Dispatch: "Chief what's the situation there?"
Chief: "Well, there's not a single square inch of this giant building that ISN'T on fire. How's everything with you?"
That's the statement of the century haha
The wind is driving that fire with so much force that if it wasnt for the firefighters and other people walking around you would think the footage was time lapsed.
Wow this fire made it to the papers BEFORE the news got wind of it!
good 1 😉👌
Lmao
😁
Wazinger!!

CLEVER!!!
I've driven past this factory more times than I can count in my 25 years as a trucker, it broke my heart driving past what was left of this iconic building yesterday afternoon.
What was the warehouse and what city please?
"Dispatch, we are gonna need a LOT of water."
I was one of the Help Desk administrators there. I was leaving work as it started from a small fire. Tried VPNing into the network to get access the cameras over there, the DVR got burned unfortunately preventing me from accessing the cameras in the storage facility where it started. Sucks i had lost my job after being there for only a month. Hell I even lived right up the street too making a half mile commute there and back home everyday.
Sorry to Hear That Man
Hopefully you'll be able to recover from this loss quickly
Well if you work for their help desk it's a shame you did not go down with the building.
Wow 😮 I miss passing by every single day on my way to work I had family who used to work there years ago ! It’s horrible what happened that was one of true land marks for people knowing they were close to home .
So so so sorry tha you lost your job 🙏🏼 you will find something else I know it’s hard but keep strong focused and positive !
It wasn't 6 degrees outside within 2 blocks of that fire
WhereMyChicken lol
😂😂😭😭😭
This is one of the most intense videos I've ever seen. It makes me think of the accounts of firebombings in WWII and how terrifying it must have been.
You really have to respect firefighters. It takes great bravery.
The addition of the radio communications makes this an outstanding video. Thank you.
This is the kind of fire you have to just let burn
They did
"Surround and drown"
That’s exactly what they did
You don't make an interior attack on a volcano.
I'd want every ladder and stick truck in a 50 mile radius.
This isn’t a fire, it’s a living beast..Sadly all you can do is pull back and let it burn itself out..Thanks to the brave first responders on that cold miserable night
“Honey, what time is it?”
“10 : 35pm sweetheart, why?”
“Cause I still see the sun...”
Let me look hon....
Oh shit,that's the marcal complex!😱
@@mikegallant811 l like that one ha ha.
You know a fire is amazing when even the fire fighters wanna get some video of it !!!!!!
There isn't much else they can do,with fire behavior like this...you just stay safe and hit the exposures.
Those aren't firefighters. They're fire buffs wearing gear.
@@xXTR4IRSOF7 no they're FireFighter,there's absolutely nothin that Engine And Ladder Crew can do at that assignment they're at.Likely to be awaiting assignments,everything that they can save is on the other side of the road anyway.Protect yourself,Exposures(lives and or Property) and Apparatus.
Nick Edwards Actually they 100% are buffs because I follow one of them on Instagram. And yes there is stuff they can do there, such as protecting the exposures. If a firefighter is going to respond lights and sirens just to get on scene and take videos he should’ve stayed in bed. Thankfully those aren’t firefighters taking the videos because that would be extremely unprofessional.
@@xXTR4IRSOF7 some firefighters on a heavy fire like that...ie: rit team.. do take vids.
As soon as I pulled up I’d be calling a 5th alarm lol
Try General Alarm!
They should have given him back his stapler.
tonkashouse best comment hands down
LMAO... Yup you win the internet 2day for sure.
And saved some cake for him too!
liquid tv...
Yeah I'm going to need you to go ahead and come in tomorrow with those tps reports.
This is a once in your career job, never seen conditions like this, well played by the FD, much respect from a UK AFF brother
It’s been over a year since I watched this amazing video of the destruction of not just buildings but of lives. No longer a gathering place for friends to share happy times, job promotions, goals of the company met and/or exceeded, and special event celebrations. Oh, sure, the bricks and mortar can be replaced but the memories will be with us for a lifetime. The firefighters did an amazing job under terrible conditions with an unstoppable monster. I hope that the fireman heard over the intercom yelling about the 16 degree freezing weather finally got warm. Thanks especially to Jeff for exceptional videos.
I bet the water just evaporated before it reached thecbuilding
I worked on the elevators in that place many nights. I'm surprised it didn't burn down sooner!!!!
why ?
@@tp899 i am guessing no fire sprinklers + a mill filled with paper
No sprinklers? Grandfathered in I assume?
@@HappyQuailsLC you probably right
@@HappyQuailsLC It was probably up to code for 1916 tho.
I've been a city fireman for 25 years and i've never seen anything like this before. This is nuts
Are you aware of the effects of the oxidized aluminum upon these unprecedented fires?
Are you aware of the effects of the oxidized aluminum upon these unprecedented fires?
@@HappyQuailsLC No not really. Tell me more
Remember these guys are volunteers, great dedication shown here.
Even if you are a volunteer, you should be able to prevent a massive water spill from a fire truck, like at 12:28 ?
"Hey honey, yeah I probably won't be home for breakfast. Ah shit, make that lunch and dinner as well"
Cook it over the fire.
Overpriced houses will be built here in a few years.
Isn't that what the owner planned.
Definitely good for apartment complexes. Where I live, apartments are 1,000 to 3,000 a month and insane.
That nobody will buy.
Absolutely dumb shit like this is allowed. Couple little loopholes and you definitely did it but too late to charge or admittance/suddenly switched stories obviousness is insignificant evidence.
Why even follow laws anymore? You literally can buy your way out of anything too. How? Why? Why? Why?

Obvious that they were totally defensive on this one, prevent spread, but the building is GONE. Having to protect their own equipment speaks volumes about how the have to fight this one. The smoke itself is igniting, this is a HOT wind pumped fire, I would not expect them to do more than contain the mess.
This looks like a burner on a gas stove. The flames just shooting out every window with such force is incredible.
fire creates wind. weird.
jet stove effect .. bbq rotisserie 😁🤘
I can sense and feel the angst in the IC commander in trying to figure out where to start tactically with this conflagration of a fire! This fire was not going to be stopped short of consuming its own fuel load. Keep firefighters at a safe operating distance and remain in a defensive posture! Sucker has a few decades if not a century of fire load drying out and accumulation of dust and material particle breakdown! Allen (retired) fire captain.
Allen Portman Hey, Allen Portman! You rock! Thanks for your years of service. I'm thinking that the fire brigade had to set up a defensive perimetre and keep the fire from spreading outside the premises.
That makes sense all around. If it's "historic", there's no telling much unused or recycled paper is stored in that place. Built in the 19th century I guess?... Just let it burn. No saving anymore than what the costs of cleanup will be.
Don't forget the countless explosions inside structure.
😊🤘
I would have prevented spread down wind, and attacked upwind going down.
Third Alarm? I was a volunteer firefighter in Monmouth County back in 1999 and 2000 when I was a teenager. I remember Thanksgiving night in 2000 when a barn caught fire at Showplace Farms and quickly became fully involved. The Fire Chief went right to a General Alarm shortly after arriving on scene. That was a camp fire with a bunch of Boy Scouts roasting weenies compared to this monster fire.
Great video. @11:07 you can see the big roof top sign collapse into the building with the roof. God Speed to those working this fire in such awful conditions.
Did you mean @ 7:11 ?
This reminds me of the Ebor Mill fire here in the UK in 2011 😪
Heartbreaking for me whenever I see them burn like this 😣 I've always loved old mill buildings and I lived in a converted one for years... 🏭
This looks like literal hell, scariest fire I’ve ever seen hands down. If anyone was still inside they would never be found.
you got that right man scary
I worked in that building..100 feet from were they say the fire started
.My honest opinion.. Somebody started the fire purposely..we have safety meeting every month at least twice a month.. every fire I witnessed there was sparked by a machine or forklift .. were they say the fire started there are no machines no cameras .and mostly 3000 pound tissue rolls ..that's stored there until needed ...how this happened is strange
Luckily it was my day off .now that I think about it we had a safety huddle that morning before I left...
Baby Goats 83.
Thanks for the insight. I wonder was the company beginning to have declining sales? The insurance may be the cause and affect. This was the case of the 83 fire at Arlington Park Race Track Grandstands. I was there, the fire burned from West to East at 6:30 am. That morning there was a steady wind blowing East to West... Things that make you wanna go hmmm???
From the ashes, they build the mega-complex Arlington International Racecourse.
Fires can be profitable to some, while simultaneously devasting to others.
Makes you wonder? Then makes you wanna cry...
As a former Firefighter/EMT, I can tell you that there are certain addresses you NEVER want to hear spoken over Dispatch. #1 is your own home address. For the Elmwood Park Bunch, this has to be a close #2 on the list. My number two was the local pallet factory; One 150'-300' steel building sitting in front of 3 acres of old pallets, stacked 20' high.... Annnnd it burned... and is now the SECOND largest fire I've ever seen.
The collapse at 12:00 reminded me of the famous WW2 painting “The Falling Wall”.
I feel bad for all the factory workers that probably just lost their jobs. :(
@Nobody Nonperson haaaaaaa!! Dunder mifflin in scranton too
Oliver COCplayer great so now nature is in this now? Trees. Out of all the fires and WILDFIRES a paper mill makes you feel bad for trees. Welcome to Jersey where we don’t know what trees look like
Oliver COCplayer which is also natural
Probably? I'm thinking no doubt!
Marcal makes their products from recycled paper, but still, it was a waste.@@01i_gaming13
This is just sad to me. I loved seeing this building on my way to PA from NY. When I headed out that way early Feb. I saw a huge brick building, well what was left, had burned down and I was hoping it wasn't the Marcal building and sadly it was. :( It's just weird how a building can have such an impact, even on passers by. I'm glad no one was hurt.
In Florida, back in the 1920's, a lot of buildings were built with kiln-fired Georgia red clay. A fire would burn the flammable material, but only strengthen the walls. I know from experience.
To: Jeffstang Five Photography, My neighbor across the street is a firemen & said he was there with his Fire Department & it was very Cold that night! He told everyone in his local church that this was one fire that they could not put out, he's been a firemen since 1978 when he was 18 years old. He said they alway's win the battle when they put fire's out, some put there lives on the line & he hates it when one or a few men don't come home to there loved one's ? But he stated that this fire one the fight & they lost, Part of the roof caved in he was on & was badly injured and recovered from Cooper Hospital, he's still a firefighter and will retire in 2021? When ever I see him driving or walking to work, I thank him for his service of being a fighter & I also say the same thing to our men & women in uniform and I can't leave the Police Officers too? Some people hate them and some say hi, then make a run for it for no apparent reason?
Jeff Stang is a legend in the BUFF game!
Thanks :)
you have the best video footage of this fire so far
Upgraded to 3rd alarm lol. There ain’t no alarm for that
Jeff, first thank you so much for taking the risk to get this on video. incredibly unkind conditions for the firefighters and for yourself. as always Jeff wonderful coverage thank you!
Where do you even begin on that job
Upwind out of the collapse zone.
Calling for a 2nd right away.
Try and save nearby structures I would think. Once it's at this stage trying to put it out is pointless.
@@stevenkelly9731 more like, "strike all the alarms. All of them."
Surrounded and drown and protect nearby property for exposures that's all u can do
This was one of the most intense, if not the *MOST* intense fire i ever seen...wow!!!
Dude check out LA construction site fire.
That's probably the biggest fire I've ever seen
New window glass, a fresh coat of paint, and that building will look as good as new.
Wow apparently paper is very flammable lol.....
Yes and lots of chemicals too
@Safety First ha ha yes i was being sarcastic also the chemicals used to make paper are very flamable
Drew, yeah right? Who'd have ever thunked it...
I had done contractor work in those buildings over many years. It is amazing that they lasted that long. A single matchstick would be enough to burn them all to the ground.
Wood floors and millions of pounds of paper.
Inferno seems a bit of an understatement for this fire, hell must look like this.
I Saw Satan's face thru flames.
My all my that's got to be the biggest fire I've ever seen on all of u tube.
Wow! I had ordered a case of TP from Marcal for the office. Now I know why Amazon contacted me over the weekend to cancel the order. That is quite a fire.
You didn't order shit and nobody contacted you!! We have other factories
stefan w well,,,they wouldn’t have shit had they received the TP. That’s what it was for, wiping.🧻🧻🧻🧻
Uncontrollable 🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
Great work catching this nightmare.
You had to scream at it to assert dominance over it.
Your trying to find the seat of the fire? It’s fully involved - just put the wet stuff on the red stuff.
like that's gonna do a lot of good it took 12 hours to put this terror out
Jeff you should make this into a video, add the conferernce afterwards, and your iconinc statement, "marcal paper on fire" , ask for a tour and then show that here and edit for a DVD, and sell it with copywright! :) I just ordered paper towels online because i can't find any in stock for a store that needs them all the time, My Butcher organic meat!
This looks as terrifying as an oil refinery fire. That's quite a violent intense conflagration. It almost generates it's own weather like an oil refinery fire.
Heard someone say about the sprinkler system had broken pipes. Even if it worked, it wouldn't have done anything. The system or systems are probably as old as the building, and probably haven't been modified to handle the hazard.
Watching this video reminds me of the records center fire in St. Louis in the 70's. Alot of military files went up in smoke. You could see it for several miles.
i stumbled across youre channel and you have a new subby :) i love the good stereo sound of youre video picture perfect and the best of all no comenting or talking just some good stereo sound to here the sounds of the fire fire engine and the stuff thats goweing on the keep it up like this!! i love youtre channel im gunna put you in my fav !
Let it burn, let it burn let it burn.
The weather outside is frightful.
The fire inside is delightful.
Now thats a fire fire!!!
That wind is insane, the flamrs goes horizontaly! Whooo
I figured I'd see several master streams and elevated master streams going. Instead the ladder just parked...sort of went into service...then drove away.
They moved that ladder to another location on fire?
building was beyond saving as you see right near the end where it just collapsed no way were any of the fire fighters prepared to put themselves at risk knowing this papermill wasn't going to stand even if they put water on it it would have collaped onto them thru the sudden temperature change in the bricks along with water pressure which is why they did nothing they went onto stopping the fire from spreading to neighbouring properties while this one burned to the ground
just one of those fires where you sit back and watch. the perfect storm
I can't imagine the heat 🔥 coming from that. Melt your cam. I can't imagine how many hours it took to put that out!
Yes it was!
Look like London in the blitz
That's exactly what I thought.
Depends what London you're talkin about
@@jonathanpoirot1022 London England
6:14 "What's my best way to bringing lines inside?"...BAH HA HA!!!
Let’s stop insurance scammers just warning landlords and tenants not to sign anything with the next restoration company soliciting at a fire scene, they should go directly with their insurance company (STOP THE SCAMMERS)
I dont know anything about firefighting but i would guess that the best way to do this is let it burn and just try to keep it contained as much as possible. The way that thing was collapsing i definitely would not want to go anywhere near it
Surround and drown!
Very scary event. This video will go down in history. You don’t witness a fire like that very often; thankfully. As cold as it was you must have kept warm.by the fire.
This is one of those fires you just can't put out. Just gotta let it burn and try to prevent it spreading to nearby structures. Spraying water on it is like drizzling water over a huge bonfire
You sir, have the best video on UA-cam now.
in 6* My cold ass would stand right where you at and get cozy lmaoo
lol :)
Now thats wall to wall and tree top tall
THATS A BIG FIRE!
Building is a loss, fire is extremely violent. Despite that these firefighters did awesome work to try contain it in one area. Factory like this has extremely flammable chemicals was the fuel then water was being added. Great job guys you guys did great
The only thing missing was a card table and a deck of cards... I didn't see one firefighter walk fast, and seen as many as 14 keeping warm standing in one place... lol.... wish I'd been there to watch it burn too!
Very sad to see. Looking at Google Maps street view you can still see the building before fire destroyed it - located at River Dr. and Market St. For an older industrial complex, it appears to have been well maintained judging by the exterior.
at this point, water is no use. let it collapse and then go forward.
they still needed to protect other business and homes in the area. It's a fairly condensed area.
That is good because they had big water problems.
Absolutely! See if you can find a firewall that hasn't been penetrated by fire and protect exposures monitor flying brands and let the rest go!
Protect exposures and let it burn itself mostly out
As a colleague, its now a case to try to protect surrounding properties.
Yes! I failed to say "great" videography of this fire!
Now that's. One hell of a vicious fire specially wind driven unbelievable conditions nothing much you can do other than surround and drowned well try your best with the wind.... anyhow
Yeah there isn't nothin else to do,watch your self and exposures...get water on it how ever you can.
Every deck gun and master stream you can muster, put it on the...uhh..looks like the B side, upwind side, have the wind draw the water through the building on the air the fire is sucking in.
That wind is incredible. I'm surprised that they weren't spraying water on it, though.
Poor cats in this factory . I hope they did the "Great Escape ".
i can feel the heat trought my screen
that hose is like pissing on a forest fire, lol.
Wow, that's an inferno! Nice captured.
Looks like Notre Dame
That’s intense. This should have been more than 1 alarm on the box. I would say a 5 alarm
as a long time resident of Elmwood Park, I can only think of ALL the emergency service personnel having to work in this sub-zero wind and temperature, as I was once a member of the E.P.V.A.C. - Sad for Marcal & Elmwood Park.
That’s one big fire , paper wow , god bless the firefighters
That's the offices burning now
Synch up the radio with the video. 1708 was the first time out.
Looks like that video of that apartment building under construction, burned in high winds, there was nothing the firefighters could do.
Like trying to extinguish a giant blow torch.
Please also add a short description in text form. So that one can read what the video will be about. Some context, you know?
Thanks
Strong Incredibles vibes
Eek! Those big rooftop vintage neon letters spelling MARCAL ...so sad!
I'm sure the firefighters were concerned about that big neon sign coming down.
Omg I listen to the scanner all night long from where I live and look on Google map and knowing these guy was going to have a vary long night and day with this fire...
I drove past when the big main building collapsed
This is a fire all the King's men can't put out!
I am always very sorry for any historical landmark that goes up in flames! Just remember the Notre Dame fire, and I just stumbled across a report about a fire that destroyed a barn in the 1000 years old Monastery in Leiningen / Lower Saxony in Germany. For with every historical landmark gone, you have a missing part in your history.
Sad to see the end of a landmark building, but time does march on.
