24 Hurt in 6-Alarm Sunset Park Fire 

Why is there an unmanned bucket right on the corner doing nothing ? Can't it's hoses be operated from the ground ?

My dad was a city firefighter in Western New York for many years. Mom and I would go where the fires were, even in bad weather. No matter how many inferno fires we saw, praying residents, pets, dad and all his firefighter brothers made it through safe.God love each & every firefighter.❤️❤️🚒🚒✡️

What a fire breathing dragon! And the wind whipping thru didnt help. God bless all the fire fighters.

My thanks to LOUDLABS for a firsthand look at the FD's response to a devastating fire, the action and how a great fire department handles such fires.

I can hardly watch this video. I can only imagine to be tasked to fight this fire. NYFD-you're the best

Other then getting seasick watching parts of it from the shaking, it was a good video. Especially love the shot of the Coast Guard helicoptor fly over at 7:16. Stay safe FDNY, great job.

Wind is playing havoc with this fire!

All these years later and it still bothers me to hear those sensors beeping on Firefighter jackets! Takes me right back to 9/11!😭

34:59 would make an amazing photo. Ignore the people complaining about the shaking camera in the beginning. I think the footage came out amazing.

I wished me that Mattel would make a lot of dolls from the legendary and brave men and women from the NYFD that children could play with them! I would buy them all and collect them all! Maybe they should also make sure, that a good amount of money they get with them will be donated to the fire department and victims of fire! By the way, I find this video here very fascinating and great to see, but I pray for the people who lived in this building and lost their homes and their belongings and for the people who got injured during the fire! May God bless them and give them all the power to heal and to come over with all! Amen 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Lovely greetings from Sarah from Germany and have a great day and enjoy your time and stay safe and out there and take care of you all the time 💖🙋💖🙋💖🙋💖🙋💖🙋

I use to live at 4011 7th Ave. My sister went to that Elementary school. Our apartment building was similar to this one. Right across from Sunset Park. Prayers to all individuals who lost their apartment and all their personal belongings.

Wow. That fire is so big it generates it's own weather. I was expecting a few lightning bolts to slam through that smoke.

A friend of mine lives around that area and witnessed that happening too. My condolences goes to the people she knows that live around that area who have to deal with a very terrible and horrific incident that’s unpredictable and saddening

Thanks for such a long video and great job editing, as always! 🍎🗽🚒🚑🚓🌬🔥

This fire even made it to the Press in Germany - a miracle that no one was killed! Murphy's law that the fire started at the top floor!

Great footage! Outstanding coverage.

Kudos to the men in the ladder buckets. They were key to starting to knock down this fire.

Can someone tell me what a firefighter does when nature calls? Especially when your at a fire for 25 hours.

I saw another YTers video of the same fire. Yours is MUCH MUCH BETTER. All I saw was smoke for almost an hr

That wind is like a super villain lol

A shame so many people lost their homes.

Great job FDNY

Sunset park my 1967 playground

Got marshmallows?

Great video guys. Perfect shots of multiple units trying to get ahead of the flames. Lot of excellent firematics at work. Would be great training film.

Why are ladder trucks with no built in hoses, used at least to string two or three hoses to firemen in windows of exterior ?

there videos form FDNY still amaze me. Seeming so many and seeing trends on how they fight fire is almost shocking. How they can let every fire go threw the roof and destroy the entire build is amazing. Watching this video for instance, why keep putting water on the top floor when it's all burned away? Why not work on the floor below where all the heavy active fire is? Set the first tower up and start spraying water but then move the bucket and the wind blows most of the water away. Why not leave it on the one side facing the wind and use the wind to your advantage? Its like they almost try to make it look like they are doing something but actually trying to burn the building down..

what is keeping the ladders from getting hot..they are right in there close to the flames.

I don't get it tower ladder 131 was set up at the corner of the building below the fire floor for 10 minutes doing nothing before they put it in operation after the fire spread to the rest of the floor 😯

Thanks for the news. I'm originally from NYC Big 🍎. I still like to know what's going on!

Like your videos do you have to plaster loudlabs across the screen?

Wow! Thirteen minutes into video before first water hits the fire! What is this, a controlled burn?

N.Y.F.D. are badass Firefighters, biggest balls ever . I salute you always! AJK Retired IAFF brother

Great video, guys.

well done lads you did a great job have a good journey and day

i got a question for a firefighter please.when you guys are on the ladder and nature call you can hold it but only for so long so what do you do ?

Great videos, but bad fire. Thank you

My old school was right next door and I witnessed it right after school when I came back after going home… I remember seeing it unfold… horrifying, there was smoke in the school for days…

Loudlabs sounds familiar. Were you ever part of a documentary on first responder pictures and videos that you sell to news outlets etc? 🎥

So tell me how they can have so much equipment and men, then take so long to do anything ? Like put water on the fire??? Put up a ladders into the fire and let it burn up! Is this intentional?

Fire is a hungry, hungry beast 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Que inoperancia con tanto equipo. Cual es el.motivo que lo hace ver que no apagan sino que dejan consuma el fuego

Nice Work Guys!

good video but run it through youtube stabilizer

Excellent...

Is there a reason that FDNY decided not to put master streams on all their ladders?

Good coverage! Why was it a 10-66?

A little water on that Fire might be a novel approach

500 years late to the party, but god it sucks that it jumped to the next building. Wind and access must have been a nightmare.

Isnt there a risk that the floor gives in of all the water (when the down floor isnt burned out)?

The ware coming out of that basket was nasty, Was someone drawing from a creek because of hydrant scarcity again?

Hey how do you get access to the scene? Also what scanner do you use in the background?

Why did it take so long to put water on this fire ?

Any particular reason why they’re not putting water on this Fire just a thought left the aerials in the window to get burned but no water coming out of the tower no water coming out of nowhere a couple fools going in with small lines that are just going to get them kill killed where is the water?

Oh no! Did it spread to another building?

The LOGO in the middle of the screen is annoying.

did you catch the one on 59 and 4th ave

Is there any next day video? Please

that trucks back flap said it all it ain't easy

What exactly was ladder 131amd others doing all that time??????????? Shopuld have been in action when fire was on top floor and not wait until the lower floor was consumed Thought the idea was to put water on the fire - putting it out??????? Is there some new theory where we simply let the building burn down now?????????????? Why risk firefighters when you can put large volumes of water right onto the fire.

My school is right next to that building and i was in CFL and there was so many screaming from the walkies and the whole CFL evacuated to the park and one of my friends live in that building

Ni har alldrig funderat på att skaffa ett stativ till kameran ?

Why was there no water from outside being applied?

Good video!

All of there hook and ladders need hose & nozzles .

Well if there ever a reason to cut back the budget. I saw a bunch of ladder trucks and tower trucks that were doing sweet F all. Well I should correct myself one was getting the top of the ladder good and roasted. This excuse/reason to not deliver water in the windows via the ladders and towers due to FFs being inside. Its true that steam burns are very serious. But 16 icebergs melted before any FFs were inside the building. Until the got inside they could have put a lot of water through the windows. The tower nozzle cam be controlled from the bottom. But no it just was raised for the sake of raising it...and putting hours on it. Well maybe I'm wrong they would have to find a hydrant and sent up supply lines. Which came first? The ladder or the hydrant because it certainly wasn't the water. That was a display of having far to many apparatus. Less vehicles with more FF on them. Way cheaper and WAY safer as very heavy trucks that are difficult to maneuver and stop. Less apparatus saves tons of money. Also there is no reason in this day and age that every ladder doesn't come with a nozzle permanently attached to the top. Again there is that tradition. It's been a couple of decades in the metropolitan area I live in that didn't have mounted nozzles on their ladders, towers and quints. In my humble opinion large older department kinda get stuck in their ability to progress. They are to attached to tradition and not modernizing. Old School...repeat as necessary

Great video

The watermark "LOUDLABS" appearing through-out this video is very distracting.

thanks 4 the video

9.50 and I still have not seen any water heading to the fire???

Why the RU-vid channel name always emblazoned in the middle of the screen whilst Loudlabs is written at the very top and bottom? You got some identity issues?

Putting water on the fire sure would make alot of sense, but let us continue to wait and see if it snuffs itself out

Why does it take so long for ladders to hit the fire. It cant take that long to get men out, nor starting to hit roof matter when they are in stairwells 2nd to 1st floors.

good question.

Awesome coverage of the fire scene. 💪💪💪🦵🦵🦵

that wind is making it a blowtorch up there

Those pre-war apartment buildings are fire traps.

Shout out to Ladder 8. We don't forget you.

This would have been a great video if the cameraman had been using a camera stability device.....do they even think about how much the shaking decreases the value of their video has while shooting?

can someone tell me if this loudlabs news video? i mean is this LOUDLABS? i cant tell. if there was only some way they could put a huge distracting logo in the middle of the screen or something that would say who took this video. they need to do something to make this stand out a bit and show who shot the video and who owns it. maybe have some other logos spread out across the video as well. and contact info of some kind.

Damn, that wind is whipping.

Oh dear Close to 8 ave

Why do we only see these kind of fires in the US? It looks like Bangla Desh - but at least there, they arrest the people who build such firetraps. Once again, a fire reaches the cockloft, and is able to spread very fast over the whole complex, and destroy the topfloor and part of a lower floor. 'Yes, ma'm, this building is safe; there's firewalls all over the place'....but they forget to say that the firewalls only go as high as the ceiling of the topfloor, leaving the cockloft completely open (or maybe separated by some flammable chipboard), and act as a fuse for a fire to spread it across the whole building, even to the other wing!! Don't bitch about the FD; I don't think there's much they could have done with a fire like this; there's no single place to make a stand. Great video, though; should be mandatory viewing for architects, builders, and building inspectors.

Took WAY too much time getting water on that fire!!!

Sorry for the injured Grateful no serious casualties or fatalities

I don't know how many guys have actually fought fires this way I grew up in Chicago watching them fight massive fires I moved to Colorado and became a volunteer 18 years later I chose to retire first and foremost has anybody ever tried to put a hose stream up six floors it's not going to work especially in that wind so you're going to have to do interior to get it up water on the Fire that means stretching 500 feet of inch and 3/4 of 6 floors if you can make it up there first alarm assignments usually two to three trucks in New York I don't know about anybody else but my department taught us life-saving first before firefighting from the comments of 24 people injured that's the people injured 54 displaced but there was how many apartments that had to be searched that all takes time second alarm brings a couple more trucks they're still doing rescue and search and rescue third alarm brings few more trucks finally they might start trying to fight the fire from the exterior by this time it's probably an hour into the fire from when it actually started not from when the first truck got on scene that might be only 30 minutes not enough manpower for something that high up with that old of a building which was probably never retrofitted with sprinklers built-in probably 1940's 1930s the building was was probably built with primary plaster and lath interior with some firewalls but they didn't have the technology we do today so when the Fire gets going with the fire load of the Apartments and the construction material of the building plus the wind they're pretty much was no hope for a save on the upper two floors they did their best and they always do maybe not to your standards but for a City the size of New York with the age of the

Where does all that water go , must be a total waterdamage in the whole building and basements full of water

no, don't say bullcrap, i want the truth.

Sounded extraordinary windy

yes, i'll be your emergency relief 600 years from now. for an austraulian producer. alright there it is. prevent it beforehand.

What was with the coast guard chopper?

Why aren't they putting water on It?!

19:32 Anyone know why the water from the hose is so dirty? Not that it matters , just curious.

no, go ahead taunt me again tomorrow...

go ahead, prevent the fire 600 years from now beforehand.

My God!!

right, find the 2023 korean fireworks in their tower that doesn't exist for another 260,000 years.

13 minutes in and I’m wondering….is anyone putting water on this?

The ladder goes up the ladder comes down with nothing accomplished

Makes me sick watching how FDNY fought this fire. People are homeless because of their firefighting tactics
