Vintage FDNY Videos

Go to "FDNYrant"........go to forum "Iron Lung"......open "Pine St"  thread ......my & other recollections already posted there.
 
Thanx, Mike- I recorded & uploaded that one, and the part-2 (again today) over and over, I have audio on my end of original vid, but somehow during the upload to YouTube, both of thses vids lose it, not sure why..... like said I redid them numerous times.
 
Yes my friends, those were the days. Thanks Jamie for posting that. I kind of remember hearing it on the scanner that night. The fire was on Stone Ave in Brooklyn. Actually I think the factory came in at night and it went to a Fourth Alarm. I believe that 3 frame was a seperate incident.
  Most of those chiefs during the day Never got excited. I remember hearing one chief giving a progress report. His words were; "lets see, we have fire out of about 5, 8,.... I guess maybe Forty Windows". It was like he was counting the change in his pocket.
 
I have this video. It's called War Years Volume 1. There is a lot more action to it too!

I have that vid too, it was put out by Advanced I believe, after he bought from Levy. This tape was bought direct from Levy a few years prior to them getting it, notice how no "watermarks" on bottom of the vids.....(Didnt't wanna put up the "Advanced" version, since they still sell it- so I did the ones I got direct from videographer)
 
Forgot all about that! Great find! You don't happen to know where the NBC production featuring Brian Williams could be located?
 
I think there were some episodes that were produced but never aired! It is getting close to christmas, think you might post them?
 
The ones with Brian Williams, I believe, followed FDNY Rescue-4 post Fathers Day Fire & another on Camden NJ FD highlighting the 1st woman......
so much stuff so little time ;)
 
The first episode of the Brian Williams show did feature Rescue 4, it used to be available on ebay, I remember that series aired summer of '02. Brian Williams hosted the show from Middletown Twp VFD here in NJ.
 
I just found another one I bought on ebay, its short maybe 20min, the news follows Rescue 2 around 1996.

I gotta watch it again, not sure which news channel it was but they did a short documentary on R2 which aired during the news time slot in the mid nineties, it also covers the unfortunate loss of Louis Valentino. When I bought it , it was advertised on ebay as a 2hr documentary. It ended up being 20min long and then switched to a couple early 90's fires completely unrelated to the documentary.
