JFRD responds to a Tree rescue RAW

[@b.a.d.2086]

What a remarkable rescue and impressive physically fit crew!

[@thejfrd2490]

Fitness is extremely important.

[@amishmike1]

What a dumb comment to make.

[@AdamSmith-uv6kr]

That had to be stressful for all. Being in the tree industry I see these stupid comments that people make without any idea what they’re talking about. Your team did an outstanding job rescuing what could have been an absolutely horrible outcome.

[@thejfrd2490]

Highly trained individuals here...no injuries is a win!

[@jays106]

that tiller is an amazing piece of machinery

[@thejfrd2490]

yes it is

[@tincans87]

Great job by the special ops team, that's a perfect example in utilizing your equipment at hand.

[@thejfrd2490]

Never easy....but everyone goes home safe in this one!

[@pamd.happykat8187]

Awesome rescue and excellent video! This one got you a new sub.

[@thejfrd2490]

Awesome, thank you!

[@captainding]

Great job gentlemen 💪

[@thejfrd2490]

Agreed

[@bz7427]

Holy shit all those fire trucks for that 1 guy stuck in a lift. Jacksonville Fire department doesn't mess around.

[@thejfrd2490]

That's right, we don't mess around...lives matter!

[@mothermarylspeaking8989]

Totally cool rescue and totally cool neighbors eho allowed the room to facilitate it.

[@thejfrd2490]

lives over property

[@jays106]

now they just have to fiure out how to get that man lift out of there that is gonna be interesting

[@thejfrd2490]

that isn't the problem

[@kevinhodgson4769]

Curious as to why mutual aid aerial did not nose in .

[@thejfrd2490]

That was their decision...they know their own apparatus better than we do.

[@kevinhodgson4769]

@@thejfrd2490 got it. Tks

[@jays106]

probably more stable backed in as they could not extend the rear out riggers and it looks like they short jacked the front

[@joannorman6039]

Good job 🙃🦘🙃🦘🙃

[@thejfrd2490]

Thanks 😅

[@vickyschnorbus4166]

I feel sorry for the guy stuck in the tree. He may find a new profession after this experience.

[@thejfrd2490]

he was not in a tree

[@louisgarso1309]

Good Job!

[@thejfrd2490]

thanks

[@zacharyman9159]

You know they have a save button where someone on the bottom can take him down . Gest he did not know that

[@thejfrd2490]

That was not the case here...but thanks.

[@ibiubu99]

What tree company was this?

[@designstudio8013]

Don't use them

[@thejfrd2490]

Unknown

[@Newjourneyadventures]

All got next time call JEA or your co-workers in public works with a boom truck he been down in 5 minutes and most are four wheel drive too

[@thejfrd2490]

That is well and fine...but getting them there in a rapid manner is the issue...we often wait on scene for utilities to be shut off and that takes quite a while...plus, the utility companies don't want to take on that liability. Thanks for your input.

[@stevepotthast4911]

At 12:00 firefighter using chain saw to cut through fence with NO safety gear!! And about 7 guys watching and telling him what to do.

[@thejfrd2490]

thanks for your input

[@chrisp8409]

These calls are both not fun and fun for the FD: not fun b/c a life is at stake. Fun b/c it isn’t a fire but takes strategic puzzle solving. Man who cut the fence should have had PPE. However, let’s not be the Monday morning quarterback. 🚨🚑🚒 Deserve our respect.

[@thejfrd2490]

Agreed all the way around

[@tomlorenzen4062]

Throw the guy a rope...I always had a climbing rope in my bucket truck- just in case.

[@thejfrd2490]

Not quite that easy...I think we handled it well...no injuries!

[@designstudio8013]

Call another tree company with a bucket.You don't need 10 fire vehicles. My tree guy climbs the trees.

[@thejfrd2490]

they didn't call for another tree company...they called the fire department and we did what we do.
