2 ALARM FULLY INVOLVED Structure Fire Brick, New Jersey 1/24/22

Ocean - Brick Township - 2 ALARM - 171 Walnut Dr.
Around 2:45 PM Brick Police received many 911 calls for a possible structure fire at 171 Walnut Dr, in district 3 for Bricktown. Herbertsville 2471 was first due to the fire as the fire station is down the road. 71 arrived with heavy fire throughout a 2 story wood frame. They put the deck gun to use with the tank and protected the D exposure as there was an issue with the fire possibly spreading. Station 23,22,21 and 75 to the scene. They got a good knock on the fire then put two master streams into service.
The cause of the fire is still unknown at this time and is under investigation by the Brick Township Police Department and the Fire Bureau.

[@7892rl]

And as usual at most fire scenes the police arrive first, park all of their vehicles everywhere making it hard for the FD to park their apparatus where they need to be. Then they just stand around watching the fire just like any other rubber-necker would do. Stop doing that !!!

[@tomsreviews238]

Remember those cops are highly paid and all the Fire Fighters just give their service for nothing. Many times they have to go door to door to ask for money to even keep the fire service going. Maybe some of those cops might think of helping out rather than standing around bull sh-ting with each other on the publics tab.

[@chucknorris3984]

It's elsewhere too and not just fires. Crashes. Something that pisses me off beyond all others is what happens in a town nearby me. The cops literally fly to crash scenes (crashed 15 of their vehicles in the past 3 years in 6 square miles) and the first thing you hear on the radio is them calling the plate and license ID number. The county numerous times has got upset and refused to give them their information until they confirmed if there are injuries and performed first aid. They've ripped people out of cars that were pinned. With possible neck injuries. It's sickening. But you do not speak out about it. Or else. And in this video, they could have helped drag that 5 inch hose. Or pulled some help the firemen do something. No, they harassed someone safely taking a video and were a nuisance otherwise. Yet they wonder why their view by the public is so bad.

WTF , am I wrong, or the 1st due Engine just blow past every Hydrant close to the first? I'm sure there SOP is to lay into the fire and next Due takes Hydrant if that's there set up or leave 1 firefighter at Hydrant ( flush and hook ) and wait till 2nd due to connect and send water . Whats even worse is you have a fully charged line @ 1:02 with a firefighter just watching the home burn. Is there a problem with using your pump to tank lever? Knock some of the fire down with your tank water till you establish water supply. WOW , JUST WOW. When minutes make a huge difference.

The worst part it´s that they even didn´t need to stablish a water supply. The 500 gals on board will suffice for an overwhelming discharge, with 250 gals at 500 gpm, in 30 seconds the fire intensity will be down in 90%...but it´s clear that, additionally, the pump operator nor the deckgun man were convinced about what they do...the "save the water" mind has done lot of damage....

Used to be on a rural volunteer FD, we had a 3000 gal tanker that would go to any structure fire and then a 750 gal pumper, we would call for mutual aide for 2 other tankers if needed, we had no hydrants. Trained with a FD with hydrants and learned the "take the hydrant forward lay" method. A fire truck with no water does not do much to put out a fire. It seemed an awful long time for water on the fire. Hope some lessons were learned by that.

Also, the blue hose on the front right (AD) corner looks like it has water in it meaning it was flowed so I'm assuming they used all their water in this line. If it was a 2-1/2" I could kind of understand it but not if it was smaller. The deck gun is the much better option with this much fire. Maybe they used both?

It would have been worth it for the first due, to lay in from the hydrant and operate the deck gun immediately to upset the fire while 3-4, 3” hand lines with straight bore nozzles are deployed. Police, and first arriving non-aerial units must leave a path and place for your aerials. Also, use a butterfly valve on your hydrant for a second lay and/or have 2nd or 3rd due secure a second water supply source. Big fire, big water, as quick as you can; transition to smaller hand lines after the knock down.

Yeah i didn’t see an exposure issue either, at least not from the video angle anyway. And other comment is about right, you’re a civilian at the moment so video from a safe distance and not impede into the scene. I mean go to a local fire department and get permission to film and photograph and you won’t have a problem. Most north Jersey and big city photographers have permissions to be there.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

No, he was not that close, and doing an important job reporting on the fire conditions. Moving him back had no relevance to the operations and also means that the fire trucks kept passing in front and obscuring the view.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

The departments appreciate the footage around here they also use it for training the cops just doing there job. I get it, but I also always stay distance and I’m very aware.

[@kevin_nagle]

it's Brick, the PD is civil service... enough said

[@dalewiley1756]

You can photograph / video from any public right of way as long as you are not impeding operations in any way.

[@degrom542]

@@dalewiley1756 100% correct .

[@elshpen]

I don't understand, the first engine in carried no water? Isn't it sort of standard for engines to have a water reserve?

[@fireguy7107]

They could've came from another call and didn't get a chance to fill. Not every department is perfect and even the "perfect" departments make mistakes. Shit happens in the fire service. If people think they can do better they are more than welcome to join.

[@ldmhaman]

Was it fully involved?

[@allanweaverling730]

No water in their trucks?

[@tomjefferson3148]

Are they paid by the BTU?

[@ericweiler6571]

This guy's content is amazing. A lot of people don't realize how much effort he puts into making these great videos. Great job my friend

[@Freya090]

almost 5 minutes(cam time) to get water on that fire...way too long!

[@ellenarelkin1238]

I hope they got out! 🤞

[@Grayarea321]

If they don’t hurry it’ll go out on its own.

[@donbrinkman2701]

It usually helps to put water on it!

[@colnorth]

qrre they waiting for the house to burn then maybe the water ma come

[@jdsflch5762]

put on a reflective vest, hard hat, boots so you don't stick out like a sore thumb

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

lol

[@avontaprice6296]

At 2:26 what did officer say????😕😕😕😕😕

[@jsciarri]

He's got bigger ears than Dr. Fraud Fauci!

[@rdety]

"fast team" eh?..Millions of Dollars worth of Equipment is worthless unless you USE it!.That Deck Gun Should have been ready to go right off the Bat!.

[@donpatrick8582]

Just more proof that water on the fire is more important than $$$ equipment standing ..... lots of standing around waiting for water ... tax payers should have the last say ... even if adjoining property was spared ... another calendar opportunity gone astry... but it is not a job for just anyone.

[@willwagner2252]

Seems to take a GB long time for the FD to start putting out the fire

[@joemoore8054]

Thank God !!! I don't live in Brick NJ

[@robertcasher8267]

This scenario is common for a lot of fire videos on here from New Jersey

[@korbinian7255]

Why are the US firefighters so slow? In Europe we have 10-15.000L (~4000 gallons) water in the trucks and they start immediately with putting the fire out. During this time all the other firefighters built lines from hydrant. Everybody knows what to do, no talking, no blablabla, no ‘just standing there and waiting’. Unbelievable 🙈

[@jeraldwilliams8792]

Chief's responsibility....water, hydrant, truck, put out fire...one engine... where's command??

[@ericjohnson6653]

[@grabasandwich]

0:17 she's lookin back like 😁

[@chucklaw1955]

Great coverage brother!

[@jimkeappock7558]

Glad someone got the plug!! Might be going to work, Nobody else is working this fire!! Water on the fire LOL

[@joerossiter1611]

I've been watching a lot of these videos lately with a different fires I don't understand why it takes them so long to run the water lines and start putting the fire out it seems like they wait and wait for the fire to get really big and then decide to put it out I don't understand it makes no sense to me

[@wendelldolittle5063]

Welcome to the parade of fire trucks!! They sure weren’t Firefighters!! So embarrassing! Glad I moved out of Brick 20 years ago.🌴

[@SNS8R03]

A easy role for Dispatchers, Captains on truck and thebBat, you have hydrant maps, advising where and looking for them while enroute, advising and directing who gets it and who goes direct to the address ...... communication failure ........watched another foundation saved

[@heretohavefun]

The Tax Payers of that Town should be very Disappointed. They pay good money for this, a bunch of poorly trained individuals with very expensive trucks and no idea how to use them. I would dismiss the entire leadership staff of this department immediately. But true to the course, there’s no accountability in their poor job performance. The homeowners insurance will pay anyway.
