Pre Arrival Two Alarm Commercial Structure Fire Brick New Jersey 12/13/22

[@davey4636]

I wondered why he up graded to a second alarm but these boys are working with very little personnel.Keep up the dedication keep ‘em volunteer their ain’t many left that’s something to be proud of.Train,Train,Train some of the best firefighters I’ve ever been around were very humble volunteers.

[@Jacob-mm8xq]

Did not realize this was a volunteer department until the engine showed up with 1 guy. Great work fast knock down

[@LakesRegionEmergencyPhoto]

You know what, for short staffed full volley, this crew did a pretty solid job. 1 engine with 2 guys getting the K/D? Pretty impressive, even if it is a small fire.

[@DRIBBLES2500]

I have been in the fire service in The same county I have been president a couple years of the county Fireman Association so I’ve gotten to know some of the guys they are pretty damn squared away and do some kick ass Stuff

[@firefighter8889]

1000 percent agree! This response was impressive in several ways. An early alarm, and well trained crew / incident commander, an an impressive response time! This crew had everything in their favor minus the short staffed 2 man engine first due. All said and done this crew deserves recognition for an overall incredible performance! WELL DONE 22

This is the Best Fire response I have ever seen on youtube. Firefighters arriving before the apparatus did the best thing they could have confirmed a working fire and left the openings shut. Firefighters had the fire out in about four minutes and the fire declared out by 7:20 video time. Great work guys.

[@JS-zb1vv]

I wouldn’t call that a worker at all we might call workers differently though. But I can only see what the video shows.

[@peterb464]

You mean the chief arrived and declared it a working fire. The first few minutes of this video are a buff with a radio not a firefighter onscene. Imagine calling 911 and ur place is on fire and this idiot shows up first

[@skimmer8774]

Those firemen were quick. Very impressive.

[@qafireresponse]

They did a good job of putting this fire out but how can you upgrade to a 2nd alarm fire when you can't locate fire or nobody on scene that can determine if there is even fire.

[@ShakeNBake4200]

Probably cause they knew they were gonna have short staff, go ahead and get more en route in case it gets out of hand would be my assumption.

[@jasoncrawford532]

They upgraded it because of manpower issues. It’s better to have more crews on the way and then recall them if not needed, rather than have no additional crews with a short staffing and call for 2nd alarm when the fire is getting worse

[@Wa3ypx]

Nice job for being short handed. Got a game plan and went inside to get it. Perfect. Too many times you see "Walking around, walking around, then breaking windows".

[@mattalexander8925]

Great video! Monday morning quarterbacking put aside I think It was a heck of a good job, sometimes in a small community you pretty much just have to deal with what you have for a crew. With folks working during the day that can put a big hole in a departments staffing during the day. Where I live departments have to rely on mutual aid a lot to get the job done.

[@KB-dg2gr]

I love all the different colored engines the color choice was perfect

[@crippledbeast_U-toob]

Beautiful fire truck. Then the green one rolled up, love these Northern trucks. Big Blue is my favorite though.

[@AB-NJ]

Great job arriving so quickly. And hearing the radio chatter makes it even better. So glad I subscribed to your channel. You rock!!

[@nfdhomer]

good work with a tight crew. This was the second call, units were on site for a gas leak in a occupied apartment complex just prior to this being dispatched, also the reason for the early call for additional resources as the first due truck and engine were already committed.

[@washingtonstatebodycam]

The building says renovations, how ironic.

[@kenallred2215]

A little over reaction to call a second alarm for light smoke showing only interior. No exterior smoke showing. I’d definitely be questioning the ability of that first unit onscene to waste second alarm resources for a small fire

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Small town, all volly any working fire is a 2nd alarm just how the town works. Wasn’t over kill

[@korupt12231982]

I have a few questions I'm gonna ask after watching this video that I'm confused with Why was the guy that was wearing the florescent hoody moving the hose around not wearing any turnout gear?? VERY unsafe Why was the guy who was video taping this not asked to move across the street once the chief confirmed a working fire and called a 2nd alarm? Had there been an explosion or structural collapse this could've been a nightmare scenario. How was a single firefighter allowed to enter a structure fire alone with a hose line with the 2nd engine arriving moments before he went inside. Had that building collapsed or flashed over or godforbid he had to put out a mayday he would've been screwed. How come when the chief was walking around the exterior of the building he was not wearing any turnout gear? I'm in no way shape or form criticizing these firefighters but you can definitely tell these are volunteers

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

A couple other comments clear this up but here ya go. There was a another active call going on gas leak with Evac so everyone else tied up with that. This came in as a smoke scare I was first on scene, that wasn’t the Chief 2120 he was on the local garbage truck and in the area so responded directly to the scene they are both active members who came off the trash truck. As for me filming I felt I was in a safe distance & with the owners of property. At anytime if someone asks me to move I do right away. Yes anything coulda happened but I’m ready for that. I’m also wearing a fireproof jacket on scenes. Due to the active fire and short staffed I think they thought it was best to knock it before it spread, I think that was the right call with only being a reported small fire at the time from the owners. I can’t speak for the company just what I saw on scene the fire was contained & out very quickly & saved the building by there fast actions.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

This is 100% vollly town & all of the mutual aid is also

[@susanjones7185]

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

I think a second alarm was overkill. I know they initially only sent a ladder truck which doesn’t make sense…but a first alarm assignment took care of that.

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Went Second Alarm due to that’s just how this town operates. The fire was out with a 1 manned engine company.

[@hihfty]

Daytime fire in a volunteer department is kryptonite. Some times it’s needed just To get asses in seats.

[@straightwhitemale4228]

You forget they were already out on another active call so it’s better to call a 2nd alarm than to scrounge what you can from then initial alarm.

[@johnhemple7459]

When a volunteer you never know who will show up 2nd called in for extra coverage.

[@RLTtizME]

They did just fine. Take the day off.

[@brianrobinson9602]

Seems they run VERY short handed. None the less, you need door control and proper ventilation. That was probably cooking for a while and most likely has dropped ceilings, which is prone to flashover or having fire get behind you.

[@RLTtizME]

Or a thousand other causes. Sit back in your recliner.

[@tubelooker71]

Departments have different policies to meet 2 in 2 out requirements.

[@easeshot655]

Incident commander gave a fairly bad initial report. Should have been something like “we have a small, one story commercial structure,decent to light smoke, upgrade to a working fire.

from the lay person , it seems like the firefighters spend alot of time fussing with their gear.. their helmet, their tanks, their masks.... dont they get geared up on the drive to the fire? seems like alot of time spent in front of the building just getting dressed

[@jerseyshorefireresponse]

Like the description says very short staffed for this fire (full volunteers) the guy can’t drive with his tank on either can the chiefs or any officers so you’ll always see them putting on gear on FG.

[@flyingled3176]

When does the driver have time to get the air pack on while getting the engine to the scene? Think it would be safe while doing so? They have a 2 man crew the other guy working the radio. I'm sure if they had 3 or more personnel on the truck 2 would have been ready mask and all but turn the air on

[@OGuselessrogue]

They're wearing their seat belts on the way to the fire. Everything but the SCBA usually gets put on before leaving the station.
