[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

When busy around here it’s busy, yeah New Jersey is very diverse. Drive 20 mins west it’s farmland and forests 20 mins east it’s all beach and water

[@brooklynboy5831]

That little boat is a friggin fire boat a marine unit are you kidding? That looks like a little fishing boat and they definitely need training no doubt about that. I was with FDNY for 27 years and I loved every minute of the job but these guys definitely need training.

Im surprised they didnt use any foam

[@gatecrasher1970]

that be too easy for americans lol

[@davidpistey6429]

OK again unit 2326 is the cutest toy fire boat I have ever seen and oh my Lord just watching them. Just let that boat drop into the water not good. Fire boat unit 2236 not much larger, but appears to have a digital mortar and appears to be more of a search and rescue/recovery. My main question for the local fire departments and hopefully this is brought up in a local Township discussion would be why is it saying that these homes with multiple dock areas don’t have dockside hydrants

[@georgeshea2200]

FYI it is a must to have a tie off to a substantial object. Ie one of the dock poles with a grappling hook or nose into dock under power. From FDNY small boat manual

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Great point that would keep the boat in position I’ve seen it properly done before in some videos. They don’t use the boat much around here it actually was out of service all last summer.

[@jakeringer3153]

19:15 filled the boat up with so much water the lift collapses!

[@jays106]

looks like the lift was not very secure to the posts as on the water side it pulled off the post from the weight

[@thomasbolcar8019]

With any boat the water pumped in needs to roughly equal the water drained out or you end up with a mess.

[@jonmel8518]

Watching the video I was thinking that the old 90 degree Nave nozzle would be great for this. We always kept one on our fireboat, then they called for the cockloft nozzle, Same idea, its just a straight tip where the Navet Nozzle has the pineapple at the end that works like a sprinkler head and you have the option to use the straight stream on the nozzle.

[@jays106]

if you listen they actually called for that nozzle and looks like at 21:16 they have it in use

[@jonmel8518]

@@jays106 Yep, thats what I said above. 👍👍

[@williamfrantz2663]

I worked at the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier Museum, where the ship is equipped with the nozzles you mentioned; they are compatible with Navy fire nozzles. However, I wonder if the navy firefighting fittings match conventional fire equipment.

My father had a chance to buy the lot that house is built on for $75K back in the early 1970's. but decided against it I imagine the value might have increased a little by now.

[@munderscore1156]

Was it really necessary for the police to block off the whole road for this?

[@moontreecollective6718]

@@munderscore1156 of course not.. just the usual power trip overreaction

[@IAMPLEDGE]

@@moontreecollective6718 of course it was necessary. It's their whole reason for attending. Anyway they failed. At about the 1816 mark you can see that police cruiser reversing to allow a white car to pass.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

There was lots going on, I’ll agree it should have been done better. Sooner on he shoulda blocked traffic and then release the road block once things slowed down. But at first he kept it open then blocked it and then opened again. Just weird timing, they were also helping the first due engine stretch line. Not sure.

[@goosubux]

Glad the fireboat put all that water in the river.

[@ffjsb]

A combination nozzle would've been a MUCH better choice for this. A straight tip is a poor choice for a fire like this that's 5' in front of you. And what the heck is the fire boat doing???

The DB strikes again. Morning DB.

[@ffjsb]

@@RLTtizME Other than being a troll, do you have anything to dispute what I've said??

I wanna know why they didn't unload the tank water by putting the deck gun in operation.

[@ffjsb]

@@IAMPLEDGE I dunno, ask JB....

[@IAMPLEDGE]

@@ffjsb lol. I was just looking to comment that on possibly the least appropriate fireground video. I'm honestly not good enough at remembering names to know who it is that almost invariably demands the deck gun. Is "put the wet stuff on the hot stuff" him as well?

[@Token_Civilian]

Oh my, what a mess that'll be the clean up. Hope not too much fuel spills. Looks like they needed to put so much water on it the weight collapsed the lift. Great coverage JSFR.

[@Summerguy24]

No the goofball firefighter was hitting the lift with his hook. Cost the homeowner hefty salvage bill!

[@reedvending2384]

Few years ago I was in Marietta Ohio, a boat exploded at the fuel dock. It ended up over by a barge. Marietta fire boat showed up. They proceeded to prop fowl themselves in lines then they pumped foam and water into the boat. Granted it didn't appear to be actively burning. Sent a guy in the boat. He got out and they sprayed more water in it until it sank ... Completely needless to sink it in the river. Just cost the guy more $...

[@RayJayOB]

With all the turnout gear the firefighters wear I imagine the pucker factor goes up a bit walking and working on an extended dock. For departments that respond to such emergencies is there water survival training they undergo in case they inadvertently end up in the water?

[@nubbyg9096]

They don’t practice that.

[@ffjsb]

How do fire companies that operate on a shore not have flotation devices????

[@bradmagnuson6963]

​@@nubbyg9096 yes, they do. Any marine fire units are required to complete training in not only personal water survival, but also water rescues, and fires like this.

[@theadmiral5425]

yup....its called stand up, its only 4' deep 🤣🤣

[@DennyReichard]

Well at least their air tanks will keep their butts high and dry.

[@Taillighttim26]

Heading down to Davey Jones's locker. Feel bad for the owner lost the boat and the dock is damaged too boats aren't cheap a hole in the water that you dump money in.

[@nayanpanchal39]

[@pamandjohnmc]

What! No Foam?

[@StolenValor24]

As a boat fire and rescue crew leader for 10 years, the fire was out of control. First I would command the whole incident. Safety first, incident stabilization, property conservation and life safety. My top three priorities.

[@IAMPLEDGE]

And what would you do in your new role as a Gangster?

[@IAMPLEDGE]

Also when do first due fire departments ever get called to fires that are under control?

[@brooklynboy5831]

That fire boat like I said, looks like a little fishing boat And it looks like they’re using a garden hose that you would use to water your plants and your and your grass. That’s no pressure you get more pressure for your kitchen sink.

[@richied657]

Great drone work you are gfirst due

[@jonmel8518]

I heard a company call responding with 1 and 2. What does thet mean?

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Driver and two members on board. It’s not a full crew so they call that out to let know the chief on scene what kinda manpower will be arriving. If everyone has what they would call a “light crew” the chief then has the knowledge to ask for more or upgrade the assignment accordingly.

[@ffjsb]

@@jerseyshorefireresponse Shit, that's NORMAL around here...

[@jonmel8518]

​ @jerseyshorefireresponse Ok, I get it about manpower. But why do they have to say they're responding with a driver? Isn't that a given? Or do they have autonomus fire aperatus?😂😂

[@hpw99]

What does shitshow

[@peterp1158]

Since it's on water, can you say they saved the lake?

[@ecw0647]

If there was 60 gallons of fuel on board, perhaps collapsing the support into the water with all the extra weight of the water from the hoses, wasn't a great idea. Maybe suppress the fire away from the fuel tank. Just seems a worry to risk spilling the gas into the river/harbor and risk that burning and spreading. Just a question.

[@bradmagnuson6963]

I hope they find out what the cause was, glad nobody was hurt

[@postalfnj]

amazing how this happens and nobody around

[@OSUfan757]

I was loosing my mind watching that fire "boat". You have front bumpers for a reason. Put your nose against the dock and give her a little power. Use slight steering adjustments to keep the boat head on with the dock. Simple. Every single fire dept with a marine unit that I've ever seen uses this method unless its in open water.

[@mikemanzo8495]

I bet they sure wished they had the old Navy nozzle. I’m going back a ways.

[@kevinborth2520]

why were no booms laid in the water to contain the amount of fuel? the size of that slick was pretty big- could have cut down half that size by working that too. sorry Navy Vet here- that's what i woulda done while they were trying to put it out lol.

I suppose boat fires like this will become increasingly hazardous when we move into the age of electric boats.

[@belowfray5251]

Wow, about 35 people, a million in equipment and it still melted. Who caused it ?

[@kenb.8596]

No dockside water hose?? Me, I would have been playing fire man until the real fire man came, as for the lift, probably a 16k to a 21k if that X 8.34 pounds per gallon X 500 gallons minimal = 4,170lbs of water = to obvious ending.

The pilot of the little fireboat needs to learn how to properly navigate it.....

[@bpd231martinko9]

@nickruark3693 my answer would be to get one of those electric motors that can maintain position via gps. Just saying...

[@bpd231martinko9]

@nickruark3693 a couple of factors move the fire boat around. One is wind and the reaction from the nozzle. I would suggest getting one of those electric motors on the fire boat that fisherman use that can maintain the position via GPS.

Being a retired fireboat marine captain and fire captain, the trick is to never turn the bow monitor to port or starboard; it's just going to turn the boat as it did. Keep the monitor straight, move it up and down, and use the boat to move the strean from side to side.

[@sunwolfyvan]

MORONS. they filled the boat with 3000 gallons of water.. of course the weight would collapse the boat lift!! once they got the fire under control they should have lowered the boat and pulled it out into the water away from the dock and had towboat tow the remains to a marina where it could have been easily removed from the water. the lift wasnt initially affected by the fire. Now you have a totaled boat thats sunk AND the boat lift is totaled...huge recovery fee now and the DNR is involved now because it sunk. Brilliant! this is what happened when you have too many people and not enough brains. Yea the homeowner is probably wealthy and insurance will cover it all but this could have been handled in a better way without so much damage. You can put boat fires out without sinking the boat.

[@Private011]

Water has to hit the base, not the top of the fire. Are these guys playing games? Likely could’ve hit that last hot spot with some dry chemical.
