So they spend 12 minutes moving the. Bucket around, bring in a second. No water

Indoor propane tanks coupled with that level of clutter often indicates a drug operation. Seeing that reminds me of the neighborhood I grew up in. What I appreciate most about your channel is that there is no sensationalism or clickbait, just good, professional and respectful coverage. Thank you for that. ❤

Yo JJ how come you never go to Boston Massachusetts? Theres action here to bro.

That's a good boy! Fun fact you can use at parties to impress people: Dalmatians are the Firehouse dogs because they are very calm around horses; and of course before trucks it was teams of horses that pulled the fire wagon and the dog would run alongside it! The goodest of boys.

Good catch, stay well

The sights and sounds of NYC 🫶🏻🇬🇧🫶🏻

Great job JJ and FDNY guys 👍🚒🔥

Nice catch JJ!

Da Bronx nice catch

At 22:44, the spray bottle is for checking for propane leaks. Amateurs use soapy water, but NYFD probably has some superduper leak detector that costs a hundred dollars a gallon.

There was an incident that happened in Minneapolis on new years eve while 44 was pres. The building was beside a mosc and it went boom. People were blown out Windows and ended on street with limbs mssng. When first responders arrived building was fully involved and people were climbing out Windows of 3 story. This never got investigated and natural gas was not at fault and gas would not have kinetic energy. It was shut down by the big guy even though it was tragic. First responders never seen anything like it and never made comments on how or why. I saved video

Natural gas goes up and propane goes down. Migrating to lowest levels never keep it in buildings especially with basements

Nice

Fascinating video! The thoroughness of the FDNY is incredible. Thanks for hanging in there, JJ. I watched it until the end.

JT is a beautiful very good boy~! Shalom

I think the bald older man was the occupant of the apartment. He looked really sad and lost. If he had been doing something illegal, he probably wouldn’t have stayed around.

They are spraying leak detection spray on the bottle joints. It will produce bubbles if there’s a leak. And the probe in the bag is a digital gas leak detection device 👍🏻

Great info from JJ and all of you folks! Beware of radio problems during G-4 solar flare on Friday night and Saturday. Also, the Aurora might be visible as far as Alabama! Just FYI. Also, my vote for the reason for the tanks…Meth. I am a bit of a Scrooge toward my fellow humans lately! ❤️‍🔥🚒❤️‍🔥

What ever was going on in that apartment it's definitely sketchy. The whole building would have been damaged if they went boom. Another great video John. 🇬🇧🤔

Cool 👍❤️💙

“Who’s a good boy?” ❤️🐾

Thats what happened to my car

Guess those tanks were empty, nice footage again John thnx.

The king of prime time does it again. Love the content of this one people have a lot to learn and thank you for letting us come along for the journey. Be safe my friend

Can you imagine what would have happened if that ebike battery had exploded woth those propane cans nearby? Yikes.

The LEL or Lower Explosive (flammable) limit of propane is 2.1 percent of propane in air in order for it to burn. 4% of the LEL would be about 0.08% so it would not burn at this concentration. When doing gas detection for welding jobs, OSHA would say don’t weld or do “hot work” if there is >10% LEL. Most places don’t allow any LEL since if there is some now, there could be more later.

Great video JJ

Great video once again John, and great stop by the FDNY! I just don’t understand why they purposely removed and destroyed the battery on that e-bike. Looking at the video it is quite obvious that it was not the cause of or was even involved in the fire. Heck the tires are still even inflated, so it didn’t even receive much heat. Now I do understand that e-bikes with Lithium-Ion batteries have been a great cause of many fires in NY City recently with substantial damage and even loss of life, but that’s not a reason to destroy it if it wasn’t involved. Lithium-Ion batteries are in about every cordless DC powered thing now days. I’d even bet that the gas sniffing device that the Fire Department used to check the propane tanks is probably powered by one.

Using a scale to estimate volume of contents and a gas detection sniffer on the 2 propane tanks to check for any leakage... Good Lord what a production they make of taking the valves off of the propane tanks! Something we did for 30 years with one person in about 5 minutes or less. Screw a hose into the outlet of the tank open the hand knob listen to it vent if there was any pressure inside, put a socket on it and spin the valves out - it's really simple until you get 18 safety agencies having a say in it. Thousands of people all over the country if not the world are using propane tanks and camping type small cook stoves or propane heaters. Of course they are not supposed to be used indoors, but people do it anyway. Especially in HUD housing and projects where a lot of people can't afford the utilities. This is nothing new it's been going on for as long as I've been around the industry.

Thanks JJ very informative video..Stay safe.. At least the fire was on first floor..Propane tanks and E bikes not good... cooking with propane tanks inside not good... FDNY great job..

Hi JJ, they are using a gas tracker. It beeps fast when it detects gas. But you are supposed to use tracker first, then spray. The tracker picks up the glycol in the spray. Scale is to see if there empty. You got the daily double, propane and e- bike.

So why did they remove the battery from the E-bike if it wasn’t part of the fire ? Was it burned ? Or they just didn’t want it to be used again? Or was it not UL approved? I know there issues with these bikes and scooters in NY . Great video!

damn, all the ingredients for a major KABOOM 🤔 nice work by FDNY and JJ as well 👍

Yes, probably looking for evidence of a meth lab. When I was on my local FD we were taught that sometimes propane tanks can be filled with anhydrous ammonia used in cooking meth. They will also probably check for other chemicals commonly used.

Harlem. Hmm...

When is New York going to totally ban e-bikes

I love the attitude. There is always something to learn. If you go in to each work day, occasion, meeting, class, whatever you do with that frame of mind, you will always be learning. We tell our students always stay curious about the world around you and look for information and data to solve those problems.!

Those look like the same type of propane tanks that everyone here in Kenya (and other countries that mostly don't use electricity for cooking) Use for cooking. We have a portable 2 burner stove top hooked up to ours. Very common in countries other than the US, and some European countries. No one here uses electric stoves, in fact they are very hard to come by, because there is a monopoly by 1 power company that is way over priced. Many Kenyans don't even have propane based stovetops, but often use charcoal one burner stove tops outside to slow cook their beans, vegetables, ugali, and rice.

Great video btw. Bet that tenant is out some bucks for that bike.

Those people would not last a month down here in Bristol Public Housing. Here they have Army Regulation 140 barracks inspections and snoop inspections regularly by maintenance and the Orkin man when he does his monthly roach spraying. Fail one and you’re out. Propane is forbidden and all e-bikes must be kept outside. I’m waiting for the inspector to flip a coin on my rack. I think they stopped that. But we need to keep our billets spitshined.

Yep, there's usually an interesting story even if there are no big flames. Thanks John for going and seeing, and showing us. Stay safe!

Hi John, I always find it interesting when the hazmat team come to incidents like these. Very strange having these lpg canisters in appartments, what on earth they were up to

Nice video JJ --- Debbie & Tiffany

things to be scary 😱 off bomb making who knows.

Another great catch John! Not all fires are huge, Hard telling what started this fire. It didn't look like the tanks or the e-bike did but there are a lot of reasons to have propane tanks, Heating or cooking or off site bbq cooking. Those tanks are not cheap, to go out and buy one is 50 or 90 dollars each but to have trade in's , it's about thirty dollars each, Some people turn them into air tanks or sell them for scrap or for Illegal use and or to weld copper pipes. We will just have to wait for the Fire Marshals findings. It's all very interesting to me! Thanks again for sharing your art with us! ben

propane tanks valves during a fire 🔥 will remain open to vent off gas vapors till it runs out and releasing pressure to. If he tampered with them to where it wouldn’t vent then boom goes the 🧨 dynamite
