Now this video was one of the craziest I’ve filmed, it was the biggest fire I’ve seen in person, but it was a bit emotional for my family and I, because my father who unfortunately passed away in August 2020 went to that church every weekend and I was there to witness half of it collapse and burn the ground, even tho I caught some of my rarest captures near this place yesterday, it meant a lot to me and has a lot of history and memories to me and the community, it’s unfortunate it happened, but let’s keep it positive from now on and forwards, life will be difficult sometimes and that’s what makes it a life of value and worth living
I was wondering why, if Tower 1 wasn't anywhere near a collapse zone, they couldn't lower the buckeet closer to the point of operation instead of the overhead showers we see all too often?!!
So many Depts have done this now. Operations are as "risk free" as they can be. Trouble is it does not extinguish any fire. Look at the recent Miami fire as a perfect fail.
It may be for stream coverage at a distance, but also could be limitations of the truck. The Bronto skylifts don't do down low well. Could be a dozen reasons.
It is based on the Snorkel introduced in the late 1950's for the Chicago Fire Department. Snorkel, T-Rex, articulating platform, Cobra are the names used today to describe this type of apparatus. The original design (and most of the ones today) are based on a cherry picker, like power companies use. While I get the analogy, it is not based on that. There is a great video on that piece of apparatus that Toronto FD released, it is one of a kind (as far as the height) when it was introduced.
According to Fire Apparatus Magazine: "Also included is an integrated telescopic waterway with a 1,000-gallon-per-minute capacity, which can be remotely operated as well. The vehicle can also be supplied with one of the Toronto fireboats if needed."

Great shots of Tower 1 operating, nice catches!
Surreal coverage, wow. Such a tragic fire.
Wow….. they sure brought out all the toys on this one !
Such a great sadness because of the irreplaceable art loss😢.
Damm that tower 1 truck sure is sweet! I want one 🙏
Nice catch. When i was in Toronto i got to see tower 1 i guess returning to quarters and i have a picture of it at night. Again, great catch

Tower 1 is basically a decommissioned concrete pumper concept
It is based on the Snorkel introduced in the late 1950's for the Chicago Fire Department. Snorkel, T-Rex, articulating platform, Cobra are the names used today to describe this type of apparatus. The original design (and most of the ones today) are based on a cherry picker, like power companies use. While I get the analogy, it is not based on that.

Concrete pumpers are not commissioned, it's not a Naval Vessel
Respect aux pompiers pour leurs dévouement sauver les gens
I've always admired the Toronto fire department
That is some great looking fire equipment.👍
So Tower 1 just has a waterway and no pump? What’s the waterway’s rated gpm? As a former medic, I loved the bus!

Really sharp apparatus!
Yeah I almost cut myself when it drove by
Fantastic Fire Apparatus Wow
Y’all got some weird fire trucks
That tower 1 is a beast
Liked, subscribed and shared your video and your channel

Nice coverage. Wonder why some units like hazmat 323 have gay pride flag on the door

Re check the Date you have 9/6/24 and this is only 6/16/24
We use DD/MM/YY in Canada, so 9/6/24 is June 9th 2024. Not every country bends over for Uncle Sam in every possible way.

@@jamesblack449 It’s fine, don’t worry! I used sharper words than I should have, so I apologize for that!
@@RedRightHand652 That's OK I'm sorry if I offended you too.
