@imdizzy2801 NP, after 30yrs as a Firefighter/ EMS Medical First Responder with my degree in Fire Science Engineering and Technology (Plus my CFI - Certified Fire Investigator), I had these thing pounded into my head starting in '81 and retirement in '11.
We had a manhole explosion near our home a team was checking an electrical room, opening the door when an explosion in the room blew the door off and killed a member. There is a plaque on the building dedicated to the member killed
This made me think about the transformer fire video, but seeing how the fire crews stayed back in this one made me nervous! The explosion made me scared for all of you there! Great video! I look forward to your videos! Stay safe and keep up the great work!
Thank you John for your patience and professionalism. I love watching your videos they are the best! Blessings to all FDNY and to you John, of course. Thank you again. ❤🚒❤
Hey J we used to go to those all the time. I could not watch when the Con-Ed Red truck crews would go down into those vaults. Not me. A few times the fire went through conduit and ended up in the cellars.
Good job as usual. Those blue flames scare the heck out of me because it's most likely electric. I lived in a real slum as a kid and the wires were partly cotton clothe and when we tried to do pullups over the doorway, we would get shocks and even at 120 V its scary-I have a healthy fear of voltage.
You caught it, JJ! Seems to me that ConED needs to be more responsive. There are so many important FDNY resources tied up waiting around to help solve a ConEd problem.
WELL, I AGREE BUT THE CITY HAS TONS OF THESE INCIDENTS EVERY SINGLE DAY KEEPING THEM AT CON ED 24/7 A YEAR LONG.....THEY DO GET WORK BUT HAVE TONS OF IT TO DO.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 , I was a Vol Firefighter upstate. In all seriousness I do think the power company should have some response units to get to calls. Especially accidents with wires on vehicles. Your video coverage is great. I was lucky enough to do ride alongs quite often in the Bronx. Be safe.
WELL, THEY HAVE TONS OF THESE INCIDENTS IN NEW YORK CITY ON A DAILY BASIS SO IT IS INDEED VERY HECTIC FOR THEM.....THEY ARE GOOD PEOPLE AND WORK VERY HARD TO FIX THE PROBLEMS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.....BUT, THANKS SO MUCH.....
Great catch John, first time seeing blue flames at a fire scene. That manhole was burning hot. Keep up the good work my friend and stay safe out there.
Dunno how it works in NY, but I've seen bus drivers get themselves in all sorts of trouble going off-route - getting stuck in a turn that's too sharp, hitting awnings, etc. One time, the driver realising he couldn't make a turn, decided to back up and reversed into a tree - a branch came in the back of the bus and flattened everyone sitting on the back seat!
Well I was watching and I asked here if ConEd emergency response units are allowed to run reds and such to get to FD emergencies faster. And withing 10 minutes JJ answers my question. (It was no, they aren't.) Great video as always, those blue flames are pretty darn cool and that big pop was impressive.
Con Ed should be authorized to respond with lights and siren to help them get there faster! Strange no protection device tripped on that circuit? Thanks for the coverage!
SEEMS LIKE THE WHOLE CITY OF NEW YORK IS UNDER SOME TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION.....LOTS OF NEW PROJECTS AND LOTS OF OLD REPAIR PROJECTS.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Same in Vancouver, BC. Developers from China are buying up all the heritage buildings and city hall makes money by getting them to tear down all the beautiful buildings and replace them with glass and concrete towers that have no character. But it makes the property tax take goes up.
It was my understanding that the ConEd vaults have a sump in them to eject the water out to a storm drain or street level - I've heard of the snow melt doing these in esp. with the salt - is there any other reasons they burn so often? Age?
I think there must be one guy, period, that goes out on calls. They always seem to be far, far away from where help is needed. Always! What does it actually burn down there that causes the black smoke? I think ConEd has a code for showing up that means when you feel like it.
In all reality it takes time to respond to emergencies. Their vehicles are not fire trucks with sirens. They have to observe all the rules of the road like you & I do. With traffic especially Manhattan it takes a long time to get there. They have 3 shifts of troubleshooters available to respond. However if they are already tied up with a previous call? They have to send the next available closest red wagon. Which might be in lower Manhattan?
sheesh how long did it take con-ed to show up... multiple FD units sprint out the door there in no time, scene secured... 20 minutes later con-ed strolls in... looking more fashionably late than anything... and btw, is it CONsolidated-EDison or COMMonwealth-EDison????????... i always get those two mixed up
this is going to become more and more common with the age of the infrastructure and the government in those areas not putting the money out to upgrade it yet they can give themself a big pay raise every year especially in large city's.
Con-Ed is the worst. It takes them way too long to respond to an emergency. You would think for the money that they charge for electric service to everyone they have somebody standing on every corner.
All that methane from the sewers can get a tad toxic and explosive. 😂😂 Just think, your farts are exploding all over the city. 😂 You were 'Johnny on the Spot' again, for this one.
Γειά χαρά παιδιά κάτι πήγε στραβά και έγινε βραχυκύκλωμα και εκρηξεις και φωτιά απο υπόγεια καλώδια ηλεκτρικού ρεύματος θα τεθεί υπό έλεγχο αργά ή γρήγορα η φωτιά 🔥 και θα γίνει διακοπή ρεύματος μέχρι να γίνει η επισκευή της βλάβης
Das sieht nach kabtlbrannt aus !!! Die blauen Flammen zeigen an welches Material dort gerade verbrennt. Ist wohl bei der Feuerwehr in Amerika nicht wirklich bekannt. Doof nur, das für den Bereich der Strom nicht angeschaltet wurde um die Brandausbreitung zu unterbinden. Hier in Deutschland, kann die Feuerwehr den Strom abschalten um solche Brände zu unterbinden. Meist wird der örtliche Stromversorger auch angerufen und kommt mit Blaulicht und schaltet den Strom ab. Privatwirtschaft in der (USA) VSA zeigen bei solchen Brände ihr hässliches Gesicht !!!!
Yes, we know what that is since it is an electrical fire... it is copper salts from the cables vaporizing in the heat of the fire. Cupric salts always make a flame go green-blue.
@@bobvidoni5898 Plastik brennt auch Blau bis grün, so ihr in Deutschland. Manche Gummiummantelung haben es auch. Nur richtig scheiße wenn so was brennt.
Great footage!
Blue Flames are indicative of burning copper. Different color flames come from different metals burning. Great vid J.J. thank you.
THAT IS CORRECT DIZZY AND OF COURSE THANKS SO MUCH.....
Actually Green flame indicates copper. Blue is high carbon burn at a very high degree.
@@SMichaelDeHart Thanks, correction noted. I'm getting old and sometimes I get things wrong.

When did you have a team member checking electrical room? And blew the door from Carol member when did this happen date month number of year?
There was 1000A 230/400V breaker failure at the pig farm I used to work at and the guy didn't make it out of the hospital._

"Electric 🔵 Flames"!! Really rich smoke to get copper flames! Chemistry Class in session 🎓!!! Hot 🌃 night!!! John stay cool Man! 2N2 👍👍👍
It’s lovely to see , we don’t have exploding manholes. It is like watching free fireworks
Thanks for videoing this for us .
GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE VIDEO AND OF COURSE THANKS SO MUCH.....
Wow the blue flames is so cool never seen blue flames until now
Copper wire arcing

Hey, "JJ", you don't know if you got it on "film" ??? You sure as HELL DID, good job!!! Explosion: just as you predicted !!! 😱😮😮 👍👍👍👍
YES, I SAW IT LATER! HEHEHE! AND YES I PREDICTED IT TOO DAIVID.....HAHAHA.....OF COURSE THANKS SO MUCH.....

Hey J we used to go to those all the time. I could not watch when the Con-Ed Red truck crews would go down into those vaults. Not me. A few times the fire went through conduit and ended up in the cellars.

Hello buddy... Nice video!... This happened on the corner of PI University and E 8th St, NY!... Kisses to NYC... Thanks!!!
Well that was a very nice little volcano thanks lol

YES INDEED KENNY AND OF COURSE THANKS SO MUCH.....
Electrifying coverage on this run, thanks! Heard a communication with 9 Truck at 4:05. E-33 L-9 Bowery "U"
Blue flames very usual - I think the source is copper wire melting/burning, as copper gives off a blue color when heated.
YES INDEED.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Explodes at 12:26-12:31 Great catch!
YES AND THANKS SO MUCH.....
Great catch John, first time seeing blue flames at a fire scene. That manhole was burning hot. Keep up the good work my friend and stay safe out there.
YES, IT WAS BURNING HOT AND BLUE FLAMES COME FROM COPPER WIRES BURNING IN THE MANHOLE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Love your videos ! I see a lot of city buses lined up on now blocked off streets, aren't they allowed to deviate from normal routes in these cases ?
I AM NOT SURE HOW THAT WORKS.....THIER SUPERVISORS MAKE THOSE DECISIONS.....THANKS SO MUCH.....

Can I ask a pretty open question? I am from the UK living in America. Is there a way to understand the processes required before tackling an incident?
Love your videos but I’m from west central Illinois. What is DET?

A street house in Union City, NJ caught on fire on the second floor. It happened when I was there. Dont know what the day was there.
i wish i had a dollar for every time I was on that corner. if it's still there can you pick me up a pizza from Stromboli?
HAHAHA! I AM NOT SURE IF IT IS STILL THERE BUT I WENT THERE A FEW TIMES TOO JOEY.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Con-Ed is the worst. It takes them way too long to respond to an emergency. You would think for the money that they charge for electric service to everyone they have somebody standing on every corner.
hey human shit burns like grand pops monster. seen his hot rod.
OK.
How get manhole Fire 🔥 Howwww!?
I associate blue flame with burning some type of gas, I do not know if that is true of electrical or manhole fires.
What it is costing the city with all these bus assets with zero to 2 people riding....ridiculous!!!
I HAVE NO IDEA BUT IT CAN'T BE GOOD.....;o( THANKS SO MUCH.....
Why can’t they shut these down remotely? Or hire more workers to go in and shut them down?
THAT WOULD BE A NIGHTMARE TO SET UP AND EXTREMELY COSTLY INDEED.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
I would think that the blue flames might mean that an electrical line is burning
All that methane from the sewers can get a tad toxic and explosive. 😂😂
Just think, your farts are exploding all over the city. 😂
You were 'Johnny on the Spot' again, for this one.
Did not get what was going on here, can someone explain?
what would foam do it. ??
IT MIGHT HELP BUT THEY ALWAYS WAIT FOR OFFICIAL DIRECTIONS FROM CON EDISON....THANKS SO MUCH.....
what's the difference between an engine and a squad?
12%
Yeah, I feel bad for these guys too, when they have to stand around in this heat all dressed up in their gear
Did there find out what case the blue flame j j ?
Burning copper
