    Great job guys in getting the resident to safety. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.

    Great rescue and also for keeping the fire in check and extinguishing! Several fire departments would start knocking out every window and cutting the roof away ventilating…which every room lights off with a well ventilated oxygen rich atmosphere which spreads fire throughout structure. Again, great job NFD for doing what fire departments are supposed to do!!!

    It's not exactly what I would call a "working fire", and the beginning radio transmissions were garbled and distorted, but that isn't the fault of the videographer. Nice work from the firefighting community of Newark, NJ

    I can't even begin to imagine the strength required to pull those heavy hoses into houses and up stairs while wearing heavy gear! FFs are awesome!
  • Awesome footage. I hope the person that was rescued from the roof was not injured. Have a great day my friend, and Happy New Year ❤️🙂⚘️🎆.

    That is the worst job of radio dispatch I have ever herd. Is it the radio system?
