This is the most laid back fire scene that I’ve ever seen.

[@ajosephbaumhauer4071]

OK I have not been on a fire truck in 50 years but here is my two cents 1. The fire is through the roof immediately deploy the deck gun and SLOW THE FIRE 2. While that is happening pull your hand lines and mask up 3. Shut down deck gun and go in to attack the fire 4. Get a ladder up so you can attack the fire in the attic ( fighting the fire in the Attic requires pulling down dry wall and its hidden) 5. Now that the fire is knocked down you can search for hidden fire and hot spots One man’s opinion

[@cue881-yo7kz]

Your opinion was way better than their reaction. It's sad.

[@BillKayNJ]

They did all that. Unfortunately, it took them three weeks to do so.

[@FalselyAccused-d8z]

I have no firefighting experience but everything you say makes sense to me.

[@ivowitkamp7587]

If its a confirmed fire, crews should be masked up before arrival. At least thats how it works where live. Standard crew is 6 people (driver/engineer, command, 4 firefighters). At least two of the fighters #1 and #2 will be masked upon arrival and will have the deck gun running in less than 30 secs. If a search and rescue is needed, #3 and #4 also get there masks on, take a deck gun and enter the building if possible. If a search and rescue is not needed (because caller has declared and assured everyone already got out of the building), #3 and #4 lay down a water supply from a nearby hydrant and then proceed with low pressure lines. If there are possible/suspected victims, there's always a second truck on the way that will take care of water supply after arrival.

Bad yes, but I've seen videos that are a hell of a lot worse. I couldn't believe the absolute incompetence of first responders. I seriously thought it was a joke.

This is sad. It's even worse when you find out how high the taxes are in this town. Millions of dollars in fancy fire trucks but the houses burn down every time. Water puts out fires. It's plain and simple. Get the water on the fire ASAP. If you have no man power then use the deck gun until you exhaust the water supply you have. DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL! Train the probie how to hook a line to the plug. How much training does that take? It would be better than standing around doing nothing. An immediate massive water dump would have worked wonders to slow this fire. Why was the first ladder, with a nozzle on it, not deployed but parked on the street taking up space? Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. They need a course in efficiency. All we hear about is how much equipment weighs and how its the excuse for everyone moving so slow. How about the extra 100 pounds around the waistline? Does a guy opening the hydrant need the "100 pounds of equipment" to open the hydrant? Maybe guys can start putting their equipment on when they are riding in the truck, so they are ready to go when they arrive. There is just so much wrong here. Stop wasting money on truck graphics, lights, and the like, and get some paid professional firemen already. God knows this county wastes enough money. I honestly don't know how the taxpayers stand for this. Look at the videos, they are all the same. Equipment out the ass and the structures burn to the ground!

First, please realize that these firefighters are volunteers. That being said, Volunteer should not mean amateur. All firefighters, regardless of whether they are paid or not, need to strive to do the very best that they can. Let’s learn: Great to lay water supply from hydrant to fire upon arrival. Great deployment of a 2-1/2 hand line and quickly attack the external fire on side D. Unfortunately, they didn’t use the deck gun to knock down the fire ON the roof. Look at the windows and no smoke is emanating from any of them, so this is an external fire. Listen to the engine- it’s running at idle- plenty of capacity to run the deck gun. Several firefighters are standing, just watching and could have manned the deck gun. Both trucks should have deployed their aerials immediately and gone to work on the roof fire. Moral: let’s always remember that we have deck guns and elevated master streams, which are capable of being rapidly deployed and can 21:00 deliver large volumes of water (while hand lines are being deployed and additional manpower are enroute).

Unlikely that a deck gun would have done much besides shoot up and over the roof into the back yard.

This was difficult to watch. The fact you give placement for the first in Ladder Co., and then yell at them once they take position because you want your ladder in the air is just ridiculous and a waste of resources on the scene just sitting there. These tactics were horrible.

[@whithaggerson1]

A lot of standing around and not putting water on fire.

When they say water on the fire they are technically correct, but the part of the fire that's really burning through the house could have been slowed or stopped if they'd take that first line inside.

No, Line of Sight for the Deck Gun. 1:14 is where the gun should have been. 1:50 is when tank water should have been hitting this. Not for long because it has a very limited Line of Sight on the actual burning material, but it would have slowed extension down considerably. Water started at 3:30. That's one minute and forty seconds after it should have been started. There should have been a line at the right-side window but where is the line going into the WIDE-OPEN front door so water can be fogged into the attic? 3:13 The clown watching the other two FFers could have been stretching that line instead of playing, Lawn Statue! 3:20 Another Lawn Statue that could have been pulling that line. No clue whatsoever.

Looks like the house was under some sort of construction. Windows and door open, so the fire had plenty of air. Engine should have stopped at the driveway. Since they caught the hydrant, water supply is only a minute away, so engineer hits it with the deck gun 45 seconds while attack crew masks up.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Big fire, big water, especially with low man power can get a lot of water on fire with one or two guys and unlimited supply of water with hydrant.

[@robstick2792]

​@virgilhilts3924 I'm going to assume based on this comment that you are part of the brick fire department. It's the only way to explain the lack of you seeing the massive deficiencies in this video. It starts right at the beginning with 2 firefighters and a 3rd person having to wrap a hydrant (this is a 1 person 5 second job). Then the commanding chief trying and failing to connect this same supply line to the rig(not his job). The first crew stretches a line 2 minutes later(this should be done immediately) and proceeds to knock down some exterior fire and then never makes an interior push(priorities??). The second crew finally stretches a second line and proceeds to flake the line down the block (this is where we finally see some urgency for the first time in this video from 2 people trying to chase the kinks) but we never see their hose stream for the next 10 minutes. Then one ladder truck shows up and the commanding chief becomes a crossing guard directing them where to park so the next ladder can park where the first wanted to park. (This would have never been an issue if the engine wasn't in front of the house but you'll answer crosslays). Finally a 3rd crew stretches a line inside and proceeds to start actually making a fire attack(we finally see a hose streak through the new skylight) only for the chief to back them out so you can just do what the 3rd crew was doing but as a worse job from the outside. After all this the only evaluation that will be done is whether everyone went home and no remedial training will be done to fix any of these glaring issues.

Why does your area have so many fires, let alone so many engulfed buildings? My rapidly growing county has 20 stations across 2 departments serving 300k people and fires like this are far and few. Is it that these older NJ homes are more prone to fire? No doubt part of it is that many of the departments I see in your videos appear to be smaller and there is less uniformity in foreground operations between them(Literally as I typed this sentence the supply hose popped off the pump panel😭)

[@owenwhitmire6151]

Time from arrival to attack line being deployed: 45 seconds Your crew should be automatic and be off the engine and have the hose load on their shoulder in under 10 seconds. Not to mention it was a shitty deployment and the firefighter is walking with no haste to flake it out. Like come on putting water on the fire is not rocket science, there are only so many tasks that need to be done in order for that to happen and each one should be performed quickly and efficiently The one thing I will give props to the attack line FF is being masked up already(which I’m hoping he did in the truck while it stopped to grab the hydrant and not during the 45 seconds it took to get the attack line deployed) Sorry to rant but the fireground operations in these videos are always hard to watch due to the lack of efficiency, haste, and quite frankly, the lack of professionalism. Not to hate on your local departments, you are a great fire buff who always manages to be first due!
