PRE-ARRIVAL AT FULLY INVOLVED HOUSE FIRE - SYOSSET NY 

It's not even my house but I hurt inside knowing so many unreplaceable items were lost in that fire. Such a beautiful home too!

and this is a 100% volunteer department. Most if not all responded to their quarters from a job!!!! Very nice job.

I'm so very grateful that the filmer filmed this in landscape mode and not portrait mode, and that he also held the camera still.

How heart wrenching! 😰 I lost my house, everything I owned & all but 2 of my animals (the firemen resuscitated them) to a bad fire in April 2020. No matter how prepared you think you are, with fire extinguishers, safety plans, etc.. it all pretty much flies out of the window when you're standing face to face with a wall of fire! Scariest ordeal that I've ever been through.. it has haunted my dreams every night since. I basically relive it every night.. its exhausting! My thoughts are with the people who just lost their home. 🙌🏼🙏🏼

I thought they'd only try to save the surrounding houses at THAT point, but they really managed to put it out, and FAST. Incredible work!

I live right behind that house and pieces of the house were landing in our backyard. We saw the family escape out the back door. A police officer came to our house and evacuated us in case the fire spread to our house. It’s crazy to think that if there were more wind that day our house could have burned down too.

If that’s a volunteer fire department, they deserve an award! Outstanding response.

Make sure those packages get delivered and you pull up and stopped right in the middle of a house fire makes sense to me

Condolences to the homeowners for their loss. But major credit to the firecrew for a highly proficient job knocking this fire down so fast and effectively. Extremely impressive! And good camera work, too. As a professional photographer I've been on-scene for quite a few local fires myself and while tragic, it never fails to impress me the amount of work and effort the firefighters put into fighting these fires.

That's a hell of a good volunteer department, wow. Nice job!

Heartbreaking, such a lovely home. Thank God no one was hurt! Excellent job by the firefighters. Superb videography and photography!

As a retired deputy chief I’ve always told my men and women, never be on the bad end of a RU-vid video….move with purpose!

Outstanding steadiness, camera angle, editing, positioning, etc! 😊

(Photo courtesy of FASNY) Among Long Island’s 179 volunteer fire departments, there are nearly 21,000 volunteer firefighters. In Nassau County, there are about 9,500 volunteers, and while that number has remained pretty consistent over time, the factors affecting their demand have continued to change.

I lost my partner in a house fire in the UK. It is the most horrifying event of my life, something i'm still struggling to cope with. rip my beloved Jayne Jarman Addyman, I miss you so very very much xXx.

No occupants inside? Perfect job for the insurance company. Kudos to Command for executing an exterior attack. Minimize risk to personnel especially since the thing's gonna get torn down anyway.

Wow! Excellent job in putting this out! Made me tear up thinking about this families loss.

A SPECTACULAR job by the firefighters on the hand lines the first due pumper and the truck company all worked together for a great stop.

Wow, the Ladder Truck's hose owned that fire :D unlike the 1st responder that arrived, and focused on the old fire, instead of where it was spreading to.

For the amount of fire, once they opened up the 2nd handline. They knock it down quick. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area..

Shocking how quickly the fire expanded, how large it got and how quickly it consumed the house.

I like hearing that pump run in pressure mode. Nice work, quick attack

This edited video that jumps around still shows that it took a very long time before water touched flame. They moved police cars, a Chief SUV and their Engine, hand laid Supply lines before water from one was line used. After arrival of a ladder truck, another line was activated. I just watched a similar situation on RU-vid where the first engine activated the water canon immediately upon arrival, which had a major controlling effect on the fire. Supply lines were hand laid, then two more lines used to attack the fire.

I don’t know the size of this department but very well trained. They knocked this fire down very quickly. Everyone moved with purpose and performed their jobs without hesitation.

Excellent work getting the fire contained and knocked down. Radio call time 17 minutes right after the heavy fire exterior was gone.

Boy, this FD has some beautiful rigs! Love the dark red. Great job by the First Due.

Nice work to everybody involved. You handled it well. "Taking Care of Business" should be your theme song at the Syosset Fire Department.

Great work by the fire department but it's shocking how quickly that fire spread. Clearly the use flammable materials in the construction of the house contributed to the raging inferno this became in minutes. A brick-built or concrete house without plastic or oil-based cladding would not have burned so quickly.

Great job guys. Saved two house's with your quick work.

Water on the fire right away! Nobody standing around! Great job! Thanks first responders!

I’ve been watching a lot of FDNY videos lately and I think they need to take a lesson from this fire department. That was a fantastic knockdown. One of the best I have ever seen. Great job.

Had a home in Alta Loma CA way up Archibald Ave, last home all the way up a block long private driveway, lost it in a wildfire, came right down that mountain and my home was the first thing the fire saw, burned down two fire trucks right there in my driveway, lost everything, luckily no one was hurt and by the time it was all over and done with Farmers Fire Insurance settled for two times what I paid for the home and sold the bare property for more than I paid for it when purchased, great payoff, should have kept it - but invested in Las Vegas Real-estate and pretty much lost 80% of it - smh

Those firefighters took care of business! Great work everyone!!

I grew up in Syosset in the 50s and 60s, used to love watching the volunteers racing up to the fire house when the siren sounded! This department has been outstanding since then IMHO

Every fire I watch, NY fire department is always the fastest!! 🤗

Man these guys are great...not a second wasted and it seems like absolutely no miscommunication...fantastic job. Great coverage too

Blessings to all firemen and those affected by this fire

everyone should know these are all volunteers, our community keeping each other safe.

The efficiency of the firemen and the water pressure on that Ladder truck was awesome.

The first crew on seen was grate. came out the gate gear on ready to go. water on the fire 2.5 min. very damn good.

Great job to Syosset FD and all involved. Glad family was safe.

I'm so sorry to the family. Firefighters and police ty for being there for us. This is so terrible and scary.

Great job guys, good to see water put on immediately instead of watching it burn to the ground along with other houses. Well done.

In 6 min time they took a fully involved structure fire down a few whisps of smoke and steam. VERY nice work!

From a career and volley FF, well done Syosset. That house was done before you got there. Yep, the rear of the house was intact.... from the video. That fire had fast spread throughput. Outside and inside.

Would hitting it at first arrival with the deck gun slowed this fire down or even put it out totally?

amazed at how quickly it spread, amazed by how quickly they knocked it down. Very enlightening.

Outstanding. Got water on the fire and kept fighting. Too many fire departments lack in these areas.

"Everybody Out" response "YEAH" (confidently) then quietly, "Think so" lol

Thats such a sorrow to watch, such a nice house! Stay vigilant and responsible people! And God bless the firemen, for their job!

Watching your own house burn is never easy. My house burned in 77, during an ice storm. Our beautiful first responders did such a great job. Our home had to be remodeled, but no one got injured or killed. Thank you first responders. ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗

The most efficient Fire Dept. I have seen on RU-vid to date. I'm sure you saved a lot of precious memories and personal items for these poor people. Hats off to all involved.

Thank you camera person for not giving us one of those stupid vertical videos.

Man, they clobbered this one! Fantastic work.

I experienced this! Nothing prepares u for the way your life is suddenly uprooted. It took 20 years to accumulate things & it took less than 25 minutes for me to lose it ALL! That's perspective for ya!👍

Sad to see such a beautiful house burn up so fast. The materials used nowadays just make small fires into huge fires quickly as seen with this fire. God Bless every Fire, Police, EMT, and civilians that worked to put this fire out. Keep up the great work you all do daily!!

Had the house out in five min. Those fireman know their job !

Could not imagine coming home to this. So sorry for the owners.

That was the best, most efficient and effective knockdown yet I’ve ever seen on RU-vid. Amazing work is an understatement!! 👍 👍 Almost a complete knockdown by hand lines even before the stick was in the air, and even getting the Truck set up was amazingly fast!

Nice attack and takedown, plus some beautiful work with your deck/deluge gun. The supply engine crew did a nice job hand-laying the 3" supply line into the tower; and it's great that this didn't turn into a "Surround-&-Drown"!

Very well done Syosset. Very well done 👍

I've never understood when you train to be a fireman timing is everything, but when at a scene everyone just strolls around like a day at the park

Great work by command and the crew!

I was surely expecting them to put that deck gun to good use when the first engine rolled up.

Great job! It is frightening to know how fast a fire can get a foothold and do so much damage. Glad everyone got out.

The petroleum house. Vinyl siding, linoleum floors, synthetic stain master carpet and furniture and drapes, plastic electrical boxes, liquid nails adhesive, all of it extremely flammable. Houses built close together to spread the fires. I've watched over a hundred house fire videos, these houses are completely engulfed in less than ten minutes. It was designed to be this way by these spirits who are obsessed with fire. Mostly two story homes. Plastic gas shutoff valves and pilot light control valves on the water heater. These houses are all connected to a high power line of 10,000 volts through a transformer barrel filled with vegetable oil acting as a resister. Power surges can melt plastic electrical boxes, cheap imported switches, adjustable lights, cheap light fixtures can overheat and spark fires leaving people inside with less than 5 minutes to get out. Now people are recharging electric cars and mopeds, scooters powered by lithium batteries. Most houses have maybe a half inch garden hose. Cities need to buy water tank trucks holding 3,000+ gallons with a water cannon and a boom with a penetrator sprayer tip they can drive up and punch through walls and inject water quickly. All home owners need to have at least a 3/4 inch hose and fire extinguishers. LLXIIX77

Another awesome opportunity for immediate deployment of the deck gun. That being said, nice knock.

I saw this as an interesting attack. Didn’t see or hear a 360 given. Might be because it was not a fire unit recording the scene. The attack with the hand lines should have been from the C side not the A side. Push the fire back into the part of the building that has already been burned, don’t push it into unturned house. Also didn’t see any ventilation operations. It was a fully involved structure, but still better tactics could have been used. The fire is out and the house was a loss anyway. Hopefully no one was hurt and the family has good insurance.

Those firefighters took care of business! Great work everyone!!. Blessings to all firemen and those affected by this fire.

Good first in. You can stretch hose, you can't stretch ladders. Front of the building belongs to the truck.

Nice knock-down. An example of a well trained Department. Everyone knew their job. Kudos.

Where these guys got on his job got that far out quick I know there’s a process of getting a cold out but man what a good job he’s firefighters deserve a pat on the back of it and I had a boy

If you are going defensive from the start, why not use the deck gun?

The fire had such a head start, at this point, I think protecting the exposures (the adjoining houses) is their best option.

Quick work on this one. Well done.

There is no feeling like standing and watching your house burn. I watched as ours burnt in 2018. We had lived in that house for 44 years, having built most of it myself when I was 20. Our house was burnt literally to the ground. We had to go buy clothes the next day as we only had what we were wearing. We only lost a house and now have a nice new one. Worse things had to have happened that day. Someone somewhere suddenly lost a child, parent or spouse, like I say, we only lost a house. Hope the family wasn't hurt and that they had insurance.

Bravo 👏 they put that 🔥 out quickly!

Sweet Work Fellas...Nice fast knockdown!

Amazing job of getting that fire out so quick.

That's not going to rub out! 🚨🔥

Great job by all these fire fighters, very quick knock down and very organized! Thank you for keeping us safe! Awesome video! 👍

Wundert mich das es nicht zur einer Durchzündung kam(Flashover),Respekt an die Fire station das die den Brand schnell unter Kontrolle gebracht haben

Iove the work you are doing ❤❤❤

Such a big and beautiful house

Having had a house fire myself unfortunately the water does almost as much damage as the fire itself.

"Is everyone out? Yeah I think so" Folks have no idea what kinds of critical decisions must be made with that information! Do they risk firefighters' lives to search for potential victims or just protect exposures? Awesome to see the engine leave enough room for the truck to get into position in front of the structure

watching this and some others makes me thankful the fire my house had in 2015 was caught soon enough and my dinky little town's fire department ( all local residences and a volunteer department.) acted so quick. that day my mom and sister were going to run to Lincoln for some shopping but i wanted to stay home. was woken up at like 5-6 am to my music that i play off in my upstairs room and the lights wouldnt work. my moms room which is below mine also didnt have power. heard some crumbling in the wall that seperates my sisters room and the small hall way entry way w/e. scariest day of my life. sat in the post office across the street with my bearded dragon and all the cats. we were told that due to the old OLD Tube and Wire that was in the house (its ove 100 years old and the oldest house in Elk Creek). my sister had a small heater plugged into the socket on the wall that caught wasnt on but thats. the fire marshal said there was a chance it had been smoldering for a couple days without us noticing. thank god the insulation was so tight that it couldnt really go anywhere and for everyone in town really. love my dinky little town

This was nothing short of amazing to me. The first truck pulled up @ 2:06 and they had a hose on the fire @ 3:11, the second engine had a hose on it at 4:20, fire is pretty well knocked down in less than ten minutes. I have seen videos where the fire personnel didn't have a hose on it within ten minutes. These guys are SUPERMEN to me. (disregard these remarks if video is edited.)

just like 2 weeks ago my neighbors house across the street caught on fire. I was home alone at the time but literally my mom left like 10-15 minutes before and my brothers bus hadn't come yet. I was just sitting on the couch watching tv and I heard a pop that sounded like a car door shutting so I didn't think anything of it, but the I heard 2 more pops closer together so I was like ok that's not right so I got up to look out the window and their garage is just in flames so I panicked and called my mom, I hadn't seen anyone come out yet so I was nervous but then luckily the girl that lives there got out and was holding one of her dogs. She was also home alone with just her dogs so I can imagine it was very traumatizing for her for sure. When I realized she was alone I went outside (after asking my mom if it was ok) and I made sure she was ok shortly after I went outside the police had gotten there and asked if everyone was out, one of the police went to go get the other two dogs, which were out back so they weren't harmed at all, I took the dog she had with her into my house for maybe 5 minutes cause it was shaking and crying and it was really scared, eventually I took it back outside and gave it to the police officer to put it with the other two dogs. By that time the ladies husband had gotten there cause he was already on his way home. To make this even more stressful on myself this was around the same time my brothers bus would be getting there, they would've been able to pull up closer but more firetrucks started coming so they couldn't pull up where they usually do but luckily I waited by the place they were able to stop at and the bus driver made sure they didn't get off unless he saw me so my brothers wouldn't be confused. I talked to a police officer to tell him there bus would come through just to make sure at least someone knew and then later on sense it was so cold outside and my brothers still had all their bags and stuff I asked that same officer if it was ok for us to go into our house, considering the one on fire was right across the street from us and we live in a court so there isn't as much space. We were able to go inside, which thank god cause I could barely feel my fingers, toes and legs so yeah. By the time they got the fire out it was dark outside so you couldn't really see all the damage as well but by the morning you could really see it all and how it ended up going through the whole house. I am so glad it was just her because it would've been more stressful if multiple people were there at the time, but at the same time I feel bad it was just her home because she had no one there to comfort her in any way. I am so greatful no one got hurt in anyway and that they had a friend who let them stay there considering they have dogs and it's hard to find hotels that allow that. Also I am 15 so it was obvisiouly nerve raking for me too considering I was also home alone and that my brothers were coming home at the exact same time the fire started. If you actually took the time to read all this that's impressive cause I don't know if I would 😅

It amazes me how fast the fire spreads

Great example of a quick defensive attack than transition to an offensive attack. Great knock down, speed and efficiency of the crews. Saved a lot in that house that could have been destroyed.

A deck gun would have made quiick work of a lot of that exterior fire.

A remarkable job these firemen did. Very quick response after arrival, good job guys.

Die schönen HÄUSER und VIEL VIEL mehr🤷🏼‍♀️OH wie schlimm ists auf unsrer Welt🙏KARIN

Best Volunteer department I seen💯

You don't have to a Paid to be a well trained professional fire department, nice job, awesome manpower response, great team work .

I'm extremely paranoid about this happening to me

Vinyl siding? How else does the whole outside become involved?

A perfect time to use that pre piped deck gun. I've seen other departments use it in this exact situation with a lot of success.

Wow!! Everyone saying great job, has anyone ever heard of a transitional attack?!?!! The first line had almost no pressure or the nozzle wasn’t completely open. The second line and the line on the ladder did a much better job. Hit what’s heavy on the outside then make an aggressive interior attack. Could have saved quite a bit more of the house.
