Awesome coverage of the physical rescue itself, as well as the aftermath and the press briefing! You got great footage. Huge respect to the members of Rescue 1, Ladder 25, Engine 74 and all the other companies and first responders working on that scene and many others.

[@SkylerFire]

Yup

[@bm7151]

Mildly disagree. They're good at operations, but imo they should train to have more handlines on a fire. Most of the examples I've seen there's only 1-2 handlines on some MASSIVE FIRES.
IMHO LAFD does fire supression better.

EXCELLENT job gentlemen ! You can question anyone of those Hero’s and they’ll all say the same thing , it’s a team operation . No 1 man can preform a rescue of this nature by themselves . And like he said , his confidence comes for his fellow FF’s and their training . One minute eating lunch the next minute hanging off the side of a building . Awesome job FDNY .

[@Michaelbos]

Great job as always. But surprise, they didn’t have a couple of tower or ladders up underneath them.

[@KD0LRG]

I would think that would put them in the path of the moving scaffolding if it should let go.

[@LongShlong36]

That would do nothing but put the ladders at risk. If someone or something falls there is no saving. Great work and perfect execution on this one

[@ludwiggretsch878]

They were on the 10th floor. Too high for any tower ladder. As for an aerial, even if the ladder could reach the floor, it would be only just very barely, and in reality, probably would not even reach. Even if you could put the ladder tip on the ledge, it would be too short to safely get the guy off the ledge and way too short to disconnect the guy from his tether.

It’s to high

An for those of u who think repelling is easy, think again. It takes years of training to learn an be somewhat proficient. Being a firefighter its mandatory that every brother have some basic high angle rescue training. But we do have a specific crew that specialize in it more than others. Once u get it, its addictive an a very expensive hobby as well lol. Remember folks complacency kills, always check your gear, i dont care how good u think u are. Check an recheck. Nobody will look out for u like u will.

[@riff2072]

Because that's what men do.

[@SkylerFire]

Yup

[@markmcculfor6113]

How many floors up can the ladder trucks reach? Did they not have room to extend that far? Good job though! Glad they were okay

[@SkylerFire]

7-8 stories is the max in most cases….. due to anything over 7 stories in NYC is considered a high rise so it is fire proof and has sprinklers for fires. In this case it wasn’t a fire but there is nothing to reach that high that any fire dept has in the states

[@markmcculfor6113]

@@SkylerFire that makes sense. I just googled it, looks like the tallest ladder truck in the US reaches about 13 floors, but that's very extreme. Thanks for your reply!

[@damianringler8288]

What was prohibiting them from setting up the ladder?

[@SkylerFire]

Because it would take to long to get there anyway! Do you know what NY traffic is? I guess not

[@ludwiggretsch878]

@@joe0813 Joe, I understand that FDNY recently looked at a Bronto skylift. I don't know if they made a decision on getting it. They have 100ft aerials obviously but you have to remember two things: first, using 10 ft. per floor for a rule of thumb for residential buildings is exactly that: a rule of thumb. It's possibly more in a high rise like that but even if not, in that type of building, the first floor is very often commercial and has higher ceilings than the upper floors. Even if the first floor is not commercial, it is often a lobby floor and again, has higher ceilings. I didn't google map it but that would tell the tale. Second, by the time you lose the width of the sidewalk, and the parked cars, and the spread of the jacks, you've lost several feet of ladder length by the time you drop it into the building.
