Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department responds to a house fire caused by a golf cart

JFRD responded to a late night/early morning house fire that started in the garage as a result of a golf cart charging. The homeowner attempted to extinguish the fire themselves to no avail...there were also two children inside that reached safety. The homeowner suffered minor injuries and refused transport to the hospital.
The fire was too far advanced upon arrival (first engine was on scene within 4 minutes) to mount an offensive attack. Ladder pipe, deck gun, and exterior hose lines were deployed to knock this fire down. The house to the Bravo side was damaged due to proximity to extreme heat, but crews were able to prevent its ignition as well.
No crews were injured fighting this fire, and an under control time of under 40 minutes was accomplished.
Solid work by command, crews, and dispatch.

Great video. As I watch these videos I realize how much I miss the job. Been retired for a few years but still miss it all the same.

.....As a RETIRED LOGER..................how WELL I know he feeling!!

[@pendoreille9185]

Gotta love the commander. He knows what he is doing and sounds like he is reading a children's book. Immediate direction that the attack was exterior. A calm commanders minimizes his crew's stress. I would work under that commander.

[@thejfrd2490]

Highly trained and experienced

That’s material things. It can be fixed. Lives can’t be fixed. Glad no one was injured in the house fire. No more golf cart.

[@thejfrd2490]

That’s most important…but the loss of so much is still hard to handle

[@paulthomsen3788]

Jeez does this guy love to hear himself talk.

[@choppermike3329]

If you are speaking about the IC I would have to disagree, didn't hear any unnecessary comms from him. Communication is paramount.
