Without further ado here is the insane 5-alarm fire yall have been waiting for. Upon my arrival, I wasn't too impressed. I saw heavy smoke and assumed I either missed the flames or the flames were on the other side. I'm glad I brought my tripod and so I could keep my hands in my pockets for the most part. The flames started to escalate. Firefighters were ordered off the roof to conduct an exterior attack. They scrambled down the ladders. I was worried the roof might collapse. Not another Sunnyside fire for the sake of the members. The flames escalated into something I rarely get to be so close to. It was almost unbelievable. Then I ran out of SD card space on my camcorder and switched to iPhone X. Still, not a bad video. Remind me to have a phone mount on my camcorder and extra SD cards for situations such as this. Either way, I managed to get a significant amount of flames and was the first press video journalist on the scene. Shoutout to photogs Vic, Seth, & Lloyd also on scene dealing with extreme temperatures. Thanks for the call, Lloyd! Special thanks to Spectrum News NY1 for making this worthwhile by airing this dramatic footage.
