Deck and bucket hoses finally do save the day !

According to the Chief in the on camera interview the main body of fire was inside the voids in the structure and the firefighters had to dig it out to put it out..

The problem is you guys often turn up and start trying vent before you have any lines ready to fight the fire and all you end up doing is feeding the fire.

Andy Oxley this is interesting “ Ventilation is a part of structural firefighting tactics, and involves the expulsion of heat and smoke from a burning building, permitting the firefighters to more easily and safely find trapped individuals and attack the fire. If a large fire is not properly ventilated, not only will it be much harder to fight, but it could also build up enough poorly burned smoke to create a smoke explosion or enough heat to create a flashover. Contrarily, poorly placed or timed ventilation may increase the fire's air supply, causing it to grow and spread rapidly. The flashover may cause the temperature inside the building to peak at over 1,000 °C (1,830 °F).[1]” - Wikipedia

@@LoudlabsNYC You obviously didn't read my post or understand. My point was you guys often turn up and start venting straight away without any water to fight the fire. If you turn up and just start venting yes you can release flammable gases reduce heat and improve visibility but you also need a crew with a charged hotline to be ready to fight the fire straight away. If you don't start fighting the for as soon as you vent you are just adding more fuel to help the fire spread.

@@andyoxleyonhistravels Andy we're not disagreeing with you. What we did do is read up on ventilating and what we read was quite educational. Good point for bringing that up though. Perhaps a FDNY member who was there could explain what happened.

I'm coming for you boy

@@andrew8897 u some kind of league expert?

hey no worries, their union bargained for awesome health care benefits that the NYC taxpayers just love to fund. whats the point of having the benefit if you don't use it? not to mention the on the job injury benefits they have as well.

Same here,drive me man. The guys must be daft.

MAGGY FDNY likes to play the big tough guy roles. Its common for the senior guys to mock the junior guys who are masked up. It’s some sorta macho culture thing there. They’re not gonna be so tough and macho when they’ve fried their lungs with cancer or COPD in the long run.

MAGGY D V ......

sure it wasn't manhattan fatal fire caused by smoking? if not that would be one strange coincidence

Freezing

Its not that the places are made of plastic, the problem is REALLY old fashioned buildings with that cursed vinyl siding slapped on to make them "pretty!" the building was obviously a "balloon frame" construct with the fire in all the void spaces (listen to what the Deputy Chief had to say then go online and look up "balloon frame building construction" for more info) with NO firestops applied when it was built! These firemen had their work cut out right from the git-go on this one!
