@Himdarling44 its in UNiondale , Long island. its the baddest engine company on the island. and yea there are fdny guys that volunteer. and hose 3 in roosevelt?
@company2brookside Alot of the guys from Nassau Co. and Hose 3 are FDNY aren't they? That's what I've heard from a couple of friends up that way. Also I've heard of Brookside, but I can't remember where. Where is it located?
@Himdarling44 not totally true. certain depts on Long Island, and especially the houses that have FDNY guys in them train like that . the Nassau COunty fire service academy in your HOse 3 class, you have that same scenario of lighting the place on fire and seeing how hot it gets without ur mask on.u learn quick how ppe is good and smoke behavior.
Also I've seen prob 100 or so fires from both working the job, and from watching my dad fight fires as a kid. I have never seen a flashover or backdraft ever happen. I have only heard of it happening once in this town. This personally IMHO looks like a good rolling fire from the front looks like the whole room has burned up and from the back looks like they knocked some of it down and the ceiling is still burning pretty good not a flashover though.
Also FDNY is trained completely different than any other department. The standard rules in the book don't apply to them. Why? Because they wrote the goddamn book. When in probie school, one of the first things they do when in a burn building is light a fire then make you take your mask and helmet off so you can feel when it's getting to hot. As for "roasting" your helmet, only vollies who are never busy roast there helmets on purpose. If you did it in FDNY, you would never live it down, trust me
I'm a fireman and I see absolutely nothing wrong with what he did. I can't tell if he is on a Ladder or Engine company, or if he is a Lt., but normally a truck company Lieutenant is the only FF carrying a TIC so if he has a TIC he most likely is a LT. with years on the job and knows the what hell he was doing. None of us know what he was looking for so we can't judge, we shouldn't be anyway.
thats awesome any other department would be pushing it back into the building but fdny always goes in and pushes it out
