And it was my cousins firehouse too. FF Michael Mullan. R.I.P. 9/11

Ian Moore RIP I’m sorry for your loss

Exactly

Thank you!

Your welcome!

They were out of the station in under 2 minutes though. Also, it’s not their fault that the compact streets are full of bumper to bumper traffic.

The FDNY average response time is 5 minutes. Sometimes could be 10 minutes in the heavy traffic areas.

@@dofaproductionstudios5991 Really, boy with some of the traffic thay deal with that is such a great response time, I guess the second or should I say, second alarm response units, have more time because thay come a longer distance.

I think it's because there is a lot of radio work on arrival and right before and it allows them to focus on their job.

It's not, but in this situation he maybe felt joining, because the whole fire house responded as well!

This video was captured with a Canon 600D with 18-300 lens.

Why, if there is no one around to hear it?

And also yes, noise complaints from nearby residents, who I can appreciate being very annoyed by it.

@Michael Rief: They have personnel outside stopping pedestrians and cars, they safely pull out, the FFs get on the rig, and as soon as they start rolling, the usually start w/siren. Keep in mind: - You DO NOT want to blow the siren / air horn inside! Besides deafening everybody, it also adds confusion- "Where is it? I don't see it! " 1 trip into the City, you'll understand! - The audibles aren't usually necessary just exiting quarters (see #1) - If they're not needed, yeah, don't piss-off the neighbors! (The FFs DO 'live there' too!) - TRUE FACT: (Although not really talked about too much) -- Hearing Problems are VERY common in Emergency Responders! Those sirens are surprisingly loud INSIDE the vehicle ( FD, PD, EMS ) and these guys (and gals) are listening to it (sometimes) ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!! After 20, 30 years, their most common sentence is, " HUH?"

@@GMan-yv8cb Excellent reply and explanation. I grew up in small town Norwood Ohio (Cincinnati)l I hung out at the main firehouse for hours waiting for an alarm to drop. I will never forget the time the entire house went out and they had me close the manual doors after they rolled out. I always wanted to be a Fireman but I never got the opportunity. Maybe it’s best that it happened that way since I would probably be gone by now but I still pull over and get excited whenever a fire truck is passing me on the road.

Manhattan Borough Commander!

TheSpot so he’s above the BC ?

@@steveyusko lol like 5 levels above a bc

@@michaelpatanella yep the bc has control over a couple stations with the Manhattan brough commander has full control over all units in Manhattan

What do you means

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast...

@@gregheyheyhey Slow is slow.

My guess is that since its a bourgh commander it isn't used much and FDNY didn't see the need to make into a regular vehicle

It’s not. It’s a FDNY car.

Thank you!

The type of building.

Thanks
