- Without further ado here is the insane 5-alarm fire yall have been waiting for. Upon my arrival, I wasn't too impressed. I saw heavy smoke and assumed I either missed the flames or the flames were on the other side. I'm glad I brought my tripod and so I could keep my hands in my pockets for the most part. The flames started to escalate. Firefighters were ordered off the roof to conduct an exterior attack. They scrambled down the ladders. I was worried the roof might collapse. Not another Sunnyside fire for the sake of the members. The flames escalated into something I rarely get to be so close to. It was almost unbelievable. Then I ran out of SD card space on my camcorder and switched to iPhone X. Still, not a bad video. Remind me to have a phone mount on my camcorder and extra SD cards for situations such as this. Either way, I managed to get a significant amount of flames and was the first press video journalist on the scene. Shoutout to photogs Vic, Seth, & Lloyd also on scene dealing with extreme temperatures. Thanks for the call, Lloyd! Special thanks to Spectrum News NY1 for making this worthwhile by airing this dramatic footage.

Not to many things that scare me but seeing a couple firefighters on a roof as the fire ihas vented itself and looks like the sun is rising out of it, that just gives me chills.
Thanks Adam and others for your awesome videos !
the cold an the ice an the gear they have to carry we salute u
Great film and appreciate it with this weather even more...salute
This structure definitely had a fire load! Only solution is surround and drown! Allen P Retired Firefighter (Capt)! Great job NYFD!
I have seen this fire several times and each time I find it captivating watching FDNY in a literal fire fight during brutal freezing windy wet (icing) conditions!
17 minutes in I noticed the misters at the end of the ladder to help keep them a bit cooler !
Great video. And compliments on the watermark; it's there, but less 'in your face'. Be safe.
God bless the men and women who put their lives on the line for us 24/7
Something you don't see very often. A chief at the top of an aerial ladder.
Fire Fighters and EMS and Police should be making more money than pansy ball players.
What ball players do is actually fairly difficult compared to actors. Those are the real pansys who dont deserve what they get in pay. But I do agree that the pay of ball players is way overboard too.
It's difficult to hit "like" for a 5 alarm fire.
Don't know what was burning in the building what ever it was it stood up against multiple tower ladders especially the size of the building also good video of the fire
I've fought a couple of sub-freezing fires such as this. Standing by the exhaust on the engine just to get some warmth.
Very many thanks Terry for that info. It is unlikely that I will able to stop by as I live in Scotland , UK!! Cheers
Legend has it that you can toast marshmallows if you hold them close enough to the screen at 21:15.
Firefighters, please when command orders evacuation of building and roof, please do it that instant. I know you want to do the best job you can but there is nothing in a building worth you being injured or killed. The building and content can be replaced and you can't. Sure the fire department can get another firefighter but your loved ones, friends, and family can not replace you. Keep safe and out of harms way.
You can tell just how old some of these spares are. Did anyone else notice the one tower ladder with the pipe spewing water out of its connections going up?
How can you "like" a 5 alarm fire?
Whole footage taken from behind a fire truck
A question. I see a lot of firefighters standing around, my question is you have men working the fire, and I assume some waiting to relieve them. how or what decides how many are on the scene? I assume that weather conditions play into manpower numbers as well.
they don't call it fire science for no reason
@@LoudlabsNYC That is true and I know nothing about it, so I ask questions that might sound dumb to some, but if you don't know it is not a dumb question.
@@johndoe-zk1yu By stating you know nothing about it is a good start to learn. I will caution you that CZcams is filled with armchair chiefs and know it all wannabees. If you want to learn just be careful who you listen to. Fire fighting involves a number of skills from structural engineering to stationary engineering (Engineering science involving pressure.) From Physics to Chemistry there are chemicals that react violently with water. firefighting attack involves a coordinated fire attack and the firefighters actions are assigned and governed by one person. The Incident commander is that person and his decisions are governed by the information passed along to him. This is why it is critical that the flow of information be clear, concise, and accurate. A good example of an armchair chief is Flaming Stag with his bash and dash. FDNY is one of the best.
this got be some of the worst tactics ive ever seen !
notice that on these videos-most ff in the tower ladder buckets seldom wear their air masks..
I heard on the grapevine that they're waiting for you to hand in your CV
hi dale thanks for your response I,m a ff in oz we don't have 50% of your gear but we manage to get our job done ! we use these clips in our obs of training & we don't do insurance deals
Here are some pretty bad tactics as well. czcams.com/video/T7M15StdBGs/video.html Just cause your from oz doesn't mean you are entitled to make judgments about the tactics used on a fire ground half way around the world from you. There are so many issues that CZcams videos do not and can not convey from the C.P.O.V. or through the monologue or in the titular description. So as a firefighter I am pretty sure you know where I am coming from. There are enough Monday morning quarterbacks saying oh they should have done it this way and oh I could have had that fire out in seconds creating a serious problem on social media. The last thing anyone needs is to have one of the firefighter brethren adding to the problem.
I used to live in Bed-Stuy decades ago. Never again.
Why?
