Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department responds to lightning strike fire to apartment

[@DUSTYPOP1]

well done you must have felt so proud rescuing the dog brought tears to my eyes being an ex firefighter.

[@thejfrd2490]

Always nice to reunite families with their pets safely

[@jenbrixton6834]

Amazing seeing something different being used to out the fire. Wonderful thanks for sharing

[@thejfrd2490]

Under the right circumstances...this is a very effective tool.

[@thenussbaum44]

That was a clever use of a cellar nozzle for an attic fire. Well done.

[@thejfrd2490]

thanks so much!!

I am watching from Elmira NY good job firefighters

thanks elmira

Thank you Jfrd! Working saving lives. Putting this fire out!! 🔥 ❤

Thank you!

What an awesome video. Never saw that type of equipment in all the fires I have watched. So interesting...🤗🤗

[@shanestamball1886]

Celler nozzle, they were very popular late 60s to mid 80s. They seem to have disappeared from the service

[@davidglaum2538]

@@shanestamball1886 I still see them in videos once in a while usually inside the building so you don’t get to see them may also be called in Benson pipe.

Bresnan Distributor Nozzle. Very effective.

Great job thinking out of the box tactical operations!!!

Appreciate that.

Thats a new one on me. I have never seen a ladder truck attic sprinkler . Kind of cool.

[@thejfrd2490]

Its very cool...keeps firefighters safe as well.

[@jays106]

that is an interesting piece of equipment! like a giant sprinkler head

[@thejfrd2490]

exactly...keeping firefighters safe as well.

[@johnwashburn7423]

I had not seen that sprinkler before. I imagine it lessens water damage?

[@thejfrd2490]

it gets to tough areas and turns to steam fast...putting ot a lot of fire.

[@micheldupuis-q9l]

come on guys go inside open the window keep the damage has low of possible....

[@thejfrd2490]

If we open the windows before we have hose lines in place, we feed the fire...

[@coneplato6702]

I will say great firefighting here but I did notice a lack of ground ladders from this angle until about 5 minutes in, those are important for firefighter safety and their seems to be plenty of people available to "ladder" the building. Am I just not seeing something or is this something that you could improve on?

[@thejfrd2490]

Pretty sure ladders went around to the backside first...then to the front...more fire to the back...but there is always room for improvement.

[@coneplato6702]

Cool thank you that's what I presumed.

thanks for your input

[@caroleknappsmith9010]

Personally I think the Fire Department should just mill arround while the fire progresses to complete loss of the building. Oh wait, they are. 😕

[@cjritchie9701]

Wtf are you talking about? They saved that building! They are interior working, you can’t see that, and clearly you don’t understand how foreground operations work, you have no clue how an attic fire works. And the guys “standing around” are on deck waiting to go to work

[@thejfrd2490]

@@cjritchie9701 thank you for trying to clear that up...they are all experts!

[@thejfrd2490]

You really don't know much about firefighting do you? You should learn before you pop off

[@randybaker9265]

This has to be the laziest paid fire department I have ever watched . Most paid companies and volunteer companies would of been on that roof cutting vent holes and on the second floor pulling ceiling down to fight the fire not standing around watching a ladder go up with a cellar nozel on it . Omg I would be ashamed.

[@thejfrd2490]

There were crews on the inside...the little bit of fire left after interior crews put the bulk of the fire out, was extinguished by that nozzle... You may be ashamed because you know not what you speak of...but we are a proud department...and a very aggressive and effective one. But thanks for watching!

[@chuckrobbins717]

One thing that is often overlooked is the amount of fresh air that is introduced into attic spaces through ventilation practices. Cutting a hole in the roof may let some smoke out, but it is definitely going to introduce a surge of oxygen to the fire and the fire will grow exponentially if there is not enough water being put on the flames. JFRD interior crews did an awesome job controlling the spread of fire through proper ceiling pulling which in turn limited the amount of fresh air that the flames received.

@@chuckrobbins717 you do understand the science behind it...thank you for that.
