Caught this fire on Scanner Radio...dispatch got very busy, very quickly. Great capture. Excellent visuals...Excellent Comms!

[@aportman58]

I have never in my life except back in the early wars years the number of 3, 4, 5 alarm fires in NY. I guess it is so congested with all types of occupancies crammed into buildings that are falling apart and have been renovated and patched so many times. As many old congested deteriorating buildings in NYC, it has to be impossible to maintain (enforce) any kind of regulations and safety measures. Dispatcher absolutely phenomenal!

[@Eric-sn4qz]

Great video. Thanks for no annoying play by play.

[@robertspirka1353]

Listened live GREAT JOB TO THE DISPATCHER!!!!!

[@desertdinghy9833]

Great dispatching! There's so much more going on than dispatch handling the fire alone. They're tracking changes in unit assignment, relaying radio traffic and moving units around the city to cover unmanned stations emptied out due to the run response, and notifying off duty personnel to man reserve units. At the same time there are still all kinds of fires happening, traffic accidents, medical calls, rescues, you name dispatch is handling it. What a great way to make a living! If you have a knack for multi tasking, a cool head in emergencies and are a good communicator, apply for an open position in fire dispatch. It's one of the best jobs in the fire service.

[@alex-internetlubber]

I've always wondered about 9/11 for that reason. So many had to respond, but you couldn't just leave the rest of the city alone. I really wonder about "other" calls that came in that day

[@tonyrowland9216]

Great catch, watching this one hurt a little, worked that area for the better part of 25 yrs and have driven past those bldgs 1000s of times.

[@henrypichocki5436]

This dispatcher is amazing!!!!

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

During the first few minutes it is easy to understand why this is a 5 alarm fire! Sorry for Christa, hope the insurance will pay for the damage. And in action again: the Command Post out of the suitcase at 1:35! I guess this piece of equipment is typical for the FDNY, no other Fire Dept. has it. At any rate, someone would have to explain how this thing works! Flashover at 10:35! All the best! Oh, I forget: we also had one spectacular fire In Germany a week ago. Industrial fire in Berlin - Lichterfelde, the galvanization plant belonging to Diehl Defence was burning, took two days to put it out!

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

@@25yrsotj Well yes, that's true - but what does this simple fact have to do with a 5 alarm fire? Thanks!

[@25yrsotj]

@@jurgenkuhlmann9194 you’re criticizing has everything to do with it ! If you’ve ever worked side by side with the FDNY you’d know how they operate and while they’re not running around like chickens without heads you have no idea of the interior layout of the supermarket and what’s burning and for how long ! But hey what does FDNY know ? 🤔

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

@@25yrsotj You are getting everything wrong here. I never chose to criticize anyone, least the FDNY. All I did was comment on what was interesting to point out. For example: this mobile Command Post: German Fire Departments have vehicles for that, marked with "Einsatzleitung" (Command). I suggest that you read my comment more carefully. Cheers from Germany.

[@williammann5082]

when fireman get trapped in the building the fast truck is the ones who go in and get them out. There are 6 firefighters with all their gear and SCBA and all the tools in case they are called to go so there always ready to go at any second

Tell fire alarm stop using term units there ompanys

[@JB91710]

Are there fans blowing air in, so the smoke is forced out? Have they had Flashover Training recently? Are they attacking the Rear fire from the Rear or they trying to get to it from the front? Something tells me there isn't any water being used at all. SOP so far! Typical! A straight stream of water being squirt blindly into the smoke with no idea where the fire actually is. Maybe they have been waiting for it to come to them from the Rear! If ever there was a time for Vertical Venting, this is it! Cooling the smoke with all those streams? 18:00 And they are accomplishing What? They let it spread to the exposures! That's great! Go back to the beginning and see how small this fire was in this one-story structure.

[@sonanddadchannelmostlydad56]

I usually agree with you but I think earlier on the video there was a firefighter climbing the ladder with a vent saw.

[@JB91710]

@@sonanddadchannelmostlydad56 #Well that shows you have a brain and know how to use it. Judging by how the smoke got worse out the front throughout the entire video, I don't think they ever made a roof cut or as usual, it didn't improve anything. From what they said, the fire was showing in the back so that's where they should have been focusing their attention. Fans to vent horizontally followed by a fog of water to cover everything.
