Pre Arrival Car Fire Garden State Parkway Wall New Jersey 9/30/24

[@Token_Civilian]

I'm impressed it took until 1:46 for the flashers to stop working, especially since that engine compartment was doing a full on car-b-que. Once they got the line in operation, that was a quick knockdown. Nicely done capturing this JSFR.

Nice to see a booster line being utilized, not sure why more departments don’t use them.

[@BigBadBeard-jo4xn]

We don't because people have a bad habit of grabbing it for not appropriate circumstances. (Apporiate being brush, small vehicle, not a room and content)

[@Jimmythefish577]

@@BigBadBeard-jo4xnthat’s a training issue rather than a booster line issue. There’s something very wrong with a department if its members can’t work out which fire requires only a booster line and which fires it’s unsuited for. But that being said, a high pressure booster line is more than adequate for reseting a room and contents fire to pre flashover conditions whilst a larger line is being made ready.

[@georgebaggitt1930]

@@Jimmythefish577 I agree with you whole heartedly. And they are much easier to handle and move around.

[@virgilhilts3924]

@@georgebaggitt1930 Except they aren't. A standard inch and a half with an HVLP tip is much easier to work with than a typical 1" rigid hose setup. I started my Firefighting career in 1980 when reel lines were still plentiful but being phased out of the US fire service so I used them quite a bit early on. For this sort of job I'll take 50-100 foot section of trash line any day over a rigid. There is literally no practical benefit to using them in typical situations at metros like this.

If you had ever been an actual Firefighter you would know.

It's amazing how flammable modern cars are with everything plastic including engine components.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Yeah you’d think the engine is all metal but probably 70 percent of the stuff in & around it is all plastic! Goes up quick as you saw.

[@Taillighttim26]

That's what I was thinking even engine components now are plastic intake oil filter housing even some of the coolant fittings are all plastic but that was so hot it melted the glass and that takes allot of heat to melt

[@23Sunrise]

Interesting how the hazard flashers on the car still work while its buring.

[@soonerstatefirephotography]

Often times the horn activates and stays on until either its disconnected or the car burns completely. Annoyingly loud after a while lol

[@christopher88719]

The battery in most Mercedes is in the rear of the vehicle, so the lights ran longer than they would have on a car with a battery under the hood.

Don't know who does that. FDNY only sends a ladder and a truck to a car fire, if anyone would send 50 it would be them

Hmmmm... Recall of 2021-2024 GLE and GLS SUVs Mercedes-Benz recalled over 116,000 SUVs due to a loose 48-volt ground connection under the passenger seat that could cause a fire. The recall includes the Mercedes-Benz GLE350, GLE450, and GLE580; GLS450 and GLS580; Mercedes-AMG GLE53 SUV and coupe and GLE 63S; the Mercedes-AMG GLS63; and the Mercedes-Maybach GLS600. Recall of 2023 and 2024 model year cars and SUVs Mercedes-Benz recalled nearly 32,000 cars and SUVs due to a faulty 80-amp fuse that could cause electrical problems, including a loss of power, blank screens, nonworking safety systems, and an increased risk of fire.

tow truck doesn't run for free they most likely if they had to pay out of pocket will be reimbursed by insurance but most likely they had to pay nothing out of pocket. it gets towed to the tow company lot and the car owner contacts their insurance and insurance company takes it for there

[@jays106]

@@jerseyshorefireresponse doubtful it would be towed all the way to NY most likely towed to the tow company lot where the insurance will handle everything.

At least two of the Firefighter's not wearing PPE. So sad, as too many Firefighter's needlessly die young of brain cancer, leukemia, COPD and other industrial disease.

[@scottroland8962]

Where do you see members without PPE ? You mean the two without masks ? Much of firefighting is common sense. They weren’t putting the fire out or doing overhaul and more importantly they weren’t standing in the smoke. You don’t walk around a major highway with a mask on as a Chief for a car fire unless of course you are clueless

[@chadbrown5353]

How many vehicles passed by with a fire extinguisher? Just shows how some are just useless oxygen users

[@mariebelladonna437]

They're useless because they didn't all rush to stop and insert themselves into a dangerous scene for which they are not trained, at which there were ALREADY first responders taking care of things? Some people just aren't physically or mentally equipped to handle a situation like that, and they know it, they see the cop, so they keep going. Or maybe they had their kids in the car. Maybe they're old, or disabled. There's lots of legit reasons someone might not stop, and none of them makes that someone useless. You don't know why someone didn't stop. So don't judge. Besides, if lots of people stopped, if every person who THOUGHT they MIGHT be able to help pulled over, imagine how many people would be crowding the shoulder, milling around, getting in the way, and taking up space needed by the firefighters. And even IF a fire extinguisher would've put that kind of fire out-which it WON'T-the cops wouldn't have let anyone get close enough to use one. It's too dangerous, too big a fire, with bursting tires, toxic smoke, and other materials. It's why the cop, who undoubtedly carried a fire extinguisher, as most do, had the common sense not to use it, and to wait for the fire department. The cops probably wouldn't LET anyone else stop, once they were there. And even if they did, they sure as hell wouldn't let a civilian get close enough to try to fight a fire. Extra civilians are a liability; they could get hurt, and even if not, like I said, they would just be in the way, and their vehicles would be in the way of the fire apparatus. If you're not trained, and there's already a first responder on scene, let them handle it. They're the pros, after all. I just don't understand people who shame others for not jumping to be a hero. We can't ALL stop. And we don't all want to. Sorry not sorry. You might have a hero complex, but that doesn't mean everyone does. Not everyone can be a hero. Some people are just normal, everyday people, and no more. And that is OKAY. We don't ALL have to be heroes. Because we already have heroes we can count on. The ones wearing badges and bunker gear. And they were already there. Let them do the job they trained for. JFC.
