It’s like being in the way is part of police training….. solid work dude. Always like watching truckies get it done.

[@firemanjeffgg2440]

It's bc deep down, all cops want to be firefighters 😂

[@robertmcsorley4001]

That's why God created firemen, so cops would have heroes 😅😂

Excellent job . From truck placement to roof ops . You can easily see the experience with these guys . Everybody knows their riding assignments and they go right to work . Philly Don’t Fuk around . Stay safe gentlemen 🤘🏻

[@chief1945]

Yeah brothet! Aint nothing like working on a crew that everyone knows their job and goes to work. I was blessed with great crews, guys that knew their shit and had your back and you theirs. We were the slowest ladder in the city (Trenton NJ FD L2), run wise but when we had a job, it was blowing out the windows, going thru the roof or a set up the pipe cuz the building is ah commin' down! Loved the job, miss the guys and the job but not the bullshit. Stay Safe my brother.

Great video and great work guys

[@chief1945]

Good job brothers! From TFD just up the river on the Jersey side. Retired L-2 TFD, 26 years, now enjoying the Florida Keys. I remember setting up L2, an '87 Simond-Duplex/LTI. Same outriggers and turntable ladder ops box but our ladder ops box was on the left. Brought back fond memories. Always admired PFD, good department that knows how to throw BIG water!

[@paulmusyk4lyfe51]

Thank you for all your service

[@MD21037]

Excellent video! It's enteraining and educating, watching roof ops by experienced crews, who know what they're doing.

[@elderrobertv.fullersr.1739]

Wow great video. The guys on the Ladder Truck are incredibly brave.

[@obcharles6236]

Good worker truck he's been a long time since I retired but I worked on 102 ft LTI up in Lancaster Pennsylvania so now I'm retired and I'm in a wheelchair so I can't do anything anymore but watch you guys but I think you did a wonderful job on that you didn't make a mistake and put a hole in the roof so wonderful job❤

Strong work friend, stay safe out there

[@YXLMAR]

Omg I remember you. Your the fire fighter that came to my house on 29th and Lehigh for the propane tank on the roof. Remember I was telling you my cousin Troy gore is the fire chief i knew I recognize your voice. Did u get video of that. I been subbed to u for a good min

[@jesseosada4690]

Haha I remember that, didn't get a video though. Thanks!

@@jesseosada4690 Dang 😂 stay safe out there

Unwritten rule of structure fires. The bigger the fire, the more cop cars blocking ingres.

[@Steve-cu1ye]

And all the firefighter not wearing scba and gear on fire scene t

[@Gruntm203]

@@Steve-cu1ye donate yours, you ain’t using it 😂😂

[@BigDuke-md8ec]

Same guys crying they need traffic control and “where are the cops when u need them “, someone is parked on the hydrant

[@stephaniekelly4384]

Posting from Australia, what are most of the roofs made of??? Over here zincaloom iron, corrugated steel, terracotta tiles, and slate shingles are mostly used

[@haroldenglish943]

Depends in where you are in the US. Old cities in North East with flat roofs as seen here are a type of rubber/tar. Most pitched roofs are mostly shingle. More rural areas you'll find metal. In Southwest US, tin and terra cotta. Just totally depends on what part of the country one lives in.

[@46fd04]

The roof sector should have had SCBA's, a TIC and a hoseline up there. As most of you know, TIC's work great when looking for extension

[@Steve-cu1ye]

They are all crying about needing more gear for cancer but doesn't wear scba on fire scene I don't cry when they die

[@haroldenglish943]

I always laugh when a touchie Feely type speaks about this, that, or the other. Men shouldn't fuck each other in the ass, dress up like women, nor shake hands like a wet noodle but here we are. Let me guess, you support time outs for fires too? How mean of you to force water on fire against it's will. That's racist. How about you do you with your Kommiefornia ideology and Philly do what Philly does. And may the Two never mix. Next your going to tell me about tail board riding and how that's bad too.

[@andriys.1860]

​@@Steve-cu1yeYou have a serious problem.

[@adamgraham8337]

That fella is working in smoke, doing roof operations without SCBA. That makes this ENTIRE scene an absolute DISGRACE. Incident Commanders should be sacked. With what we know of carcinogens in modern structure fires, that guy, and ANYONE onscene that was aware he had no SCBA on are a disgrace to the brotherhood

[@poppajoebeneckesr7573]

Thank you for pointing this out, The Truck Officer and the IC should be all over them, there's a reason we are issued PPE and SCBA, unless you are a mind reader anything and everything that can go wrong most likely will, including falling thru. Yes great job, but incredibly reckless and irresponsible. You put your brothers at risk to have to save you for your carelessness

[@chosenone1004]

So I’m curious , why do you guys still use those helmets ? Is it just to expensive to fit the entire department with leathers ?

[@wayfaerer320]

They're more comfortable than leathers, way lighter, just as protective if not better, and it's also a Philly thing.

[@omfgCantGetaUsername]

I don't think the modern traditional style helmets that the FDNY use are leather anyway. I looked them up. Bullard and Cairn have them. They're made of some other type of lightweight composite material instead of old leather like back in the day. I don't see the reason PFD can't upgrade to them in yellow color like they're wearing now. I saw the LAFD upgraded to the similar type, but still have optional helmets similar to their older ones.

Is this C Platoon?

A plt

[@itsmetyler94]

No sounding?? Hmm.

[@BillyButtry]

Shoot not scared of heights but that ladder made my but pucker and my balls climb up inside my pelvis. Nerve racking. I need a nerve pill now after that I been on them when younger In the Illinois fire service but that was at 18 not 50.
