Appreciate volunteers but Thursday !!!!! Everybody back to FIRE School !!!!!!I watched and watched and watched for the Ladder Tower to get into position, and cannot figure out what in the world they are trying to do up there. Are they trying to vent the roof and draw the fire to the UNBURNT side of the structure. And if that tower moves that slow get it fixed, or a different bucket man. Too much running around in panic laying hoses in the beginning somebody is going to get hurt. Who ever was directing the monitor from 85 did a good job of putting out the smoke and getting the attack "C" crews wet.
I just don't get the breaking out windows when you can simply open them, some departments are so destructive and do so much Unnecessary damage way over and above the fire damage, what in the hell ever happened to salvage and overhaul? We were doing it 20 years ago? I think it shows a lack of training and professionalism, if you are inside and you have things go bad and have flash over conditions or need to Then you break windows, not in these circumstances here its plain stupid!
Joining Up, Dressing Up and Showing does not a good worker make. A strong Work Ethic is what You bring to a job, it isn't Given to you as part of your uniform.
Because of central air most people never open their windows. In a building that age there may me 3 or 4 coats of paint completely sealing the windows closed. If you want your windows opened make sure they work.
@Undisputed Blackjack I was a firefighter and that's why you see departments on the roof cutting holes that's ventilation, heat raises, it's to relieve heat, gases and smoke from the interior, a fire needs 3 things 1 heat 2 fuel and 3 air when you take away one of the three it is extinguished, to open up windows like most STUPID departments do ,especially in the front of the structure when bvb the fire isn't in that part of the house is in warranted damage and if it's in a room that's involved with fire it's like throwing a bucket of gas on the fire it's adding fuel so to speak! I hate to see departments with nice equipment and apparatus doing very unwarranted and unnecessary damage especially when it doesn't help the job they are there for it's as STUPID as a football player showing up at a football game with a fishing rod and then casting onto the field? Also shows the lack of training and professionalism? The cost of damages from the fire is astonishing but if you add in the damage from the fire department you might be very surprised, also most departments have cameras for looking into walls for heat and fire they are very costly but it is used to keep from tearing out walls and damaging property unnecessarily!
@Undisputed Blackjack also you are correct, a good department will investigate, checking a owner's background, bank accounts, mortgage payment information and insurance coverage limits, weather they are behind on house payments, or have upped coverage on the insurance policy or have foreclosure taking place, any of this is a red flag so to speak! Again the fire service is like the police departments, it only takes one BAD officer and you have the public's respect for police officers into the toilet, same with the fire service but it seems like there are more bad untrained departments on UA-cam than not ? And I know There's a lot of good professional firefighters that shake their heads at a lot of these videos that are on here !
It’s required by law that all firemen must break windows, safety factor to expedite escape, release gas, and the boy/girl in every firefighter. He he he he
Absolutely no need to take those windows on floor below. Along with no reason for the the second deck gun. Not impressed at all. Thank god the Hudson River is right there. They are wasting so much water. Maybe that’s why they took the windows. Fear of being drowned to death by the unnecessary master streams going into a fire that would’ve taken one 1 3/4 line to put out.
I wasn't there, as the expression goes...not defending or picking on any member...if it were easy, everyone would be a fire fighter... Lot's of listens for everyone here, I hope the FD views all the video....
to the pretend wanna be's who will never ride a fire engine a day in their lives......um, uh... be quiet. And no, none of the critics that commented here so far are firefighters. So don't bother replying about you fake fire service experience (I'm ignoring replies anyway). Your words don't count as fire suppression tools.
Michael Patanella WAAAAAAAAA. Guess this is your company. Don’t worry pal. I know a few guys in this Dept and they aren’t impressed either. Hopefully they learn from this.

This fire was in Sleepyhollow not Tarrytown
Thomas Sanzo Thank you, title changed.
I was in Tarrytown at home and I saw smoke and I saw this on snapchat

Sorry for the people that lived in the building. Love to see the deck guns putting the hurt on the fire.
Too bad the Deck Gun operators Missed the burning material! Just Squirting water doesn't count!

another person who speaks with such a skill, it makes us wonder why you're not commissioner of the FDNY.
I wasn't there, as the expression goes...not defending or picking on any member...if it were easy, everyone would be a fire fighter...
Lot's of listens for everyone here, I hope the FD views all the video....
Wood burns, brick doesn't simple !
It can still be extremely dangerous
