FULLY INVOLVED MULTI-ALARM Warehouse Fire Gloucester County New Jersey 3/7/24

Building Fire - Williamstown - Gloucester County - Multi-Alarm
Around 9:45 PM, March 7, 2024 Williamstown (Monroe) Township in Gloucester County was alerted to a building fire at an old abandon warehouse. The warehouse was around 93,000 ft.² first arriving officers reported fire showing from the C side. Due to this being a rural area with no hydrants in the area, tanker task forces were quickly requested to the scene. Task forces from Atlantic and Salem county responded to the multi alarm fire which quickly went above three alarms. Fire officers reported heavy fire throughout the large warehouse facility. Four ladder pipes are put in service with a fill site just down the block. Crews were on scene several hours all night and into the morning to battle the blaze and finally got a good knock on the fire. The cause of the fire is unknown and no further information is available at this time.

Totally awesome coverage. Love seeing all the different departments coming together to help and support each other as family...🤗🤗

[@dongelinas5990]

That’s one hell of a lot of tankers. Love the drone coverage

[@chosenone1004]

Yea the OC will call for a strike team of tankers . These are already set up in advance . But you can call for a strike team of anything trucks , engines , EMS

[@mikeroberts3230]

Chief said he only called for one but one once is called some are activated automatically

[@kowalski3769]

Sounded kinda like the squak box from Emergency there at the beginning. You knew when that thing went off for anything over 10 seconds, stuff was about to get serious for Squad and Engine 51. Impressive RAC rig they got there! Excellent work with the drone as usual!

[@jays106]

WOW!! that was massive and the fact there were no hydrants close by that they had to bring in that many tankers including a semi tanker

[@SaseboJoe]

This is a dead end street too, a lot of walking.

[@bigdadytrucker]

This was my street last night… very intense situation all personnel did an amazing job i cant thank them enough

I heard all the fire trucks last night going down my street

[@aalleexx16]

Any history about this factory ??

[@TWOface916]

@@aalleexx16 I always heard it was a turkey processing facility. Other then that I have know clue as to when it shut down

[@gregggoss2210]

It used to be Snowball Foods, a processor of poultry products. Closed many years ago.

[@mgratk]

Wow, great catch, so much cool stuff in this video. Never saw a full canteen unit before, other than RACs, and so many tankers. And the drone shots are always amazing. Thanks!

[@japjoe7]

Holy tanker taskforce!! 😮😮

[@donnamitchell7707]

Fantastic footage. It was amazing to see all the emergency personnel working hard at getting the fire 🔥 out. I've never seen so many tanker trucks on one call. I hope there were no injuries fighting this fire. Have a great day my friend,and stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️🚒.

[@ronfreniere8769]

Hopefully there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, a massive area to control. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.

[@ladydalida6917]

Hello and many greetings from Germany First of all: A huge thank you to all firefighters, not just the American ones, all firefighters all over the world, for the very often dangerous job they do. This was the first time I saw that a fire department had a mobile canteen. Could we get more information about this vehicle? I would be particularly interested in the supply capacity. And at the same time, kudos to the unit that maintains such a vehicle. It's always all too easy to forget how important this vehicle is to the forces deployed. Therefore, a big thank you to this unit that owns and operates this vehicle. The Lady

[@grandinosour]

A canteen is commonly not owned by a fire department due to taxpayer funding being much more needed to go for other safety related equipment. This part of the country will tax the citizens to the extreme and throw away the money on a canteen for a fire department. The upkeep on that thing would be expensive, adding to the fact it would rarely be used. In more sane parts of America, the local RedCross chapter will pay a local food truck operator to set up a canteen when there is a larger fire to contend with, and the red cross will pay for the food.

[@tomfrederick6083]

I never cease to be amazed how municipalities and counties allow structures such as this to be constructed without a source of water that can provide ready water to multiple fire apparatuses and sprinkler systems. Internal sprinkler systems use a lot of water and will run a well dry in a matter of minutes. It's a wonder that an insurance provider would even consider covering such a structure.

[@scottrobinson3353]

I tend to agree with you. A structure that big in a rural area should have been made to have their own water supply or not even allowed to be built in that area.

[@mtmmac1]

Based upon what appears to be weeds growing in parts of the parking lot, it looks like it’s been abandoned.

[@user-rm4rn1sf4g]

There certainly are alot of warehouses on fire in just a few days.

[@ahummerich2751]

Amazing job covering this fire!

[@dizzydevil547]

Wow ! i think this is the most tankers i have ever seen at a call out in a video! I know its rural and no Hydrants ect so with the warehouse / factory being so large ect they were definatly needed! bravo to all the fire crews who attended in fighting this masive fire and im glad no one was hurt or injured in tackling it. I salute you from the UK as has been said further down all firefighters no matter what country ect they are in are all part of a brotherhood that stand together through good times and bad!

[@Firestang89]

That is a lot of water on wheels in a very short amount of time. Very well preplanned.

[@146TS]

Ephrata, PA, had a similar fire about a month ago. Martin's Country Market had a 4-alarm fire. They had units from Lancaster, Lebanon, Berks, and Chester Counties. Lots of tankers there too.

[@BigDuke-md8ec]

Can you explain exactly what your definition of “ pretty good knock “ is ? Your video coverage is great , your drone footage is outstanding.

[@55VickyV]

They must have had a contingency plan to get so many water tankers responding so quickly. I think I counted 18, but it was hard to count. I liked the multi coloured ladder, it sure made it visible! 🇨🇦

nocked down? it looks more like area where the fire has consumed all fuel load then they were able to douse the rest of it.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Yeah, burnt out.

[@131dyana]

Wow what a huge fire. So glad the departments worked together to keep that fire from spreading to the woods around there.

[@mfcjr1]

Looks like the fire burned most of itself out. But still a great effort by all the departments with the lack of water. Great job on the video.

[@SaseboJoe]

A lot of foam insulation for the reefer in the rear.

[@rkj4107]

A bit inefficient with the porta ponds but it looks like they had plenty of water available regardless

[@fredbiden868]

looked like 2 of the aerial ladders was moving the stream around but the 3 rd one never moved...

[@Rich-dw9ii]

Don’t think this fire was knocked. Looks like majority of it was because it burned most of the fireload. Tough when you’re relying on tankers for your water supply. Nice work on the video.

[@grandinosour]

I find it amazing they were trying to draw all the water off one hydrant....seems they would set up multiple drawing points with all the trucks waiting idle in line.

[@jays106]

@@grandinosour they were if you notice that "baskets" for drafting water from i think that hydrant was used mainly to fill the tankers

Yeah it burnt itself out was just surprised how fast it did

Dam would have stuck around if I knew you were floating around the scene,I was there early on in the job since it’s a mile away from me, had some good access to the scene I could have got you in for some good footage.

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

Well, of course all these tanker trucks are needed due to a shortage or even absence of fire hydrants close enough to the response site! No wet stuff to put on the hot stuff means to sit and wait for the fire to go out by itself! I wonder why water supply is a problem in industrial areas, where fires may have dire consequences, as opposed to "ordinary" building fires. Otherwise these firetrucks are just awesome! Did I spot some yellow trucks? I had always thought fire trucks are red! All the best! Oh, I forget: great drone footage at 5:50!

[@ritirons2726]

I’ll never understand why departments specify top mount pumps on massive pumper tenders.

Tankers as far as the eye can see dang!!

[@chickenstripsnbbqsauce659]

when ya say they got a good knock on it and they obviously dont as that is still a good 5 alarm fully involved structure fire . The core of that building is gutted and visible fire showing all four corners . Its contained sure but by no means knocked

Snowball turkey factory closed more then 10 years ago. It had become a hangout for degenerate kids and some urban explorers. My friend lives across the street and there was just a fire a couple months ago and some shady people caught trying to steal equipment. It has been an ugly landmark in our town for too long.
