- City of Troy: One Person Rescued and One Firefighter Injured At A Early Morning Third Alarm Fire
Just after 5:30 AM the city of Troy’s Fire Department was dispatched for a reported structure fire at 494 2nd Avenue . On arrival, firefighters had smoke showing from the structure and transmitted the signal thirty for a working structure fire. Firefighters made their way to the second floor where they found a individual that was still in the building and got them out to their vehicle. Firefighters were attempting to make an aggressive push to knock down the fire, but the fire took off on them.
Heavy fire began to blow through the roof of the structure where firefighters were venting the trapped super heated gases and quickly began to spread, and the truck company made their way back to the bucket. Fire quickly began to spread to the attached structure next door and command transmitter the second alarm bringing additional resources to the city of Troy. Firefighters on scene faced extremely cold conditions with temperatures hovering around -30 with the windchill factor. Hand lines began to rapidly freeze, and their air bottles were beginning to freeze to their air packs where they could not get them off to change the air bottles.
Conditions continue to rapidly change as firefighters could not keep up with a heavy fire load. Firefighters on scene attempted to make an aggressive interior attack on the adjacent fire building, but were pushed out of the building as the roof started to collapse. Firefighters went to a defensive operation for an extended period of time before making their way back inside. Command deemed the structure unsafe and had all firefighters. Continue extensive defense of operations for the rest of the morning. One firefighter was transported to Samaritan hospital with injuries, that firefighter is expected to be OK.

1. -37 degrees with the wind.
2. 24 firefighters per shift.
3. One fire fighter went down on the ice and broke his leg and three firefighters were immediately taken out of service to transport that fire fighter to the hospital leaving 21 firefighters on scene.
4. Hydrant problems and a water main break nearby.
5. Every air bottle that they were using froze up and they could not get them out of the quick releases to put another bottle in.
6. Heavy fire was traveling through the cockloft as firefighters were attempting to make their way through a chopped up building.
7. Four firefighters were removing a victim from the front of the building.
8. This city operates with very low staffing and the city council and mayor refuse to give them staffing.
9. The nearest mutual aid is over minutes away, but were handling a call in their city at the same time as this.
10. The radios kept freezing up and they could not make transmissions.
11. Fire blew through the roof of the building as soon as the vent crew cut the hole.
12. The neighboring building was a do not enter building as it did not have a safe floor in it.
13. Roof collapse happened within 18 minutes of arrival.
14. All of the hand lines on scene began to freeze up Solid, and they could not get water to certain parts of the scene.
15. Later, found out the pump operator that fell was the pump operator of truck one.
16. The city of Troy, New York, operates with a two-man truck company as they are all cross staffed. When one goes down the domino effect starts.
Eventually the fire burned itself out as it ran out of fuel 😂
Horrible conditions for you all, but a fascinating to watch. Your my hero's stay safe all my love sent from the UK
this is some seriously hard work!
As a long time follower of you on Facebook, I'm really happy to find you here also!
Wow that looks like some miserable god-aweful conditions to fight fire! Makes me glad to be a firefighter in the mid-southern part of the country! We just had a round of winter weather for a 36 hour period in the 10s to 20s and even that was miserable outdoors for any length of time. I can't imagine how it would be with hoselines and pumps instantly freezing if shut down for any time at all! TFD rocked on this fire! Be safe!
Good thing they sent the men then
Stay strong brothers and sisters!
Sisters, really. Cmon you little woke man, they are useless on the job you have to know that gregy
@@gailmike2001 you are a sad little man
Looks like a miserable night to be fighting fire. Hope everyone got home safe, and all occupants got taken to somewhere warm.
Nothing about firefighting from that comment.
@@JB91710 What kind of statement is that? I have seen you post some pretty ridiculous comments on several posted videos. So, what your deal and experience?
@@JB91710 JB sometimes I just like to comment on the human suffering that the fire is causing. Life lesson for you If you can't say something nice then is is most often better to say nothing at all. Meehook Aunnuk
Troy, WHERE?hio, New York, New Jersey.... PLEASE put the state on these.
New York
There's a lot of old row homes like this in Troy, NY... Some that even predate the Civil War, and when fire gets a foothold in one structure, this can often happen... The bitter cold makes things even worse...
I will not criticise this job due the fact that it has been heavily edited. I do know that I would not want to be called out to a job like this in these conditions, we don't get weather like this here in London (UK). However from what I can see they tried there best to knock down the fire with an interior attack. Unless we were there we do not know what the layout of the building and how much furniture and other obstructions was inside. So from me respect to you guys because it wouldn't have easy having to get very cold and wet to knock down this fire.
Appears to have highly flammable siding.
No kidding !! American builders love CHEAP siding.
Great job of putting water on the red stuff RIGHTNO WAY
What was going off at 1:34?
I feel for the frozen firefighters and if that stack of boxes froze, how did they get it back to the firehouse?
The close proximity of the buildings and the horrid working conditions were ideal for a catastrophic fire…nice stop!
Finally some water
One question? Anyone there hear of the words mutual aide? Like lots of it?
I hate seeing multi story houses burn because that water goes down to the first floor from the second and water damage will be everywhere and there's so many folks that can't afford property insurance.
Terrible job on the fire attack. They just let the house go.
They had complications.
I'm watching from Australia, I know that every man and his dog have guns in America. During that footage were those bullets going off during the start of the firefight? Btw over here we don't go and cut holes in the roof as our houses are not wood based, mostly brick with zincaloom roof or tiles made of terracotta or similar materials. If a fire gets a foothold often it will self ventilate. I really feel for the firefighters having to put up with those disgusting conditions
I was trying to figure out what you were talking about bullets in the beginning of the footage, and I think I finally found out what it was. That was actually a firefighter(s) inside the house with a water line shooting water from the inside going out. That's how the blast and debris flying all over the place occurred.
Zincalume is a cheap inferior version of colourbond. It fades very quickly.
Very slow getting water on the fire
I see hoses...just no water???
Balloon frame construction
What state is Troy located
NY
Why do they stand around so close to the building? There was no saving the building. With everyone out go defensive.
Guess what? There is more than one "city of Troy" in the U.S. But, if I had to guess I'd say it's on the East coast from the amount of water being applied.
His other vids are from Troy, New York.
this one is Troy NY
Very sad pretty houses
Why did the FD wait so long? Two aerials with water could have contained it in the roof/attic area.
One of their pump operators fell and broke his leg. The city operates only with a two-man truck company. One man in the bucket, one man to operate the pump.
I am trying to understand why houses are constructed this way in the USA. These wood frames burn like torches.
Construction methods vary depending on the expense the builder is allowed to spend by the owner. Lightweight construction is also a way of lessening costs.
@@davidlenzi3551 Of course. You are stating the obvious. But that doesn't explain why Americans accept such housing.
@@tjerkheringa937 First I am Canadian. Second those who build their homes make their own choices which of course is a freedom all which is enjoyed in America and many other democratic countries including Canada.
They let it burn down why
Multiple time stamps where there are 6+ firefighters standing there and ZERO water is being put on the fire. If it isnt or can’t be offensive, then put water on the fire from the street. So much excess fire burned through the upper exterior level that could have been lessened by a single hoseline directed towards the soffit area. Not to be an armchair expert, but water makes fire go away.
It was negative 34 degrees below zero and they were having problems with the water freezing
Not to be an armchair expert but thats exactly what you're being. U weren't there. U have no clue of the conditions. Check your ego and zip it.
what state? More than one city of Troy in this country Thanks in advance
ny
Hell yeah, fuck youtube 🖕🏼
This was absolutely a awful job of firefighting ,i just amaze me of some of the idiotic things I see , crazy
Maybe you should go show them how it's done. Maybe they had water issues do to freezing subzero temperatures. Maybe the hydrants where frozen. You probably wouldn't Last 5 minutes.
@@Brian13549 I can show them how to do it , and there was no water issue at all , they where just bad

Fireplaying in the good old USA! They vented the crap out of the roof to feed fresh air to the suffocating gasses and let the whole thing ignite. Instead of extinguishing the mess they made from the exterior, they go inside to do it with a terrible Angle of Attack. No wonder someone got hurt. But hey, you get to call them a hero. Any other country on this planet would have just vented the fire room windows, gone inside, found what was burning and put water on it. If it's in the cockloft, open the ceiling and fog the space.
JB91710 Again you show your level of incompetence. There is nothing to show what caused the firefighters injuries were related to the fire conditions at the scene the injuries may very well be related to the cold temps and nothing to do with the structure fire at all. Further there would be difficulties with water flow creating dangerous ice conditions as water freezes on the ground and paved surfaces at the fire scene. Add to these issues the wind speed making this a wind driven fire during very cold temperatures. Very difficult to fight fire in these conditions. You really need to reassess you comments taking in the bigger picture like you are so fond of saying and recognize you are simply being a troll.
And worn masks inside. These houses have asbestos, lead and God knows what else...
@@davidlenzi3551 Blah, blah, blah. Again and as always, you make nothing but excuses and can't focus on tactics. If you fight fires in a dangerous manor, there's a good chance someone will get hurt. Do you get my point or can you only communicate by making detached and vague comments? Guessing work for you?
Your lack of experience and knowledge are astounding! In actuality, they did what you suggest after they were forced outside for the exterior attack. But, again, your lack of knowledge is pretty vast. If you knew what you were talking about, I’d engage but, since you obviously don’t even grasp the basics of fighting a fire in a wood frame structure, what’s the point. And why do you feel the need to malign the “hero’s” who are American firefighters? Envy??? 😢 You make me sad. Oh and PS, what was burning was the cockloft. Venting the windows and attacking from the outside does nothing until the fire has burned the top of the structure off. Learn it Moe!
Ok if you know so much why don’t you join the department and show them how to do it otherwise keep your stupid comments to yourself.
Really pathetic, no water until it really gets rolling? Were they cooking weiners or what?
They had frozen hydrants, couldn't establish a water supply.
