Huge Convoy Of Fire Trucks Responding To A Massive Brush Fire In Lakewood Nj 3-14-21

[@DoctorDispatch]

Motorists had to have been thinking: "Okay, what the actual h*!! is on fire????" Love the tractor-trailer tanker!

[@Normal1855]

And they actually yielded. They didn't pull in front of the fire trucks. They actually moved.

Wow. When you have to get EVERY fire department in the state for a brush fire, you know SERIOUS SHIT is going down and that they need EVERYONE that's on-duty to get the job done. This is exactly what happens when the fire departments of each state takes their jobs seriously and will go through INSANE heights to get the job done, EVEN IF IT MEANS GETTING EVERY FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE STATE INVOLVED. They really know what they're doing out there.

[@efone3553]

I will never forget the day I saw a massive strike team responding to a wildfire that had just started up near Morgan Hill, Ca. I saw two massive convoys one with at least 50 engines and the other in excess of 80. They were reinforcements coming in from San jose and the Bay area. They had to use the frontage road that went right past my office because the freeway, hwy 101, was closed due to the raging fire right next to it. Imagine lights, sirens and horns of at 130 engines one right after the other and all of them snaking towards a massive column of smoke so thick you couldnt see the hills that you knew were their.

[@jackieelliott2992]

This was a really awesome video you shot. As always I got goosebumps hearing them horns. I talked back at the screen cursing people out for not getting out of the way at the intersection. Are people just not giving a heck or are they hard of hearing. I can always hear the sirens and horns even blocks away.

[@22LR.addict]

I take it the bulk of the unmarked vehicles were volunteers? If so I'm pretty impressed by the amount of lighting they have installed into their POVs, lucky if most of the guys around here will put more than a minilight bar on the roof. Also very impressed with the NJFFS running a fleet of brush trucks so consistently configured. Most depts you see have brush trucks built off of whatever old truck they can find and no two trucks have the same configuration.

[@hosedragger-204]

I'm leaning more towards undercover and unmarked police units based on the fire units being all red lights, and marked and unmarked PD being red & blues

Unmarked units are wild like that. When I lived in Orlando I got to see a sting-op gone wrong off of Semoran Blvd and Aloma Ave in October 2015. Led to a chase, crash, and a collection of all involved units. Unmarked cars galore. I got to see a Chrysler Town and Country, Nissan Altima, and the most jarring of the bunch were two Chevy CKs, one in gold, one in sea green. I don't know if they still use the CKs, but I know in 2022 before I moved they had an unmarked Ford Mustang Shelby Cobra and a Maserati Ghibli rolled out for one of the car shows in Longwood.

The brush truck in question riding up and down the road belong to the Incident Commander. He was being drop off to a landing spot to fly the fire. His truck returned to front line while he was in the air directing the other 15 or so brush units around the perimeter of the 168 acre. He later landed and was pickup to return to the front line to check on the firefighting progress.

Why are they responding all these pavement queens to a wildland fire and from i could see everybody was in structure gear, I saw a couple of small type 6 engines and a few water tenders.

[@FurryWrecker911]

The pavement queens weren't there for the woods. They were there for rescue, evacuation, and setting up a defensive. 29 homes and an office building also caught on fire, and the Garden State Parkway and Route 70 were smoked out by the prevailing winds while residents were struggling to evacuate. It was a bad one.
