      I'd say the opposite is true - it's one of the most difficult cities to be a fire fighter - thanks to the FDNY it looks so seem less and simple - but that's because of their efforts and efficiency.
      Since NY is so crowded, high buildings, old buildings, etc. this very tough job becomes a lot more dangerous.
      Perhaps all these factors make FDNY the best fire fighters on the planet - would you agree?

      Appreciate the info. My hometown only has 2 Ladder Companies and 4 Engine Companies with two more Engines as Auxiliary. I'm not sure we have a third Ladder Company as Auxiliary as well...
      Most of our backup comes from the neighboring fire departments in the surrounding townships.
      Also, I figured some of those sirens I heard were the FDNY EMS Bureau's response as well with the Major Emergency Response Vehicle (MERV), it's partner Logistical Support Unit (LSU) vehicle, and several of their ambulances along with those from participating hospitals like St. Luke's-Roosevelt and New York Presbyterian.

      I think this was more than a full first alarm (4 engines, 2 ladders, battalion chief and Rescue-if it was Manhatten, most likely Rescue1), plus special calls for additional rigs like a mask service unit, EMS and a division chief. Yeah, I may live in Nebraska, but I've always been an admirer of the FDNY ever since I read "Report from Engine Co. 82". I grieved when they lost so many on 9-11-01.

I'd like to apologise on behalf of us women who trust the firefighters to do their job and don't stand there flapping our gums about the techniques involved. Also, living in a tiny Scottish village in the arse-end of nowhere means I've not seen a fire like this before. The smoke alone was terrifying enough and I am in awe of all firefighters who risk their lives to save others. I'm an emergency responder and so is my husband, but we aren't firefighters - no way josé lol! Those dudes are bad ass!

  • @dustinmharris

    My understanding from a member of FDNY who responded to the fire was that it was likely an electrical fire. I cannot speak to the potential drug abuse of the family involved but a neighbor at the scene told me the residents ran the store below the fire. He also mentioned that they had been in the neighborhood at that location for a long time. It must have been tragic to lose both their home and to suffer extensive damage to their store in the same fire.

      Most departments are governed by other agencies or have their own Standard Operating Procedures that prohibit how they attack a fire. As a volunteer for three and a half years I will say that when ever I got on the scene and reports were made that people were still in the building, you couldn't get masked up fast enough to get in that building before some one took your spot.

If you took someone from any other department and put them in a FDNY uniform, that person would be no different. Have a mediocre person get on the FDNY department and they will not Instantly turn into a Super Hero.

    @gmcbuses A garden hose is not going to do crap on a structure fire. Period. There's not enough gpm's to overcome the heat, and you can't get any penetration to the seat of the fire. The fire is spreading horizontally and vertically as well. Not to mention your likely to be smacked in the head by burning debris. A garden hose on anything bigger that a small dumpster is pointless.

    Never. Flowing the hose through the window is a bad idea, when we open the hose up, water comes out, but it also pushes air out. If we put it through the window, we are not only feeding the fire, but pushing it through the building rather than stopping it. We need to go inside and push it out the window, instead.

    @gmcbuses I must disagree, if you shoot water into an opening thats venting, you push heat and fire back on to the victims and hinder any interior attack. Its good that the window is venting because the color of the smoke indicates the fire is starving for oxygen, notice how the smoke lights off when the air fuel mixture gets right. Let it vent, attack with a 21/2 from the hall door and push it out the window. The truck co. should be above checking for extension or victims.

    What you saw in the beggining is how turbulant that smoke is the thinkness of it the volume and speed and then flames rollin out. Thats called flashover everything in a room reaches the ignintion temp and catches fire. Thats why smoke changed and also the flames began comin out faster
