    You should start another channel with unedited content. I enjoy watching full length videos as well 😉

    Well we don’t see that often, using the ladder to take out a window . Especially when they haven’t found the seat of the fire yet . I’m curious if this department has thermal imaging cameras? They could have found the fire right away

    Saved the house, damage can be repaired so a good job by the FF's to my opinion.

    a half million dollar piece of equipment used to knock out windows when a man can walk to them and open them

    I wonder how the homeowner feels about the chief using the aerial device to break out the windows, but then other members walk up and open the other windows by hand.
  • @iuliandragomir1
    The CHIEF OF DEPARTMENT: Let's destroy the window with the ladder, is a small amount of smoke on the roof. Nobody go to the roof! We wait until we will have a big fire! We have to show all our equippments. You fools we are on YOUTUBE , move around the house to be filmed!

    Using the tip of an aerial ladder with lights on it to vent a window without knowing where the fire is is dumb. Just because FDNY does it doesn't mean you should.
  • @ffjsb
    I don't know what fool used the aerial to try and bust out a window, but they need to go back to the fire academy. (If they ever went in the first place) There was ZERO reason to do that.
  • Why is the chief operating the aerial when he should worry about command?
  • @mlrogers671
    Does anyone know of there are panels on both sides of the roof?
