EARLY ARRIVAL TWO ALARM Structure Fire Brick New Jersey 9/26/24

[@MR1977.]

This is the most laid back fire scene that I’ve ever seen.

[@AlvinSeville1]

I can see it now: the FD takin' out their lounge chairs, and aiming their hose at the fire. The visuals, the visuals...

[@ajosephbaumhauer4071]

OK I have not been on a fire truck in 50 years but here is my two cents 1. The fire is through the roof immediately deploy the deck gun and SLOW THE FIRE 2. While that is happening pull your hand lines and mask up 3. Shut down deck gun and go in to attack the fire 4. Get a ladder up so you can attack the fire in the attic ( fighting the fire in the Attic requires pulling down dry wall and its hidden) 5. Now that the fire is knocked down you can search for hidden fire and hot spots One man’s opinion

[@cue881-yo7kz]

Your opinion was way better than their reaction. It's sad.

[@BillKayNJ]

They did all that. Unfortunately, it took them three weeks to do so.

[@FalselyAccused-d8z]

I have no firefighting experience but everything you say makes sense to me.

[@ivowitkamp7587]

If its a confirmed fire, crews should be masked up before arrival. At least thats how it works where live. Standard crew is 6 people (driver/engineer, command, 4 firefighters). At least two of the fighters #1 and #2 will be masked upon arrival and will have the deck gun running in less than 30 secs. If a search and rescue is needed, #3 and #4 also get there masks on, take a deck gun and enter the building if possible. If a search and rescue is not needed (because caller has declared and assured everyone already got out of the building), #3 and #4 lay down a water supply from a nearby hydrant and then proceed with low pressure lines. If there are possible/suspected victims, there's always a second truck on the way that will take care of water supply after arrival.

This is sad. It's even worse when you find out how high the taxes are in this town. Millions of dollars in fancy fire trucks but the houses burn down every time. Water puts out fires. It's plain and simple. Get the water on the fire ASAP. If you have no man power then use the deck gun until you exhaust the water supply you have. DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL! Train the probie how to hook a line to the plug. How much training does that take? It would be better than standing around doing nothing. An immediate massive water dump would have worked wonders to slow this fire. Why was the first ladder, with a nozzle on it, not deployed but parked on the street taking up space? Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. They need a course in efficiency. All we hear about is how much equipment weighs and how its the excuse for everyone moving so slow. How about the extra 100 pounds around the waistline? Does a guy opening the hydrant need the "100 pounds of equipment" to open the hydrant? Maybe guys can start putting their equipment on when they are riding in the truck, so they are ready to go when they arrive. There is just so much wrong here. Stop wasting money on truck graphics, lights, and the like, and get some paid professional firemen already. God knows this county wastes enough money. I honestly don't know how the taxpayers stand for this. Look at the videos, they are all the same. Equipment out the ass and the structures burn to the ground!

First, please realize that these firefighters are volunteers. That being said, Volunteer should not mean amateur. All firefighters, regardless of whether they are paid or not, need to strive to do the very best that they can. Let’s learn: Great to lay water supply from hydrant to fire upon arrival. Great deployment of a 2-1/2 hand line and quickly attack the external fire on side D. Unfortunately, they didn’t use the deck gun to knock down the fire ON the roof. Look at the windows and no smoke is emanating from any of them, so this is an external fire. Listen to the engine- it’s running at idle- plenty of capacity to run the deck gun. Several firefighters are standing, just watching and could have manned the deck gun. Both trucks should have deployed their aerials immediately and gone to work on the roof fire. Moral: let’s always remember that we have deck guns and elevated master streams, which are capable of being rapidly deployed and can 21:00 deliver large volumes of water (while hand lines are being deployed and additional manpower are enroute).

Another embarrassing job by the jersey shore’s Vollies… 1st arriving engine thinks it’s more sensible to stretch a 2.5 to the D side with no exposure while knowing that this is an exterior fire that has made its way to the roof, extending its way into the attic… meanwhile it took the ladder company an eternity to get there, but it doesn’t matter cause they did absolutely nothing upon arriving.

Water on the fire ~2 minutes after the brakes were set and saved the vast majority of the home from fire damage. A very good job especially considering these were all volunteers.

[@jeannehanson7685]

One line in. One person to hold the hose, the other with a pike pole. The rest of the "firefighters" doing nothing. Help arrives and immediately go in with extra lines. Did the original arrival crew only have two air packs to use and one pike pole and were taking turns to use them? Is that why they are standing around? Hard to watch. Most pathetic attempt at "firefighting". Shameful.

[@TrevorJ2798]

Just wanna say thanks for sharing this video I grew up on this exact street as a kid and my mom's house is literally right down the road. I first saw the short Instagram video you posted and when it said brick township I got a little nervous and then when I saw Lexington Drive my heart sank. And I immediately called my mom to make sure she was safe and everything was all good. Glad nobody was in there unfortunately that house is pretty much done. Thanks for all the work you do ♥️

[@JNAGSVA]

So Sad !! Almost 4 minutes to get water on the fire. I wonder if these guys know they have what's called "A Deck Gun". If the first responding truck pulled up in front of the house, they could of significantly knocked down the fire with the deck gun as other units coming in could do the water supply. The first ladder truck arrived 11 Minutes after the first pumper got there, and an arial attack didn't happen until 10 minutes after the first ladder truck arrived. THIS IS EMBARRASING !! Glad I don't live there!!

[@AnthonyCamano122]

Staffed engine didn't get called that was 5 miles away.

[@jasminelindros8923]

Unlikely that a deck gun would have done much besides shoot up and over the roof into the back yard. They didn't even direct the 2.5", which was shooting from the D side all the way over to the B end of the roof and completely missing the gaping hole in the middle of the roof. Maybe they didn't want to flood the attic and collapse the ceilings on the interior crew, since that whole roof is looking pretty sketchy.

[@noneyour2461]

I WILL NEVER CLICK ON A VIDEO WITH ANY OF THESE GUYS AGAIN. I WAS A VOL FOR YEARS FOR A SMALL TOWN AND THE RURAL COUNTY IT WAS IN, WE HAD OLD OUTDATED EQUIP AND USED WHAT WE COULD GET TO MAKE WHAT WE DIDNT HAVE, AND WE WERE NEVER THIS SLOW. I CANNOT WATCH ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ShawnTheDriver]

I have the utmost respect for firefighters world wide, it’s a job that I myself don’t think I’d be able to do, and I’m glad that there are people in the world that can answer the call and do it. That being said; I feel like I could’ve put this fire out faster with a spray bottle. I’m not super familiar with firefighting tactics and all of that but I’ve watched enough response videos for even me to say “hmmm…they are doing this all wrong.” And in all of the videos I’ve watched I’ve never seen the hose pop off of the engine like that. What on Earth is going on here. If I lived in this neighborhood and my house caught on fire I wouldn’t even bother calling them. You could do more with a garden hose.

[@TheIroczcamaro]

@@ShawnTheDriver Lol-in-USA yes used to be respectable public servant profession decades ago. Fire science has turned to the dark side. It's not all about them and dowsing flames with water is not rocket science.

[@JB91710]

No, Line of Sight for the Deck Gun. 1:14 is where the gun should have been. 1:50 is when tank water should have been hitting this. Not for long because it has a very limited Line of Sight on the actual burning material, but it would have slowed extension down considerably. Water started at 3:30. That's one minute and forty seconds after it should have been started. There should have been a line at the right-side window but where is the line going into the WIDE-OPEN front door so water can be fogged into the attic? 3:13 The clown watching the other two FFers could have been stretching that line instead of playing, Lawn Statue! 3:20 Another Lawn Statue that could have been pulling that line. No clue whatsoever.

[@lanadrummond5542]

Most of the roof was engulfed before they even started doing anything! 3 trucks were on the scene and only a few were working on it. Glad it’s not my home!

[@robstick2792]

​@virgilhilts3924 I'm going to assume based on this comment that you are part of the brick fire department. It's the only way to explain the lack of you seeing the massive deficiencies in this video. It starts right at the beginning with 2 firefighters and a 3rd person having to wrap a hydrant (this is a 1 person 5 second job). Then the commanding chief trying and failing to connect this same supply line to the rig(not his job). The first crew stretches a line 2 minutes later(this should be done immediately) and proceeds to knock down some exterior fire and then never makes an interior push(priorities??). The second crew finally stretches a second line and proceeds to flake the line down the block (this is where we finally see some urgency for the first time in this video from 2 people trying to chase the kinks) but we never see their hose stream for the next 10 minutes. Then one ladder truck shows up and the commanding chief becomes a crossing guard directing them where to park so the next ladder can park where the first wanted to park. (This would have never been an issue if the engine wasn't in front of the house but you'll answer crosslays). Finally a 3rd crew stretches a line inside and proceeds to start actually making a fire attack(we finally see a hose streak through the new skylight) only for the chief to back them out so you can just do what the 3rd crew was doing but as a worse job from the outside. After all this the only evaluation that will be done is whether everyone went home and no remedial training will be done to fix any of these glaring issues.
