FDNY BOX 1595 ~ **EARLY ARRIVAL RAW FOOTAGE** OF FDNY BATTLES MAJOR 5TH ALARM FIRE ON W 141ST STREET

[@TobyDeWit]

Amazing how 1 room is still clear of fire when everything else is on fire. Great job again and thanks for all your movies. Love Them !

[@ArtByFinch]

Every time I watch your videos, it brings me a little bit closer to understanding what my grandfather must have experienced when he started as a firefighter in the 1950's, worked his way up the ranks and retired as a Chief in the Vancouver FD here in Vancouver BC Canada. I never got to hear any of his stories, I never developed a close relationship with him and when I started watching your videos last year & it gave me a glimpse of what fire fighters go through, how brave, courageous & selfless they are to run into a fire when we all run out. So when he died earlier this year, these videos helped me see the type of man he was & why he never spoke about it.

[@freeman2399]

It's sad that your fathers stories and struggles died with him, and that you weren't close. I was not not close with my father either. My grandfather and grandmother both fought for Canada and Britain respectfully in WWII. They both died when I was young, so I never got to hear the stories of their battles, and what it was like in that dark that time in history.

[@THEMAJESTIRIUM1]

WELL, I UNDERSTAND AND NOW YOU CAN SEE WHAT HE DID BUT DON'T BEAT YOURSELF OVER THE HEAD. JUST THINK OF THE GREAT WORK HE DID FOR HIS COMMUNITY AND FAMILY.....MAY HE REST IN PEACE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....

[@timletts7255]

I can relate my my grandfather was a fireman for pompton lakes New Jersey. He was also a Marine in the United States Marine corps. I did have a fairly close relationship with her grandfather but you never talked about any of his experiences. And me and my older brother were little kids my parents manage an apartment complex and Vacaville California and me and my older brother almost set the apartment building on fire. My mother called him. Told him what we did. He said they did what!? He was on duty at the fire station and the very next day he was in California! He walked in our apartment with his leather belt already in his hand soaked good in wet and whipped both our butts bare! I think him everyday for doing that because it taught us both a very big lesson. After that every time you came to California he would put my mom's police scanner on the fire station. Any fire calls he would take me out there and point out what they were doing and teach me about fire suppression containment and extinguishing different types of fires. His lessons are the reason why I was able to put out 95% of a brush fire that was about 150 ft 200 ft long possibly a little bit longer 40 ft and width and the flames were at least 60 70 feet in the air bare handed before even the fire departments spotter got there nonetheless the engines! My grandfather passed away December 5th of 2000 from a heart attack. But he's still with us! Rip John Alexander Osbun. John thank you for your videos you're very informative and very good positioning on for watching the fires. Keep up the great work!

How is not putting a drop of water on the fire and sending the bucket up empty world's best? In order to put out the fire they actually have to blast it with water.

[@kowalski3769]

Wow! Big, nasty fire on this call! It's so strange seeing that one apartment in the middle all nice and set up with the lights on while a raging fire surrounds it!! It's like a whole little story on it's own in the midst of a big novel. Great commentary on the fire fighting and how on top of it the FDNY was. You called it perfectly. They got this under control pretty quick considering how big it was and the limited bucket ladder access. The fire didn't look that big from street. It's was a totally different scene down there and it was good to show that contrast. Great job capturing all of it!!!!! 👍

Well, it ain't pennies. Few other jobs requiring no college credits or degree pay over $100,000 by the fifth year of service. Even in NYC. But the cost of living in the City is killer, especially for a single income household. The pension is good but that starts after 22.5 years.

Right on point these r the best and most in depth of ops and everything

[@mikehoysler4322]

Just wondering why it always takes the FDNY so long to put master streams in use? Fire blowing out of the roof and they have 2, maybe 3 hand lines operating inside. The one tower wasn’t even manned! Meanwhile the fire continues to spread unabated. I also don’t understand why they leave truckies on the roof 30 min into the video. Great video as always JJ.

[@dubzytse710]

@@mikehoysler4322 i was def wondering y they had unmaned tower

[@mikehoysler4322]

@@dubzytse710 It’s not for a lack of manpower. They had hose stretched all over the street but only one tower & one ladder. Why not get some of those spectating FFs to move the hose and get a 2nd tower on the 1 - 2 corner? IMO the FDNY is their own worst enemy, yeah the streets are crowded with parked cars, yes there are lots of exposure issues, but once they opened up one tower master stream things got a lot better fast, but it was 50 min into the video so it took them at least 60 min to figure it out. Every fire it’s the same M.O.

[@bulldog6925]

At 3:52 and 7:24, a trench cut is cutting a large hole in the roof to release smoke, gases and flames, and also provides access for hose water on the fire. Great coverage, John!

[@MNIATNYK]

😡 you stole my explanation. LOL

[@ccc530]

With due respect, I will add a little more to your explanation: It is typically used to stop a fire from running further within the space between the ceiling and the roof, known as the cockloft. It’s a long cut that allows a large volume of fire and fuel (smoke is fuel) out of the building, this stopping the horizontal spread of the fire.

[@MNIATNYK]

[@thomasfreeman7770]

Excellent coverage on this one. This shows how fast a fire can spread once it gets a good foothold in the cockloft. It lets your viewers see how risky fire fighting can be as they see members on the roof over a well involved fire. Sometimes you see strange things happen in a building like there’s one top floor apartment where the lights are still on and the fire didn’t extend down to it . While all other top floor apartments had extension. I’m kind of surprised that lines were not used from the B side exposure during the height of the fire like they finally did. I’m sure the owner of that one car is not happy the tower ladder is short jacked on the car. That is risky in itself because the car doesn’t provide solid footing.

[@kowalski3769]

Yeah I noticed the same thing about that one apartment. So strange how it was all nice and peaceful in the middle of all that. Makes you wonder what was happening in there, who lived there, what's the backstory of that??? Not in a suspicious way, but more in a generally curious way.

If this was the start of fire season, it was a dandy! Great job on the 'angles' and narrative. Thanks for sharing.

[@normanhill535]

Thank you for the great video. I hope no injuries. Building renovations and HVAC fires are common in Arlington VA, as well as gas explosions in neighbouring counties.

I HEAR YA AND UNDERSTAND.....HERE THEY HAD SOME MINOR INJURIES.....YOU ARE WELCOME NORMAN THANKS SO MUCH......

[@bobandvirginiaravera4775]

Absolutely incredible footage of a very dangerous fire! Fantastic coverage, John! The early roof ops were truly scary--FDNY Members are incredible! Your ability to point out the fire dropping into the apartments was awesome! Great insight into the exposure 4 (?) issue (upper left corner of film)--very troubling. Interesting to see later on that they had hoses operating from the threatened building. Thanks for a great video!

[@thomasfreeman7770]

FYI since you have a question mark about the exposure comment. This is how exposures or the fire building it self is spoke of. Depending on the jurisdiction they use letters or numbers. The front of the building when looking down from the sky is A or number 1 side. It should be noted that incident command can make any part of the building the 1 side as long as they let everyone know. Following around the building in a clockwise direction the left side is B or 2, the rear is C or 3, and finally the right is D or 4.

Love your videos, like always! If you have a new iPhone 14, your probably triggering the switch between the regular camera and the ultra wide. In the “Settings” app, go to “Camera”, then scroll all the way down to “Macro Control” and turn it on. Then go up to “Preserve Settings” and turn on “Macro Control” there. You’ll then have a new control when you zoom in that’s a yellow circle with a flower in it - when you press it, it will lock the camera so it doesn’t keep switching. Hope this helps!

That facade looks to be around the 1880-1890 era. Roof most likely wooden and covered with layers and layers of roofing felt (bitumen) which burns quite ferociously. Nice job on the camerawork 👍

[@walteralter1686]

Informative commentary, great audio on the radio traffic. Them guys seem to know you and don't mind you inside the perimeter. Shots of the command center and watching the generals confer and perform their duties was a nice extra. Must take a head for organization and a good situation map to orchestrate a big city fire of that complexity. This kinda stuff is better than sitcoms and reruns any day of the week. Hand salute. What would the world be like if people would rather inform themselves than entertain themselves?

Hi John, as usual great coverage on the FDNY, A lot of fire, sounds like wind is hampering the operations. Not sure why they don’t have the Tower Ladder open upon the roof. Be Safe!!

Watching this for 2nd time and still feeling as stressed out and nervous for all members as i did the first time. Wickedly fast moving fire. You always have the best angles. I have and have always had the most respect for for emergency personnel and the work they do on a daily basis. They are a breed above, very top notch.

[@lindasherman9921]

Great job with the video. The camera issues weren't that noticeable. In regard to alarms, I wonder sometimes if they are reluctuant to call a full alarm response because of space limitiations for the apparatus. Things looked a little tight on this one. Have a safe and happy holiday season!

@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 WOW that was quick -must have been very obvious. I've seen it where it was too hard to determine so they just say it was electrical in some cases. It looked like a roof fire but no doubt the wind was a big part. Just grateful no one got hurt. Hope you were able to catch up on some sleep😵, don't need to end up sick again.
