle helmets like you, they go in and fight it the right way, responding in 43 sec and being a pussy isn't faster then a 2min 30sec response and actually fighting fire. Very Bad. (Sorry for my assholeness).

[1983Valiko]

@Airlick123 Special to you I said: I didn't know that these guys were the 2nd due companies... And I didn't choose fire engine or fire clothing, I just doing my job. I did not want to disappoint you. But if we respound second or third, we are try to go as quickly as possible. Standards for the respoundion and we exit the alarm has not been canceled and even our colleagues simply need help. (Sorry for my English). Good luck to you...

[1983Valiko]

@Airlick123 "I didn't choose fire engine or fire clothing" - I mean our poor country and our goverment.

[TH3GR1FF13]

@1983Valiko Plus do you guys have stupid civilians who have to be guarded from walking in front of fire trucks? Also, they cannot leave the house unless they know the doors will be shut. Years ago, someone ran in before the doors shut all the way and stole a fire truck and took it for a joy ride. Now they have to make sure the doors are shut and no one gets in.

[jasonbsa]

@TH3GR1FF13 thats not for all the houses here...

[Dusco25]

$15 could have got you what you see walking at 0:45

[yanstat]

Why are real Qs banned in NYC?? Thats rediculous!!

[AngusTheCow95]

Why use a E-Q2B? EVERYBODY Moves with a Regualr Q2B

[FdNy8231]

@AngusTheCow95 The REGULAR Q's are banned in the city that's why they use the Q2B's ... They are quieter ... :)

[adcnortty]

I love how there is this BIG RED Fire Truck with lights on only maybe 10 feet from the sidewalk...WITH LIGHTS ON and people walking right in front of it like it not even there. Clueless!

[tannerwells100]

And u wonder why there response times are so bad they take there good old time

[psp310]

@tannerwells100 with all the traffic and assholes who don't move out of the way getting on scene is 4 minutes is pretty good

[lawardtx]

Dam they are slow to respond.Dont worry it will burn up or die before they get there.And I a fireman..

[cooldude2001100]

2:21 DITCH HIM!!

[mrstix2306]

ladder 4 being replace

[FdNy8231]

@mrstix2306 Yes with a new Ferrara Rear Mount .... 

[mrstix2306]

@FdNy8231 yep 

[HaloSpaceAgency]

@FdNy8231 Is the plate above L4 the plate that was on the ladder during 9/11?

[FdNy8231]

@HaloSpaceAgency Yes ... It was recovered 3 months after the attacks on the towers ..

[69LaFrance]

I wonder if Engine 5 could possibly turn out a little s-l-o-w-e-r.

[wannabenj]

You know I hope I don't jinx the guys who drive the trucks but these guys are simply the best.They maneuver these monster trucks into a tight fire house and they maneuver the trucks thru these tight blocks and a ton of traffic without getting into accidents.God Bless the FDNY.

[Bilbodr]

why's there a truck parked in the road

[FdNy8231]

@Bilbodr They had returned from another call and Engine 5 was Acting as theme .. since they hadn't returned to their quarters(E5) Engine 54 parked on the street ...

[wannabenj]

You know working for the FDNY is an insomniacs dream job,They really don't get much down time between calls.

[FdNy8231]

@wannabenj Your right on the money with that comment ... :) I got video of these guys back at this SAME box this week ...

[mrengine9]

@FdNy8231 True but there are sadly stations (well sad for them sometimes) that get 1 or 2 calls a day i bet...somewhere in the distant edge of the boroughs haha

[Coasterrider210]

love ladder 4

[mlps93]

Slow for a fire call.

And was that some random pedestrian stopping traffic?

[jujumediazone]

Wow, those two firefighters just barely made it on that second rig... hurry! jump on...

[Breezin36]

2:22 Wait for me!!!

[mbc2915]

@Breezin36 they get in the truck outside the garage b/c theres no space in the garage for them to open doors and also to block vehicle and pedestrian traffic

[Breezin36]

@mbc2915 I know :)

[RampantFury925]

Right above Ladder 4 you can see the sign recovered from the old rig that was lost on 9/11.

[runhot0576]

Not that I'm not glad to hear it, but I was under the impression that FDNY was no longer allowed to use Q's on their trucks?

[cwjones0322]

@runhot0576 EQ2B. FedSig's answer to the "no mechanical siren" bullshit noise law.

[wannabenj]

This is one circumstance.What about the ones that we don't see where they are under 30 secs.

[Zantozzzz]

what are those big black tubes the engine trucks have on their sides?

[FdNy8231]

@Zantozzzz Sounds to me like you're talking about the hard suction hoses ... They are used to make the hydrant connection for a water source ...

[Zantozzzz]

@FdNy8231 yeaa those ones. You mean that if they are near a lake or something they use them to get water from there?

[FdNy8231]

@Zantozzzz Yes .... Exactly ...

[iBreathSCBA13]

@Zantozzzz there hard suction pipes its pretty much for drafting out of a lake or a pond or the river if you had to. Your not supposed to but where i volunteer if you had to cross a street with a supply line you put that hard suction in so cars can run it over

[lcfr174]

@iBreathSCBA13 beieve it or not, when a street is blocked by a hose, it is shut down. also,. vehicles running over HSL can damage them. ur dept needs to update they SOP's man

[alex88hunter]

@Zantozzzz they hold hoses

[25Yankeesfan]

F*** the eq2b

[familyguyjc]

the engine out on the street looks like engine 168 's old rig

[FdNy8231]

@familyguyjc It might be ... :)

[djkeylo]

ruggged

[CryingShadow01]

that was engine 5 i know it by the godzilla dinosaurs on top plus i knew someone that works at that firehouse.

[FdNy8231]

@CryingShadow01 The BIG E5 on the front helps too .... :)

[CryingShadow01]

@FdNy8231 lol yeah, i thought somebody had commented that it was engine 5 acting as engine 54

[MsAutobodyman]

fdny great video thanks for your service

[YelpBullhorn]

I love to watch New York's finest, but I am often amazed at how long they take to turn out. It was 2:40 into the video before Engine 5 turned out. Here in the UK, full-time fire crews are required to turn-out within 30 seconds of a 999 call being recieved at fire control, which is some going. I'm sorrry but 2:40 is not.

[CuseRecorder]

@YelpBullhorn

But you have to take many things into consideration. They need to check maps, Get gear on, Listen to the dispatch. Plus, it takes more planning to fight fires from the inside ;)

[playswithboobs]

What Engine company was sitting on the street?

[FdNy8231]

@playswithboobs Believe it or not it was Engine 54 ... I believe that Engine 5 Acting 54 had not been given their ticket home yet prior to the call coming in so they were dispatched .... Thanks for the comments ....

[cfdcaptin1]

nice video fdny 343 never for gotten

[FdNy8231]

@cfdcaptin1 Amen .... They will forever be in our hearts, and on our minds ... Thanx for the comments ...
