Police and fire phonetic alphabet is different from that of the military / NATO

@@rcor87 Do you know why? Always struck me as odd, especially given how many veterans go on to join police/fire. Even civilians tend to know NATO, willy for w is ridiculous lol

@saramae9878 police and fire phonetic alphabet is much older than NATO. Maybe they didn't want to change it? though I'm not sure. And W is actually William, not Willy. Maybe they were just shortening it. For example, E is Edward and C is Charles, but you'll most often hear Eddie and Charlie used instead.

@@rcor87 I didn't realize it was older, thanks for that info. Make sense they wouldn't bother changing it if it works for them.

@saramae9878 you're welcome. Some departments do in fact use NATO alphabet, its just not as common. And there are slight variations on the police / fire phonetics across the country. One that comes to mind is Y. Some use Young and some use Yellow.

I don't think they hit anybody, they just came across the accident.

@@ffjsb oh I thought I heard FD involvement

Video and radio talk are not in sync.

Yes, because there is very little difference between somebody arranging the repair of some potholes and somebody that goes into a fire to rescue complete strangers. It’s basically the same job. Both government workers just doing their jobs I have no idea why people celebrate firefighters I mean anyone can do that right? 🤔🙄

@@BeckiMuttley right, spray liquid, put out fire. Simple

👍✡👍

crappy

Isn't that steam ??

No, steam evaporates, smoke lingers. @@gunillarasmusson5636

​@@gunillarasmusson5636Yes, but a mix of smoke and steam. Class "A" products will continue to produce smoke until completely saturated.😊

It was citizencam

shitty video

Firefighter for 19 years , sprinkler fitter for 30.thought I was only one

firefighter for 5 years. no sprinkler work. feeling left out. LOL

Not until Local Law 10 of 1999 which was enacted as a result of the so called McCaulay Culkin fire that occurred on December 23, 1998 which tragically resulted in 4 civilian fatalities. As far as I can recall, the law pertains to new construction and is not retroactive except that certain buildings need to comply if they undergo what the DOB classifies as a Major Alteration. BTW, the original WTC was built without sprinklers. But as a result of the passage of Local Law 5 of 1973 (which pertained to certain high rise Office Buildings) they were eventually retrofitted. That law was still being challenged in court in 1975, but the city eventually prevailed. The Fire Commissioner at the time was John T. O'Hagan and he pushed for the changes.

​@@bulldog2289awesome thank you. I just retired from local 669. I was fortunate to do most of my sprinkler work in Montana, 10 years taken care of the sprinklers in Yellowstone Park. All dry systems

Really? You wish the fire that displaced my family and ten other people went on longer?
