*5TH ALARM EASTER SUNDAY - SYOSSET NY 

who cares what yer fav is.

@@notlisted-cl5ls You really didn’t need to comment, did you? But you did anyway.

They are extremely limited in their usefulness Rarely can they be effectively used offensively where good hand-line work cannot do equal or better and with more flexability

It's definitely a great job with the deck gun. Knocked most of the wind right out. Appeared mostly a defensive fire anyway.

👍🤡👈

Deck guns should be used WHEN it's appropriate...

I total agree with you . They are underused

You need an adequate water supply first before deploying the deck gun, IMHO

@@46fd04 No. Just NO. Dumping the tank through the deck gun is a VALID tactic. It resets the fire and gives you time to establish a water supply.

I'm sorry.

So very sorry to hear this😢

Yeah but you don't do interior firefighting where that wieght would kill someone. You just squirt your little hoses from outside and watch it burn.

There are homes in the UK that have vinyl siding, it isn't strictly an American thing. Also, roofing tiles and shingles are two separate things. Asphalt shingles are the affordable option, but some people on Long Island opt for metal roofing due to the heavy snows there.

I'm so pleased that I live in the US where people can build and live in any kind of home they want

Cool. Good for you.

So sorry for all your troubles and your losses. Hugs

In most cases on Long Island, the cameraman is in a fire department, and knows where he can, and can’t be. There are a few video & photogs on the Island that capture the scenes. The videos & pics are often used for training, etc as well.

The fire fighters did a good job on the fire considering the size of the structure.,the fireload,and windy conditions,, until you've been there ,doing the job,don't bash the firedept personal.

What difference does it make what day its on, its unfortunate no matter what.

@@tomshirey5072 I’m confused what did MD21037 say about the fire department. Did I miss something

Deck gus are a great tool. Just a FYI that 500 gallon tank would only last for about a minute with the deck gun and no water supply. Couple things to look at. 1 location of hydrant 2 what other properties are in danger or life. Fire on both sides of the road. They dump the tank attacking a building that is already a loss and the fire on the other side shifts direction and now endangering the firefighters. Keep in mind neither of us " you and i" was there to know the whole situation. I have been a firefighter for close to 15 years. There is a time when deck gun would be used first. But you need to have replacement water before you use it or life is endangered. It's easy to say they could do this or that from watching a video. I can guarantee when we watch videos of our calls and debrief we talk about the what we could have done and learn for future incidents that arise. No call is the same and going to a location could change day to day. Nobody is perfect, we all make errors. One last thing. The first in officer has to evaluate the scene. Wires are down, fire both sides, finding a hydrant that works. Many things has to be done so they are safe to do the mission. You jump the gun your life or the victims life can be at risk. A building can be replaced not a life. It sucks to lose a business or a home. And there is times we, including myself, blames our self for the loss. But we can only do our best. And if you say different, well wait till your in a situation that causes a loss and get blamed for it from someone who has no idea what happened, only from watching a video. And probably not even experienced in that job. This is not to target you directly. It is for those who only complain because they think it is easy to do from a tv.

@@certeric33 Your former fire department, obviously, had a specialist department that dealt with paragraphs?

@@heli-crewhgs5285 this is the fire service. I'd suggest you adjust your expectations. It's about as rare for a group of firefighters to be grammatically correct as it is for it to start raining frogs. As long as the intended point is conveyed and the fire goes out, it's a good day. (coming from a department that had "wattle bottles" on a checklist instead of water bottles for at least a good decade).

​@@heli-crewhgs5285 😂

​@@certeric33 Well put.

And not only that, but this fire was big and strong and the house next door almost caught fire too

It does a nice job when you can break the stream up on trees.

We used one some years ago in a very difficult to access section of woods right off the roadway in a industrial area. There were hydrants right there and to make it easier a 2 1/4 was pulled off by one engine on one side & the deck gun was used on the other side of the section of woods. Made pretty quick work of it, and definitely didn't have to worry about a rekindle.

Not quite sure where in NY state this I’d, but north-central PA is under a fire watch. For all the rain we’ve had, it’s all run off downhill.

Yes it's been very dry,this is Nassau County ,Long Island.

This was a red flag warning day, very dry winds and humidity down at like 25%.

Yes, Connecticut also very dry and the last few days have been red flag 🚩 warnings for high fire danger.

@@NutmegThumper it's been nuts pretty much all week. RI had about a thousand acres burned due to brush fires over 3 days.

That looks like a pretty old building 🤦‍♂️

Timber is abundant and cheap. You get what you pay for.

This building was built in 1885, which at that point, there probably weren’t even roads to Syosset.

It has absolutely nothing to do with every engine catching a hydrant and supplying water to the fire. But it does has everything to do with manpower from those 25 departments that showed up. Not only do you have a large structure fire with exposure problems but you have a quick spreading brush fire as well. Both of these alone are very labor intensive, let alone going together at the same time. They both require a large mutual aid response (Manpower and water supply)

They have incident commander's on scene

I'm from Elmont. That's a far drive!!

You’re correct. No central command. People not working together.

Your couch is also in disarray..

@@RLTtizME my couch has your mom on it at the moment.

Know it all😡

Terrible firefighting these clowns need to be trained by professionals

Gotts justify the purchace?

You would send personal into a fully involved building or onto a collapsing roof?

On your brain.

Stole my reson for being here.

There's nothing funny about this

@@perrdawg41 huh?

Flowers bright boy.

@@GraemeMurphy he was trying to make a joke about something that's not funny

The only handline you have ever used is a 5/8 " garden hose with a little spray nozzle that delivers about three or four GPM.

@@rj4590 you have no idea what you are talking about

@@jmWhyMe But you do??? Well tell everyone about all your training and firefighting experience .

@@rj4590 you're giving me this BS challenge, without knowing a thing about me - why don't you tell us about all your experience. I stand by what I said about that crew. They took way too long to get water secured, and they were very poor handling their hose effectively or putting the water where it needed to go. Objectively, you cannot dispute any of that. If you want to complain about it feel free, but it just makes you look like a troll. You don't know who I am or what I've done in life, so don't make stupid statements like that...

@@jmWhyMe My training was at the Nassau County fire Academy at Bethpage.If anyone is a troll it’s you;always negative.Answer MY question now,or how about the last time you were on the knob of a 2 1/2” line.

Give 10 of those guys a rake and the brush fire would be out before they ever got the water hooked up

Ummm....you DID see the water from the ladder????? AND, evidently, they have other duties. But thanks for your lame opinion, Mr. Armchair Fireman.

​@@leecarey4375 💯

Must've required extra calls to get the fire completely under control. It did set stuff across the street ablaze as well. You don't know the situation

Getting into very grey areas when it comes to people walking around. The f it doesn’t have caution tape up or someone actually blocking the path . You are absolutely free to go there . Y’all haven’t done it to the right person who knows the laws yet . They will absolutely sue the crap out of you and the government. And most likely win .

House and brush fires. Had to keep it from spreading to other houses.

4 th alarm to scene 5 th was probably cover assignment

@@JS-zb1vv Bullshit. All you have to do is tell them to leave the area. I KNOW the laws, been on the job for 40 years. The scene belongs to the IC, PERIOD.

Wind

Ever hear about embers blowing in the wind? What exploded ? Dummy

Bricks and concrete do fail in fires too not as quickly as wood but your frames, floors,, walls, ceilings etc are wood ...so every type of structure burns some quicker some slower

Try bricks in an earthquake! Fires are not the only hazard.

Funny I heard em say wah ter

WATT TER, what is that, Massachusetts? You know, like when they say from that state "I lost my khaki's" when what they are really trying to say is that they lost their car keys! LOL

And your last name is pronounced Wiseass.

We say WOODER in Philly we don’t speak MassA2shits
