Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department is forced out of a house fire

[@denisek292]

You did a great job videoing this fire. So relieved no firefighter was injured, and the family got out too. It’s always heartwrenching to see the after-effects of a house fire…a beautiful home gutted right before Christmas. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May y’all stay safe and have a Merry Christmas.

You all did a tremendous job.❤❤ Unfortunately, the poor homeowners appear to have lost everything and will have to start over. Many things such as pictures and mementos cannot be replaced. Thankfully no one was injured. I wonder what the cause of the fire was?

It is sad...unknown on the cause

[@wilsjane]

@@thejfrd2490 I was certainly seeing the results of crews that work together like a family. Getting the water under the roof at a shallow angle certainly works far better than putting it through the hole that has burnt through, where it misses the fire and runs out through the door. I assume that your department invests in proper training. Regards from the UK, London.

Were the parts that appeared to escape the fire salvageable? This video, in particular, was fun because of the close-up joking near the end.

We are human...some may get offended when we joke with each other when a family has lost everything...we don't do it to be mean, but we see so much death and destruction, it is a form of releasing for us

@@thejfrd2490 I guess maybe people want to see the "exciting"" parts, the flames and the smoke and the water and even the rescues, but not so much the "boring" parts like the overhaul, and the cleanup, and the decon. Me, I find it all fascinating. And every part is important to the big picture (and beyond). It should all be shown.

[@mariebelladonna437]

@@thejfrd2490 hey I have another question. When firefighters line up and all put the hose away together, is that part of like, a team building sort of thing? Or is it simply because the hose is so long and heavy? Or is it maybe both?

[@katmando6199]

Looks like was a beautiful home, why wash the firemen down is it pecautionary due to chemicals I am on east coast.

[@scottrobinson3353]

It's to reduce cancer risk to get carcinogens off the gear. They usually wash the gear in an extractor machine as well when they get back to the firehall.

[@thejfrd2490]

It is called "Gross Decon" and it is to remove carcinogens and byproduct off our gear to reduce the risks of cancer which are extremely high for our profession.

[@peepoclips7692]

@@TomManning-cs4el Yeah I'm pretty confused about this. We were taught in Firefighter 1 to use SCBA anytime we are potentially inhaling smoke. Yet, in practice, if the call is exterior, we don't use SCBA even if we are breathing in smoke. Seems like there is still the "rough and tough" attitude among firefighters that will ultimately lead to increased risk of cancer. I also don't want to be the only guy wearing an SCBA on calls...

[@Johnny-qy2il]

I noticed that the firefighters had bottles full of air on their backs. Do they wear these because it makes them look more badass when they are standing outside, or do they actually go inside to put the fire out at some point?

[@thejfrd2490]

Well, that's a great question...as stated in the description, the roof began to collapse forcing command to pull all crews out of the structure for their safety...so an interior attack had been initiated, but then halted... Our firefighters do not need to wear airpacks to to make them look "badass" as you state Not sure what your experience is, but your statement is rather ignorant...thanks for watching.

If you see collapsed truss members inside the house...that means roof integrity has been compromised, therefore forcing crews to get out of the structure for their safety.
