- HERE YOU WILL SEE THE FDNY OPERATING AT MULTIPLE MANHOLE FIRES ON EAST 45TH STREET IN THE MURRAY HILL AREA OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK CITY.
Yes the eerie part of these electrical vault fires is when the "arcing" causes building lights to flicker, about 25 years ago I seen one where the lights of a entire square block of 10+ story buildings start to flicker.
YES, IT IS EERIE INDEED! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Very nice! I saw that same crew of E65 last year on St Paddys day, Last time i went, Hopefully i be back next year St Paddy day. This year just sucks ;)
SUPER COOL INDEED DAVE! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Did you notice the lights flicker in the building when the cables arc?
A COUPLE OF TIMES.....
I watch alot of Fire Rescue channels and this one has the best Narrative in certain details about the incident. I enjoy learning how other departments work
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE KIND WORDS AND SUPPORT.....
always something in NYC, be safe stay stay safe John.....Scott
YES, ALWAYS INDEED.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Thank you
YOUR WELCOME! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Great video, thank you so much!
THANKS SO MUCH.....
John, I used to work at ConEd in Da Bronx. Manhole fires are caused by a combination of conditions. Road salt applied to roads in the winter never washes out of manholes or vaults. Then add months of corrosive action combined with heat & electrical load. The cables are closely bound together & everything is electrically connected in a network. As soon as one set of cables fail? Others near by fail.
The splicers in the red wagons are their troubleshooters (#9). They handle all faults in the underground system. Most often they will fill the structure with water to smother the fire & cool the cables.
That guy with the clean hardhat & new traffic vest on the phone is a stupidvisor. He only directs crews of where to work? Most everyone already knows that though but they need to feel important. Feeders are only turned off at substations. However everything is tied together in a network. So, another feeder will pick up more load.
YES, THAT IS ALL VERY CORRECT! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL THE GREAT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION JOHN.....
Another great one John! You're the best !!!
THANKS SO MUCH TOMM.....
Good job filming. Lots of manhole fires.
THANKS SO MUCH.....
Great coverage! Thanks Brother!
THANKS SO MUCH.....
I remember well.. these situations a d subway track fires... usually breaks on the subway cars pop too.
Ever on a subway train with a grounded shoebeam? That can be pretty scary.
YES, THE IS CORRECT INDEED! THANKS SO MUCH.....
The underground electric utility workers biggest fear is a small crack in a line. Get close and its a bad day for your family
YES, I HAVE HEARD! THANKS SO MUCH.....
right in front of a Toyota too :(
OK.
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 Sorry I am a huge fan of Toyota and an owner of a Toyota
FDNY dispatcher: Squad 99 please respond and video multiple manholes on fire to be downloaded on UA-cam.
Squad 99: Squad 99 10-4 responding to multiple manholes on fire. KMG 365. Out.
JJ you and Skylar stay cool, dry, and safe. I'm enjoying you twos videos especially the viewing of the new fire trucks and satellite truck. Of course your videos and Skylar vids are both Oscar winning videos. Y'all keep them coming.
Just for reference, KMG 365 is Los Angeles County.
@@comment2009 yeah I know I'm make JJ laugh
HAHA! ONCE AGAIN VERY FUNNY JOSEPH! ALSO, WE ARE GLAD YOU ENJOY OUR VIDEOS AND CHANNELS! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HUMOR, KIND WORDS AND SUPPORT ALWAYS JOSEPH.....
HAHA ! HE WAS KIDDING.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Absolutely last thing you want to do is put water on an electrical fire! So the best thing is to monitor until it burns out or power is cut.
CORRECT AND THANKS SO MUCH.....
Well, since these men and woman must know what their doing after all these years. I trust their judgement.
7:40 "You're catching this, right?"
YUP.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
What number was the Battalion Chief and his name?
IDK
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 do you know how to find out?
So I’m a bit confused. I don’t live in a big city so I don’t get it. What causes a manhole to catch fire, much less multiple manholes? And they are exploding and popping! What is going on?
In the winter, it is usually road salt contamination. In the summer, it is likely an overload of one or more of the distribution cables due to air conditioning usage. Main purpose of FDNY is to stand by until power company can cut off the service.
There are power cables down there that run for miles to feed buildings
Thank you for asking that question! I was wondering the same thing. So, all the power lines are underground then?
Electric and telecommunications equipment can catch fire. Natural gas leaks that gather in the confined space. Natural flammable gases from sewage such as methane. Illegal dumping of flammable materials. And these are all connected, so having multiple locations have fire or explosion is basically like having your house catch fire, and it spreading to each different room.
Thank you so much for the awesome explanation!
Yeah... Those underground primary cables can be problematic, specially on hot days. Lot of times the cables are damaged in winter from the road salt then they crap out in the summer under rhe heat and high loads.
YES, THEY CAN BE VERY BAD INDEED! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Good clip
THX.
Looks bad thank for footage good stuff.
YUP.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
I'm glad you cleared that up about the manholes during summertime. I was going to ask you if they act up like this when the grounds have met an excessive level of natural heat from the sun and pavement as an insulator.
YEAH, YOUR WELCOME AND THANKS SO MUCH.....
Yeah... Its a combination of heat buildup due to the hot weather and primarily due to the cable getting very hot under the high electrical load from rhe heavy air xonditioner use. Very often the cables rhat blow out have been damaged previously, often from road salt water corrosion from all rhw road salt suring the winter.
hi to you nice catch tonight stay safe up by you guys
THANKS SO MUCH.....
Thats cool you can listen as your driving. How did you become so involved with the FDNY?
IT IS A LONG STORY DAVE BUT THE JUST OF IT IS THAT I LIVED IN FRONT OF FIRE HOUSES MY WHOLE LIFE.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 have they offered you a public affairs job yet?
Sounds like a dragon walking in a tunnel 7:21
YES, IT DOES INDEED! THANKS SO MUCH.....
i know how dangerous this is and the firefighters are risking their lives, but im trying to find a good punchline to go with a manhole fire. manholes go to sewers right? lol
OK. HAHA......
Hey John 'where da RAC ?? ' --- Debbie & Tiffany
HAHA! THERE DA RAC AT......THANKS SO MUCH.....
So creepy! Please stay safe always!
OK. THX.
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 You're welcome JJ!
08:08 Holy Moly, that Sound.Thx for the Vid.
YUP.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
Buenas noches a todos, me preguntó muchas veces, porque no se sacan los vehículos del lugar.
QUE VEHICULOS.....
Better call Ghostbusters
HAHA! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Hey John, is that a fog nozzle on that 2 1/2? Didn’t know FDNY owned any dog nozzles!
I THINK SO BU AM NOT SURE.....SORRY.....
What r thoughts in the new fdny light bars I personally really like them they look so much better than the old ones the modern rotators and led light bars mixed they look so good
I LIKE THEM TOO JACK! THANKS SO MUCH.....
is there any online feeds/streams for the FDNY scanner your listening to? thanks
ON THE IPHONE IT IS CALLED "SCANNER" APP.....
Why aren't the fire personal wearing masks. I thought it was mandatory for all New Yorkers.
IDK.....
What causes the fires in the manholes? In Aus the manholes only transport stormwater.
In Manhattan the electric cables are housed below ground in transformer vaults (not on poles like the other boroughs). In hot weather they are liable to overload due to high demand for air conditioning etc, and in the winter salt from snow clearance gets washed into them and corrodes the wiring which then reacts with water. Plus a lot of the infrastructure is very old!
THE EXTREME HEAT IN THE SUMMER AND THE SALTY WATER RUNOFF IN THE WINTER CAUSE REACTIONS WITH THE WIRING IN THE MANHOLES AND CAUSE THEM TO ERUPT IN SMOKE AND MANY TIMES FLAMES WITH VERY DANGEROUS CO READINGS AS WELL.....
I hope the fumes are not toxic. I know it smells bad and I wonder on long term effects of breathing this stuff in. I hope the power wasn't out for too long as people there really need their AC. Thanks John.
Esme Esme all smoke is toxic and carcinogenic. Even smoke from your bbq. This is a problem for firefighters around the world, because even though they may be exposed to less toxic smoke, and in small amounts at a time, they’re exposed many times throughout their careers. Plus add in the contamination of their equipment. Recently there’s better decontamination routines, and firefighter are being issued multiple sets of gear so they can go out in clean gear, while the stuff from a previous call is being decontaminated, but it will only slow down the health effect, not eliminate them.
YOUR WELCOME AND THEY SMELLED PRETTY BAD AND TOXIC.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
THAT IS VERY WELL SAID AND CORRECT.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
the sounds of natives are restless down there ... devil wants to come out and play.... 1 man hole cover goes up can be diedly
YES, I HEAR YA! HAHA! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Fire in the Hole.
YUP.....
Puff the magic alligator who lived in the New York City sewers smoking them sewers up. And burning the power lines making a mess causing streets to back up and people out of their homes and businesses.
HAHA! VERY FUNNY JOSEPH.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
For the amount of time CE spends responding to stuff like this; they should almost train and allow a few to respond Code 3.
GOOD IDEA INDEED! THANKS SO MUCH.....
When you're outdoors, and distanced from other people, there is no need to wear masks.
Yet, I see most New Yorkers wearing them. I have to wonder if people, no matter where they live, realize that after four hours, a mask has to be sanitized, or disposed of.
I am sure some of the people are carrying spares on them, but, you do have to give them credit, they are wearing masks, despite of the distance.
WELL, ONE MUST BE CAREFUL DURING THESE DIFFICULT MOMENTS IN TIME......THANKS SO MUCH.....
THAT IS CORRECT.....THANKS SO MUCH.....
I’m not familiar with manhole fires. What exactly is the cause and what the hell Is burning down there?
THE EXTREME HEAT IN THE SUMMER AND THE SALTY WATER RUNOFF IN THE WINTER CAUSE REACTIONS WITH THE WIRING IN THE MANHOLES AND CAUSE THEM TO ERUPT IN SMOKE AND MANY TIMES FLAMES WITH VERY DANGEROUS CO READINGS AS WELL.....
That was snap, crackle and pop! Lol " they always act up when con ed comes!" Stay awesome as always and be safe!
YES INDEED! HAHA! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Stubborn fires these.
YES, INDEED! THANKS SO MUCH.....
Squad 99 Responding k
YES WE WERE! THANKS AGAIN......
What is the suction truck for?
TO SUCK STUFF OUT OF THE MANHOLE.....
@@THEMAJESTIRIUM1 Thanks..... Your videos are always great to watch (sent from Hong Kong)
Actually the water and stuff is supposed to be treated as contaminated liquid and shouldn't be put into drain system. Thats a large vacuum like a shopvac for water
Squad 99 10 84 K
HAHA! YUP! THANKS SO MUCH.....
How serious is a manhole fire for the block?
Very, especially if it breaches a natural gas line....
jon jonsson thanks for the answer
VERY SERIOUS IF NOT TENDED TO. THANKS SO MUCH.....
THEMAJESTIRIUM1 Thanks
You notice all the big major fires and incidents always happen in New York. It's a hotspot for tragedy. God's speed NYC.
WELL, NOT REALLY BUT THX.
