Don't worry, it's just Donatello welding up the turtle bus..
looks like the Ninja Turtles found a new interagation technique
That sound is really something - amazing footage. Managed to catch a lot of the fire with that sound before NYPD & FDNY arrived. Great capturing the units too.
Thanks man :o)
Should push the hipsters into it
Bruni no
Gotta love the beauty and drama of a high-electric transformer freaking out and exploding. LOL
its just the pits of hell fam
great video! by italian firefighters channel
+VIGILI DEL FUOCO - FIREFIGHTERS thanks
love them siren sounds from the police cars🚔. some different new sounds 📣in there made it sound scifi. Awesome! !!!!
thanks for sharing.
👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP 👍👍👍👍👍
High1voltage1rules
thanks for watching :o)
I would put a slow motion camera next to it and drive over it at 80mph to see what the effect would be.
Water + electricity = great fireworks! It is the best idea to put HV transformers in such place.
Especially with only a grate to cover it - not a man-hole cover or something with no access to the elements. It's not like NYC is in the dessert. It actually rains pretty often here in New York.
This grate, I think, is used to provide adequate cooling of the transformers. But it also open the way for water and metal conductive foreign objects into substation compartment. These underground substations should have a drainage with water pump and automatic control, but these parts is often severely corroded and not working properly. The water level raised during rainy days and the result is on this video.
This happens often in Washington DC where I live. Rarely, if ever these underground faults are because of transformers. More commonly, these are caused by water seepage into faulty cable junctions. The arcing fault often fills the tunnels with gasses from burning insulation's that eventually explode with spectacular results, the bang often being heard for several blocks. Often, the grates upstream start smoking too, from the overheated cables. Big cities don't use reclosers and cutouts for fear of darkening city blocks. Hence these arcing faults can go on for over an hour before the fault is located at the plant and the power to it finally cut off.
Cable junction manholes in Saint-Petersburg, RU, where I live, have a heavy full metal cover, instead of grates. And all cables in it have sealed junction boxes, completely filled with special isolation hydrophobic compound-thermoplastic, water can`t enter in such box, even if it will be corroded, damaged or have loose fasteners on its ends. Some of this boxes are buried completely underground with no maintenance access for many years. Arc faults on these cables are very rare, some manholes may have completely water submerged cables and joints. But the transformers fires is taking place sometimes.
there are many cities that have transformers underground right under open grates like that. I think they even do in my small city. It's a common thing. It allows for airflow around the transformer; they tend to get quite hot.
looks like even though NYC has supposedly changed a lot in the last 20-30 years, one thing that hasn't changed is people being unfazed and courageous and just walkin' on like nothing was happening. LOL
i think you mean stupid not courageous
Had an electrical fire in a junction box just outside my house recently, it threw 15' sparks and sounded just like this one. Called the fire department, they send one truck. A single firefighter walked over to it, scratched his head a bit and went in search of the breaker. He found it in a minute and that was pretty much that.
This seems a bit excessive in comparison.
Amazing footage! Really enjoyed watching it
+TGG - Global Emergency Responses thanks ;o)
Just a couple of amps flowing in that arcing. I hope they had the meter turned off. ;)
I feel like this could be tackled with less units on scene.
You must know all there is to know about emergency dispatch and dealing with major incidents. Tell me more
It’s better safe than sorry, especially when many lives are at risk.
@@Hotdogenthusiast Lol you are definitely right. I wrote this comment a long time ago when I had 0 understanding of emergency response.
Whoa that sounds scary as fuck
I am curious why they rolled a tiller-ladder to this and 2 engines?
E54 / B57 / L6 / E74 / L106 / A285 / E65 / E33 / E 33 Purple K Unit (Bowery Boys)
captured911 where was truck 4 and battalion 9 at the time?
water fog does not conduct as much electricity as a straight stream so since almost every liquid conducts electricity the best answer is if you ever have to use spray bottle near an appliance always make sure it is a mist or adjusted to spray if it does pull a current it hopefully will not be fatal
Just curious, why does Engine 74 have The Lost World on it's front windshield, I know it's from the Jurrassic Park movie, but was just curious
They probably just really like Jurassic Park haha
They probably just really like Jurassic Park haha
+Carter Wale I also like how they have those STOP signs on the doors of the trucks, seems a little corny to have those on there like that but I guess they tend to leave their doors opened at times at calls and they want to make dang sure that no stupid driver takes off one of their doors....LOL
+Carter Wale That one other truck had a Chinese Dragon of some sorts on it's front Grill
Impressive sound it makes. Who would have thought the solution is to pour water on it?
Bad choice ^^ it took more than 1 1/2 hour. Part 2 will follow soon :)
more than likely it was distilled/demineralized water. Such water doesn't have the stuff in it that makes it conductive.
Shouldn't they have put foam on it instead of water. I'm no fire fighting expert... Just a question...
wonder how long it kept on raging away before it was shut off?
Seems like Mordor is preparing again.
This is why you put in fuses both up and downstream. Because expecting it to "burn open" when shorted or overloaded is not an option :)
Awesome catch.
That fire looked and sounded incredible. Scary.
thats the sound of the city's electricity arcing and burning whatever its touching, imagine if a person got zapped by that
4:39 a ladder for a underground fire... brilliant!
+Corey497 "Mr. Brilliant" Ladder co''s do a hell of a lot more than use the ladder, genius. underground or not.
Dude, ladder company does more than that....
I was thinking the same thing
Well, if you mount a grill at the tip of the ladder, and swing it out over the fire, you could roast some hot dogs.
sounds like electrical 🔥hell
;P
Wow, cool vid, thx.
JD Frühling Thank you ;o)
The classic sound of HV faults until the protection operates, look at one i was involved with, search for Holburn fire
Looks like an epic cashmere cat concert.
This looks Amazing ☇
Passersby: "Hmmm. Transformers. Heavy smoke. Electrical fire. Burning PCBs. Nah, no hazards here. Think I'll hang around and shoot some video with my cell phone. Let me see how close I can get. Wonder what the buzzing noise is? Probably killer bees or something."
" We've got a mad scientist down there."
Nice! video !
how the hell did this happen ?
why is this in the vehicles tab?!
Pride of Midtown!!!
Quite a sound!
i'm from germany and my english is not so good. Can any say me what happend there?
The underground electrical lines were shorting out/arc'ing
+Mayo Heffi Kurzschluss mit Lichtbogen! (Hochspannungskabel)
Sieht echt verrückt aus :). (Thats looking crazy )
+Mayo Heffi Kabelbrand von Hochspannungsleitungen.
Subway crew was having an underground BBQ party.
Great footage, I like it! :D
jeez being a police officer firefighter or pmedic in NY must be a headache
Spider-Man fighting Electro.
Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit - FDNY arriving units...
Donatello is doing his science thing, pay no mind! ;)
Sounds like a garage door opener
cool Star Wars!
whose idea was it to send a truck/tower to a underground transformer fire?
Oh blahdie oh blahdah life goes on. Very little phases we New Yorkers. Just don't interrupt my getting a latte and a bagel with a shmear!
there are fire fighters and then theres the best of the best the NYFD
People just don't seem to notice what is going on around them, these people are not expecting anything will go wrong or an explosion happens.
i am surpiesd that there is still power after that
it was just a minor fault. yes, It was a lot of electricity, but the power was still flowing and it probably was causing lights to flicker somewhere, at the most.
Outside the Hotel Edison, where else? LOL!
Wow! Amazing footage! Subcribed ^_^
+fabian gaspari Thanks :)
Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
^^
Which HV is used in NY(city supply voltage)
+Neuzahnstein en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consolidated_Edison#Electrical
thx
Neuzahnstein
np :o)
IS THAT THE 2 TWIN BUILDINGS IN THE BACK
everything is a operation in NY
What's Ladder 106 doing in Manhattan??
+Mike Hamilton Look how many replies you got.Now you can phone or e-mail FDNY and ask them.
+allcot I've seen you comment on a few vids lately, seems like you don't have any actual info so please stop saying "call FDNY" on every comment that has a reasonable question without an answer.
why is it under the road
Because you cant run aerial cables downtown NYC
Because it would look sort of silly floating in the middle of the street! Geez, some people!
Some people? In new zealand we dont have transformers underground. An i have never been to the states
+Abe Coulter We do have places that do have transformers underground here in NZ
+Hayden James ok. im in christchurch. never seen them underground
why would they put water on a electrical fire? seems dangerous to me
Wouldn't you get electrocuted? I pissed on a electric fence and let me tell you I will never do that again!!!
^ u should be on jackass
utility company kills the power to the area, nor current no shock
the power is still on or it still wouldn't be arcing. When they shut the power down it will go out
And Con-Edison was where?
Sooooooo........ they brought a ladder truck to an underground electrical fire
people just walking by or filming...crazy people. the world is going down
très bien les pompiers éteindre un feu électrique avec de l eau vous n avais d extincteur a mousse Dioxyde de carbone (CO2).
wow! 2000000 Volts burning and making strange noise
cook out any one?
ladder truck for a fire in a well???
wow that cop car sounds like the Allman Brothers
so many firefighters?
+Rene Schwab from all over manhattan :o)
yes, and a ladder? :-)
Rene Schwab
3 :-)
+Rene Schwab Its called Unions
What caused this?
Well, in the beginning, there was darkness. And God said, "Let there be light." And there was light, and the light was good...
short circuit
It could be a ground fault (caused between (broken) energized cable and the earth).
+Steve Rogers the turtles pizza oven blew a fuse lol 😄😄😄😄
BEST answer yet! ^_^
I am for sure no expert, but i am pretty sure they know what the hell they are doing.
If Tesla drivers only knew. 🤣
wouldn't want to accidentally fall down there
hello
yep spray water onto an electrical fire, NYFD nice job.
+johnniedehuff Ever think those gentleman in the blue helmets, one wearing a reflective vest, who are likely utilities workers shut the power off?
You put foam onto a Class C fire.
You're the real dumbass, please educate yourself before commenting dumb shit.
Wtf is this creepy ufo sounding police siren? it's kind of disgusting
How close some stupid people go... I doubt they know what it exactly is... I would run away... but I am smart and I won't die in a stupid way sometime like they will... 😂
flushing with whatever on electrical high voltage fire only in USA! plus who send fire truck with ladder to a
manhole :D?
They don't use water, they use chemical agents on electrical fires. Truck companies are sent in part to check for extension into nearby buildings. They're responsible for a lot more than just deploying their ladders.
There is no chemicals that you can put on high voltage. There is some for voltage below 1000V but in this is not our case because of arc power. Trust me i'm an electrician :D
This video quit being interesting after like the first minute and a half----the underground fire and sparks were the show, everything else after that was boring.
DAM
who woke Satan up?!
All I could think is, I am the great and powerful OZ.
:o)
that's pretty normal not.
Ads on the Fire trucks. A damn shame!!!
What ads?
+LIVEFRMNYC Those are nicknames they give the trucks and units
Zelinc Oh Okay, I thought that Lost World decal was an ad at first glance.
LIVEFRMNYC It still be the emblem from the movie, but it's definitely just a nickname on the truck
The hole of horror
THE LOST WORLD
Hey they found my arc gouger
Best concert ever
This city is so fucked.
War of the Worlds the Aliens are coming.
What are they thinking, underground electric fire. one, you don't put water on it, two, you don't need an over head ladder engine.
cool rmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
somebody anybody help The Ninja Turtles
Wht world?? The lost world.....WHAT!!?
americas finest police department:)
Anybody here because of Austin Powers?
woooo rooop
Wtf
Oh and it's raining lol....they voted for Hillary FYI 😉🇺🇸
