FDNY 5-Alarm Fire | Brooklyn Box 3005 

The problem with these old structures is that they have seen numerous business changes and no telling how many renovations and remodels since being built. So you never know what you're getting into when you have an extended deep-seated fire. It really comes down to opening up (top-side) and essentially allowing the fire to come to the firefighters. It's not worth having a catastrophic instantaneous collapse with a 2 or 3 companies inside. I think once they opened up and realized they had a very hot deep-seated fire in the cockloft the commander made a wise decision to pull interior firefighters out and go defensive!

Like always awesome coverage!

For the fire to be confined to a small one-story building, the fire sure seemed to be stubborn and hard to get at, even with handlines on both sides of the fire being played from above, a bucket tower in operation at the center front as well as an aerial tower at the rear and at least two interior attack lines all in play. Good video, thanks for the chance to see it firsthand.

For all of these Firefighters, I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I still say, your weight in gold.

Great job FDNY

Great footage, this fire seems like it got away from them...

FF. stackpole great to see a legacy on the job

Saw a big black smoke to my north-northwest around 7:15AM as I drove east on the Belt pkwy. Saw an NYPD helo heading straight in that direction from Floyd Bennett and what looks like 3 other helos circling.

Was there a guy across the street that was smoking?

My friend's house was destroyed after the fire. Plus on that day MY FRIEND AND I CAME TO SCHOOL LATEEEEEE!!! She needs a new home!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Looks like a two alarm fire with three alarms standing around.

I see that there are stubborn fires that are in the cockloft of these 1 story buildings. The flames take lots of time to be extinguished that it needs more than one cherry picker to extinguish them. That is a big job for the New York Bravest.

What are those beeper things that go "dee doo weee do" over and over again? I recall hearing tons of those in the videos of aftermath 9/11/01 wreckage.

All Units Out. CORRECT?

Hopefully the hurt fireman will make a full recovery.

That black Viper smoke 🧑‍🦯

40:37

Too much organization and too little action, fire burned out of control because of it.

Oh no not the sushi place.

That E Sushi is the greatest place in the world!!!! What a shame that this happened. Hopefully they can bounce back.
