Man I don't know how these guys do it. If I was an engineer trying to get one of those rigs to a fire in that traffic I'd bust a blood vessel.
I don’t even know why they bother with lights and sirens. Nobody moves and they don’t get there any faster.
When the FDNY brings out the old school bus mobile command post you know the emergency is big and serious
I just get stressed out when they have to drive through this traffic all day long
Terrific video! Thanks for braving the rain to catch all of this!
Rain is nothing. Now blowing freezing rain is brutal and it destroys waterproof cameras
All of what??
We complain about driving in the city. Imagine driving or trying to drive a fire truck through that city then run into a fire or crazy situation takes special kind of person. Much appreciated
Love the history and traditions of the FDNY. They have more resources than some states.
I love that they called the dog out specifically, multiple times, and then it was replied they had a sick bay on the sidewalk, and they were bringing the dog down.
This traffic though, gives me massive anxiety just watching this video.
I know everyone is probably like “why is this guy recording us” but without you others wouldn’t be able to see witness this from this perspective also who knows other firefighters probably using this to see what they can improve on therefore making themselves and the community safer
Nahh, the FDNY (and the tad easterly Long Island volunteer firefighters) know, and usually enjoy having cameras capture their bravery.
Buff away safely camera, buff away.
Cameras have been around for the longest time at fire scenes. It’s not remotely new.
Just pathetic to see people doing what they do in front of fire trucks I'm trying to save lives especially in New York City after 9/11 you'd think these idiots would get the hell out of the way but no they just got to plug up the roads and make their life more miserable and harder to get to them rescue that you're trying to go after just think people could be your family that's in danger and you guys are just blocking the road assholes
You're at least correct about the firefighters part. I love watching these videos. :D
The FDNY guys seem exceptionally chill to have some CZcamsrs video them at fairly close range. I expect it's an earned respect thing...they stay out of the way, let the firefighters do their jobs, and in return the FDNY is okay with those who have proven that they can be trusted on those scenes. Wouldn't surprise me if some of these channels are run by ex-FDNY or relatives of FDNY because they treat the firefighters with tremendous respect on scenes.
YIKES! Never could I ever live in NY. What a HOT mess! Traffic in the humid rainy weather. Great (audio) edit when they asked for Rebreather Unit stuck in traffic.
Good heavens, I get stressed just seeing that they have to drive with those trucks in that traffic and nobody moves.
People usually move, but it’s un week so all the streets in that area are fully congested
there already were 2 cars on the damn sidewalk. Where should the rest go? Down the subway stairs?
am pass the ham
We had a transformer ‘issue’ in a basement here in Tasmania a few years back. It was jury-rigged back into service but kept causing power spikes. About 10 day later it caused the ancient wiring in one of our oldest department stores to burn it down. Was quite ‘impressive’ with flames higher than nearby buildings 12 stories higher. A guy who owned a Sony shop opposite made an excellent film with their latest and greatest camera.
I would love to see the film.
@@taelius2663 unfortunately it’s not on CZcams, but search Hobart Myer Fire for other films.
I work at a big power plant and our sister plant had a transformer fire, it melted the 6inch steel cables 150 feet above it. Our fire brigades are made of 4 members. It was put out quickly but it was only the 150 gallon spill over oil reservoir not the 20000 gallon main oil tank.
Seeing 500 gallons of diesel on fire is a scary thing, I couldn't imagine 20000 gallons of something more flammable.
@@JDs_RandomHandle ooohh. You wouldn’t want to be some unknowing schmuck trying to put that out with a hose!
Cvnni 0:11
More equipment equals more time damn I hope this wasn't a false alarm lol but these guys have everything
Great video! From a "retired guy".
Does anybody know whats inserted in the canister? The cover is opened and a lid removed. A packaged white substance is being inserted. Is it dry-ice to cool the loop air or the lyme scrubber material?
If its the latter why is it not ready to use or prepared before donning? Keep the valves closed in the mask and the scrubber can stay dor a while without deteriorating.
its ice for cooling.
At 24:15 you can kinda hear one of the firemen explaining it briefly
It’s just an ice slug made in a special mould that kept the inspired air temperature down in a rebreather like the BG4
It’s far better if it’s left in the plastic bag though,
Stupid traffic 🙈 i dont understand it, its everyone for themselves...no coorporation at all. I live in Holland and there is much more respect for these heros . Great video thanks for sharing
Maybe the city is getting back to normal after all. Looks like a healthy amount of traffic.
Did y’all see the fire man respond on the bicycle @4:24 😂😂😂😂😂
LOL it looks like one but it's not
Thanks for posting. Great video
See, this is why I would NEVER live in such a built-up city. There's just too much damn traffic in the way of the emergency services :(
your right
That job isn't hard enough without getting sopping wet.. and not a single one looks like they would complain
Boy!! People in NYC sure don't give 1st responders much room to get by.
Where do you suggest they go😂
awesome video brother
Brave boys! Bravo!
Good catch
you in town?
That one building looked like an old fire house.
Which camera are you using? Looks great! :)
Can someone please explain to me the difference between the regular scba yanks and mask vs the rebreather?
SCBA is just pure oxygen in a tank whereas a rebreather is cleansing the air so it should last the life of the filter which is useually about 4 hours in there work enviroment compared to the half an hour with a scba
what I dont understand is why NYPD is not there to help clear the intersection for the incoming fire crews that are responding.
They do it all the time.
I've been to NYC many times and I've seen it often.
It's a very large city.
You can see one traffic officer doing it at the beginning of the video.
Lol you're clearly not from NY. They are clearing the intersection but this is midtown theres tons of cars
@@RichieD_21 you are right I'm not from New York. I'm from Oklahoma, I thank you for the insight.
@@monteconnally7706 tell the tumble weeds i says hello
I'll tell the dust don't see many tumble weeds.
Grea video! Just crazy, my part of the country..West Coast, have respect for the brave firefighters! Us, pediatricians, will not walk in between and mingle in the middle of the firefighters doing their job!! Walking in the middle of the st..where they are trying to work, maybe saving someone’s life! AND cars competing with the fire trucks for who goes first!?!?!!!!! 😮
Rebreather 2 in Manhattan? Where is 1?
At that time, out of service
Awesome video.
Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you!
Nice, liked and shared 🧑🏻👍🏻🔥🚒
woah a hybrid Tahoe police car what a find
I wonder why they had to change clothes, especially when there is fire involved? Is it just a rescue squad on standby?
i would think its part of the new way of thinking about cancer, transformer oil burning would be puting off a lot of toxic smoke so you need to get that stuff away from your skin asap.
Brothers always.. FDNY 'Best in the World'.
Awesome video. I did not know if the rebreather operations manager was a captain, BC, or DC filled position?
what does HT stand for on the SCBA tanks?
haz-tac
The M103 bus up 3rd Avenue. This must've been during rush hour. Used to catch it down near e55th and 3rd. Usually not that busy during the day.
Get the hell out of their way !!! I couldn’t handle driving my rescue in Manhattan ! 👨🏻🚒
You sound crabby.
I realize I'm a day late, a dollar short, and two steps behind. But why in the HECK are cops not closing the streets!?!? Geezzz.... Those four wheelers couldn't care less about getting out of the fecking way!! If it were their house, or family member I guarantee they would move!
You know, I never thought about it but rebreathers are perfect for firefighters
The devices are perfect for long attack routes but technically complex and expensive. In addition, it is very exhausting to breathe for a long time, as they have no overpressure.
We are using them in the Elbtunnel/Hamburg.
@@dt7758 the Dräger BG4 (as seen here) has overpressure
@@dt7758 these are also heavier and require ice.
Can someone explain why they needed rebreathers? Was this a WMD or chemical alarm?
Awesome!
They look like Ghostbusters with the backpacks on!
Great video
Question: Why are they using rebreathers? I have seen a few vids now of FDNY using them. Are they changing from SCBA to rebreathers? Or are there certain situations RB is preferred over SCBA?
They are used for certain below grade jobs in IDLH atmo that have little or no egress points. It reduces the need to swap crews due to low air on extended ops and gives FFs in these spaces and city catacombs a better chance to escape or self rescue.
Some hazmat teams use rebreathers. They just last longer than bottles and you aren’t tethered like with SABA.
Excellent video!! I love the play-by- play summary you put in the description! I have to ask... what the hell does it take for the NYPD to shut down a street and the sidewalks to keep people out of the way so the FDNY can work? When an incident of this magnitude happens in Phoenix you can't get within a half-mile of it.
I 2nd this question.
Ah, buut they’s Special People! Nyeu Yaurkars! “How dare someone in a fire truck or ambulance, with screaming sirens and flashing lights violate my rights to park in ‘traffic’.”
@@andrewallason4530 Maybe they should just lock down all of Manhattan and leave it only accessible to emergency vehicles since between fdny and nypd a 911 call comes in like every 30 seconds.
That's why that's Pheonix and this is New York. We don't shut down the city every time some one farts. Do you really understand what it takes to shut down 1/2 mile in NYC and divert thousands of cars, trucks, and buses off their route, and divert literally millions of people? Should we close all the subway stations in the area as well?
@@johnbauer9628 You can't shut down a block for the safety of the public and emergency crews to work a critical incident, but you readily shut down a block for a TV show to film or have a shit-head hip-hop "artist" set up a stage and perform live. I guess that's just the twisted New York mentality of what's really important.
God Bless My Brother And Sister Firefighter And Medic’s And God Bless NYFD! ❤
Can anyone explain why they had to go ReBreather instead of SCBA? Was the run to the incident location that far away from the surface?
5:21 what siren is that? I wanna really know cause I keep hearing it!
🤣Ya..
Can anyone tell me why for every mission there are dozens of men, even without any apparent need for them? I often see them standing around waiting for seemingly nothing. This is not a criticism, rather I would like to be one of them for the work they do. Love these videos
Tower Ladder 1, engine 7, batt Chief 1
Nobody gets on the microphone in NYC?
Great video but what was happening that they needed rebreathers?
Una pregunta para que es ese equipo el que ponen en la mesa
Awesome video thanks brother is it rain there
What is the purpose of a rebreather for a firefighter? I understand why the military uses a closed circuit. No gasses to expel (no bubbles) means no hand grenades get thrown into the water when those bubbles reach the surface and are visible to the enemy. Photographers also have a legitimate claim on the technology because bubbles aren’t desirable in a lot of underwater photography (the bubbles might scare fish and obscure the subject of photograph. But why firefighters?
I saw 1 person figure out he could move over to the sidewalk/bike lane to let them get by.🧐🤨
Nobody pays attention to the fire apparatus.
Serious question, whats the reason to use a 'Rebreather' rather then the usual o2 tank and mask?
Mainly weight and time reduction. No need to change bottles for longer periods of time. Also we don't use O2 in the fire service, only normal compressed air.
@@levi-lukesmith3504 thanks for the info
Rebreathers last around 4 hours. Regular tanks 30-45 mins max.
Wonder how many of those Draegers they have. They’re a ton of money
In my country we leave when the firefighters come
Are they putting dry ice in the packs?
2 questionms what are the black back packs 2 why does the law not shut traffic down so EMS fire can get through
I have all the respect in the world the New York fire department. And I do not even live in the US but I know what them poor guys have gone through over the last 10 years with 9/11 and all what are people going to grow a brain and get the hell out of their way. I've been to New York City a couple of times and I've never seen more ignorant drivers on the road in my life anywhere in the US and Canada I thought Toronto was bad well guess what you people in New York City got to learn how to drive and out of respect her Emergency Services they're out there to save your freaking lives think about that
5:40 If you want to avoid a nervous breakdown😄
Why are rebreathers used, why arnt the fire-fighters wearing PPE Ive not seen them before...can someone enlighten me
Yup. In my country (Australia) you don’t go on the scene without full PPE. Ever. I often watch videos of these Seppos wandering around their fire grounds like Brown’s cows. No wonder so many of them get sick and injured.
I was a vol FF in PA for 8 years, never heard of a “rebreather ops” What is it?
I use Draeger rebreathers for tunnel rescue and have been a tunnel rescue specialist for about 14 years now.
Rebreathers are a special breathing system where you exhaled air is scrubbed using soda Lyme. There is a small oxygen cylinder inside the pack as well (not an air bottle) and cooling ice to keep your breathing air from getting hot and burning you. Every so many breaths the system squirts oxygen into the system so your body receives the appropriate level of oxygen. On average with moderate work exertion you get 1 hour and 20 minutes to one hour fourth five minutes of breathing time before you need to be out of the danger area. Hope this helps you understand.
@@windycurrent it sure does. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer that.
I don't think New York has enough bike lanes we need more bike lanes And some more cement islands.
WOW! Just too many people and too many cars in one place. I'd rather live in a small town like Walnut Grove with Michael Landon as my neighbour. LOL
They are only used in high rise situations where an active fire is in process. Saves on the time and energy of carrying up and down bottles on the stairs.
No, setting up rebreathers does not save time. They have to load blocks of ice in the packs to cool the exhaled breath. They are used for special situations like this where the firefighters are going to be an IDLH atmosphere for long periods and won’t have the opportunity to swap bottles. For high rise ops, they use their regular SCBAs.
Is the lone island volunteer firefighters the ones w the tan/yellow turnout’s?
There EMS. What is lone Island?
When you do these videos, are you doing it for the New York Fire Department or are you doing this on your own?
on there owen I am a retired fire buff.

EMS “rescue medic” with air packs? something i have never seen before but completely understand the use and need even if some in FDNY are offended by their existence or being remotely associated with FDNY
They are not offended by their existence.
@@justinsmith4562 there are a lot of firefighters who ate offended by EMS being under FDNY, it’s something i have seen countless times…i guess it’s slowly dying out but there were many, many who hated EMS
@@bostonrailfan2427 As a paramedic I never understood this. Mind you I don't live or work in NY. I get along well with our firefighters but still some hate coming to medical calls. Like isn't the profession to save lives? Who keeps that person alive after fire pulls them out? The medics, nurses, and doctors. And who is screaming on the radio for EMS to expedite when a patient is crashing? Fire and police. That is why its a team effort. There are more important thing than putting wet stuff on hot stuff. Some firefighters hate medics until something happens to them and they need those medics.
@@bostonrailfan2427 Not the rescue medics. They love them.

Hi from UK what are rebreather boxes
Exactly what it sounds like. Just like cave divers -- can stay on mask for a LONG time.
Rebreather masks reuse the carbon dioxide from exhaled air which then recycles it giving fire fighters extended oxygen supply than a standard breathing apparatus. Rebreather masks are used in toxic environments, tunnels and confined spaces where you need longer oxygen supply.
CO2 scrubbers that allow extended operation. I believe up to 1 hour.
just as they sound: air supplies that allow you to rebreathe the expelled air and scrubs the CO2 from it allowing for extended use in locations. they’re rarely used by UK brigades but are held and ready for incidents especially in cave/coal mining areas and hazmat areas plus ports
Drager BG4, 4 hour closed circuit sets where you rebreathe your own air with a tiny bit of oxygen added, and CO2 taken out
In the U.K. these are £10,400 each
Why such a heavy EMS presence?
and nobody mentions that firefighter on a bike at 20:01? lol
they brought the whole city
Is it just me or is the bicycle guy at 4:23 a firefighter?
Just a delivery guy with a high-vis rain coat
@@FDNYResponseVideos yeah, you're right. :)
Daym those slow moving vision slrs tho
7:25 someone’s in the Halloween spirt
Do you know where the truck graveyards are in NYC?
Yes.
@@potatolew4495 where
took 2 HOURS to get OFF the island the other day. 2 FUCKING HOURS. I don't know how people live like that.
So i look up what a rebreather is. Basically it is a carbon dioxide to oxygen converter
Well, no. It uses a carbon dioxide absorbing material to ‘scrub’ the CO2, leaving the oxygen depleted air ( you exhale about 16% oxygen). The oxygen tank then makes that back up to 21% to match air.
Regular Breathing Apparatus just store air.
I guess you have their full trust, letting you cross the tape line.
were fire buff's all my f.d. friends have given us rulles as to what I can do.
That’s the issue they are so ignorant and self absorbed they don’t even let the FD thru. No wonder no one can stand anyone from New York
NYC just has way to many cars.
are 10-45 code 4s fatalities?
no code 4 is very minor injuries
RMAs prob
7 dead? All in and around the transformer?
Nobody died
10-45
CODE 1 - Deceased
CODE 2 - Life threatening injury
CODE 3 - Non-life threatening injury
CODE 4 - Non-Serious / Ambulatory
Notice this crystals ( sodium I think ) going into the rebreather unit , I’m guessing this help the filtration of the co2 to become breathable 02 again. Ensures longer ability and time tk
Stay in the hot zone .
I believe it's just ice. @ 24:23 he talks about it getting hot and the ice keeps the air cool...
@@adw311 you are cool, it's just ice
Also pure sodium is extremely volatile on its own, just fyi.
The crystals are called "soda lime" and that's what removes CO² from the circuit, fresh O² is then added from the bottle seen at the bottom.
That's not to be confused with the ice packs (seen at 18:20) used to cool the air that's heated by the chemical reaction with soda lime.
Real good video of what you could get. Shame you couldn’t get them all masked up. That would be cool.
Hahaha the FDNY doesn't wear masks
@@jennypurlock2280 the mask I’m referring to is attached to their air bottles.
@@johndavis6119 FF will find away to modify them I am not sure why FF don't wear scba on fire scene then cry when they get cancer
@@jennypurlock2280 the scba is based on scuba and they have a far lower risk of cancer breathing through them then the old way, nothing at all. Hooding someone gets cancer is not nice, no matter what conspiracies you believe. Especially people whose sole job is to save your life.
Context on the incident would sure be nice
Greg, check the description. Has everything you need to know.
Geez everytime I see FDNY NYPD, Ladder # signs on the ladder, new york firetruck, firefighter or police man, I get reminded of 9/11 all the time. Anybody else get that? Can watch LIVE PD or cops all day long and interrogations and stuff and not think of it once.

Its called a rebreather. It scrubs CO2 from your breath and reintroduces oxygen before returning it to the user to breath. They were first created for military diving. Its a closed circuit. No bubbles...
