In my city, your double parked car gets bulldozed out of the way by the fire truck and then you get the illegal parking ticket and bill for any damages to the fire truck. Double parking can easily cost you thousands of dollars. DON"T double park ever.
New York traffic is a mess. I have no idea how these fire trucks are able to navigate through. Then you add on idiot drivers who feel they are more important so they can’t move out of the way. Personally I feel if a car is blocking the way the fire department should be able to force cars off the road, put fire hoses through cars, etc, and it’s the car owner’s responsibility to pay for damages.
These guys are so much nicer than 25 years ago. Before then, it wasn’t uncommon for a tower truck to “initiate movement” of an offending vehicle whether there was a driver in it or not.
There's an easy fix for this. Every fire house should have a tow truck that follows them on calls. Vehicles in the way? Tow them. Blocking an emergency responder? Charge them triple to get the vehicle back from the tow yard. I don't know how much that is in New York, but here in Hawaii it'll cost you about $400. Triple that amount and it's $1,200.
@Rune Willem If you are legally parked you are not in the way. If you are in the way it is very unlikely you are legally parked. That being said, rigging a car for towing takes a *long* time. No matter what the cost to the owner, the cost of the people that might have no other chance of rescue than that fire truck is immensely higher. Don't park where you should not. It could very quickly become a matter of life or death, and that's just not worth it.
@Rune Willem Well your claiming that a car legally parked "has not done anything wrong" Which is true, But useless to the arugment. The only reason for you to make this claim is if you think the person in this video that double parked did so legally. Which they did not.

That is why they should get proper high pressure hose reels like we have here in Sweden, and like all north europe and i gues even south europe. Super efficient! And easy.

Driving a fire truck in NYC has got to be stressful, there's so much traffic you can't move in some places no matter how much you blow the horn and have the siren on.
Great footage. You should give this video to the transportation Department to show new ,and old drivers how not to park. If that was me driving that fire truck, I would have blasted the horn twice then put the bumper against the car and push it out of the way. Don't they have parking enforcement officers to stop people from double parking. Here you don't dare double park unless it's an emergency, as the fines are over $100. if your double parked or blocking blocking traffic.
I get it about the firetruck pushing the vehicle but the problem is it wouldn't work in this scenario. If they tried to push it, it will just end up going into one of the legally parked cars (unless the steering wheel was perfectly straight and car was aligned which is unlikely), which obviously will damage everything but then make the blocking car still block the road and become unmovable.
I saw a vid about a robot, long rectangular body, two big poles in front, pick up a car and pull it straight out. I think it said NYC is experimenting with these. Much faster than a tow truck.
They do push cars with the trucks. I've seen them break car windows because the car was blocking a fire pump. They literally ran the fire hose through the broken windows. FDNY are in a different league. Great guys!
Despite the fact the fire department was short handed and lacked enough equipment, the towering inferno of New York was extinguished before dinner time.

So we have 4 trucks 30 or so fighters for a fire that probably would have been sorted by a couple guys, a double extension ladder and a fire extinguisher. I know that it could have been a bigger fire but still.
could it be worthwhile investing in fire motorcycles? have a fire hose rolled up in one of the side bags basic first aid, a collection of hand tools and other small stuff in the other. fire extinguisher on top (or some other combination that fits your department's needs) respond with 2+ of these motorcycles, you could get to the location fast and get to work faster on simple issues, or prepare fire hydrants and closing the road for when the trucks arrive. Here in the Netherlands we are running a pilot program with firefighter motorcycles, and it seems very successful. we have 2 variants the first variant has: 25 liter (12.5 gallons) tank, a short hose, but has lots of tools, first aid an the like. The second variant has: 50 liters (13 gallons) of water/foam, with a 30 meter hose (98 feet) with a pretty decent spray distance. It carries less medical supplies, relying on our ambulance motorcycles to make up for that. These can just zoom through traffic, reducing response time, and reducing the cost of the simple calls that do not require a large fire truck and a lot of firemen.

What's the deal with FDNY going about with loose straps, open jackets, unfastened chinstraps, BA masks dangling? Are they more into posing and looking tough that appropriate use of equipment?
A friend worked for PG&E, they had a big job in San Francisco, signs for 2 blocks says NO Parking. They got there the next morning at 4;30 am to start to dig up the street, 20 cars were parked where says no parking. The SFPD call 20 tow trucks and towed them ALL away in 30 mins. At 7 AM people came out to go to work and there car is GONE !!!
What is the blue jug that says e-14 called officially? I like how it’s a drop to pickup the hose but is there an actual name for it, and is the rope fed through the jug and tied through the bottom so the rope is stored In the jug prior to deployment??
And what if the person has nothing but the damaged truck to sue for. Better yet what if the truck is illegally on road with fake plates and window stickers and driver is non citizen. It's NYC they just walk away. Many times I've towed away illegal vehicles from accident scenes no driver to be found.
Start running the houses over the cars and through the windows. They’ll stop double parking when it gets expensive. Those trucks got the push bumper. Do it to it.
1. Maybe start looking at getting smaller trucks. Turn your heads towards Sweden and other nordic//north europe countries. SMall, agile and Very potent trucks. 2. How about getting high pressure reels now. That old school hose dragging is just.... there is more modern stuff that solve a lot of the fire situations.
Keep in mind the fact the game was played on a regular schedule for a while after the first game was played in a hotel in London in October and November and then it went to the same place for two days and the next week it was on fire

I’m a retired firefighter when this would happen, we’d just push the car out of the way. We wouldn’t even give then the opportunity to move it, if they weren’t in it already. Others lives may be in jeopardy.I wouldn’t give a damn about a piece of metal in my way
@@63076topher it didn’t happen. There’s no way a city or county will allow that to happen and have to continuously pay out insurance Monies. Not only do you have to pay for their vehicle you have ti fix your equipment. Running code 3 traffic does not give you the right of way, you are asking for the right of way. So yes. This didn’t happen atleast not often. Maybe once or twice in his career.
To start there's the ladder,pump truck,resue/paramedic and depending on fire size a battalion cheif,and the equipment needs people to run this along with assistance for hose man or would you prefer to hear ooopsy I forgot to turn the hydrant on but I will be right back,yet it seems that there's no longer a need for a Dalmatian to watch the equipment.
Watching stuff like this makes me wonder if the people who park and/or don't move for emergency vehicles make the decisions for themselves on whether or not it's an emergency to them.
Can’t understand why people aren’t getting moved on away from the building. Some people just can’t think and just stand there instead of moving out of the area
I know each department has its own SOP's and preplanned response criteria but this seems a bit of overkill. They committed many assets, both rolling stock and manpower, which might have trouble getting untangled should there be another (higher priority) call. I was a volunteer firefighter / EMT and eventually a paid Fire Chief. I would have sent 1 - 2 men up a ground ladder with a booster (dumpster-trash) reel line and got water on fire much sooner. I would not have allowed civilians to walk under that awning when there was fire and fireground operations in the overhead.
Was this in a similar city? Both in size and in density? To me it make sense to have a more heavy response in a big, dense city. Both because of the probabilities of an incident quickly escalating, and due to the fact that a large city probably has way more assets available at any time, regardless of units on a call.
With the recent queens fire, and the loss of lives I'm proud of FDNY. I know assets are tough Chief, but you know things turn to shit.. The queens fire had over 200 ff there in 5 minutes. I'm so proud. Thank you FDNY
The girl posing with the fire truck and people laughing.. kinda shows how desentized people really are.. its like... potentially someone can be in real danger from fire... and you're posing .. like its no big deal..
Life goes on and sirens are always in the background in NYC. Kids always get excited about the trucks, the trucks are cool, and everyone loves firefighters.
I wonder if the tangle of flashing lights on the trucks would better serve the need for motorists to identify the trucks as unities and be able to quickly track their relative distance and movement if all the lights were coordinated to flash in phase (i.e. simultaneously and at the same rate) and with bi-lateral symmetry of flash color. Actually, I think I know it would be better. Flashes that appear 'stray' to observers make spatio-temporal 'sense-making' of the scene slow and ambiguous if not impossible.

So we have 4 trucks 30 or so fighters for a fire that probably would have been sorted by a couple guys, a double extension ladder and a fire extinguisher. I know that it could have been a bigger fire but still.
What?! No air support?!
could it be worthwhile investing in fire motorcycles?
have a fire hose rolled up in one of the side bags
basic first aid, a collection of hand tools and other small stuff in the other.
fire extinguisher on top (or some other combination that fits your department's needs)
respond with 2+ of these motorcycles, you could get to the location fast and get to work faster on simple issues, or prepare fire hydrants and closing the road for when the trucks arrive.
Here in the Netherlands we are running a pilot program with firefighter motorcycles, and it seems very successful.
we have 2 variants
the first variant has:
25 liter (12.5 gallons) tank, a short hose, but has lots of tools, first aid an the like.
The second variant has:
50 liters (13 gallons) of water/foam, with a 30 meter hose (98 feet) with a pretty decent spray distance.
It carries less medical supplies, relying on our ambulance motorcycles to make up for that.
These can just zoom through traffic, reducing response time, and reducing the cost of the simple calls that do not require a large fire truck and a lot of firemen.
Stay safe FDNY

0:28 my generation is nothing but pure narcissists. Obsessed with themselves 24/7.
Unfortunately, those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. America is in the midst of revisionists attempting to rewrite the Jan 6, 2021 insurrection to halt the formal electoral ballots formalizing election of the next president of the United States, basing their false ideologies with The Big Lie promoted by the previous president. There will always be ne're do wells raised with zero empathy until a personal tragedy occurs to bring them their comeuppance.
The babes in beginning of vid are different. Eventually though in 3 years their supreme leader will be ruler of America, Biden will fullfil what Obama and Hillary started, the surrender and handover. Chinamerica, accept your fate 🇨🇳
She's just enjoying life, she's not impeding the engine.
awesome catch
What's the deal with FDNY going about with loose straps, open jackets, unfastened chinstraps, BA masks dangling? Are they more into posing and looking tough that appropriate use of equipment?
A friend worked for PG&E, they had a big job in San Francisco, signs for 2 blocks says NO Parking.
They got there the next morning at 4;30 am to start to dig up the street, 20 cars were parked where
says no parking. The SFPD call 20 tow trucks and towed them ALL away in 30 mins.
At 7 AM people came out to go to work and there car is GONE !!!
4 trucks and 2 dozen firefighters for just a little smoke. What a waste of tax dollars. Typical NYC corruption I guess....
Man, in a big city (crowded building) electrical hazards is very dangerous
Brooklyn. It's not Hell, but you can see it from here!
Yea, it's called Flushing Queens 🤬
Nice catch
You guys need to have the restaurants be in the streets a little more. That way the entire street can be blocked and the city can burn.
xD
@@Jimmythefish577 no fault to the restaurants. But the politicians who are making these asinine rules need to be removed from office.
And you guys in Florida should better regulate building codes and inspections for high-rise condominiums.
That’s not very Catholic of you. 😂😂
@@azul8811 damn bro, let it breathe. :)
What was on fire?
What is the blue jug that says e-14 called officially? I like how it’s a drop to pickup the hose but is there an actual name for it, and is the rope fed through the jug and tied through the bottom so the rope is stored In the jug prior to deployment??
Use the engine to push the car out of the way then send a bill for any damages done to the truck.
And what if the person has nothing but the damaged truck to sue for. Better yet what if the truck is illegally on road with fake plates and window stickers and driver is non citizen. It's NYC they just walk away. Many times I've towed away illegal vehicles from accident scenes no driver to be found.
Damn, you guys have a HUGE bumper for a reason! Use it! Seconds count.
Start running the houses over the cars and through the windows. They’ll stop double parking when it gets expensive. Those trucks got the push bumper. Do it to it.
1. Maybe start looking at getting smaller trucks. Turn your heads towards Sweden and other nordic//north europe countries. SMall, agile and Very potent trucks.
2. How about getting high pressure reels now. That old school hose dragging is just.... there is more modern stuff that solve a lot of the fire situations.
1 MAYBE START LOOKING AT GETTING SMALLER TRUCKS TURN YOUR TOWARD SWEDEN AND OTHER NORDIC
My dad was the lieutenant in engine 14 right across the street from engine 14
Keep in mind the fact the game was played on a regular schedule for a while after the first game was played in a hotel in London in October and November and then it went to the same place for two days and the next week it was on fire

I know everyone has a roll as a FF, and there is a chain of command, but does the rookie climb the ladder the the old hands hang out until needed?
How many F/F's does it take for a ONE Engine with a 35' extension ladder and 5 gals of water call....?
Keeps the unions employed. but, but,but they heroes. Stop it, it's all about money.
I see you earned your promotion from Lt. to Captain Monday Morning Quarterback. Nice job! Thanks for the helpful observation!
@@upinthetrees Ah yes the unions are the problem… workers uniting together, yuck! The fire department should be like Walmart why would FFs ever need collective bargaining?? Or did you forget 1975 where the mayor overnight laid off 2,127 firemen?
@@ChathamFireDeptfan You are welcome. Most UNION Departments across the US make due with 3 man engine companies and a four man truck crew, going from call to call... Must be nice.
Do you know what call came in as ?
They ain't bullshiting with the firefights, damn thats a lot..pretty cool
Doubling parking is BS. In black neighborhoods especially people think it’s totally acceptable.
When does the outdoor seating go away?
Never seen an engine officer get out the truck to tell people to get the fuck out of the way
about time the ladder co's use actual fed q
I’m a retired firefighter when this would happen, we’d just push the car out of the way. We wouldn’t even give then the opportunity to move it, if they weren’t in it already. Others lives may be in jeopardy.I wouldn’t give a damn about a piece of metal in my way
I’ll take things that never happened for $500 Alex
@@justin2040 What makes you a expert? It did and should happen people should learn how to park LEGALLY.
@@63076topher it didn’t happen. There’s no way a city or county will allow that to happen and have to continuously pay out insurance Monies. Not only do you have to pay for their vehicle you have ti fix your equipment. Running code 3 traffic does not give you the right of way, you are asking for the right of way. So yes. This didn’t happen atleast not often. Maybe once or twice in his career.
@@justin2040 YES IT DOES. YOU MUST YIELD TO EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
@@63076topher AFTER they ask for the right of way.
What are the blocks of wood on their helmets for?
Okay, I'm just going to say it. How many firefighters, trucks, etc. and how long does it take to put out an obviously small fire?
To start there's the ladder,pump truck,resue/paramedic and depending on fire size a battalion cheif,and the equipment needs people to run this along with assistance for hose man or would you prefer to hear ooopsy I forgot to turn the hydrant on but I will be right back,yet it seems that there's no longer a need for a Dalmatian to watch the equipment.
It was the same amount of smoke as a cigarette that hasn't gone out yet.
Always a good day when the Squad pumps
That is such a recurring theme there
Put pushbars on emergency vehicles, that way they don't have to stop.
Watching stuff like this makes me wonder if the people who park and/or don't move for emergency vehicles make the decisions for themselves on whether or not it's an emergency to them.
In the UK a car can't go over a stop line (if the light is red) to allow an emergency vehicle through
Those girls 😊 they love firetrucks 🚒🚒🚒❤❤❤
Asian babes always with taking pictures to post on WeChat 🇨🇳
lol..ya might need more men and trucks to put out that inferno
You don't know what you have until you get there!
Some Firetrucks should have cattle catchers to encourage people to voluntary move.
Can’t understand why people aren’t getting moved on away from the building. Some people just can’t think and just stand there instead of moving out of the area
I know each department has its own SOP's and preplanned response criteria but this seems a bit of overkill. They committed many assets, both rolling stock and manpower, which might have trouble getting untangled should there be another (higher priority) call.
I was a volunteer firefighter / EMT and eventually a paid Fire Chief. I would have sent 1 - 2 men up a ground ladder with a booster (dumpster-trash) reel line and got water on fire much sooner. I would not have allowed civilians to walk under that awning when there was fire and fireground operations in the overhead.
Was this in a similar city? Both in size and in density? To me it make sense to have a more heavy response in a big, dense city. Both because of the probabilities of an incident quickly escalating, and due to the fact that a large city probably has way more assets available at any time, regardless of units on a call.
With the recent queens fire, and the loss of lives I'm proud of FDNY.
I know assets are tough Chief, but you know things turn to shit..
The queens fire had over 200 ff there in 5 minutes.
I'm so proud.
Thank you FDNY
The girl posing with the fire truck and people laughing.. kinda shows how desentized people really are.. its like... potentially someone can be in real danger from fire... and you're posing .. like its no big deal..
Life goes on and sirens are always in the background in NYC. Kids always get excited about the trucks, the trucks are cool, and everyone loves firefighters.
@@aliciaaltair i am 60 years old and have always been into law enforcement vehicles
I wonder if the tangle of flashing lights on the trucks would better serve the need for motorists to identify the trucks as unities and be able to quickly track their relative distance and movement if all the lights were coordinated to flash in phase (i.e. simultaneously and at the same rate) and with bi-lateral symmetry of flash color. Actually, I think I know it would be better. Flashes that appear 'stray' to observers make spatio-temporal 'sense-making' of the scene slow and ambiguous if not impossible.
Where are the double parked vehicles? Did they ticketed & towed?
I loved loved to see fireman in action! It's so thrilling! Epic!
Blue light so nice
