Black Sunday - FDNY Rescue 3 Firefighter Jeff Cool

[@MikeSwinehart]

What a wonderful video by you Mr Cool. I was a fireman for thirty three years. I think there are some brothers who think it will never happen to them. I do not care if you’re a volunteer fireman with ten calls a year, it can still happen to you. Take care brother and God bless us all

As a new starting fire fighter, this was assigned to me to learn about, and these events are eye opening and put a fire under me to practice and train harder.

14:08 the entire tragedy is heart wrenching…the last few minutes yank at the soul. Bless all involved in public service minus government bureaucracy & politicians.

We use bailout gear due to your story. We train on it often and even last night we trained bailing out a second floor window. Also we train at the Joey D flash over box at the Suffolk Fire Academy. The trainers always tell us the story and gives us a sense of urgency to get better at bailout. Thank you for helping to keep us safe, we owe you a ton Mr Cool.

Thank you sir for sharing your story. And absolutely if we are lucky enough to get to work with our heroes it's definitely something that you will always know and respect. Man what a great message.

Thank you for keeping Joe D's story alive. And not just his dtory, the entire story. They say you only die when your name is spoken for the last time. Im glad you did this. Thanks

Joey D was to be my probie instructor at Suffolk County Fire Academy. We had two classes with him and then he went to work that faithful day. I remember telling the senior guys at my vollie dept he was going to be my instructor. It was then that I learned just how amazing an oppurtunity I was going to get. I remember those first two classes he tought, he was so full of excitement and pride for the job.

Nice job Jeff, as we spoke weeks ago its amazing how many Departments out there do not have bail out systems!

[@aportman58]

Thank you for speaking the truth about how important it is to have the greatest chance to survive a life-threatening situation! I bought my own self-bailing rescue harness and rope repelling system!! Thank you for your sacrifice!!!

[@TimLeidig-es9ur]

Thank you Jeff. Long live Joey D!

[@ofcv1238]

Amazing story and well spoken…kudos to such a skill in communicating meaningful detail in a amazingly articulate manner…like a human in 100% awareness

[@aportman58]

I purchased my own self-bailing rescue egress system which cost me around $500 but it is my life!!!

I went to the Funeral Homes and was standing in the long line for Curtis Meyran and a Firefighter recognized me and took me by my arm.." I know who you are Sir"..He than took me inside and to the Casket.. I said a Prayer..and was introduced to Family..I was so very Sad..I told the Family that I didn't know Curtis but I would never forget Him and I haven't and I won't.. My Son John his name is Memorialized in Granite and Stone, but the most poignant Memorial is in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.. Joey D is in your heart and through you in mine....When I mourn for my Son I mourn also for those who have Fallen before him and after..I write what I write to tell a Story of Heroes.. Not only because of how they died but Heroes because of how they lived..Thank you Jeff for your Story..you make Angels smile..

[@NationalFireRadio]

So glad I found this channel. I'm hoping to be a firefighter soon, so having all of this knowledge in this video and the rest, it is invaluable and an awesome learning tool.

Stellar job by host as well as interviewee …sorry can’t think of name of hero story teller

[@MattJM96]

I went through the Ems academy with his son.

[@richardmeo2503]

Worked wit Joe senior. I was in L-3 and he was Capt E-33. Solid guy. Von dumbass and his replacement should have faced charges over that cheap moronic policy and in not replacing the system we relied upon. I too went out and bought my own. Remember they also took out harnesses that had expired, never bought new ones, and the Engine guys had to give them up to supply the trucks.

[@JB91710]

At any time during a extinguishment or search, if you get to the point where you can't protect yourself and you obviously can't protect the victims, you back out until you have re-established your ability for protection. Common sense and logic dictates that. Those are the tools you use to make decisions, not your emotions.

Emmanuel freed his red book fire fighting in New York City. Do you think you’ve got a fire behind the wall don’t open it do you have a line I did it once in DC once went into a second alarm immediately

[@Steve-cu1ye]

I find that alot of FF on this day were to blame why people are in fires without scba on I've been in fires with smoke eaters and it goes south quick

[@JB91710]

Bailout gear should not be the reaction to firefighting mistakes like this. You don't create Bandaids for Bad training, you fix the training. You never proceed beyond your ability to protect yourself and others. They did and this happened.
