🌟 REKINDLE 🌟 FDNY Manhattan All Hands Box 1831 Large Brush Fire Inwood Hill Park

[@kennywatson175]

You and JJ always with the best video

[@SkylerFire]

Thx

[@johndavis6119]

The city’s gonna need to call in a forestry service camp crew or two before this thing g is done. Maybe with a bulldozer and a couple front end loaders. But I’ll tell you after my experience in northern Baltimore County I’ll never forget that crackling sound As long as I live.

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks

Great job Skyler and FDNY guys👏🚒

@@SkylerFire Hi Skyler! You're welcome

[@donnamitchell7707]

Outstanding footage Skylar. I had a bad feeling that the fire would reignite. They need to bring in heavy equipment to move the burnt areas so that it won't start up again. It may take a day or two before it's completely out. Have a great day my friend, and stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️🚒👨‍🚒.

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks for watching

[@justinkennedy1745]

Don't move burnt areas. You line the fire in the unburned , green side. Called direct, indirect or parallel line construction.

[@slackjawedyokel1]

@@justinkennedy1745 agreed -sometimes (most times)trying to put a brush fire out is the worst thing you can do --and most of what I am seeing here is a backpack leaf blower will pretty well get the job done -

Thank you Skyler stay safe

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks

[@Stargazzer811]

They are doing good fighting it, but it might be good to contact some of the volunteers on Long Island and upstate for input/support. A little extra help never hurts. As always though much respect to my brothers and sisters in NYC. Great work on this Skyler; I get better news from you than the news!

[@SkylerFire]

[@johnpappas2060]

Bless Good coverage Thanks 🙏

[@SkylerFire]

Our pleasure!

[@johndavis6119]

Wildfires are notorious for rekindling. It get in the root as mycelium layers and pops up wherever it wants. They’re going to need air tanker drops before it’s all said and done. Great video here.

[@SkylerFire]

Yup you’re right.

[@Rangersfan381]

mycelium layers ? I had to google LOL

[@benv5812]

Forestry crews will wet themselves with laughter watching this. The first 20 minutes of the video could be cut to 1 minute with a pre-connect.... tower is a good idea though..........

[@SkylerFire]

Ok

[@kevinn5662]

How much water does nyc engine carry on it? 500 gals? They could have shuttled water with a couple engines faster than dropping all that hose. Great coverage though. Thanks for posting

[@SkylerFire]

500 on all engines yes

[@carlschieferstein339]

Engine 10 from down by the trade center was called to Inwood?

[@SkylerFire]

Fire watch yes

[@AlGenovese813]

Skyler, how come they didn't special call the satellite for water relay or marine units?

[@SkylerFire]

Satellite is a good 15-20mins away. Probably same for marine unit

[@robertbarbely2353]

Put ladders up use the reach like a sprinkler. And or gated y at tip with 1and half lines. Faught meny in jersey.

[@SkylerFire]

👍

[@matthewsmith9624]

Hpw much water do the pumpers carry?

[@SkylerFire]

500 gallons

[@Stargazzer811]

500 gallons, but the FDNY uses that as a backup. 98% of the time they'll pump directly off a hydrant when its available.

[@jeffdillon8816]

I am a little surprised by the bridge standpipe radio traffic. Did they forget it’s just a dry standpipe and that it needs to be fed? I wonder if the manifold would have worked well there. Stretch to the manifold to get close then run lines off it.

[@SkylerFire]

Idk

[@rdh72]

I’m surprised they didn’t dispatch CTU with the drone for an aerial view for the IC.

[@SkylerFire]

@@rdh72 they been out all day I think they are tired

[@rdh72]

@ makes sense now. Plus I’m sure the drone batteries has to be fully recharged. Being a licensed drone pilot I should know.

[@SkylerFire]

@rdh72 well they have numerous batteries charging they can go for a long time they have over 50 drones also

[@rdh72]

@ ah gotcha. Is NYPD aviation qualified and trained to use the Bambi bucket for their choppers to help with putting out the brush fires?

[@infanatorgaming6577]

Looks like they could use a water tanker on that scene right about now!

[@SkylerFire]

Nope they did fine

[@glenndraper5760]

F.D.N.Y. Should Consider Getting A Specialized Helicopter For Major Bushfires With The Big Water Bucket And It Could Be Useful Over Major Structure Fires .Just A Suggestion To Think About. 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸😁😊😎🤗

@@glenndraper5760 NYPD has it.

[@SkylerFire]

There was 2 Brush Fire units assigned. 8 citywide. They are to big for the trails

[@bobbondi7191]

FDNY isn't CalFire when it comes to brush fires, but CalFire does it all year long. Well they do, except for rainy season when the mudslides put the fires out for them.😅😅

[@SkylerFire]

Thanks for watching

[@justinkennedy1745]

Just need to bring in some wildland detailers to help spin up there crews in basic wildland. Including Sawyers to fall the hardwood snags.

[@trevorbrowne9408]

Cringe.. calfire 😅 they think they know everything, sadly not the case

[@jeffdillon8816]

I’m hoping some of the rain we got in NC will help the situation up there.

[@SkylerFire]

Not looking like any for another week

[@tombattino3319]

Skylar you should start live streaming the jobs you go to instead of posting them at a later time, as someone who listens to my scanner a lot I’d love to be able to tune into your live when a big job is happening instead of waiting for the post. Think about it Atleast, I think you’d gain even more publicity, think about all the off duty firefighters who would watch live when a big job is happening.

[@SkylerFire]

There is no editing during live videos and I am not going live for reasons of that.

[@tombattino3319]

@@SkylerFire oh ok makes sense

[@abbottshaull9831]

Well the can works almost as effective as Indian Packs. It was effective.

Can seemed to make it worse

[@barryperri6629]

Why? Chief Dudley get more company's in there right away when they had to hunt for hydrants?

[@SkylerFire]

What are you talking about? There is only one hydrant there.

[@abbottshaull9831]

Seems like only week ago Engineers could be seen wearing shorts.

[@SkylerFire]

Yup! Temps dropped

[@amandahudson431]

No way to bring water drops in?

[@abbottshaull9831]

Not it city like New York. Even with helicopter bucket drops it would still pose more of danger to the Fire Fighter and Residents than it is worth to fight this fire.

[@SkylerFire]

NYPD has one

[@24680jru]

Class A foam and some good hand crew work will do the trick. Request mutual aid from state forestry or USFS

[@SkylerFire]

Ok.

[@hosedragger-204]

My thoughts exactly. Call in mutual aid from an out of area department that has the proper hand tools for Wildland firefighting. Must be that FDNY forgot to cover Wildland Fire control ops in the academy. Here in Vermont, it's mandatory for ALL firefighters (full time, on-call, and volunteer) to receive a minimum of 9 hours training on Wildland Fire Control as part of their training to obtain Firefighter 1 certification. Which is funny to me because here in Vermont, most brush/Wildland fires burn an acre of less.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

~it was never out~

[@SkylerFire]

Still smoldering

[@Pikeman020]

FDNY are a great department no doubt but there lack of experience and knowledge of brush fires are the worst I've seen and I've been doing this over 42 years I love these guys but y'all need some forestry training or maybe bring in the forest service to help you guys out

[@SkylerFire]

When is the last time FDNY had brush fires? They are very rare! Can’t train on something that rarely happens

[@Stargazzer811]

The FDNY doesn't fight brush fires often. Once in a blue moon, not like the companies on Long Island or upstate.

[@luiscosta9469]

Only in America they use a tower ladder to fight a brush fire 😂😂😂

[@abbottshaull9831]

Most of the time around when I seen them the deluge gun on the Engine. First time seeing Tower (or that fact any Ladder Truck) being used like this. Then again fire is on rise, so it kind of make sense to do that.

[@fdMT_EnGy]

Did it work??? Something is only stupid if it doesn't work.

[@georgecoons6872]

hell yes. anything but lose.

[@chazman4461]

So one city in the country uses a tower because it has close access and now this a country stereo type?

[@SkylerFire]

It worked.

[@TalbotBrooks]

CalFire must be laughing their asses off at this... One beyond crew with rakes, pulaskisf, and Indian tanks would be done and gone in 30 minutes for what's on camera.

[@SkylerFire]

Not a bread and butter for the FDNY

[@abbottshaull9831]

When the vast majority is set up to deal with Structural Fire, and those tools would be used almost 0 times each year by the majority of Companies. It like when you go to war, you go to war with the military you have, not one you would like to go with.
