| FDNY 10-75 All-Hands Box 895 | Fire in First Floor Restaurant, Extension to Duct-Work

[@deborahcooper8063]

I was admiring the shiny fire trucks and how they look so new when Sept 11th flashed through my mind and broke my heart all over again. May God keep yall safe always! Sending love & prayers from Pensacola, FL. 💕🙏💕🙏

@Frances Hi Francis! I'm originally from N.E. Ohio but moved to Pensacola in 2003. I hate the cold & snow from the north but love the heat of the south. And the Blue Angels... Tremendous?!!

[@99carnot]

Liked - very good footage as usual, especially the ladder trucks. When I first got interested in the fire service, there were Gamewell fire alarm telegraph boxes, and not many two-way radios. Things have changed:)

Excellent video from a member of the uk fire service

[@tonyjackson6188]

excellent video and photage , very well done. Tony j. Indianapolis.

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

+Tony Jackson thank you very much tony! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@DByers-ci5kr]

Not sure what the narrator is talking about at the beginning. Very little smoke. Looks more like steam from using a hand line which you can see going into the building. From the number & types of apparatus, I'd say it's an 'All-Hands' which is FDNY for a full 1st alarm. 10-75 is code for a working fire. Every alarm level gets 4 engines & 2 ladders. Plus once you call working fire, you get a squad, rescue, FAST, RAC & a major incident command team. 10-60 (major emergency response) gets 12 line companies right from initial dispatch depending on the box.

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

? Yes this was an All-Hands fire as it says in the title and description. If you'd like to see the units on scene they are also in the description.

Nice Great work 🔥🚒

[@Ramseylove]

Great work FDNY Response Videos

[@FairfaxFirePhotography]

The beginning audio is really quiet, or that might be because my washing machine is too loud!! Great footage Nicholas! Crazy that you got so close!!

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

+FairfaxFireBuffs I don’t know what’s happening but my scanner seems to get quieter each day! But then again the trucks are extremely loud while pumping water and keeping the ladders up! Thanks for watching Carson!

[@turnoutgear2498]

Can't help but think of 9/11 when I see NYC ff's. Y'all ROCK! God bless.

[@MusicLoverPearson]

So every time there's a building fire here in NYC which have been going on long before 911 it makes you think of 911?Do you know how stupid you sound a plane did not purposely crash into that bakery to cause that fire.Are you going tho think the same way if your home caught fire idiot?

[@dahanix2]

MusicLover P God, you’re ignorant. The person just thought of 9/11 due to the SAME uniform they wore, and the SAME GEAR, and the SAME trucks, but a bit more updated. People could think of things out of the blue, and when did he/she say that they thought of a plane crashing into it?

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

Nice coverage video captures :o)

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

Larry R Wendell Jr thank you very much Larry!

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

Thank you very much for the Heart! :o)

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

Larry R Wendell Jr ahah you are very welcome!

[@larryrwendelljr4465]

Your all so very welcome! :o)

[@exterminator4808]

This seems like an overkill. Considering the fact that the fire wasn't even visible.

[@sirius8103]

Great video, I really like americans firetrucks. Hello from France, friends ! Question: why 3 ladders ?

[@drewchamberlain2389]

Run cards in New York for a commercial building require so many trucks of each type I’m assuming the 3 ladders were requested and were some of the closer units would be my guess but I’m not a big city firefighter just a small community so not exactly sure on there department SOP

[@Ramseylove]

Nice Great job keep it up

[@JeffKnight109]

Nice! video & on scene too

[@callum1651]

The thumbnail looks like they're building some kind of human pyramid thing

[@benabadie7351]

What does it mean when it says “box” fire

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

A box is an abbreviated street address, they are short combinations of numbers that represent specific intersections throughout the city. For example Box 895 is 56th and Lexington Avenue. Hope that that is understandable :) thanks for watching!

[@azul8811]

No such thing as box fire. "Box" refers to the fire alarm boxes that used to dot the city streets. You can tell the location by the orange globe up on the lamp post nearby. Each Box was assigned a number. Many were removed during the Giuliani administration when Howard Safir was the Fire Commissioner, although some still exist. They were removed because in certain neighborhoods there was an incredible number of false alarms that were transmitted via the street boxes, and most fires are reported via telephone. Originally, the boxes were painted red and were activated by twisting a brass handle (that also set off a small bell) which allowed you to open a door to gain access to a pull lever. These were called dual action boxes. The idea of the dual action & bell was to discourage false alarms. The problem was that some people would mistakenly think that they had transmitted an alarm once they had merely opened the access door and heard the bell sound. Unfortunately, if they had not then pulled down the little lever, no alarm was transmitted. Therefore, later boxes were of a different design with a large and obvious pull handle. Most of these boxes also had a guard that first had to be lifted, but did not obscure visualizing the transmitting handle. Pulling the handle allowed a spring powered wheel to rotate. The wheel was fashioned to tap out the box number to the FD Borough Communications office, which notified the companies that are assigned to that box location. Both type boxes were electro-mechanical boxes that required that they be rewound by a fire officer before "taking up" from the scene. Prior to establishing two way radio communication on all fire apparatus, a Morse code type key inside of the box could be accessed by the chief to tap out the appropriate signal to the dispatcher. He accessed this as he would to rewind the box, that is, by use of a FDNY alarm box key. Also inside the box was a small card that listed all units assigned to the box location from the 1st alarm assignment up to the 5th. Sometime in the 1960's when fire activity skyrocketed in NYC, the Rand Corporation was hired to examine how resources could be better utilized. (For example, 3 Engines, 2 Trucks and 1 Battalion Chief were generally assigned to the activation of a street box). The Rand Corp. made various recommendations, one of which was to convert the electro-mechanical boxes to ERS boxes with a push button allowing the caller to speak with dispatcher. The idea being that the dispatcher could dispatch a response appropriate with the type of call. Unfortunately the temptation to be able to transmit a false alarm by merely pushing a button was too much for some folks and false alarms further skyrocketed. The point of my rather long winded history lesson? Every notification for alarm to the FDNY, irrespective of how it is initiated, is assigned the Box Number of the nearest alarm box, even if the physical box has been gutted of its operating mechanism. This allows the dispatcher to assign the appropriate units. Also, not all FDNY alarm boxes are at intersections, in fact, not all are on the street. Some are in Public Schools. They are known as Special Building Boxes and have a unique numbering system to designate them as such.

azul8811 dude wtf you wrote a whole essay on this

[@danielrodrigues-el9se]

Perfect!!!!!!

[@ph11p3540]

Why is it, every time I watch a NYC fire video I find bags of garbage piled along the curbs. Don't these places have garbage locker bins like other cities to control garbage fires and unwanted garbage scattering?

[@joea1433]

Who watches the trucks to prevent theft while their attention is focused on the fire?

[@coleman4840]

Joe A Believe it or not some dude did actually try and steal a firetruck in the city. Of course it didn’t end well for the dude but it happened

[@apmazurka]

God those Diesels sound Good and Ratty!!

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

+theandymano :D Thanks for watching!

[@Andy-je3el]

man one of these days fdny's lack of scene security is going to really bite them in the ass.. you shouldn't be anywhere near there. makes for nice video but civillians shouldn't be in there like that.

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

Andy, fair point! Thanks for watching!

[@danrossell6375]

FDNY doesn't do scene security, not their job. That's PD's job.

[@robertniklas4260]

I think the department is quite aware of the regular firebugs, that follow and film them. They do a hell of a job staying out of the way. And most get great footage. If you have been to NYC, you would see that most people would walk through a gun battle, and not pay any attention. They always have somewhere to go, and don't want to be late.
