[@georgewaters8592]

Well done !! I'm glad the black and white cat made out ok. FDNY prove once again that they are the best at what they do.

[@SkylerFire]

They sure are

[@grahamsmith6210]

I felt so bad for the cat, I'm glad they saved him

[@dongelinas5990]

Your close ups of the command center really add to the reporting. I look forward to your videos

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks for watching

[@aureliocasillas92]

Ray Downey would’ve been proud. Seeing his two sons, both as chiefs, commanding a fire together. What a legacy.

[@SkylerFire]

You took the words out of my head! I said that as I was filming it

[@mesofly6969]

Skyler, you and John are neck and neck. You both are the best FDNY video guys. Always right on it. If I can’t get a good view from one I know I will get it from the other. The only 2 guys I watch for FDNY videos. Simply the best. Drew, Anoka, Minnesota.

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks much appreciated

[@tjerkheringa937]

You have turned the craft of fire reporting into an art!

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks!

[@fredobermeier2846]

Top notch Skyler! Hats off once again to the FDNY. True professionals.

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks

[@akirk1573]

thank the heavens that cat got saved. those guys are awesome.

[@SkylerFire]

For sure

Awesome job on the video and transmissions. Your descriptions and updates edit was on point too. Solid work Skylar fire

Appreciate it!

[@bigtank7293]

Crazy to think I was riding in to 288, and BAM! JOBS! As always top shelf production by you bro! And glad to finally meet you in person! An honor! You are the man! And to get to watch the FDNY live action! Nothing like it!💪🏾🔥

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks so much Tank! It was a honor to meet you as well!

[@mrharleyguy2u]

When was the last time you have seen a DAC with a scott pack on ? Malcom is always ready!

[@SkylerFire]

Malcolm is the best!

[@dennispatrick7158]

Great coverage as always Skyler. And it is just unbelievable to watch the brave men and women of the FDNY work so hard to protect the people of NYC. If I may, I have a question for you, are you a FDNY firefighter? It seems to me that you are. Anyway, great coverage as always.

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks for watching! FDNY is great at what they do. I am not part of the FDNY. Just documenting the best fire department in the world!

[@richardmeo2503]

Your initial camera sweep showed bad bad. Heavy fire in middle wing of 3-wing complex, extension into A wing which means already jumped throat and any trench cut. Trying to get ahead of this is extremely hard, especially with any manpower cuts. Wish guys would use drop-pins on windows instead of just smashing them. No Heat, No break. Those large H-Type had parapet walls in wings, but initially they only went to top floor ceiling. After a few years of this type of disaster they were coded to underside of roof. That too failed and the separating walls were coded above the roof around 1930. Around 25 min you can see fire has extended into C wing. Interesting to see what year this was built as to wall placement. Good video, stay safe

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks for the comment!

[@grahamsmith6210]

is that why these type of fires seem to be less common in buildings built in the 1930s and 1940s, even though they're also usually considered NFPs? This building was built in 1928

[@richardmeo2503]

Yes, I believe in 28 the walls only went to ceiling of top floor. The next code change went to underside of roof, and then finally above the roof. $ is always the root of the trouble. Such a shame. I have seen multiple major losses in other videos in US of brand New Complexes becoming total losses because the locals did not require compartmentation of bldg.. @@grahamsmith6210

[@scottperry67]

Both you & JJ do such a fantastic job. Thank you 😊

[@SkylerFire]

Thank you!

[@shawnramsey8264]

Great video nice job all around Skyler!!!

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks

[@robertscutt2904]

Good Coverage Of This Fire.🔥It's Not A Merry Christmas For These Poor Souls. 🙏🏻 God Help Them. 🙏🏽

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks! Sadly not. Over 400 people I believe

[@donkauke2372]

Skyler: has FDNY examined use of “spider” now used by arborists to access trees unreachable by mobile lift/buckets? Tough fire here with poor access.

[@SkylerFire]

No thanks for watching

[@Chicagolandfirevideos]

No but Cfd did in the 60s and now we have snorkels, which would be very good in a situation like this

[@donkauke2372]

FDNY has “buckets” but they are on truck chassis as CFD snorkel. Problem is access for vehicle, “spider” is on crawler with extendable stabilizers. Might not take the weight of high pressure water however.

[@johndavis6119]

Excellent video Skyler. I’m glad they saved the kitty. Stay warm up there!

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks Merry Christmas

[@jacobkeppler1984]

Another great awesome video thanks brother merry Christmas

[@SkylerFire]

Happy holidays!

[@abegumroyan]

There is one angle you get of Joey Downey (I think it’s him, maybe chuck) where he is a spitting image of his old man. Holy hell

[@SkylerFire]

Pointing? That was Chuck!

[@raymondszybowicz7597]

You are the best makes a person feel like they are right there helping to fight the fire Merry Christmas and Happy New year😮.

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks for watching

[@Everydayinterests]

Both Downey sons! Awesome

[@SkylerFire]

For sure

[@marcoespinozajr1761]

Skyler why doesn't the tiller ladders have a master stream on top of the ladders so they can go defensive mode same time as the tower ladders

[@SkylerFire]

Tillers and Sticks both have the ability too but safer to use tower ladders so that's what is used

[@johndean5251]

Great Job Skyler

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks

[@derrickeverett8382]

Great catch skyler be safe and keep brother Zion informed of any fires though out city wide

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks for watching

[@gunillarasmusson5636]

How come the fire is spreading down the building, or was it only smoke?

[@SkylerFire]

Very only building

[@stvnd53]

now that's a fire Thank you

[@SkylerFire]

Yeah

[@user-zn7xw7rl1w]

Thank you sir, ❤ videos.

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks

[@misterrob3513]

Why do they smash all those windows from the inside ?

[@SkylerFire]

For ventilation.

[@tjhurson2493]

chief Meyers is a great boss

[@SkylerFire]

Indeed!

[@19irving]

I hope the cat was ok and didn't get lost.

[@SkylerFire]

I believe so sadly the other one didn’t make it

[@19irving]

@@SkylerFire There were two cats?

[@Mph75]

Are the over head camera shots on the command center from a drone?

[@SkylerFire]

Yes

[@The_DuMont_Network]

What is "the bottle"? I hear them calling to "drop the bottle". Thanks!

[@SkylerFire]

The bottle stretch is a bottle with rope that is thrown from a upper floor to the street level to bring a line to that floor

[@NPGxMOD]

FDNY!

[@SkylerFire]

Thx
