Rescue battalion responding from the rock on Randalls Island to 159 St & Broadway for a construction worker who fell at a site. Squad 41, Rescue 3, Batt 16, Engine 84 and Ladder 34 was on the assignment also. Thats just from listening to the radio. Multiple callers and addresses the first 5 minutes was them trying to figure out the corrected address. Apparently the guy fell on the Exposure 3 side of the building.
Tekky Wolf FDNY protocol, roll the rescue assignment just in case, and they can be cancelled if not needed. Better to roll them with the original assignment, then waste time waiting for them to arrive some minutes later.
@sharkey500 A battalion chief oversees a certain area of the city, 55 in total including rescue battalion. Each battalion has trucks, engine, and maybe a squad within their area. Rescues have their own battalion chief shown above, who by the way is an amazing driver! FDNY is broken down from the city, to divisions, to battalions, and finally individual apparatus. Hope this helps. Godspeed.
If I ever need refresher course in defensive driving, I would like to have the driver of this vehicle for that. People anymore don't heed the sound of a siren, that stupid school bus could have caused these guy's to crash. I was born in Brooklyn, and moved to Calif., in 1969, work related move, and I retired to SW Iowa. People here in the Farm Lands are very respectful of Fire & Police, to let them by. Very good video, Thank you for sharing it!
@Raptor05121 lol that's why our station has it's own traffic lights which they can switch red when they leave the station. And by the time we can get through the whole city and turn on the siren just for a few moments, if we have to switch them on at all
I just happen to meet Chief Hayde this past week. Very Humble guy. It's funny because I saw this Video months ago. And Now meet him before I knew who he was .
@frontline88888888 They started at "The Rock". It's the FDNY's training facility and Fire Academy. Some of those apparatus belonged to Training. Some could have been companies on the island to train. Special Operations Command "SOC", is located on this island.
i knew NYC had alot of traffic, but i didn't think it was that bad, and some of the drivers e idiots, like if u see fire command coming get the hell out of the way, some of the cars speed up, i feel sorry for the fdny, nypd etc. because they have to fight through this traffic to save some ones life, good vid
Monrovia1, rescue 1 only covers manhattan from the southern most point to 125th st. Rescue 3 covers 125th st all the way north. Same thing as rescue 5 is the 1st due rescue into south Brooklyn and rescue 2 has north Brooklyn
Rescue 2 also comes into The Bronx occasionally depending on what’s going on, they’ve already done it twice. Almost 23 years ago Rescue 1 responded to Queens to assist Rescue 4 for a major manhole explosion. It would be very unlikely but it could happen if Rescue 1 went beyond 125th Street up to The Bronx for a major emergency that called all 5 rescues. Rescue 3 also responds into Midtown and Lower Manhattan at times depending if Rescue 1 requests another rescue out and they can’t get ahold of Rescue 2 they will call Rescue 3. In the late winter of 1991 all 5 rescues were called to a major emergency call in Midtown Manhattan this fire was under control within a few hours calling Rescues 2 through 5 to go 10-8 and Rescue 1 will handle the rest. Kevin Shea Junior (son of Kevin Shea Senior) was wanting to follow in his father and grandfather’s footsteps by becoming a fireman in the FDNY and it would’ve definitely run in his family for sure
WOW, NYC 2006! It was interesting to see them pass by my grandma’s house and 125th street, which was a few blocks from my house. but this was 6 years before I was born…
that video shows really masterful driving skill getting thru the traffic in a major city good to see most other drivers do pull over pity tho we dont see what the callout is about love the secondary siren
There needs to be a new law everywhere and heavily enforced. Failure to yield to emergency vehicles results in a $2000 fine! No fucking warnings. People need to learn how to drive!
The ringing is the MDT with a message or status update. The text on the backside of the car are the names of FF's lost on 9/11 of that company. In this case the SOC.
i used to work for a pvt company in the bronx, one day coming out of base i was given batteries and told that dispatch will instruct me what to do with them. an als unit had forgotten to check if their batteries where charged and i had to go lights and sirens from base all the way to roosevelt isl...i made it there before the als unit so we had to meet them at bellevue and i made it there before them lol....i wish i taped that drive
Amazing how the crash test dummies as other drivers don't do the right thing when an emergency vehicle is approaching, or they even pass the emer-vehicle as though they are too important to yield. Good driving by the battalion chief's chauffeur.
This was about 4 months after the Hudson river aircraft landing of US Airways Flight 1549 bound from Laguardia airport and lost its right side engine due to canadian geese flying next to flight 1549 which captain sully sullenburger noticed the flock of geese flying next to his aircraft and he landed in the hudson river to prevent a fatal wreck in the street so that there would be no explosion and everyone survives, luckily for everyone on board they survived the water crash of flight 1549, but a number of passengers suffered from hypothermia because of the freezing cold temperatures of the water in the hudson as they were being evacuated and others didn’t suffer from hypothermia, the temperature was 19 degrees outside and temperature of the water was 41 degrees, it was a brutally cold day that morning and it was the worst day for flying somewhere
To answer a couple of q's ....The call was for a person trapped at a conscruction site, the ringing from the mdt at 1:36 was the run coming up on the screen and the ringing each time after that was for each unit going 10-84, the special operations chiefs tend to monitor pd sod to keep a heads up on incidents as the dispatchers often have a tough time getting new information
Every so often I hear what sounds like a telephone ringing, I have even heard that on TV before on some of these COPS shows, what eccatley is that by chance, and at the beginning of the video when we were walking to the truck, saw a lot of writing on the rear side window of the truck but couldn't make it out what it said. Great video, there are always so much fun to watch..Thanks...
FEMA/USFA/DHS has asked both the police and fire services to move to plain language radio transmissions. FDNY has 10-75 while Chicago has 2-11 and Detroit says "it's on fire". Tradition and habit is hard to change.
Dude u guys r awesome driving skills I used 2 be a volunteer firefighter in a small rural town called Williams Oregon in southern Oregon and we only had 2 lane roads with barely any shoulders 4 ppl 2; pull over and stop so they just had 2 stop in front of us and their was certain areas we had 2 reduce code 3 code 2 even on double yellow lines we had 2 just go around them after making sure on- coming traffic was clear
@e346s Actually this was only the battalion chief responding in his car. He's only a commander who's stationed at FDNY HQ in Queens. The fire rescue trucks have a response time of only a couple minutes; they are much closer.
Thanks for the tour of the Big Apple! I would have still been looking at the map two days from now! I never did see old man Higgen's Barn or Mrs.Lula's goats.
@renaultandme Just to let you know you may be fast but the FDNY has been tested and it is the fact the FDNY is most highly trained, expert fire department in the world.
Very cool, feels like you're right with them on a ride along. The truck drivers (well, most of them) deserve some kudos from their professional driving given their tight situation. Sometimes I get the feeling the New Yorkers just don't care about their fellow citizens. Perhaps I am wrong, but from what I see there is a rather callous attitude to emergency vehicles.
I’ve recently been to NYC - it’s a great place to visit. You don’t need a car. The Subway gets you around most places and you can actually use cabs / Uber’s outside of peak traffic hours. And the people were no different to any other major Western city.
man, in the description it says "ride along". there isn't written anywhere that it shows pictures of the scene...so if you think you wasted your time it's your own fault.
I notice that most people switch over to a different lane but continue to roll along in that lane. Here in LA, most people pull over and come to a complete stop. Maybe because the streets are a little less crowded here.
apply, with chief, or the lowest ranking one that can say yes probably, you also need to go through a bunch of stuff too, but fdny is known for being pretty good with ridealongs
God Bless the FDNY! On this day, Saturday September 11, 2010, we remember the 343 brave firefighters who gave it all so others may live 9 years ago. Heroes live forever! NEVER FORGET!
@TREYBELL Nope. It was a Male that feel from a something. E84 L34 R3 SQD41 R3 BC16 and Rescue Battalion are on this. Some EMS units, and probably even more FDNY units.
@garlic287 diagree. i left on a call this afternoon in my brush truck. drove out of the station lights and siren and sat at the driveway waiting to merge onto the main road FOR FOURTY-FIVE SECONDS waiting for traffic!
It's the signal for new information being displayed on the computer screen for the batt. chief...It rings when another truck is being assigned to the box and also any other pertinent information that he will need to know before he rolls up to the box
cause here in my department the Hawaii County Fire Department, theres only 2 ops battalion chiefs. one east and one west. then theres one auxillary battalion chief, 1 ems chief, and one special ops chief. the only ones dat sees action is the ops battalion chiefs. the other rest are 40 hour chiefs. and the ops chiefs are 24 hour. but sometimes they dont receive any calls per 24 hour shift. so its a really good job. and wit only 150 men under ur command. easy
@LtColWarren...Each state has different laws governing emergency vehicles. In Indiana an emergency vehicle DOES HAVE the right of way and may proceed thru red lights if done safely and with due regard.
No I'm not being sarcastic cherubivid. I've listened to the FDNY scanner online so each buro has their own dispatcher & frequency. There are WORSE dispatchers out there & where I am we have some that are hard to understand.
Interesting video! Amazed at what appears to be an impossible blockage clears rather well. Glad seat-belts are used. You? Phaser is a less effective, ridiculous sound. Often I straddle lanes 1 and 2. Vehicles in lane 1 move left closer to the median. (They can see left better.) Lane 2 vehicles move right but often are afraid to move much right. When passing vehicles in my lane 1, I get all the way out into opposing lane 1 so that oncoming vehicles understand and move.
Who were all the names on the rear side windows of the cargo compartment of the Rescue Battalion? I'm sure they were on the 9/11 Memorial, which I actually visited.
@LtColWarren Here in NJ and in NY it is madatory that vehicles yield the right of way no matter the circumstance. You hear the siren you move. Now even with that said you are supposed to come to a complete stop, but by even doing that you can't stop all accidents. The better thing is to use your brain and make sure the intersection is clear and there is nowhere that you could get in a bind i.e. large vehicles blocking your view on a multi lane road. Also in the city speeds are at a minimum.
@jrab2 Every time a new message comes across the mdt screen that's the "ring tone". I'm not sure if they can select differnt tones but it must be pretty popular because I hear it all the time in police cars here in CT. I remember the first time I've heard it while listening to the scanner quite a few years ago and it took me awhile to figure out what it was. I think I finally figured it out while watching an episode of "cops" lol.

waste of resources !
BadenCityFire How is that a waste of resources. It's just the SOP.
why ? one or two rigs are enough !
how can he get threw all that triffic with out cussing somebody out hahahaha that was great driving
Great driveing In that city
Almost 15 years ago. Awesome video! Proper FDNY style.
The best part was when the school bus pulled out in front of u guys

That's not the chief driving tho lol
@@michaelpatanellaWell yeah, but the aid drives the chief to the box at all times other states the chief drives his unit to the box
the truck drivers on the bridge deserve a big thanks, the box truck practically kissed the k-rail for fuck sake and he still pulled over
I will never drive around there damn props to those who do it
Even the school buses break the law and don't yield to emergency vehicles.
I hope this was reported!!!

Great vid. I like how it showed the time from getting the call to actually arriving. 5 stars.
MAN! You gotta love New York City Man! My hats off to you guys and I complain because of all the traffic here on these country roads. LOL!!!
I just happen to meet Chief Hayde this past week. Very Humble guy. It's funny because I saw this Video months ago. And Now meet him before I knew who he was .
amazing, love how people respect emergency vehicles in the USA
Do you still have that same opinion?
my last 17 years on the dept, I was FF/Eng, I respect you guys so much, that's one of the most stressful jobs out there, be safe all....
Hey bro u still alive?
@@bassooll69 hopefully he is
Fantastic, all that and no swearing, how does the driver stay so calm.....
i felt like i was in NY again i only get to visit once a year and I loved this video!!! I LOVE NY
thanx guys ,I'm getting off here!
@frontline88888888 They started at "The Rock". It's the FDNY's training facility and Fire Academy. Some of those apparatus belonged to Training. Some could have been companies on the island to train. Special Operations Command "SOC", is located on this island.

TheMonkeyFarted that should be every where
I agree. But honestly, it'd be unenforceable in NYC

The Rescue Battalion is a Battalion Chief unit not a company that’s usually for the bigger rigs
Love the stupid driver of the school bus at 9;25 professional driver I suppose.
that was some great driving!!

What a big traffic !! Nice Vid ...
lol holy crap was wondering why things were starting to look famuliar lol i used to live on that block where they pulled up at the end :)

It appears as though it's information coming across the MDC(computer).
Haha that place in the beggining they are driving at especially at 2:18 when they are goin up the bridge is a part in GTA i remember.
@ouroxmysox
That phone ringing is when they have an update on their MDT's alerting the crew that there is more information available.

He's a special unit. I think he had a great response time for someone going so far.
good response time and i thought it was a safe one two good g\job
I wish I could drive like that...I'd undoubtadely have my license by now. Lol. XD

There is absolutely no way I would ever live or even visit NYC. What a mess of people and traffic. I don't know how anyone ever gets anywhere.
I know right... People dont even give a shi* when someone are responding
It would be fine if you lived downtown. How does anyone get anywhere? Well the vast majority of people in Manhattan don't own a car.
I’ve recently been to NYC - it’s a great place to visit. You don’t need a car. The Subway gets you around most places and you can actually use cabs / Uber’s outside of peak traffic hours. And the people were no different to any other major Western city.
Nice Video. :)
Did you notice all those Lincoln Town Cars? ^^
Schönes Video, toller Kanal und Webseite
That is so nice of them to let you ride A long
Awsome driving!!!! You should be commended for it.

running code isn't all about speed. Safety comes first. and plus its a heavy diesel, they do not accelerate all that quickly.
