Fantastic work from real firemen who don't only put out fires, but also put out water

The trees next to the hydrant don't need water for the next 10 years

Best part of the whole video is the end when 22 is driving off with the bunker gear on the back drying out.

This is an excellent example of what happens when you have the least amount of seniority in the Engine Company.

RESPECT FOR THIS FIRE PEOPLE.. GREETINGS FROM THE NETHERLANDS

In the mid 70s my ship was in dry dock in the Brooklyn Navy Yard for repairs One morning after getting off duty I was in a choke & puke getting breakfast talking to a few locals and they told me the following: If your lights don’t work the electric company might show up If the trash is overflowing sanitation might show up If your being robbed the police might show up But if you every need help with anything the FDNY is only a phone call away

I’m glad people cheered because they deserved it

Wow that’s one wet job! Loved the crowd cheering when the firefighters got the water under control.

It’s Saturday morn. I’ve got a pile of things to do yet I’m sitting here watching fdny sort out a leak! Wtf, not to worry. Regards from N.Ireland.

“Grab the mole” “The what?!” “A mall” He has a very heavy NY accent. Even his colleagues didn’t know what he was saying. Lol Thanks guys for always being on call when ppl need you guys most.

I bet that cool water felt great with all that gear on ..BIG RESPECT TO ALL FIREMEN

Now, imagine having to do that when it's freezing out. Forget that!

The trees on both sides of the fountain are saying "BEST DAY EVER!!!!"🌳🎃👍

I don't know why but watching this was very nostalgic to me. It was crazy to see and really heartwarming to see the bystanders give them a round of cheers. Thanks for sharing

BRAVO ENGINE 22 I’ve never seen anything like this !! Amazing fortitude 🚨💪🏼💪🏼❤️🤍

Closing that water valve was the coolest job in the city that day.

That shows a skill set right there as he was pounding the ground it was wet he had large gloves on and he handled that too like a professional much respect

I joined the FVFD as a 40-year old rookie and one of the first calls was to a house that encountered a burst pipe where the water service entered the basement wall, just before the meter. The basement was filling up quicker than we could pump it out & the water department was an hour out. There was a hand-hole curb box in the middle of the paved driveway that housed the main shut off. The valve-operator was covered in gravel & mud that prevented it being able to turn off with the curb wrench. I asked one of the firemen if they had a shop vac at the nearby station, suggesting we could suck the debris out from around the valve to gain access. They all looked at me like I was out of my mind before finally getting on the radio and requesting the vac. I had the water turned off within minutes. It’s hard getting respect/support from some of these volunteer small town lunk-head heroes as a rookie. I lasted 3 1/2-years there. The stories I could tell ! They’re definitely an asset to the community but, oh-boy. Kudos to the professionals.

If this had been in the middle of the summer there would be a ton of kids under it enjoying themselves lol.

The only thing those guys had in their favour is that it wasn't snowing. Great work guys

Well.. Those guys won't need their shower when they get back to the station..😂😂😂😂

Just one question : why the police doesn't stop traffic ? To let those people make the job safety ? These men are great and make a difficult job. Bravo messieurs !

You guys are amazing, thank you so much for your dedication ❤️🇺🇲❤️

Fun stuff! Much admiration to all those who serve our communities. God Bless

That's what training gets you. Someone who knows what they are doing. Living in rural Kentucky, I doubt you could find one person in my county who would know how to turn one off.

Obviously these guys are worth their weight in gold to the people in which they serve!🤔

I like that their jackets was hanging from the back of the truck😂😂😂😂 I would say these two (soaked) firefigthers was ready as ever to figth fires!👍👍👍👍

That is some insane water pressure

Never any little Dutch boy’s around when you need them!

I couldn't put out a lit match but, seems like someone ought to design an easier way to shut that off.

Looks like the neighboring City Tree got a good Drink before the Winter ❄️❄️❄️

I guess the kids were all home staring at their devices. I would have been standing in that!😂

After working for the water department for 32 years I've been through this several times and with small towns it's normally the water department that has to deal with this and not the fire department. The local volunteer fire departments do not have the training to operate a fire hydrant properly it seems and most of the Damage Done to fire hydrants are by Volunteer Fire Fighters who don't understand how fire hydrants operate. If you notice there is an out of service tag on the 4 and 1/2 and the hydrant was previously nailed and broken and should have been shut off at the main valve in the first place. But yeah professional firefighters usually always get the shit end of the stick but always do a great job no matter what.

Wow, old faithful is not only in Yellowstone Park but also in downtown New York. Great job to the fire fighters.

Looks like a good day to go swimming. Lol keep up the good work guys.

Thank God the fire department knows how to do the water departments job

God bless those firemen, for stopping that hydrant. Thank goodness this didn't happen, in the winter time.

They should have charged that large truck $20.00 for the drive thru wash it got. Great Job as always GO FDNY . I’m a Syracuse guy and hats off to them.

Wow! Gotta love you guys. My father was a Deputy Chief. 💖🙏💖

Good pressure on that line. That for sure.

That was a mess. Good job FDNY. Bunker gear is nice and clean

Damn, they’re lucky it’s not February in blizzard conditions lol.

Having been a FF for 37 yrs... we learned to put our rain gear on for sheared hydrants and keep our turnouts dry !

This shows that not only are Firemen "fireproof but "waterproof " ... Casually runs into a burning building, but a literally pissed off Fire hydrant.....👍👍👍💯💯

Probi here are the tools and remember this isn't the academy where everything is perfect. Good luck and don't get the lieutenant wet.

Now thats water pressure! Holy cow!

That's y they say don't park next to hydrants!! Good job fellas👍🙏

This looks a perfect time to teach the rookie on how to shut off a damaged hydrant...

The trees are very happy!

Back in the 80' this use to be our pool, water slide, etc..all you need was a empty can of Goya beans or Campbell soup can..🤣 welcome to nyc

My best bud works a Fierra fire truck manufacturer in Denham Springs Louisiana. It's a cool process to see them built.

....and now for something completely different. That was so awesome and they were determined! Nice shot with the camera.

Молодцы, парни!

God bless firemen. Last breed of real men.

That bunker gear won’t need to go in for a cleaning

True heroes of our nation. God bless you all.

Отличный душ,справились хорошо!🖐👍

Great Work as usual by the FDNY! Nice Footage and Coverage!

Great video. Trouble is, I don't half want to go for a wee now!

Those men had to be exhausted. Super job guys

This would be a dream call on a hot 96 degree nyc summer day

You just know those two proby firefighters are thinking thank god it’s not December!

That was so gratifying to watch 🥰

Those gentlemen could work with me anytime. That’s what it’s all about right there getting the job done.

As a Los Angles City firefighter we do these everyday it is fun trying to find the shut valve in the street with water poring down on you.

It looks like free car wash day in New York ! 😁

Thanks for your service and dedication!!!!! All 1st responders... .....> YOU DA BEST!!! 👏👏👍🧙‍♂️🐺👍👏👏

This not about fighting intense fire it's about fighting intense water

That was satisfying! ❤

And I thought I used a lot of water when I brush my teeth.

A chiuso la mandata principale ma si e fatto un lavatone memorabile!😂 bravo Zaccarello

Thank you for your service to the Firemen. They done a great job😀👍🎉

"Get in there rookie!"

Every kid in the neighborhood would have been out there 50 years ago.

Great job Mr Firefighters.

And there we have it: proof that firefighters are part duck! Part gorilla, too. That must have been a LOT of water pressure they were wrangling, there! Good job, FDNY. You're the best.

It's interesting to see the crossover in municipal services. Here, the FD wouldn't have responded at all. Public works, water dept., like a utilities issue.

Wonderful quick work.

Wow! Well done. I think. The tree was very happy about the water. :-)

I guess that hydrant does not have a break away valve, like most hydrants

That's one thing in NYC everybody's casual no big deal just another day in the city.⛲🚒👍

A memory for a lifetime. I Love NY!

Looks like everybody gets a free car wash

That tree just had the wildest day of its damn life

And the custodian of 435 E. 90th Street is really pissed....

In front of the fire hydrant as well as along the street and at each intersection is supposed to be numerous water valve for the water main pipe feeding the fire hydrant. Just turning off one of the water valve will be making easy to solve the FH issue.

Great job, guys. That how you do it

Thank you so much yr guys big effort..😙😙😙😙 salut to the firemen!!

Let me guess. That's the probie doing all the work. 😁🤣

Loved this video! Shows a Firefighter never knows what he will get next. But, they are always, seemingly, able to get whatever it is under control. Thanks for the video. Sorry had wrong channel!☺️. 🚒🇺🇸

Ziccarrello & DelValle to the rescue! Great job!

Way to go gang. We know you will take care of it. Thank you

Wouldn't have expected for it to close counter-clockwise?!

10:25 that piece is called the SEAT. As the top of the hydrant is turned on or off, that end piece lowers and rises to allow water flow to pass or not. THE MORE YOU KNOW 💯

Well done lads, now you can go for a HOT shower 👍👍

Excelente trabajo💪👏👏👏

Mis respetos para estos héroes saludos desde México les deseo lo mejor siempre

Bravo! The raising of valve covers to road surface grade, and regular valve well maintenance (removal of debris from top of valve stem) would expedite the process of open or in this case, close the hydrant valve. What if this had occurred during an emergency in the middle of winter? Keep up the great work FDNY

They done a great job on the hydrant. Opening a few up around it would relieve some of the pressure on the broken one. And yes I have worked on them

This is what your tree in New York does when you don’t give it enough water. It makes California cry.
