For instance Firefighters are called Members for some reason the look like Firefighters to me and the taxpayer thing doesn't make sense to me a structure fire is a fire in a building plain and simpler. I hope this made sense cause there department incident command is some what different then department in other areas. Here in MI they are pretty standardized across they board. Take care

[@BLAPDORTH]

a taxpayer refers to a small one or two story building built to cover the owner's annual property tax assessed for owning a parcel of land.

[@DWBmotorsports]

@@BLAPDORTH I knew it had something to with actual taxes. But the term to my knowledge is really only used in nyc 👍🏻 thanks for the clarification

Looks like once they finally got access to the fire and got water on it, they made a pretty good knockdown. Any time you have a row of taxpayers with heavy fire in the cockloft and you hold it to one or two occupancies, it’s a good stop.

[@richfabian6534]

Being a Retired Firefighter I don't understand something, the best vantage point you could have is from one of your truck companies, not putting a bunch of firefighters on the roof that has flames shooting out of it while the guys underneath are fighting the fire. Why weren't the water cannons on the towers spraying water?

[@DByers-ci5kr]

Using aerial monitors while there are crews working below would be extremely dangerous. The weight of the water might bring the roof/ceiling/facade down on them or the force of master streams might cause debris to fly into the firefighters. The two TLs (46 & 51) had supply lines stretched to engines in the event operations were changed to exterior attack. "Surround & Drown" is really a last resort when interior attack isn't deemed safe & all rescue operations have ceased. This was an outstanding video. Thanks RV for getting some overview from atop the building across the street as well as observing the separate VES efforts on the street level.

[@ryanstripeik7482]

Well considering the biggest cause of LODDs has been COVID deaths he’s right

[@gregadomeit4020]

In my opinion the should have got the master steams working right away. That probably would have slowed or even stop the spread of the fire. The common problem is the inter- connected cockloft, it like balloon construction only horizontal. Never heard of a cockloft nozzle but NYFD has them.

[@jimmccabe801]

You gunna tell FDNY how to fight fire. Thats funny.

[@gregadomeit4020]

@@jimmccabe801 when did I even hint about telling them how to fight the fire. Most fires that the respond to when the fire is through the roof they especially on single story structures they get the Firefighters out and use master streams to knock it down then going back in to hit the hot spots. Seriously don't you think a few minutes from the elevated master streams would have helped first?? Honest question. Their was alot of Firefighters in that structure and if that roof would have came down it would have been a terrible. This was my opinion after watching the video and I was not telling them how to do their job.

[@tjlovesrachel]

No need for an exterior attack

[@marshamoore8385]

Why would you use that term "taxpayer"? Of course they pay taxes! But what about places where the people can no longer work. They can't pay anything! So you would then say "non-taxpayers" implying it was a waste of resourses? I am a subscriber and enjoy your videos. But I have to say, that was kind of a rude description.

[@johndaly9843]

Taxpayer is a somewhat old term used to describe a quick and cheap one story property usually a store built on a lot to cover the property taxes until another property is built there. Hence the term taxpayer.

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

As John said, taxpayer describes the building type and construction. Check out “taxpayer building” on google. Plenty of info there.
