I only stay no more then the 7th floor. This is the usual limit the FD ladder trucks with a 100 foot 'stick' can reach. I drove a ladder truck, 'hook n ladder' type for 20 years.
Tower 1 is typically used for alarms greater than the first due assignment (1st alarm) or when an aerial task force is requested for surround and drown
It's not a ladder and there's only one of them in Toronto, so don't expect to see it in a video of the first arriving pumpers. Also, I hate to break it to you, but your tower one, despite being very cool, isn't the most special truck in the world. There are several equivalents in Germany alone, so I doubt you guys have the only one of that height in N.A.
I was living in a 4 story 24 apartment building, and I was living at the second story. The neighbor under me changed all the round fuses from 15 amp to 20 amp, so he could load more shits on his power bar. In the middle of the night, the electrical wire in his wall under my bedroom was so hot it catches on fire, and I love everything because of this stupid guy, and waking up in the middle of the night with all that smoke in my apartment was a nightmare. It was a good thing that I was living at the second floor, it was easy to escape. I will never ever live in a high rise building, for the reason you evoked.
@@clackmannan Would have spent more time trying to get it setup than it took the interior crews to get a knockdown, no point. Despite being 12 stories up, this is still just a room and contents fire.

There new tower truck can reach 22 stories high.
@@randallranger8865 I Was just Questioning why they didn't bring it in but then Saw, Lol
@@Lynbin-VlogsSaw what?
@@saladbreath607 saw Why they didn't bring in Tower 1
@@Lynbin-Vlogsthis happened before Tower 1 was purchased!
Somebody decided to BBQ on the balcony and then all hell broke loose!
The one time $3 million Tower One is needed, and it's a no-show.
Actually, $5.4 mill. 😊
It's an apartment fire, no real need for aerial ops in this type of situation.

Didn’t they extinguish the fire from the interior?
@@azul8811 yes, that is typically how apartment fires are handled since "compartmentalization" is used and honestly its just dumb to use a ladder.
great catch. Gave you a like and have been subscribed for awhile. Enjoy your vids!!
first rule of highrise firefighting... the fire is NEVER, EVER, EVER on the 1st floor
Was someone charging an E-bike battery?
That smoke is pure black. Got to be some rubber type of material burning
I lived in a 22 story high rise on the 12th floor. Never again!
Care to explain why ?
@@ronkali5365 Ariel ladders only go ten floors.
@@fredhinck9685 TFS has a 230' aerial that can reach ~22 stories.
Doesn't Toronto have the tallest reaching ladder in all of North America? I saw a video on it. I didn't see here.
yes they do

This was only a first due assignment fire (1st alarm) so dont expect it to respond
No Bronto Skylift tower truck in Toronto??
The scary part about living in a high rise, there are probably a few one in a thousand stupid people living in the building.

Great Job Brothers. Way to get on it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice save fellas!
Great job fellas.
Bottles, hi rise packs, spanners, and balls! Let’s go!
Anyone notice the rescue type truck parked right on the hydrant?
Air Light?
these buiildings have spriklers?
Usually not.
Looked like a balcony fire, probably a bbq, no?
if they're built to modern spec's they're not needed
that apartment uses mircom voice ecav system
Amazing video. Great focus, shot in landscape mode and no shots of your shoes when things get crazy. Level 9000
I disagree.
You had a choice, but no, you continued and then complain. What does that make you?
@@darb4091 You make no sense.
I thought Toronto had some 40m & 70m meter trucks that could go higher than the normal 100 foot/10th floor limit?
@Levi-in8eq but they decided not to use them here?

@@Nervegas Thank god for common sense.
Better to have it show up in a supporting role than sit idly as a $3 million paperweight.
You could limit how much you turn the camera back and forth.
