2 ALARM FULLY INVOLVED Structure Fire Brick, New Jersey 1/24/22

Ocean - Brick Township - 2 ALARM - 171 Walnut Dr.
Around 2:45 PM Brick Police received many 911 calls for a possible structure fire at 171 Walnut Dr, in district 3 for Bricktown. Herbertsville 2471 was first due to the fire as the fire station is down the road. 71 arrived with heavy fire throughout a 2 story wood frame. They put the deck gun to use with the tank and protected the D exposure as there was an issue with the fire possibly spreading. Station 23,22,21 and 75 to the scene. They got a good knock on the fire then put two master streams into service.
The cause of the fire is still unknown at this time and is under investigation by the Brick Township Police Department and the Fire Bureau.

[@cleanoutsbygbellallc3916]

Absolutely a total disgrace heavy smoke showing the first engine goes past a fire hydrant and sits with no water, watching a house burn and no one is doing anything at all, ... poor leadership.... ..

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Yeah, they needed to fire up the deck gun much faster, reduce the heat in order to protect the exposures. Poor showing.

[@kevinjones1993]

Why did it take so long to put water on the fire , Sad

I couldn't agree more! Fire after fire on KZbin reveals this same thing; firemen standing idle until water becomes available.

[@j81870]

Good to know all you KZbinrs are so perfect but have never done the job once. You judge fire departments from one video with no other facts.

[@7892rl]

And as usual at most fire scenes the police arrive first, park all of their vehicles everywhere making it hard for the FD to park their apparatus where they need to be. Then they just stand around watching the fire just like any other rubber-necker would do. Stop doing that !!!

[@tomsreviews238]

Remember those cops are highly paid and all the Fire Fighters just give their service for nothing. Many times they have to go door to door to ask for money to even keep the fire service going. Maybe some of those cops might think of helping out rather than standing around bull sh-ting with each other on the publics tab.

[@chucknorris3984]

It's elsewhere too and not just fires. Crashes. Something that pisses me off beyond all others is what happens in a town nearby me. The cops literally fly to crash scenes (crashed 15 of their vehicles in the past 3 years in 6 square miles) and the first thing you hear on the radio is them calling the plate and license ID number. The county numerous times has got upset and refused to give them their information until they confirmed if there are injuries and performed first aid. They've ripped people out of cars that were pinned. With possible neck injuries. It's sickening. But you do not speak out about it. Or else. And in this video, they could have helped drag that 5 inch hose. Or pulled some help the firemen do something. No, they harassed someone safely taking a video and were a nuisance otherwise. Yet they wonder why their view by the public is so bad.

I have been a firefighter for 32 years in Victoria Australia. All first responding trucks carry on board water to begin a fire fight. Second truck supplies the first and runs aid to supply the first to a hydrant. Priority is to get water on the fire immediately then , rescue, cover exposures, and contain and extinguish.I Can not watch a video like this where everyone stands around apparently doing nothing.

@@ronjohnson1800 all of our engines at my department are 500 gallons! With 2000gpm pumps ! 500 gallons is plenty for most house fires ! If you have a good response time . We have plenty of hydrants in my area . If it’s past 2 rooms involved!! It’s gonna be a loss !! But we have only had 1 total loss that I can remember in 20 years! The rural setting is much different!! 1000 gallon tanks are at a minimum with tankers in tow !! Much longer response times and more than likely volunteers are responding!! The majority of stuff is fully involved anyway upon arrival!! Putting water on it is for show at that point! But that’s what the public wants to see . These guys look like a career department. They should have planned for this type of call . Could have got water somewhat quicker I would think!! But I wasn’t there lol I know some departments are so good with a tanker shuttle that they can do better than hydrants !!

Used to be on a rural volunteer FD, we had a 3000 gal tanker that would go to any structure fire and then a 750 gal pumper, we would call for mutual aide for 2 other tankers if needed, we had no hydrants. Trained with a FD with hydrants and learned the "take the hydrant forward lay" method. A fire truck with no water does not do much to put out a fire. It seemed an awful long time for water on the fire. Hope some lessons were learned by that.

Eventually the hoses come out and they get around to fighting the fire, but by now the house is totaled. Seems to me that the first engine on the scene should be a tanker so they can immediately start fighting the fire instead of waiting for hoses to arrive, hydrants found and connected.

The worst part it´s that they even didn´t need to stablish a water supply. The 500 gals on board will suffice for an overwhelming discharge, with 250 gals at 500 gpm, in 30 seconds the fire intensity will be down in 90%...but it´s clear that, additionally, the pump operator nor the deckgun man were convinced about what they do...the "save the water" mind has done lot of damage....

[@ccc530]

We need to develop and use tactics to deal with structure fires that have vented like this. It would have been worth it for the first due, to lay in from the hydrant and operate the deck gun immediately to upset the fire while 3-4, 3” hand lines with straight bore nozzles are deployed. Police, and first arriving non-aerial units must leave a path and place for your aerials. Also, use a butterfly valve on your hydrant for a second lay and/or have 2nd or 3rd due secure a second water supply source. Big fire, big water, as quick as you can; transition to smaller hand lines after the knock down.

Lots of comments about lack of water from the 1st due. If you look at the lights flashing on the back of the cab, they are showing an empty tank. Also, the blue hose on the front right (AD) corner looks like it has water in it meaning it was flowed so I'm assuming they used all their water in this line. If it was a 2-1/2" I could kind of understand it but not if it was smaller. The deck gun is the much better option with this much fire. Maybe they used both?

32 years as a vollie. As someone pointed out, first due engine should have seen the column of smoke and acted accordingly. I don't know what the hydrant situation is like in Brick, they could be few and far apart, so i cannot judge why certain decisions were made. But as I see it, and as we train in my dept: 1. 1st due engine drops LD Feeder line at the hydrant and moves up the street, around corner, and past the structure. Chauffer and officer should have responded as such when they saw the uphill climb to the scene; they should have an understanding of where the next hydrant would be down that street. 2. First due engine starts stretching 2 lines immediately. 3. second due engine takes the hydrant, in-line pumps to the first due to establish a water supply. 4. First due truck should position at the corner, cab out, to be able to cover A and D sides as well as roof, but 7503 and possibly 7511 were in the way; looks like power lines are on the same side of the street as the structuere. 5. third due engine should take a hydrant from other end of street, if there is one within the length of its LD feeder, and feed into the aerial and stretch a third line. We had a Mcmansion fire years ago, set back 50 feet or more from the street; wood frame, 60x120 house. 1st due engine steamered the hydrant just past the house, dropped 2 2.5" lines. First due quint dropped its own LD at a hydrant before the scene, moved up onto the property. 2nd due engine dropped its LD at the 1st due and inlined from a further hydrant, 3rd due engine inlined to the 1st due truck from the hydrant where it dropped its feeder. 3 hydrants feeding, plus two more on the opposite street behind the house for 2 more engine companies.

Standard distance here between hydrants is 500'.

haha nah just talking the talk, thanks appreciate it

[@sinjon]

Idk but it’s corny

[@peggyberger6403]

Fully involved is just that… once it is fully involved with will continue to be fully involved till they knock it down. The excitement of the fire got to you

It looks like the first engine company was waiting for a delivery of marshmallows! As a retired NYC firefighter this is desusting.

[@lewistasso8866]

It's like watching an episode of Tacoma FD, but with embarrassment and concern instead of laughter.

[@RLTtizME]

Sounds just like your third grade teacher's conference.

[@Mark-by8zd]

Yeah i didn’t see an exposure issue either, at least not from the video angle anyway. And other comment is about right, you’re a civilian at the moment so video from a safe distance and not impede into the scene. I mean go to a local fire department and get permission to film and photograph and you won’t have a problem. Most north Jersey and big city photographers have permissions to be there.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

No, he was not that close, and doing an important job reporting on the fire conditions. Moving him back had no relevance to the operations and also means that the fire trucks kept passing in front and obscuring the view.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

The departments appreciate the footage around here they also use it for training the cops just doing there job. I get it, but I also always stay distance and I’m very aware.

[@kevin_nagle]

it's Brick, the PD is civil service... enough said

[@dalewiley1756]

You can photograph / video from any public right of way as long as you are not impeding operations in any way.

A lot of folks are commenting about how long it took to get water on the fire, but I have to admit this one of the best examples of Deck Gun operations from an engine company that I've seen in a LONG time.

[@BostonTransplant1]

As an academy instructor would yell at us daily..."We suck without water!"

[@HighOnLife1985]

Too painful to watch. One engine in totally in front of structure, just to watch it burn because of no water, second engine coming in doing exactly what the first engine should have done, and now you have a tower ladder coming in that could have been useful for aerial attack, but instead is now back three trucks and has no use.

[@kevindanzer380]

What did they even do the first 5mins of the video??? Like what?? Looking at each other. God, i'm just so glad about our german fire fighters and their leadership.

[@chickenstripsnbbqsauce659]

So we got a ton of apparatus for one engine and deck gun for a single dwelling fire? Yeah this is why I left NJ. Waste of taxpayer dollars to have a bunch of stand arounds when two lines and a deck gun with PROPER plug lay in woulda done. They risked extension taking too long to get water on.

[@hjfdlt]

Is the house fully involved? I cant tell if it's fully involved. I wish someone would tell us if it's fully involved. The video doesn't show if it's fully involved. Please tell us if it's fully involved. I need to know if it's fully involved.

Great buff brother!,,

No tank water? How do you approach that much fire and smoke, and not lay in?

The cohesive flux valves usually take care of the flow. You missed that in the video. PAY ATTENTION!

What's with all the criticism?? This was a 'dry' run for when the real thing comes along.

[@maudwagner7211]

another great example of "all the gear, no idea" more flashing lights than brain cells. put the water on the fire as soon as you get there.

[@jimfulton9658]

What do they have against the first engine in tagging the hydrant?

[@josephforgione6207]

Why is there so many structure fires in your area? What are some of the causes of these fires? Is it defective chimneys, fireplaces, wood stoves, etc? Or is it electrical or did someone forget to take something off the stove? Careless smoking? I realize that you folks are more densely populated in New Jersey than we are in Northern Vermont. Keep us posted with your videoa.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Not sure! A lot is carelessness

[@portagepete1]

They all keep telling the camera man to get back, when he is doing more work than all the fire department.

[@HowardTVFan]

Thermal cam is awesome!!!

[@misterbee4574]

Ptl. Knehr needs to calm down at 2:25. Needs to relax. Take it easy, it's a house fire.

[@mgratk]

Easier and safer than hassling actual criminals.

[@jimdowling8679]

First in should have grabbed the hydrant. Never be 1st in without a water supply

[@billmorris2613]

Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 19 Aug 22.

[@61639093]

Why do these Cops constantly think they are doing anything remotely good by getting there 1st and parking cars blocking access. Street was narrow as is. Then stand around playing pocket pool. Time and time again this is seen. Their job is crowd control and blocking streets from rubber neckers . not the rigs

[@lawoftheland5923]

They move the cars if they have to. It’s their job how about you just move the fuck on and stop trying to tell other people how to do a job you have zero knowledge about.

[@windsorcorbin1005]

Booster tanks have been known to supply enough water for a quick knock down with a well trained crew using nozzle discipline

[@wendelldolittle5063]

Welcome to the parade of fire trucks!! They sure weren’t Firefighters!! So embarrassing! Glad I moved out of Brick 20 years ago.🌴

[@Jhihmoac]

I've been in that section of Brick before... Some of it looks familiar... Not on that particular street, nor near the house involved, though...

[@williamheber2118]

I hope they carry a lot of water on those patrol cars?

[@garysanderson7642]

Im still amazed it takes four plus minutes to get any jets on this fire!!!!!

[@kushkringle8314]

How many times will you call the obviously fully involved structure fire fully involved

[@landeny65]

This was extremely difficult to watch. You have to move like it’s your shit that’s on fire, and people not doing that seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of these burn down videos.

[@JB91710]

Welcome to the USA!

[@DC-ih8bv]

I’m assuming no booster tank on the initial engine company. From a big city FF perspective ..very close by I might add…a bit too long with hydrant water hookup source. Glad all safe.

[@9caplad]

They dumped the tank prior to videographer arrival

[@bruceburch8301]

Big hose knocked that fire down quick!
