Arrived quickly. There is a lot of technology, and it is beautiful. But the firefighters themselves are clearly in an extremely depressed state. They move like people who haven't slept for a week.
We are trained to stay calm and not run, rushing doesn't save any time, and with the weight of the gear we wear, it can wear us out quickly. Plus, most engines only have 800-1,000 gallons of water onboard, which if 2 lines are running, that gives us about 5-8 minutes of working time before we are out of water. Even though fire is showing on the charlie/delta side, the main fire is in the attic or bedroom on that side. Quickest way to extinguish this is to do a interior attack, by advancing a line up the stairs into the room and knocking down the fire. With less than 8 minutes of water, it'd be bad for the interior crew to run out of water while inside, so a bit of extra time is taken to establish a secure water supply off the nearest hydrant or if in the country, by setting a drop tank and shuttling water with tanker trucks
@@dave1135 It's great that you described the technical difficulties of heroic firefighters! But the whole trouble is that firefighters should at least urgently go to the place of ignition. And in the video, according to the timing, I observe in the video that for at least 8 minutes none of the firefighters is even visible on the horizon. Meanwhile, the roadway in a small town is clearly not overloaded, judging by the density of the flow of cars and the speed of their movement. And if the fire service is not able to fight fires, then all its personnel, starting with the chief, are subject to immediate dismissal. Accordingly, the water supply system of the town is subject to emergency reconstruction in terms of the number and performance of fire hydrants. The first actions of the fire brigade upon arrival at the place of ignition are the evacuation of people and already injured people. You don't even need a glass of water to do this. Burning people are not at all interested in how many gallons of water can be poured into a fire truck. They pay taxes for safety, not for under-watering. I would personally sue the city's fire department for criminal negligence in the performance of official duties.
@@dave1135 if 8 minutes into the interior attack is not enough time to create a water supply towards the engine that arrived first with so many equipment and personnel on site, you're really moving way to slow. A crew of 6 is enough. Driver/Engineer stays at the truck. Chief gives command. 1+2 do the interior attack. 3+4 arrange water supply to the nearest hydrant.
Would be interesting to have the time stamp on the video to show how long it takes to put the fire out. Some fire crews are inept and waste a lot of time while the structure is getting more involved.
put on 70 pounds of gear, drag a hose weighing 100's of pounds through an unfamiliar structure to find access to the fire in zero visibility. Try it sometime.
@@johnhuey7670 … ok I can see that you’ve never done this. Firefighting is extremely physical, difficult for a 20 year old, and obviously harder as the firefighter ages. These guys saved the house, see that?
Most american fire departments are volunteer, they often have to come from home and don't arrive all at the same time. You can't fight a fire with 2-3 guys you set up and wait for others
@@FreelancerFreakbeing volunteer is no excuse to be untrained and slow. Most European firestations rely fully on volunteers as well. But they are only allowed on the truck after they have finished their full training and education. Same training and education as the fully paid colleagues in big cities.
I’m not a fireman but just how long does it take to hook up to a hydrant and put some water ON the Fire? I see several trucks and fireman everywhere but no active firefighting…..hello.
Look at the smoke. It went from black smoke at 1:35 to white at 4:18. That is because there was a crew inside putting water on the fire. Great knock down guys.
@@luisyoder8805 Agree but where the hell were they & the water coming from?? I watched numerous times and couldn't tell - maybe they ran a hose to the rear where the fire breached the walls? Or came in from a street behind the house. Didn't look like any hoses hit it from the front. I know from my days that the smoke color indicates the attack but damn I'm having trouble seeing from where!
So tell me how long does it take to get water into a fire in the USA? A lot of semi kitted people walking around and looking and a lot of airtime talking. Zero action for far too long. And then half the fire dept turns up with air bottles on?
@@engineco.1494 A water baring engine with a deck gun and booster lines should always be the first unit out the door and on scene. You aren't going to put fires out quickly with trucks and ladders. You bring the Swiss Army Knife.
@Dennis Delaney my friend, fire spreads very quickly you know, speed is important, but I always see firefighters walking slowly.also leaving station 2-3 minutes are you kidding? When the fire brigades arrive at the scene, it takes a long time to give water, the fire is growing. I live in Istanbul, vehicles carrying water come together and water is sprayed on the fire within 1 minute.And leaving station about 45 seconds
@@Uber_Rides and when that guy trips running to a fire then you either need to remove him until he is assessed and then have another one help him and now you have two crew out of service. First rule, it’s not your emergency, it’s theirs. Don’t run and rush because that’s exactly how you make mistakes,
@Dennis Delaney yes, you're right, running makes mistakes, but in the fire videos I watched, the crews are walking like they're walking on the beach. There is a difference between running and being fast, and they always move slowly like a normal citizen, which makes me uncomfortable. The house is on fire, maybe there are people in danger inside, but the fireman outside is walking. You can notice it. Fire requires quick response or it spreads quickly and the damage grows. It takes minutes for the teams to even give water.

European coked up ferrets are not the standard here. Especially we don't use that toy apparatus that looks so silly. You are all soy bois.....and quite the butt of many jokes. Thanks for the laughs.
All though I didn’t agree with taking the front door before having a charged line in place they knocked it down pretty quick that could’ve gotten real ugly real fast good job firemen
Absolutely. Looked like a bunch of rookies waiting on a senior firefighter to come do everything!! That was terrible!!! Force it then close it !!! I guess they couldn’t pull a hose line either!! Just crazy!! Glad they got a knock down!! Everywhere does it different lol
I was thinking the same thing. They reintroduced air and allowed the fire to move towards the door. That door should have stayed closed until they were absolutely ready to go in. But they did knock it good so I'm surprised by that.
why ain't at least some of the fire fully dressed when arriving the site? And don't you have any water in your truck so that you can start fire fighting at once? Seems like many the object goes from somewhat saveable to full burned out while the fire crew are getting dressed or connection the truck to a hydrant.
As usual.. they don't rush.!! First responders need a car with water tank that will work about the five first minutes.. embarrassing how slow they work. Where I live its called firefighters for a reason.. not slow moving guys in fireproof clothes that only watch. 👎

Why do the trucks not have a big water tank? Those trucks are so big. . . Or do they have a water tank? If every second counts a water tank would be usefull!

Looks like a frame to me not Brick. What's the purpose of the 1st arriving rig that took the Alpha side? Because they did nothing but stand in front of the building. "Yup, we got a fire" They got there at 16 seconds and no one leads-out till approx 2:08 and that was the 2nd rig.
I an country with that many houses made of wood I just can't understand why you don't have a tanker together with the pumper in every call out to house fire. You could have water on in just a minute or two. Video after video houses are almost burned down to the ground before water comes on.

I have never scene a NJ fire department team move with any sense of urgency. I have seen many of these and these folks just don't care whether the house burns to the ground or not.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me or am I seeing the first due pumper crew just standing around? didn't even pull a line?? almost 9 minutes from time of arrival to get water on the fire? unacceptable!
Because they got old shitty "tools" Look at every country in Europe and Scandinavia, compare their equipment.. a firetruck is a tool, you don't need these big dinosaurs with everything in chrome. Maybe they will learn in the future. 😬
Compared to Russian firefighters, ours very quickly begin to extinguish the fire. The American firefighters in the video seem to be slowly slowly starting to put out the fire. Sorry if I offended you with my comment.
Hello, here is the link th-cam.com/video/0GoRmjAa2Z8/w-d-xo.html to the video of how our Russian firefighters work, and you can also see what speed to start extinguishing. Firefighters from Yekaterinburg.
I love all of the TH-cam firemen. I know of not one department that has too many firefighters, and if there are so many experts here, why not go and offer your allegedly superior knowledge and experience in person??
That was a good knock down. Glad to see a drop go into the pump panel and actually get charged!! Also "do you want the roof opened" no, hold off. Good call. Try to minimize damage if you can.
The union fire fighters are waiting approval for a work order to request water. Then they call in a pumper. And wait for a union fire fighter that can drop and hook up a line! Look at all those assholes doing nothing to knock down this structure fire!
Fast knock down. That thing was cooking good on arrival. Didn't even need to cut the roof. Those poor people no Christmas now and a trashed beautiful house. Looked like kitchen origin.
Took too long to get water on the fire. First engine could have pulled a line. Second engine could have fed first engine until an engine hit the hydrant. Leaving the front door open was not smart.
We always operated with first engine in is attack. Second engine is supply. There is no guarantee of any other help after that in a reasonable amount of time.
I live in the neighborhood and witnessed this from the other side of the house. Started in the chimney and had spread Firemen got it under control quickly.
This happened to my neighbors a few years back. The metal pipe in the chimney came apart inside allowing sparks and flames to ignite the wood surrounding structure
@@cathy7861, would it more convenient to have the fire three weeks later? Truly, I never understand comments like "That's awful, just before Christmas".
Absolutely unacceptable foreground tactic. I am guessing that the heavy rescue was first on location. I do not know why the first engine did not make the lay from the hydrant or drop a LDH to the rescue in preparation for feeding the ladder. Once the water was on the fire, the remainder seemed to go very well...... no unnecessary roof ventilation, no random breaking of windows. This can be used as a learning tool to be that much better the next time. No fire is the same. But if we learn from previous fires tactics that help us do our job more efficiently, everybody wins.
Should have been producing water much sooner, seems to be no sense of urgency what so ever, Water should have been produced within 40 seconds of arrival.
Sure looked like an interior attack to me.... here come the I'm not a firefighter but my grandmother's neighbors sister is so why didn't they shoot water in the back windows comments... lets not leave out the in Europe we would have had that fire out in 30 seconds... before anyone with a dumb helmet even got on scene... I love watching videos of fires but the comments definitely have become comic relief.
The regular “professional” commenters are back! We will all learn the way one keystroke at a time of their vast knowledge/experience to critique a fire from a video.
Well, Yahr, the fact is that no European firefighter would be caught dead in one of those primitive helmets so beloved of American firefighters. It's one of those instances where modern technology trumps tradition in the eyes of all but the truly hidebound. And yes, from a European perspective a lot of the American firefighting one sees on TH-cam does not exactly impress. And no, European firefighters would not have had this out in 30 seconds, but you can certainly find quite a few examples where they have water on the fire in 30 seconds, or 60 at the most, timed from when the first engine comes to a stop.
This is you filming? You aren't talking like you usually do and u would have gotten right in front of the building! 🤔

@@RLTtizME You can't help yourself, can you?
@@JB91710 You seem triggered. I must have struck a nerve.
That was FAST! They really saved that structure and it was looking BAD!
They are waiting an invitation to get started,
Where’s the water..
Thankfully, the TH-cam Fire & Rescue Department is at the ready at our keyboards to drop a bunch of recycled comments!
Winning comment...LOL
RECYCLED is 100% accurate. There are some that are just copy and pasted comments from the previous video
Looks like a frame to me not Brick. What's the purpose of the 1st arriving rig that took the Alpha side? Because they did nothing but stand in front of the building. "Yup, we got a fire" They got there at 16 seconds and no one leads-out till approx 2:08 and that was the 2nd rig.
First rig appeared to be a rescue rig, not an Engine company...
no sense of urgency on the firefighters parts. sad.
Your long history of hysteria is not becoming. Take your medications.
That's the USA Way!
Don't you have a dental appointment? Oh I forgot...you never go the the dentist. Gross.
My prayers are that no one was in the house at the time houses can be replaced but not lives
Great catch bud nice job !! I can't believe it took the 3rd engine in to tag that first engine that came in the other direction should of tagged first
Those fires fighters sure don't be in hurry to put the fire out... my goodness 😮
Why did the first truck do absolutely nothing
typical.
Because those on it are in Rescue Mode or should I say Hero Mode, not in Do The JOB Mode.
Not 1 hose came off that 1st due engine :(
What's the first due engine mean?
I an country with that many houses made of wood I just can't understand why you don't have a tanker together with the pumper in every call out to house fire. You could have water on in just a minute or two. Video after video houses are almost burned down to the ground before water comes on. In Scandinavia a tanker is standard togeter with a pumper and a ladder with every call out.
Not every house in America made of wood and them house are vinyl side not wood
Every pumper I have ever run had a booster tank of at least750 gallons. the largest being 1500.
They got enough cops there to have a FOP picnic. Where is the water ?
Is that first engine just for show or driver alone
Do you yhink the response time can be any slower omg Imhope the home owner sues the departments for slow response damage to the home!
A lotta jolly vollies standing around with their heads up their asses.
Love the Stokes basket with trolley under it to haul truck stuff to the scene. At first I thought it was an ambulance stretcher!
2 days to get water on it oh it's not through the roof yet
A big massive thanks to everyone who responds and works around the clock to keep us safe out there way to go phenomenal as always excellent outstanding brilliant they deserve alot of credit tons of it let's honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen and police who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated even by new Jersey fd and pd responding great job great team work and great and sweet catches as usual still going strong great team efforts are deeply appreciated stay safe and warm out there stay strong and healthy as well much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be proud really enjoyed and appreciate the vidoes please keep them safe out there and coming a big thanks to everyone who responds let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok right wonder what started the fire don't work to hard appreciate you guys thanks way to go very impressed !!! Joe
It takes forever before water is available.... what a shame. How many trucks need to arrive to het real action?????
First fire truck had no water?
It was a rescue squad. So just rescue tools and medical equipment.
@@davidcox3076 Useless for protection by eliminating the threat.
Can't believe there's no handlines deployed after all this time.
What are you talking about?
They had water on the fire ~90 seconds after the first engine arrived
And a second line about 90 seconds along with a water supply
With all those cops (I count nine) standing around, you’d think all the crime in the town was entirely at the fire.
was the fire men on there lunch break if it was my house i would go off my head at the lot of them
Great job !
Did someone forget the manual to operate the water hoses? 😂 would had been quicker asking the neighborhood bring a bucket
What are you talking about?

I have never scene a NJ fire department team move with any sense of urgency. I have seen many of these and these folks just don't care whether the house burns to the ground or not.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me or am I seeing the first due pumper crew just standing around? didn't even pull a line?? almost 9 minutes from time of arrival to get water on the fire? unacceptable!
Your eyes aren't playing tricks... You simply have no clue what you are talking about
All that time has passed and not a stich of water.WTF !
Why does it take sooooooooooo long to get water flowing on a fire. With all that man power
Because they got old shitty "tools"
Look at every country in Europe and Scandinavia, compare their equipment.. a firetruck is a tool, you don't need these big dinosaurs with everything in chrome. Maybe they will learn in the future. 😬
Compared to Russian firefighters, ours very quickly begin to extinguish the fire.
The American firefighters in the video seem to be slowly slowly starting to put out the fire. Sorry if I offended you with my comment.
Hello, here is the link th-cam.com/video/0GoRmjAa2Z8/w-d-xo.html to the video of how our Russian firefighters work, and you can also see what speed to start extinguishing. Firefighters from Yekaterinburg.
I love all of the TH-cam firemen. I know of not one department that has too many firefighters, and if there are so many experts here, why not go and offer your allegedly superior knowledge and experience in person??
Narcissism is a hell of a drug.
Here comes the defensiveness, always in plenty big supply.
Mat, blowhards put out fires the best...knock it out mat!
@@BrodeyDoverosx So is intelligence. You should try it sometime. You'll get along much better in the world with some.
Oh look, a bunch of GROWN men attacking eachother online. Well at least we know it's not just a teenager thing 🤷.
That was a good knock down. Glad to see a drop go into the pump panel and actually get charged!! Also "do you want the roof opened" no, hold off. Good call. Try to minimize damage if you can.
I noticed that to on the good no cut thru call.
Were the hell is the water
The union fire fighters are waiting approval for a work order to request water. Then they call in a pumper. And wait for a union fire fighter that can drop and hook up a line! Look at all those assholes doing nothing to knock down this structure fire!
What hell is taking so long
Fast knock down. That thing was cooking good on arrival. Didn't even need to cut the roof. Those poor people no Christmas now and a trashed beautiful house. Looked like kitchen origin.
Evidently was a fireplace/chimney origin. I thought as such when I could see the black, black smoke pouring out of the chimney.
@@prowordsmith but then A little later on I didn't see any smoke from the chimney but it could've been fireplace origin. Homes shouldn't have those.
You Never need to climb on the roof of a burning building. Windows are for seeing in and venting out.
Took too long to get water on the fire. First engine could have pulled a line. Second engine could have fed first engine until an engine hit the hydrant. Leaving the front door open was not smart.
We always operated with first engine in is attack.
Second engine is supply.
There is no guarantee of any other help after that in a reasonable amount of time.
In the uk we do things differently, we try to get water on a fire as quick as possible to extinguish it, rather than watch it burn!
Seems like it took forever for the firefighters to begin to put the fire out.
WTF, them firemen look like they really give a shit. Could they move any slower?
Too bad the video did not show more of the pump ops and attack lines. What did first engine in do? Did second engine in provide backup?
What was the first truck for and where was the tower going. Sorry but it was confusing
Does it matter sweetie? No. Carry on without comment.
@@RLTtizME Did your mother drop you on your head? Not one adult comment out of you!
Did the fire go out by itself?
I live in the neighborhood and witnessed this from the other side of the house. Started in the chimney and had spread Firemen got it under control quickly.
Sounds like someone forgot to clean out the chimney
I was checking the date and it was just before Christmas. So sad.
This happened to my neighbors a few years back. The metal pipe in the chimney came apart inside allowing sparks and flames to ignite the wood surrounding structure
@@cathy7861, would it more convenient to have the fire three weeks later? Truly, I never understand comments like "That's awful, just before Christmas".
We moved into a house a year ago that has a fireplace. We've been too nervous to use it because of this.
Alot of standing around....
AWESOME Response! Saved that house!
What house fire where you looking at?
Seems like the same story every time I see one of these things: what is taking so long to get the hoses out and put water on it???
Your comment is the same old story. Scram.
Finally, someone pointing the camera at the hydrant line when it gets charged. So many videos people lose the money shot!
Where hydrant at water
Amazing how they opened the front door, then not even ready to go in, and leave it open, to let fresh air in. wow.
Absolutely unacceptable foreground tactic. I am guessing that the heavy rescue was first on location. I do not know why the first engine did not make the lay from the hydrant or drop a LDH to the rescue in preparation for feeding the ladder. Once the water was on the fire, the remainder seemed to go very well...... no unnecessary roof ventilation, no random breaking of windows. This can be used as a learning tool to be that much better the next time. No fire is the same. But if we learn from previous fires tactics that help us do our job more efficiently, everybody wins.
Imagine for a minute that there was a report of someone trapped...
@@edloeffler9769 Looks like they got it on tank water. Imagine that, amazing concept!
The reason the firefighters take so long to put out the fire is because the more damage to the house the more money they get of the home insurance.🤔🤫
Do you still work at Sams Club?
Should have been producing water much sooner, seems to be no sense of urgency what so ever, Water should have been produced within 40 seconds of arrival.
Sure looked like an interior attack to me.... here come the I'm not a firefighter but my grandmother's neighbors sister is so why didn't they shoot water in the back windows comments... lets not leave out the in Europe we would have had that fire out in 30 seconds... before anyone with a dumb helmet even got on scene... I love watching videos of fires but the comments definitely have become comic relief.
the Europe comment is to funny
The regular “professional” commenters are back! We will all learn the way one keystroke at a time of their vast knowledge/experience to critique a fire from a video.
In 30 seconds wow.. plz bring that to the states
Well, Yahr, the fact is that no European firefighter would be caught dead in one of those primitive helmets so beloved of American firefighters. It's one of those instances where modern technology trumps tradition in the eyes of all but the truly hidebound. And yes, from a European perspective a lot of the American firefighting one sees on TH-cam does not exactly impress. And no, European firefighters would not have had this out in 30 seconds, but you can certainly find quite a few examples where they have water on the fire in 30 seconds, or 60 at the most, timed from when the first engine comes to a stop.
Here they are....
I feel so sorry for the owners.
I hope no one was hurt or seriously injured.
Why can't those cops help out instead of just standing there doing nothing????
Great videos
Before they charged the feeder, I would have had the 2nd truck on that lawn and the stick up. All in all a great knock on the fire, good job !!!
The way these garbage homes are made today, was surprised it lasted that long.
