My heart goes out to those firefighters that tried so hard to save them. Been in that position and it is not pleasant. 5 year old on one, 2 year old on the second.
This is sad. You hear multiple 10-45's. You wonder if the building was up to code being a multiple story apt building. The fire escape holding victims until the ladder trucks are maintained in service. Not like in Boston where a woman and her godchild fell from the collapsing fire escape. The child survived due to landing on her godmother breaking her fall. The godmother died several hours later in a local hospital. May they all rest in peace.
What was a major contributing factor was the fire doors were not functioning properly due to the residents tampering with them. The doors for the apartments are supposed to close automatically on there own. The doors not closing caused the fire to spread quickly resulting in the tragic outcome. It has long been a problem. The buildings are inspected and then tampered with by residents almost immediately. For whatever reason except pure ignorance as the residents don’t want to have the door close behind them and get locked out if they go to see a neighbor or go in the hallway etc. Just take your keys because look at what you caused to happen. The fire was very small in the beginning and just took off.
PFC. EMMANUEL MENSAH a United States Army soldier living on the third floor ran back into the building after evacuating his family. He saved four others before succumbing to smoke on the fourth floor. (Name written in large caps for a reason). RIP 🇿🇦🙏
@@jlover911 Yes, sort of. With a scanner, you're getting information as it happens. With Broadcastify, there's about a 30 second or more delay. Not a total deal breaker. The skipping that you hear here is just a bad feed from whoever is providing it for whatever reason. I listen to the same frequencies on my scanner without any problems.
Wow so horrible my question is where was the parents of the 3 year old who was playing with the stove that caused this deadly fire ?? Smh praying for all affected by this horrific incident 🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@patm4850 Thats bullshit pat I raised 3 boys and had a gas stove , I removed the knobs off the stove and never had a stove fire or gas leak in there whole childhood
This fire sounds suspicious. The rapid spreading of the fire from the First Floor to the Fifth Floor which didn't give people a chance to get out. It looks like arson to me.
3 year old started it playing with burners. The mother didn't close the door when the fire started and just left. Fire travels up. In this case, we can't even blame the child here. The mother is at fault.
Mike Johnson it wasn’t towards you there was two comments in there about the use of the k in what content it was used ! One of the comments has been deleted now. North east- might as well be Canada no one knows what they do up there.
With fire proof materials they have now days, this is nonsense to have fires that would kill many people. I hear that the mother and her child got out in time. One thing the mother didn't do, is shut the door to the room where the fire stared. If she had just shut that door when she left, it would not have been a mojor catastrophe with twelve dead and many injuries. Maybe in the future, they should have it when people leave a residence, the doorwill shut automatically.
One more thing, a three year-old child was playing around the stove on the first story of the five story building where the fire started. Please, if you have a child, teach them not to play around stoves!
Alot of apartment buildings in NYC did but people would remove the mechanism that would shut the door because people would step out of there apartment to throw trash down the shoot or whatever and forget the door would slam shut and lock them out.
Austin B both are wrong. Battalions in charge until a deputy chief (division) gets there. Division chiefs are only assigned on 10-75s and above. They don't go to regular runs. Then if a staff chief arrives, they assume command over the division.
Found out this morning, one of the dead was a soldier home on leave who was rescuing people living there...RIP hero...
Heartbreaking, utterly heartbreaking.
Apt door where fire originated was left open, flames went up stairwell. Poor kids RIP.
God bless all those lost and their families RIP

I love the fdny
True professionals in midst of Chaos
Heartbreaking! What a shame! May they all rest in eternal peace!
Heart breaking.I'm at a loss for words.
This hurts to hear... 9 of them were kids... I’m sorry to the families... You’ll see them again, trust me... I know... 👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻🧖🏻♀️🧖♂️
It's chilling to hear this tragedy playing out.
Very tragic.
Good work
5th Alarm was transmitted for relief purposes

news said it was built in the early 1900s so it makes you wonder
The Boston incident was July 23, 1979. Not the current state of affairs in Boston.

Very broken up. I didn't hear a 4th or 5th alarm transmitted...
Def in the audio. Division 7 requested the greater alarms.

The skipping is annoying. One of the reasons I bought a scanner.
is the scanner better than the broadcastify app?

She was home NOT watching her kids.
come on I understand kids get into things no matter how close we watch them but I'm sorry no 3 year old should be nowhere near a stove smh

As sad as it is to say this, but I'm really really hoping it was an accident and not a criminal act.
No arson. Child playing with a burner started it.
Fire traveled up the stair well like a chimney.
3 year old started it playing with burners. The mother didn't close the door when the fire started and just left. Fire travels up. In this case, we can't even blame the child here. The mother is at fault.
I agree. sad either way.
My father was a ff in ladder 38 and engine 88 20.years
does he know Harry?
Is it only N.Y emergency personnel who sign off with kay? Im not very knowledgeable with this stuff
jman thegiantsfan
"KAY" is equal to "OVER."
That’s a negative to both of you k
Kay is an old telegraph post meaning a response is required. FDNY still uses K in the same way.
Mike Johnson it wasn’t towards you there was two comments in there about the use of the k in what content it was used ! One of the comments has been deleted now. North east- might as well be Canada no one knows what they do up there.

The building is not fire proof brick outer shell with wood framework..Plus years of paint...and all Furniture
Older buildings are not up to date sometimes
That was the issue Larry.....the building was NOT fireproof. A lot of buildings are not in a lot of cities.
Alot of apartment buildings in NYC did but people would remove the mechanism that would shut the door because people would step out of there apartment to throw trash down the shoot or whatever and forget the door would slam shut and lock them out.
Rescue 4 continue in. 3 4 5
Is the first chief battalion on scene the one responsible for the whole operations????
Juan Diaz The Division chief is the the chief of operations.
