- Part 1 of 2, fireground audio from the Boston Fire Department, Engine 33 mayday with firefighters trapped at 298 Beacon Street. Our sincere condolences to the members of BFD and their families.
This dispatcher was amazing during this call.
J. Bman Boston’s Fire Alarm Office is within walking distance of the scene on Beacon Street. This had to be gut-wrenching for them knowing how close they were.
You ain’t kidding!
They played this in our Fire Academy for Fire 1. To this day it still gives me chills to hear these Brave Men struggle in the basement. Rest in Peace Brothers, gone but not forgotten!
As a firefighter this is the hardest thing to hear. Listening to your brothers calling for Mayday and they are K.I.A gives me chills
to the haters that leave neg comm y'all don't have balls to do what we do everyday rip gone but not forgotten
Deep respect 👍🏼
That was such a sad day I remember watching it on the news. Haven't we faced enough in Boston?? RIP Lt.Walsh and firefighter Kennedy you two brave men will not be forgotten.
Being a former fire fighter, I am so,so, sorry this happened to these
Guys... I couldn't stop from crying hearing the multiple crys for help
God bless these heros
A Firefighter makes his most bravest decision when he decides to become a Firefighter. Everything after is on the line of duty. William ( mac ) Mcdermot. Pittsburgh ladder 265.
God speed brothers.
That firefighters voice in that mayday call gave me some serious chills. Rest In Peace brother.
l lost my mom to complications from 3rd & 4th degree burns.
Listening to this is just gut wrenching in more than one way.
RIP and thank you.
stephanie gaudreau sorry for your loss
sorry for your loss
That’s a sad way to go. I’m sorry for your loss! I’ve heard of third degree burns, but never a fourth degree burn.
I’m so sorry 😔🙏🏻
Jesus Christ....33 yelling for water with their low air alert going off. Chills my fuckin bones.
"33 charge the line!!" Jesus...burnt through hand line, no water...bless them.
OMG... RIP. Great job by the dispatcher. I'm so sorry for your your loss
Fuckin awful. God bless brothers. Hats off to the dispatcher. Tremendous job with a horrendous situation. "They need water" "33 they're coming to get you"...heartbreaking. #RFB
This is heart wrenching to listen to. Condolences to all victims and FD as well as the families!
The dispatcher did an outstanding job!
Weather that day was terrible especially the wind and the direction in which it was coming from. I recall thinking to myself that if someone caught a fire they'd have their hands full. Then I learned of this tragedy.
😔
Wow, the dispatcher remained calm and collected between two incidents and the mayday call.
exactly what she is trained to do.
Yep, gotta give them credit for handling mayday calls like this though. Hopefully the Boston FD and the city has a safe 2015.
Josh W Hopefully every FD has a safe 2015.
Stick0413 agreed
May these men RIP and thank you to all those that put their lives on the line everyday, past, present and in the future, and may you all pass away from ( old age ) in the comfort of your own homes 💙💜
Heart Felt Condolences, to These Brave Men, the Boston Fire Department, any Other Fire Service Agency, who Lost Men & Women, in the Line Of Duty. We can only, Observe, when these Awful Incidents-occur. We Truly Thank, the Men & Women who Answer, the Alarm 24Hrs A Day.
So that others may live
Sad day in Boston when that happened. I'm glad I didn't listen to my scanner when I saw the fire on TV. I remember a few days after the fire I saw a Mass DOT signboard say "Mass DOT honors BFD fallen and injured"
I've removed negative comments and banned a user. Don't be idiots!
How come there are no recent posts? I hope you continue posting on here!
I always thought when a MAYDAY was broadcast from an active scene, dispatch was supposed to alert all other radio traffic that a MAYDAY had/has been received and that all other radio traffic was to cease, except for that directly involved with that MAYDAY scene(?).
It all depends on SOP/SOG’s and what the county/city dispatch system decides to do. Sadly incidents like these normally are the ones that lead to changes.
That’s exactly right.
I , or we should know that our brothers are in Heavan, kickin the shit outta the big ones !!!! I sat here listening to the audio, and shakin like a leaf. I had the same experience in my years doin it. The there is no way to describe the feelings you experience during that terrifying time in your life. The only thing that keeps you together, and not losing it is i knew they were coming for me. For u brothers out there, never take things for.grànted. train again and again. And when you are done, train again. Learn from your veterans. Keep safe and God bless.
Great work by the dispatcher, but this was a comms mess. I lost the number of times command & other units stepped on Engine 33 screaming for the line to get charged, guessing the line was burned through going into the basement?
Yes. 33 engine was out of water so it was going somewhere. Line was burnt through
It sort of amazes me how 33 called to charge their like for a while but it never got charged... RIP to these guys, great job by the dispatcher. Fire grounds can be hectic, especially with a mayday
Jack Angermeier they had water but they didn't have the fire completely contained on the first floor and when they went into the basement the fire went back over them and burnt through the hose line
Kameron Shank hi
Heartbreaking, but a reality in jobs that require hero to do.
God bless you my brothers
#Dorkstrong Never Forget 3/26/14 Box 9-1579. RIP Lt. Walsh and Firefighter Kennedy.
god bless them...
How many times did those poor guys have to ask the line to be charged????? WTF
Their line was burned through
My god ...... So hard to hear! Deep respect for these heroes...😔🙏🏻 All of you men and women who do this.....
RIP MY BROTHERS :(
the date was 3-26-14 right?
Yeah
Affirmative.
Im sorry, but once this mayday was given, ALL focus shouldve been on getting those trapped members calling for water OUT! It seems the Chief didn't realize how DIRE Eng33 situation was! My God, RIP!!!
David Weis I kept thinking why isn’t commands directing all/ most lines on the basement in order to try and get them out? Obviously impossible to judge by not being there but it gave me that feeling as the did not understand 33 could not get out of the basement.
@@s2knott absolutely heartbreaking listening to these men begging for help! May they all be in a better place now and forever, RIP!
@@s2knott same here, I was trained that when a mayday is transmitted, that becomes the priority until the mayday is resolved.
@vcgconstruction what up Vince!
Miss you wild man ❤

And greetings to you brother from an old, disabled firefighter in the U.S. I too hope they’ve talked about this. As you know, some of what we’ve all seen can eat you up inside if you let it. May God bless and keep you, and your family sir!
Grandpa
Edit: And thank you sir for your service, your compassion, and your kindness.
BFD BROTHERHOOD
Just pointing out you could’ve cut out the irrelevant audio, AKA Engine 51 at Our Lady of Presentation.
born in fire buried in ashes....RIP
4:18
They needed water! Why could they not get them water? I am mortified and sad.
Their hose melted
Tough to listen to.
😭🚒🚑
It's their not thier
radio traffic sounds like a towing company. This dispatcher needs to be serving slurpies.
Pj Haebe pretty dumb comment
Lavern Davis jr thats not directed at me correct?
That’s just disrespectful! You don’t understand what happened: This dispatcher was trying to account for two firefighters who were in serious danger after issuing a mayday while being trapped in a basement as their attack lines burnt through. As a result, the two firefighters I had mentioned died in the line of duty. How would you like it if you were trapped in a fire and someone said that about your dispatcher? Grow up! 😤
You're talking out of your ass.....dispatch did a hell of a job. A routine fire is chaos enough on the air. A major fire with a mayday is hell. Dispatch is our angels on the airwaves and this dispatcher served well.
I was part time FF and are union FF tried to make use look bad by slowing down response and police gave us speeding ticket going to fires so they could get better pension and residency lifted I don't cry for FF death anymore
