HERE YOU WILL SEE THE FDNY BATTLING A VERY FAST MOVING 3RD ALARM FIRE IN A MIXED OCCUPANCY ON EAST 63RD STREET ON THE UPPER EAST SIDE OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY.
Thanks for including the news interview with the head honcho when you can. Knowing the details of the fire kind of fills in the blanks and answers my many questions. God bless ✝️ our first responders…along with our favorite RU-vid fire reporter…
John, another superlative video! I know when it comes to firefighting on RU-vid your channel is the very best, the “gold standard!” Keep up the good work!
I am always impressed with how well all of the members work together. Your Videos are always informative and a good tool for educating the general public. You be safe and take care of yourself. Many to you, and all the members of the FDNY.
Great job as always JJ. I hope before you kick the bucket the FDNY will make you an honorary member for all you do to educate the community about the dangers and importance of the job these brave members face every day.
You always amaze me with your great video, climbing to the roof of adjacent buildings is super impressive. I also like how your commentary breaks down exactly what's going on. You're a real pro, keep up the strong work!
Great video JJ. The fact that this fire didn't spread to the next building speaks volumes about FDNY tactics and proficiency. Hell of a job by the brothers
one of your best "captured" video's.. there is a reason why FDNY is the Gold Standard and congratulations on your hard work honoring that. I'm impressed by your dedication to producing video's with a personalized professional content. really. I look forward to seeing your video's inspite of the tragic loss.
WELL, THAT IS MOST KIND OF YOU AND IT MEANS A LOT FOR ME TO HEAR JASON.....I ALWAYS TRY MY VERY BEST TO OBTAIN THE BEST FOOTAG POSSIBLE FOR YOU ALL ALWAYS.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Great job as always, my man. Glad they were able to get ahead of this thing before it became a monster. Fdny are amazing at their jobs. I also admire your dedication. It’s not easy climbing up all them stairs. I love hearing your voice. It’s so calming.
Such organized chaos. Never ceases to amaze me how the command center keeps track of everything and is able to direct personnel where needed. This in itself is one hell of a talent in the midst of fighting an animal ---- FIRE ---- that is so unpredictable. Thank you John for bringing this to all of us.
Bravo to the men and women of the FDNY excellent knockdown even with a hose line busting. Squad 99 love the view that you had!! I did see your clip on the NYC FireWire!! 2N2 42:21
I totally agree with you bro the members done a fantastic job knocking it down so quick. Keep up the brilliant work your doing bro and look arfter yourself my brother
FDNY is still the best as seen in this case. And you too John. Sometimes i am worried about your country seeing murders racism drugs and so on.But when i see firefighters of each race standing side by side to get the goal i feel a little hope. Greetings from Germany and stay healthy and safe my friend
That is what you train for when that hose burst. Never miss a beat. The boys and girls took control and put out the fire. You had a busy day JJ. Hey your feet were dry. 🚒👍🚒👍
YES, THEY DID A GREAT JOB AND REPLACED THE LINE QUICKLY TO GET THE FIRE OUT.....IT WAS BUSY INDEED WITH 3 FIRES IN 24 HOURS RICK.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Nice work John ......great move getting to the roof so fast.man it went up the shaft really fast , great job by the brother's. They had like 4 different operations going at once. Again great job brother....stay safe !!
Another Great video, but, I worked off the ground a lot. Always had fall protection equipment on. Seeing the edge of the building, I feel I need my harness on just to watch. Please be extra aware of your surroundings when up there. Mike from Ohio.
When The Hose Company Was Pushed Out Of The Store, By The Ceilings Backdraught 🔥 And Their Hose Line Ruptured, Simultaneously Firefighters 🔥 Were Taking The🪟 Windows 🪟, On The Second And Third Floors, Venting And Causing That Backdraught, But Saving A Huge Flashover, On The Floors Above The Store Where The Fire 🔥 Originated, The Fire 🔥 Was Already In The Utility Shafts And Walls, Racing Up Like A Blow Torch To The Cockloft, The 🔥Firefighters 🚒 Did An Outstanding Interior Attack, And Roof 🔥Men Did A Phenomenal Job, Saving The Structure And The Exposures. Well Coordinated Operation. Good Shots J J. Take Care Of That Cough, You Sound Like An Old Smoke Eater. Capeesh 👍🏻🇺🇸
YOU DESCRIPTION IS ON POINT AS IF YOU WERE RIGHT THERE ROBERT.....I ALWAYS LOVE READING YOUR COMMENTS AND LEARN FROM THEM AS WELL.....THANKS SO VERY MUCH.....
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 J J, I Was Right There, With Your Video 📹 Shots, That Told Me The Story, l've Been In Old Buildings, And Lived In A Few. I'm The Last Of The Cold Water Flat Kids, When We Heated Our Bedrooms With Kerosene Heaters And Made Our Own Bathing Hot Water In The Kitchen, Where The Bath Tub Was Located. There's Air Shafts And Utility Shafts In Some Of These Old Building. There Probably Is A Few Still Around With Sealed Up Dumb Wait•ers, When Fire 🔥Hits Them,They Act Like A Blow Torche 💥Flue.That Go Straight Up To The Cockloft Area. Just Like Some Of These Grease Clogged, Duckwork Fires 🔥 Capeesh 👍🏻🇺🇸 Stay Healthy And Safe. 10 - 4
Great coverage as always. You had me a little scared when you looked over the edge of the roof, I was worried you would fall off!! Some great zooming down the shafts. You're a pro! Oh I was also jealous of the beautiful blue skies there, we haven't seen them in sooooo long! Thanks John ☺️
Good video. Once the fire gets into the shaft, especially on the lower floors, it can enter every floor up to the roof. That was a tough fire, but it could have been so much worse. Job well done.
All it needs is an automatic fire damper at every floor level to prevent all that damage. Here in the UK, if a vent from a kitchen runs inside a building, they are statutory.
Hi. Just want to know. When you on scene and i hear the FDNY talk over the radio is it loud so everyone can hear or is it your radio? How does it work thanks
Great video as always JJ. That shop sold uniforms/scrubs, reviews state some questionable business practices going on in there. Fire is suspicious, the owner was due to vacate the property today.
One thing I would love to see on your channel, would be interviews with the firefighters we're watching put out the fires you're filming.. have them discuss the tactics used to put it out, updates on any injuries to firefighters hurt during the battle, maybe they can describe the way the fire spread and behaved during the blaze & find out the cause of the most memorable fires you've uploaded.
WELL, THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE FDNY AND I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD DO IT.....BUT I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT MANY TIMES.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
does your communication receiver handle more than 1 channel at a time as a scanner that skips chanel to chanel to sound like all crossing of communication come on one device ? I am assuming there is multiple channels on scene
Hey John, sometime, when you are not busy, maybe we can get a quick introduction with your face. It is nice to sometimes put a face to a video. Just an idea. Great job on this video.
I believe German Fire Departments could pretty well do as the FDNY do: incorporate a RAC unit. Such a unit would have come handy some 2 years ago when heavy forest fires broke out East of Berlin, forcing the firecrews to combat them at temperatures around 35°C (95F).
Gotta give the boys props... it's hard to get ahead of a fire in a mutli story multiple residence building when it's in a elevator shaft but they did a hell of a job trying to get and stay ahead of it ... unfortunately once it gets ahead of you it's damn hard to catch back up to it.. once it hit the cockloft it was all she wrote for stopping the progression of the fire but they tried like hell
@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 22 yrs in thr fire dept I've been there and it is rough but all you can do is do your best safely!!... thanks for your tireless effort to put out great video content
@@kartracer5g229 Tell me something. How many times in 22 years have you seen fire extend up an elevator shaft in an occupied building and communicate into the cockloft? I ask only because you seem to have erroneously concluded that to be the case in this fire.
@azul8811 3 times in 22 years I can recall off top of my head.. and it isn't what I concluded its what happened In the video.. idk if you commented before watching the whole video or not but that's exactly what happened... in my case it was twice at an old heavy wood timber framed multi story meat plant that was later converted into low income housing after 2 separate restorations from the fire damage and 1 was in a 7 story assisted living facility ...
It seems that these shafts have accumulated lots of grit and grime through the years, with no attempt ever to clean them. It's like the soot in a chimney that suddenly starts to burn bottom to top.
To be honest with you, I wouldn't be certain if that, in fact, was the case here, Jurgen. These air & light shafts were required by code when these tenements were built. While they did provide fresh air and light and were considered an improvement in living conditions they could pose an avenue for fire communicating from one apartment to another. Fire can communicate vertically to the floors above, or laterally into an apartment of the adjoining building...thus resulting in a two building fire. (Many of these buildings also once had dumbwaiter shafts that were utilized for the removal of household trash to the basement level. Such shafts had a bulkhead on the roof with a rope & pulley system. There was an access door to the shaft on each floor (or in each apartment) with the dumbwaiter car manually operated by a rope. While such shafts still remain, the access doors are sealed up and are no longer used. You can imagine what happened if there was a serious fire in the basement that got into the shaft. Such a fire could easily communicate to the cockloft!) In any event....while it is true that in certain neighborhoods, particularly years ago, that the base of the air/light shaft might be filled with a considerable amount of combustible debris... as some residents would throw stuff out the window into the shaft, I would seriously doubt that was the case here. And not as a criticism, but rather as an explanation, I don't think the fire intensity or travel has much to do with the build up of grit, grime and soot. Rather, my GUESS is that in THIS instance, once fire from inside the building extended into the shaft, possibly from fire blowing out of an apartment window, it "auto-exposed" to the floor above by causing the window above to fail, resulting in fire communicating into that apartment. Consequently that action added more fuel to the fire....and the process may have repeated itself to additional floors. As you point out the shaft acts like a chimney. But I'd suggest that the fire was fed by the building contents and structural components. Just thought I'd share some thoughts...
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 No, it's not. The shafts we have here seem like another special architectural feature of NY housebuilding, besides the cockloft. Regards J.K.
I was watching a firefighting video in another city I noticed that the firefighters had lights on the back of their turn out coats I think it was in LA
WELL, A LITTLE HECTIC BUT NOT WHAT YOU SAY ROBERT.....THEY MANAGED TO KNOCK DOWN THIS FIRE VERY QUICKLY BECAUSE OF HOW GOOD THEY REALLY ARE.....THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A MASSIVE INFERNO INDEED....ANYWAY, THANKS SO MUCH.....
