Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department responds to school bus depot structure fire

JFRD responded to a commercial building structure fire. The structure turned out to be a multi use facility for repair and operating facility for school busses. Upon arrival, heavy black smoke was billowing from the structure as 3-4 school busses were on fire.
The closest hydrant was located quite a ways away from the fire and a relay pumping evolution was initiated. Multiple ladders were positioned and prepared for a defensive attack should conditions have warranted such. The "C"-"D" corner of the building showed some buckling in the metal, but safety chiefs were in good position to monitor those conditions. The building also housed large containers of oil and diesel fuel which the safety officers were also well aware of, and proactive in the cooling and protecting of them.
Two civilians who attempted to extinguish the fire with extinguishers prior to our arrival were transported to the hospital with non life threatening injuries. No firefighters were injured. The state fire marshal was called to investigate the cause.

When this chief retires someday, you really need to consider keeping him on board to train and teach upcoming lieutenants, captains, and chiefs. Amazing patience, and professionalism. Calm, precise communication.

[@thejfrd2490]

He has a way to go before he retires...I am sure he will pass on his skills to others!

[@jamesbulldogmiller]

@@thejfrd2490 from the radio traffic on this and other videos on this channel, it's evident that the companies are well trained. The companies seem to anticipate the Chief's orders. One example; The engineers on the pumps are quick to tell the fire fighters to exit when the water supply starts to wane.

@@jamesbulldogmiller we pride ourselves on our training.

[@winterlighthome]

That is a fabulous chief. I'd feel good about following him into any scene.

Another great job by JFRD! 👩‍🚒🚒🇺🇸

[@thejfrd2490]

Thank you sir!

[@robbyjax]

I love these videos. It is really nice to step back and rewatch how the scene plays out.

[@thejfrd2490]

Always something to be learned when watching.

[@centralohioemergency]

Very nice video, your channel does a very good job of showing all the work that goes on on scene. I would be interested in seeing rundowns of the apparatus/number of personnel on scene included in the video or description.

[@thejfrd2490]

Thanks so much! Noted...will address that in future videos.

[@deborahsoucy2884]

Excellent job JFRD Glad you are in my city --- Debbie

[@thejfrd2490]

Thanks Debbie...our men and women from dispatchers through to chiefs through to rookies care and work hard.

[@dannyhonn973]

Did the bus catch and start it, or was it something in the building. As a school bus driver, this is my worst worry. The condition of the bus is why we're given 2 minutes to get up to 60 kids off. You cant cut 60 belts in 2 minutes. Why Im on my kids about conduct. Good conduct = safety. This dept knows its job.

[@thejfrd2490]

this facility works on school buses

[@jacobkeppler1984]

Nice work guys keep it up

[@thejfrd2490]

We will try!

[@brucestambaugh]

What a mess. You all did another fine job. Clean-up of equipment likely took a while.

It was and our crews did a fine job. Thanks for watching.

Great job , but what’s with the older guy , absolutely no turnout gear or helmet milling around the entrance to the building. At one point entering the building to pull a ladder out ??

Great question..."W 3" means that this is a working fire!

[@benjaminrobinson5484]

Was this a 2nd Alarm?

[@thejfrd2490]

It was not...standard commercial building response with a few added tankers to ensure proper water.

[@davidlenzi3551]

@@thejfrd2490 first alarm with tanker support. Well done My own experience on a volunteer FD was similar. engines with adjustable flow combination nozzles set on lowest flow setting to extend the usable firefighting time. Tankers shuttling water to engine. Sometimes we had issues with water supply due to distance from fireground to nearest fill point be it hydrant or natural water source. Such is the nature of rural firefighting.
