Team work that’s what We are about in this Nation......Great job....and Thank you for your service

Video shows there are the following Fire Departments (FD): - New York City Fire Department (FDNY) - Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department (LCFD) - Inwood Fire Department (IFD) - Meadowmere Park Fire Department (MPFD) - Woodmere Fire Department (WFD). I don't know which others ones there are (based on the video), but something tells me there might have been more Fire Departments down there.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for the fire fighters.

Hats off at everyone who has chosen to become a firefighter! One of the most hazardous jobs on Earth, see 6:30!

explosions always seem to leave destruction, prayers for the displaced families and the member.....Scott

And well done by both department nice work guys keep it up 🧑‍🚒🚒🇺🇸

Meadowmere Park is kind of an island in Jamaica bay just south of JFK airport. It is somewhat isolated , there is only one road that accesses it which is off of Rockaway Blvd. Although it is in Nassau County it sits more in Queens. The road in is in Nassau but the island has a footbridge that connects with Queens.

I am no firefighter but never saw a fire with so much destruction. I come from a town that had full and part time fighters with 2 ladder trucks, 2 engines and 2 tankers. We also work close with our neighbors to the east and west. When the bar I worked and lived at went up it involved our complete fire hall and our neighbors in Kingsville. If you want to see it search V.I. fire Leamington. I am the big bald guy. It amazes me how volunteers work together with other companies to save property. I may not be a firefighter but I do support all they do. If I ask a question please remember that while my ass is in a chair I cannot do what you guys do. The question comes from wanting to know not from being a jerk thinking he knows shit from Shine All.

The stream was shooting through the collapsed portion of the roof near the exterior wall of division 2 from what I presume was a mud room. As for the firefighters manning hoses without SCBA these firefighters are not in heavy smoke nor even light smoke.

What is going on? Guys on the roof and others actively fighting fire in the smoke and fumes and NOBODY is on air. Breathing all those toxic fumes. I don't know any supervisor that wouldn't tell every one of those guys to get the hell off his fire ground if they can't do the basics.

@@rj4590 Oh please. Read the story of the three pigs, there's a message in it. You talk about a brick built house with wood and plastic inside would burn, as opposed to what? a wooden tinderbox where all your wood and plastic burns, meaning everything, house and contents. And gas explosions are rare, anyway gas explosions do happen in properties erected from wood as they would in homes erected from bricks and mortar, so that rules out that theory you made. And the speed of the fire spreading from wooden structures is ten times faster than brick homes. Look at any video of firefighters fighting fires in America when called out to properties on fire that are made from wood, there's practically nothing left to save by the time they arrive on the scene. And you are far more likely to die in a house fire in a wooden structure than a brick structure for obvious reasons. All homes in my country have to by law have fire resistant materials embedded into the walls and roof of the property. Clearly this is not the case in America.

It is all about costs. Concrete and masonry is very expensive in terms of materials and labor compared to wood frame. Bricklaying is expensive. A couple of framers can have a house frame up in 2 or 3 days, depending in size. That is what is driving it. In Europe and Asia all the trees have been cut down and wood is extremely expensive and in most of Asia labor is extremely cheap, so it is better in terms of costs to build in concrete and masonry. Timber construction in, say, SE Asia, is approximately 54 times (more or less depending on country) more expensive than concrete post-and-beam with brick infill, so they don't build in wood, except the very rich because timber construction is a show-off thing.
