What angle of attack does your ladder have and how is it secured? In Germany we have 65-75 degrees. I don't think it's a safe option for us given our steepness. But good video. Thanks and greetings from Germany.
In America the “standard” Is 75° from what I know from my academy but in all honesty what we do is nuts step on the first rung and the ring that’s straight old should be a full arms length out of that makes sense
If you know, you know. That sh*t sucks! Youre hot, heavy and out of breath. Your body is screaming stop but you cant. You go 10x further than what you thought you were capable of. It looks easy! 😂
I don’t know if this will ever get answered but why not use the hook to just hook onto something or is that for a last ditch no time to wrap the rope to it?
Fire fighters responded to our building and used this tool to open the door for an entrapment - but they didn’t turn off the power. Then the elevator repair guy came and did the same thing.
Most likely they have put it on independent service so people cannot call the elevator from other floors. Either way they have to make sure the elevator doesn't go to the bottom floor and potentially crush/block people down there.
This should not be on RU-vid. These keys are easier to get than they should be and in the hands of someone who doesn't know what they're doing are very dangerous and can get someone killed in a variety of horrible ways.
I'm a maintenance guy at a hotel, and this video saved my life when the service elevator stopped working. Turns out the tracks for the inner door were filled with dirt and needed to be cleaned for proper operation. In any case, videos like this are what helps guys like me learn something new. Instead of censoring videos like this, you should advocate for more videos on how to perform these tasks safely. Let's face it, if I didn't have this video I'd still need to get that elevator door open, and instead of being shown the proper way, I'd do something dumb and unsafe to get it open.
@@slabbulkhead6875 Did you lock out/tag out the controller to make sure the elevator couldn't move unintentionally? Did you ensure that the car and hoistway gate switches were operating properly? Doing this without understanding the elevator system gets people killed. It happens. Maintenance guys die every year trying to perform seemingly basic tasks on elevators. There is a reason we have a 4 year apprenticeship and training. I'm not trying to disrespect or discredit you, but if you open one of these doors and the car isn't there you could fall to your death, if there's an issue with gate switches (like a relation cable coming off on an old set of center opening doors that only had one gate switch) the car could run while you have the doors open and crush you between the wall and the car. This is not something to play with.
@dustin b Yes, I was very safe and respectful of the machine I was dealing with. All power, primary and auxiliary were shut off prior to me opening and working on it. Considering we had recently had the elevator serviced, I knew the extent of the work I had to do would be trivial, and the issue couldn't be anything more than dirt in the tracks. If it were any other issue, I'd call Otis and have them send a qualified technician up and I wouldn't touch it any further. While I am not a qualified technician, I was given a decent amount of training regarding very simple maintenance of the elevator systems.
@@dustinb3216totally agree with you. I'm a 65% and everything you've said is true. People please don't ever open a door or anything reckless with elevators. They can and do kill.
Rob Morris is from New York he was a firefighter in New York City for 40 years so back in 1973 he joined the FDNY and was assigned to either an engine or ladder company in The Bronx, after that he got promoted to lieutenant in either an engine ladder or squad company then in 2002 he got promoted to captain and joined Rescue 1 at 530 West 43rd Street between 10th and 11th Avenue on the lower east side in Midtown Manhattan just north of 34th Street which is also north of Hudson Yards, he joined the company after his good friend Terry Hatton died in the World Trade Center collapse on September 11th 2001, 3 guys of Rescue 1 remained in there after the attack in 2002 but there may have been more of them that did survive with the 3 guys such as Paul HashHagen, Joel Kanasky, Alfred Benjamin, Anthony Tedesco, Todd Smith, and a few others, here are the 11 guys from Rescue 1 that died on 9/11: Terry Hatton, Dennis Mojica, Dave Weiss, Danny Duddy, Joe Angelini Sr, Bill Henry, Mike Montessi, Gary Geidel, Brian Sweeney, Gerry Nevins, and then Joe Angelini Sr’s son Joe Angelini Jr from Ladder 4 died with his father in the north tower when it collapsed, also in 2007 before Alfred Benjamin retired the guys of Rescue 1 including Rob Morris responded to a 10-60 (major emergency) on West 38th Street and 6th Avenue in Hell’s Kitchen just 4 blocks from Engine 34 Ladder 21, the private utility worker was excavating and he was down about 15 feet under the street, and his jackhammer contacted a high voltage conduit, which caused an explosion and a flash and he also received some burns, they were taking out these old conduits and adding some new conduits and he was not electrocuted but he did receive a shock, alright and he was removed and tended to. Now I got that same exact explanation of the reason for Rescue 1’s response from Rob Morris himself just 6 years before he retired from the FDNY on his 34th year of firefighting, so if you look up FDNY close up special operations command on RU-vid you’ll see the uploader was the New York City Fire Department and they have emergency medical service with station 32 in Brooklyn, engine company with Engine 23 in Midtown Manhattan, ladder company with Ladder 176 and Engine 233 in Brooklyn, special operations command with Squad 61, Squad 18, Squad 1, Squad 41, Squad 252, Squad 270, Squad 288, Rescue 2, Rescue 3, Rescue 4, Rescue 5, and most featured Rescue 1, fire safety with one of the captains of the FDNY, Hotdog, firefighter Medina, lieutenant Mancuso, and the fire zone, and much more, Rescue 1 was organized in 1915 and celebrated 100 years almost 8 years ago in 2015. Rescue 2 was organized almost 10 years later in 1925. Rescue 3 was organized almost 6 years after Rescue 2 in 1931. Rescue 4 was organized the same day as Rescue 3 on June 1 1931. Rescue 5 was organized almost 17 years later in 1948. All 5 rescues, all 6 squads, multiple hazmats, more than 100 engine and ladder companies more than 40 battalion chiefs and more than 10 division chiefs responded to the WTC on 9/11.
Ok, I'm a little confused. I was born & raised in Neptune & a FF with The Hamilton Fire Dept. I moved many moons ago. Why is Glendola in scene? Shark River Hills Fire, Hamilton?? A GF in HS lived in that Building, far end. Great footage ❤️
All the elevated trucks and not a drop of water from them. Looks like when we were 10 playing with our Hot Wheels! Guess nobody walked around the back and seen it no longer existed! Doesn't look like they even did any work there! Guess if you let all the combustible burn up then you technically did your job!
Because it wasn't an outside operation at first. There were three lines stretched attempting an interior push then when pulled out they used handlines until master streams had a supply. Leave this stuff to people that have a clue and stick to your computer stuff
Isn’t the fire fighter suppose to do a leg lock when stopped like that? Seems extremely unsafe to be smashing something without having your body secure
@1987Miketyson I can also buy B key for a fire alarm panel. But again, it is not common. If you even know they exist you are ahead of common knowledge.
They didn't show but you push against the other side of the rounded metal area that the key is on at 0:25, this just disengages the lock and you can now slide the door open
That move saved my life at one time, or at least kept me out of the burn center, but guys be very conscientious of the placement at the end of the ladder. It’s extremely hard to do this if it’s even a little bit above the sill. I’d rather have a not so good angle with the ladder below the sill than a great angle with the rungs above the sill. This is also the case for a rescue as well. If your trying to muscle someone unconscious out the window that extra few inches will make or break the rescue. Good job getting this info out there brothers
I’m the beginning with the Sutphen Engine, That is a 1991 model and they have had it since 1991, 30 years later November 25th 2021 they still have that beautiful Sutphen
