If they knew pretty quickly that they could not get into the fire apartment, why didn't they attack the fire from the outside with a ladder truck? You can see in the video a "bucket" was sitting there the whole time. Then once they made entry, shut off the exterior attack. That fire burned for quite some time when they could have had water on it.

Tough push into the fire apartment and tremendous patience on the bosses letting them get it done . Well done FDNY

Its these apartments in general. Probably been furnished and remodeled several dozen times, old wiring and new wiring and abandoned wiring in drop down roofs, hideaway cubby holes, and rooms that didn't exist. Combine that with a hoarder and you end up with a big angry fire hiding in a place you cannot access. Hats off to FDNY for working through a dynamic situation like this. And kudos to the media guy for shooting good footage

Fighting a fire is not as simple as just spraying a hose at a building, there is meticulous planning that needs to be done in order to protect the firefighters and the people who live nearby. The firefighters know what they’re doing.

Sounds like a hoarder apartment. This is one reason why hoarding is so dangerous, besides being unsanitary. I've had to work on 3 hoarder homes over the last couple of years, you can't possibly imagine it until you see it for yourself live, stuff piled up 5 to 6 feet, barely a path into the bedroom or bathroom. One property I helped out at, I said the 20' dumpster looked a little big for our needs. They told me they were on their 2nd 20' long dumpster load.

I've a hoarder a few houses down the street (Like he has problems opening his own front door). And here in germany (especially oldish ) houses are kinda close to each other. We assume that this is going to be one of the people we get out dead one day because he fell asleep with a cigarrette and one of the probably 30 yr old newspapers will catch fire.

Hats off to the FDNY for getting the job done under difficult circumstances. The one thing I will criticize some of their members (and any other FFs for that matter) for is not using their air packs! I just watched one of South Metro’s videos showing dealing with the LODD and funeral last week for one of their assistant chiefs from cancer directly linked to his job. Please protect yourselves. One question I had was why didn’t they use either the ladder or tower truck to get the hose line up to fire. Seems like that’d have been a lot faster than a hand over hand rope pull. Either way nicely done.

(Well i was a truckie so i always was better on the roof or with irons...)

From the apparent age of the building, you probably have "real" plaster walls (good) on wood/metal lathing (not good). Preventing the fire from spreading is secondary to putting it out in the fire apartment (which is going to be a total loss anyway). The delay in getting through the door due to the police lock didn't help things.

These would date to around 1910 and correct- plaster and lathe walls. Shame to see a hand made sheet metal cornice destroyed by the fire, even if they renovate the building they'll never put a replacement cornice up and the facade will always look stupidly scalped. At best they might stick some crappy fiberglass replica up there but probably not. The lack of the cornice will also hasten mortar deterioration betwenn the bricks up there too.

Slumlords gonna object, but then they'll have to publicly face the fact that they are money grubbing swine in their lobbying efforts. Fighting the fire from the roof seems to be an often used tactic.

@@azul8811 You are telling me that it is impossible for smoke, heat and the products of combustion to go downwards in a stairwell? I'm thinking that, if the stairwell is not vented, open to the roof, (Don't they vent roofs precisely to clear that smoke and heat from the firefighting spaces?) it is going to reach saturation and all those products are going to push down into that bottom to top stairwell flue. The real issue is visibility and the level of compromise in the stairwell. If the stairwell is uncompromised, then it is usable as an attack platform, from the top or bottom. I don't know of any buildings that don't have a stairwell that can act as a chimney. You are telling me that having a stairwell door open the width of the hose is going to make matters impossible? So knock the windows out of the floors that are on fire and vent the floor that way, lessen the products of combustion reaching the stairwell. You are telling me that a hose dropped from a standpipe on the roof down a couple of stories is going to be slower than dragging a hose up 10+ stories? Your cellar analogy is spurious. An apartment cellar has no windows. Fire on a floor has windows that can vent the products of combustion. It depends on what stage the fire is at. If speed is utmost and the involvement is not crazy, then an attack from the roof is an option. Speed is why firefighting begins with red lights and sirens.

@@azul8811 From Wikipedia "Dry Standpipe" - Laying a firehose up a stairwell takes time, and this time is saved by having fixed hose outlets already in place. There is also a tendency for heavy wet hoses to slide downward when placed on an incline (such as the incline seen in a stairwell), whereas standpipes do not move. The use of standpipes keeps stairwells clear and is safer for exiting occupants. Standpipes go in a direct up and down direction rather than looping around the stairwell, greatly reducing the length and thus the loss of water pressure due to friction loss. Additionally, standpipes are rigid and do not kink, which can occur when a firehose is improperly laid on a stairwell.

God bless them all. You do a amazing job xx 😘
