*Pre-Arrival* FDNY Firefighters Run into Burning School; Fire 5th floor [ Manhattan 10-75 Box 1148 ]

[@shantaylor1822]

My dad was a fire fighter or smoke eater. I used to spend lots of time down the firehouse. Sadly he passed away 12 years ago. All fire fighters are hero's to me. I'm 50 and can't get enough of watching fire fighting films. Even though i'm a Brit, even i'd say FDNY are the best in the world.

1:48 Hey What’s up Buffy. XD

[@theextremeofflight]

Great video, thanks to FD and PD for letting the dude filming be so close/involved

[@jayjays3592]

Great footage. Almost looks like a movie at some stages. Whatever camera you use has very good lens for night shooting

[@toxic1venom]

Nice catch as always, thanks for your time, efforts, and AWESOME work.

[@dougc.3497]

Great video. I found the guys discussing the difficulty of breaching the gate at the end really interesting. All of you young firefighters out there take note...this is the best place to learn the stuff that isn't taught in the academy. It is the seemingly insignificant stuff that will let you make it to retirement!

[@gingerbread6614]

We love all of you. Thank you

[@miteyoak]

Great video as always! Did that FF call you Buffy? 😂

what time stamp?

Yep!

[@mshappyapple8663]

Great coverage! Thank you for sharing with us. :-)

[@clydefrog8711]

Amazing footage man.

[@connorvasey3555]

Who is the Deputy and Battalion Chief who responded in this video? (Number/Name)

[@rodbattle37]

Seem like Joe Clark from the movie Lean on me. Put the chains on the doors so they couldn’t get in. Oh Eastside High. They use to call him crazy joe now they call him Batman lol

[@waynepytlik9166]

Great Video. Fire coverage by film or video usually are fire buffs, nicknamed, (Buffy). Most times if you do not impede the operations the crews let you film.

[@jays106]

helmet cam view would have been kinda cool on this one

[@baudraccomarco]

it seems strange that the gate could not be lifted off the hinges to remove it

[@firetools1]

Title states firefighters run into school. I did not see any firefighter run at any time. Probably could have just the rabbit tool on the gate lock. Capt Morris (retired R1) could have opened the front doors in seconds.

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

If we need to go into the details for the running part 10:40. Yeah they had trouble with the cast iron gate. They went back and looked at what they coulda done better.

[@charleshughes9396]

I guess the 19 thumbs down people don't like firefighters,hope ya don't need them anytime soon

[@josh70812]

Diego Fox no the thumbs down people don’t like how he keep putting the camera low it’s stupid

[@yoyodud67111]

Did one of the firefighters call you "buffy"? Lol

[@michaelmarzan4277]

May I ask what is Buffy...is that a slang for firefighter....

[@cornchips2201]

@Enjoys Cereal getting in the way =/= getting involved, such a weird and intrusive activity I don't get why people do it

[@Rombizio]

That metal gate was made of Vibranium.

[@adrianlennox792]

But nothing behind

[@fdnyesu]

Nice video, did they ever determine the cause?

[@roychivers3414]

Mice with matches😃😆

[@Tl100078]

When do u realize tht saw is not working ?! 20 mins later lets try forcing door conventionally

[@nmbr5ml]

I couldn't see it in the video but I'd guess there was a metal plate welded on that side of the latch to prevent it being pried open. That had to be cut off with the K12 before they could work on the latch, with irons.

[@nathanr.8556]

They were cutting through steel dumbass

[@jonarmedpiandsecurityoffic9051]

Why not just hook it to the back of a truck and floor it?

[@benjaminsorenson]

@@jonarmedpiandsecurityoffic9051 because doing it that was causes more destruction than necessary.

[@jays106]

@@jonarmedpiandsecurityoffic9051 the doors had external hinges pop the hinge pins or cut the hinges doors come out of the way but no lets take forever to try to cut through the reinforced latch area

[@derrickguffey4775]

[@brianluber865]

To me it looked as though they were seeing the REFLECTION of a fire BELOW that window in a crossbar of the window frame. Perhaps on the floor below the window or from the floor below...?

[@KSpides53]

Are schools type 2 construction?

[@robb5223]

Usually If not always Class 1 construction

[@jonathanerickson1543]

Type 2, older might be 3. I can’t think of any that I’ve seen that are 1.

[@michaelmarzan4277]

O it was burning school I thought it was an apt...still

[@Rickard53]

Are those windows not openable? Lol

[@adamlewandoski7144]

Most of the time no, as it is to impede possible jumpers or kids falling out of windows. Same reason why windows in most hotels and especially hospitals dont open. If they do it will only be a couple inches.

[@kd5you1]

All of them were openable. Didn't you hear the glass breaking? lol

[@deadass_deezy0727]

My friend goes to this school

[@erictxaviation4451]

I hope the fireman with the saw has some sort of ear pro in.

[@raysmith6891]

Mike Doggers 20 years later...what did you say?WHAT DID YOU SAY?

[@erictxaviation4451]

Mike Doggers with your mentality why wear ppe at all? Leave your helmet, turnouts, scba in the truck. Why waste time right? Hearing protection exists for a reason just like all the other equipment.

[@BIGDROC99]

EricTXAviation Why wear your PPE?.....because your gonna die of you go into an IDLH without anything. Your not gonna die from using a saw for a few minutes.

[@raysmith6891]

EricTXAviation couldn't agree more. Come see me 20 years later and see how your hearing is. Tinnitus is a fooker believe me.

[@erictxaviation4451]

Mike Doggers obviously. With that said, do you wear eye protection? You won’t die if you don’t wear eye protection.

[@dylansikes2786]

What kind of model Scott scba are those never seen any like that

[@BIGDROC99]

Dylan Sikes 45 minute cylinder

[@adrianlennox792]

Just show

[@obieantonio7947]

FDNY should increase the age limit. I hope in the next exam they increase the age limit. It would be awesome.

[@chrisbarr1359]

Why? They already have a 100 applicants for every position!!

[@obieantonio7947]

What's wrong with raising the age limit? Raising the age limit from 29 to 36 is not old. There's people out there that are 30+ older and are more physically fit than than the guys in their mid 20s.

[@kirsch1616]

I’m 30 and finally chasing my dream, age limit in my town and most surrounding is 35. But if you can pass physical exam with flying colors there are exemptions.

[@leolee9200]

lol this is my school

[@kevinhancock8157]

You make an easy entry into a long drawn out saga...in the u.k we would of had that gate open in seconds...u bimble around together like a sewing circle..all looking at each other not knowing what to do next.....thank God for the u.k. fire service ..at least we don't stand around ...
