PRE-ARRIVAL AT FULLY INVOLVED HOUSE FIRE - SYOSSET NY

At 16:41 the Syosset Fire department was alerted to reports of fire out the windows at 43 Bluebird Dr. Due to numerous calls a fast truck was started out right away. Chief 5802 was quickly on scene and transmitted a working fire. E585 was the first due engine and TL582 was the first due truck. The fire was brought under control in about a half hour.

I'm so very grateful that the filmer filmed this in landscape mode and not portrait mode, and that he also held the camera still.

It's not even my house but I hurt inside knowing so many unreplaceable items were lost in that fire. Such a beautiful home too!

and this is a 100% volunteer department. Most if not all responded to their quarters from a job!!!! Very nice job.

How heart wrenching! 😰 I lost my house, everything I owned & all but 2 of my animals (the firemen resuscitated them) to a bad fire in April 2020. No matter how prepared you think you are, with fire extinguishers, safety plans, etc.. it all pretty much flies out of the window when you're standing face to face with a wall of fire! Scariest ordeal that I've ever been through.. it has haunted my dreams every night since. I basically relive it every night.. its exhausting! My thoughts are with the people who just lost their home. 🙌🏼🙏🏼

If that’s a volunteer fire department, they deserve an award! Outstanding response.

I thought they'd only try to save the surrounding houses at THAT point, but they really managed to put it out, and FAST. Incredible work!

I love volunteer departments. The fact that they are risking their lives and not being paid for it makes them true heroes.

[telemaster]

Nice knock-down. An example of a well trained Department. Everyone knew their job. Kudos.

I live right behind that house and pieces of the house were landing in our backyard. We saw the family escape out the back door. A police officer came to our house and evacuated us in case the fire spread to our house. It’s crazy to think that if there were more wind that day our house could have burned down too.

Condolences to the homeowners for their loss. But major credit to the firecrew for a highly proficient job knocking this fire down so fast and effectively. Extremely impressive! And good camera work, too. As a professional photographer I've been on-scene for quite a few local fires myself and while tragic, it never fails to impress me the amount of work and effort the firefighters put into fighting these fires.

That's a hell of a good volunteer department, wow. Nice job!

[ronfreniere]

For the amount of fire, once they opened up the 2nd handline. They knock it down quick.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area..

I lost my partner in a house fire in the UK. It is the most horrifying event of my life, something i'm still struggling to cope with. rip my beloved Jayne Jarman Addyman, I miss you so very very much xXx.

Heartbreaking, such a lovely home. Thank God no one was hurt! Excellent job by the firefighters. Superb videography and photography!

[shagdaddy]

"Everybody Out" response "YEAH" (confidently) then quietly, "Think so" lol

[kenikay]

The most efficient Fire Dept. I have seen on YouTube to date. I'm sure you saved a lot of precious memories and personal items for these poor people. Hats off to all involved.

I’ve been watching a lot of FDNY videos lately and I think they need to take a lesson from this fire department. That was a fantastic knockdown. One of the best I have ever seen. Great job.

[ryansullivan]

No occupants inside? Perfect job for the insurance company. Kudos to Command for executing an exterior attack. Minimize risk to personnel especially since the thing's gonna get torn down anyway.

As a retired deputy chief I’ve always told my men and women, never be on the bad end of a YouTube video….move with purpose!

(Photo courtesy of FASNY) Among Long Island’s 179 volunteer fire departments, there are nearly 21, 000 volunteer firefighters. In Nassau County, there are about 9, 500 volunteers, and while that number has remained pretty consistent over time, the factors affecting their demand have continued to change.
