I love reading in comments how some think they can do a better job than possibly the most proficient firefighting unit in the world. Great vid! Great job FDNY! You all do what 95% of us don't have the balls to do. Keep safe out there.
I have the feeling that some people do not know the danger FDNY faces each and everyday and this comes from a firefighter with well over 50 years of experience in volunteer and paid in FDNY
As a first responder exposure and cancer researcher, it always make me wince P seeing firefighters coming out of a burning and smoky building without their masks on!!! What's the point of carrying all that extra weight if you won't use your SCBA, especially with what we know about cancer causes?
The FF for whom the mayday was called fell through the 2nd floor down to the 1st. He heard the mayday call, didn't realize it was on his behalf, and ran back up the steps to the second floor to help. (That's from the press conference.)
You are consistently in the right place right time but you've got to learn to hold the camera steady and not zoom in and out. The footage is vertigo inducing and that's a shame because you were in a position to capture a great story.
Yeah I was mainly going from place to place and moving around and trying to zoom in and. Out on different things I will keep your advice for the next time & future clips.
The ones not wearing gear are chauffeurs and chiefs. Why do you think tou don't see geared up members?....because they're inside working. Cmon man, think.
