Worst fire I ever fought was a pallet yard. Extremely hot and the construction of the pallets allows for a lot of oxygen into the fire. Great video, brings back great memories!

[@WestSideGangsta]

Thank you for your service.

[@maxpower8916]

Pallets. Notorious for burning hot and fast. Nice footage as always JJ.

[@Utubin]

Exactly. So lets have oil tankers right adjacent. So glad no explosion. For the firefighters life's are saved. Because that close with that intense power firemen would not stand a chance. Whoever wrote license and approved pallets and oil needs there head examined. Stupidity unfortunately kills everyday. God bless the firefighters.(always). 9.11 never forget the lives from that disaster. God Bless from Atlanta Georgia.

[@ptmy8590]

Those questioning the ones "standing around" must not understand firefighting. Not everyone works at the same time. They go in shifts so the ones that were fighting fire can rehab while fresh firefighters take their place. If everyone was working at the same time then everyone would have to rehab at the same time.

[@blckcloud15253]

What they cant spare 2 or 3 guys to get that van and pallet fire on the curb out?

[@illiilliilliill]

I saw a lot of grab-assing going on there.

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

Because those fires have no immediate life hazard or danger of spreading to anything. Focus on the big picture and once you have the fire contained then you can focus on the little things.

[@qwrtz7472]

@@FDNYResponseVideos little things can grow quickly Big.. but i understand your Point of view

[@mikej9470]

@@illiilliilliill I did too. Lots of well dressed observers. Has nothing to do with shifts or jobs, they didn't rotate the guys in the buckets. Just lots of guys standing around. Plenty enough to grab a section of hose and tap into that Tower Ladder for a bit of water to deal with the cars and pallets on fire. The Jeep on fire was responsible for the bulk of the black smoke. Knock that out so your guys aren't sucking in all those carcinogens.

[@William1221-q1e]

seeing those trucks possibly catch fire makes me want to cry, especially the old Mack, also it's amazing how they know what hose goes where

[@donniegray553]

each hose is identified by lettering of its station/truck id. and location. Otherwise, it WOULD be a nightmare to get everything back to its original owner

A pallet yard not too far from I worked at the time (pallet fires are insanely intense. And a cardboard manufacturing company. With that last one, me and my cousin were drinking beer on his patio about 3 miles down wind from that fire, and we had still hot embers floating down on us.
