- [EARLY ARRIVAL] Bruce Dr. 2nd Alarm Fire (Shelton, CT) 6/22/24
SHELTON, CT - At approximately 6:45pm on June 22, 2024, the Shelton Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire on Bruce Drive during an intense thunderstorm that was ravaging the area. First companies on scene found heavy fire in the garage of a 1 1/2 story cape loaded with massive amounts of fireworks that were going off as members tried to push into the structure. Fortunately all family members along with their dog made it to safety before FD arrival. The State Fire Marshal and ATF are investigating this fire.

To those armchair folks; actually this was a good operation considering fireworks (explosive metals, remember?) were involved. Yes, a power-saw would have been a better tool for the garage door, but we work with what we have. Nice work Firefighters. 💯
Except for the part where they went INSIDE the garage... Absolutely a dumb move. And they should've used a 2 1/2" line.
Now it makes sense. Saw this article in Firehouse magazine. The linked video said nothing about an earlier fire. Had to do some digging to find this info.
Just goes to show there's usually more to a story.
Total respect for you all.
First in dudes were fearless!! 🙌
Uh oh. I work for a home owners insurance company. I know my company would void the terms of the home owners insurance (as would most) for having those fireworks in the garage
That was my first question. Thanks for answering it. Expensive mistake for the homeowner.
How about flammable liquids like gasoline, oil, paint products, etc.? Just about every garage in the country has some kind of flammables in their garage.
Yea but fireworks in ct are illegal.
@KevTech1 yes
The fire chief should be fired the fireworks were stable until they lit them off consumer fireworks don’t just ignite if they did the public could not buy them
There goes his fireworks display
F'd around and found out. Insurance won't pay the claim, and rightfully so. Fireworks in non-professional hands are the epitome of STUPID. What a dumbass.
Dam big man dragging that 5” is NOT easy .
Those sure ain't sparklers.
In the words of a well-known dispatcher, "Saddle up boys! Sounds like work!"
Someone was storing fireworks
AND SOMEONE'S INSURANCE COMPANY ISN'T GOING TO PAY A DIME TO THEM.
Thought it was going to be a difficult, but good knock with the chief assisting the fist due handline to the garage. Should've had that second line go to the garage as well due to the conditions instead of bringing it to the front door. That garage either needed two 1 3/4 lines, or a a 2 1/2 line to get that under control, especially given that separation wall. Get your seat of the fire controlled FIRST (even if that means just having constant water on it) prior to sending in another crew to the next level ABOVE THE SEAT OF THE FIRE. When are departments going to learn? I hate to be the one that plays Monday-morning quarterback, but there seems to be no control system established for this scene. It seems there was really no IC established. The first chief there looks like he went to work, nothing wrong with that. I commend it. However, did he do it because he had another officer/chief in charge so he could work? I don't think so, because that's where we get freelancing as we see here -- fire/fireworks still burning in the garage with no water on it, creates heavy fire underneath the floor these two FF walk up into on division 1. One guy goes inside ALONE, then we are met with heavy, gray smoke pushing out behind him. Basics of fire chemistry; we see the garage has an oxygen source from the doors being pulled down, so maybe we shouldn't introduce another open door to complete flow path while this fire is still burning? Oxygen introduced to that smoke/fire/heat will create more fire? Is it coming down to the point where these "firefighters" should be tested on basic fire chemistry annually in order to continue riding the rig? It hurts my heart to feel this way, but it may be a sad truth.
You haven’t the faintest idea what you are talking about.
@@Cairns-880 😂😂
@@Cairns-880 Elaborate as to why you think sending firefighters inside a structure with actively-exploding pyrotechnics below them is a good idea?
@@itstaykenit’s a detached garage. And they went to the interior living area, they are not above any fire lmfao. It’s in the garage. You ALWAYS send a team interior on a attached garage. If you don’t like it. It’s prolly cuz you never fought a fire like this. Also, all these “chiefs” your talking about. The white helmets are captains. That’s why you see so many. They are captains. You have no clue what’s your on about
@@cjritchie9701 Show us where the garage is "detached" from ANYTHING. It's PART OF the BASEMENT and is directly below LIVING SPACE. That's NOT "detached" in any sense of the word.
Liked, subscribed and shared your video and your channel
Thanks so much.
@@FIREGROUNDIMAGES No problem 👍🏻
Same!!
Thank you! @@markmullin4246
6:00 How old is is kid here? Looks about 17!
You have to be 18 to join their VFD.
Nothing at all wrong with starting young to gain training and experience. In fact in many areas that is part of the process to get into a large professional FD. My first choice for a career FD had a 10+ year wait list just to get a chance to apply and test, let alone get hired. I became a Firefighter in the military and started the pipeline process before I even enlisted. I kept working the pipeline while in the service by applying for FD's that did not have as long a waiting list, I worked for a couple of smaller professional FD's after I got out. All with the end goal of getting accepted into the legacy department I really wanted, which finally happened in about half the time it took most because I worked hard at it.
If Firefighting is a career this young man really wants then good for him, it's a great job that I wouldn't trade for anything. I worked my way through and ended up earning a well into six-figure salary, great benefits, and a pension that is icing on the cake. I will say it is quite a bit different today than when I started my career in 1980, lots of "politically correct" nonsense and feelings based practices. But it still beats working in an office or some other lame, unfulfilling monotonous drone job.
Volunteer departments often have junior firefighters that can join and learn skills. They are not allowed to enter burning structures but can fight grassfires and assist with equipment.
16 to join
What are the different racks with the colors
Fireworks
@heudyvaldez2710 yep that's what I meant
Stubborn fire. Wouldn’t die without a fight.
Water would have helped.
@@JB91710 from what I can see they were putting water on the fire. If you don’t like how us firefighting is then don’t watch the videos
Were homeowners even there?
Umm-why no removal of cars??
Where's chief's hood at?
I am referring to 'Playcan' just to clarify.
bad
Chainsaw anyone?
OMG. Water pressure looked low. Hope there weren't any animals or people inside. Good job guys on one of the hottest days. 🙂👍
All people got out with their dog. Thankfully.
They looked like they were using a booster line, not an attack line. I don't know why they thought they could control a STRUCTURE FIRE with a booster line.
@ronaldrobertson2332 I thought the hose, line, pressure was very week. Not sure of CT equipment, but I would think all fire equipment is regulated no matter what state.
Greatjob u guys !!!😊😊😊❤
If it was a great job, the fire would have been out in the first minute after arrival using tank water and the house would have been spared.
@@JB91710this clown😂😂 only fire he sees is on the TH-cam vids he watches
The firefighter did an awesome job battling this fire
@@JB91710not remotely true some fires are stubborn why don’t you go join your local fire department so you can learn firefighting.
always remember a hose will push fire away from its self. best to get in front if can. if have the men. and man power in always a problem.
Ah no
Water will not “push” fire
Long since disproven myth
Nope The old school term is actually false!! Research flow path
You can not push fire if u are that old school u better brush up the new science as others mentioned here!
Wait.....what? No....just no....
The fire chief should be fired and the homeowner should sue.consumer fireworks in that garage was stable before they lit them and then it became unstable. Consumer fireworks are not built that way if so you can’t sell to consumers. Those were not professional fireworks in that garage it would have blown the whole garage up at once
Why does he have to be fired ?
WTF are you talking about?
@@frmerrin2 I work in the the fireworks business that’s wtf I’m talking about . Consumer fireworks don’t just burn like that arm chair opinion person.
@@fppyro5127 WRONG. Just because you work the register at the fireworks store, it doesn't make you an expert.
Im hearing that the call was made to light them in the garage because they did not like what they saw. (A controlled burn)@@frmerrin2
The green New Deal electric vehicle
For starters: EVs do not catch fire as easily or as often as certain media claims. Secondly, if you could read, you would know this was caused by fireworks. I would recommend educating yourself before commenting on TH-cam videos.
@@LakesRegionEmergencyPhoto Take a fucking pill
Nowhere does this say it was CAUSED by fireworks. It's only mentioned that there were large amounts stored in the garage. The cause is still unknown. Go educate yourself.@@LakesRegionEmergencyPhoto
House was struck by lightning
The fire started in the garage. Lightning was in the area but wasn’t the cause.
@@doreenblatz2440 I personally know the home owner
@@Prostyle0079 sure. Lightening struck the garage but not the roof. You can clearly see it started in the garage then went up, if lightening stuck it would have hit the roof first. Go back and watch again before you comment again.
@@doreenblatz2440 Lightning could have hit the house anywhere and found its usual path through the electrical system, where either the main panel or meter were on a garage wall...poof! Instant ignition from an electrical failure caused by lightning. Go back to baking cakes before commenting again.
@@mxslick50 Even if lightening did cause the initial fire, the plain fact is that the hoard of fireworks in this smallish house sealed its fate. Without them, there would still have been damage, but there would still be a house and it might have been reparable.
Note to self: Using the garage as a fireworks warehouse is a really bad idea.
@@MaxZomboni That is true but there are all kinds of homosexuals who store things dangerously.
Glad that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, and that the residents were able to get out in time.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
SO much for hording fireworks for the 4th of July.
Years ago, in my younger days, we had some doofus with a fireworks factory in his basement, and he decided he could use a grinder next to boxes of fireworks and it ignited, blowing the shit out of his house, injuring his daughter upstairs, seriously burning himself, and getting in deep shit with the FBI, ATF, Nebraska State Patrol, Dodge County Sheriff, Fremont Police, his wife..
You get it.
We were lucky the guys were on another alarm in the area, otherwise, it would've had time to rekindle and really take off. He not only had fireworks in his now half destroyed basement and house, he had them stored in his garage, and a storage shed on the property!
Fire fighters did a great job getting control is spite of fireworks. Great job guys.
Yeah, I've seen some videos where the Firefighters show up and look like they aren't in any big hurry, but these guys hustled and got it knocked out.
It was a fire fueled by fireworks in a wood frame home. They can't just wave a magic wand and put the fire out. They had 2-3 lines set up fairly quickly. They would have been justified to go with a defensive approach...but they chose to go with a more aggressive interior attack, putting themselves at risk. It always takes a couple of minutes for them to really get going because they have to establish a steady water supply. They also had to get through the garage doors.
The fire spread from the garage to the main part of the home (not uncommon). They managed to get it under control and prevented the home from being totally engulfed. This was actually a pretty good job. Sometimes preventing the fire from taking the entire home or stopping it from spreading to adjacent homes is the best that can be done and is actually a win. That was the case in this situation. The firefighters did their job here.
Those fireworks should not have been stored in the garage. They should have been stored in a detached shed in a backyard...and perhaps should not have been in a neighborhood at all. Fireworks facilities (retail shops, production facilities) are zoned to be away from neighborhoods for a reason.
Never have liked attached garages but filling one full of fireworks sounds like a particularly bad idea.
I have an attached and it still makes me nervous. Swore I never would. Car is safe imo. I have one generator and one five-gallon extra can for it. I added hardwired smoke alarms into my main smoke alarms to make me feel better.
Amazing. A competent FD put out a fire almost immediately. You almost never see that on TH-cam.
They did a decent job considering that there were fireworks. The main objective is to maintain safety while putting out the fire. With fireworks involved the firefighters had to move slower so as to minimize risk of injuries or worse. The main thing is that hopefully nobody got hurt.
Thank you firefighters, I can’t imagine how hard this is in 90° weather 🙏🏼
Why I would never live in a house with an attached or underneath garage. Too risky. Separate garge you migh tlose the garage but sill have your home.
Insurance Co. Nope not gonna cover
why would they any moron that stores that much fireworks in there garage is asking for a problem
Oh yes, lets store the fireworks in the house. What could possibly go wrong.
and they probably recharge their electric bikes in garage too :)
I've never seen so much putting on/taking off SCBA's. This department needs to develop a PPE protocol.
I thought they had it pretty well knocked down until they opened the front door.
Smoke was banked to the floor with high heat as soon as the door opened. Fire extended out of the garage into liveable space behind it
The bomb squad actually wound up burning it to the ground in a controlled burn.
Fahrenheit 451?
Fireworks in the garage. Brilliant, but it's not insured.
That is always harder to watch when it’s a house that somebody had a lot of pride in making look nice.
A fireworks fire during a violent thunderstorm. You go boys awesome
Must've been quite a stockpile of fireworks 😮
Respect aux pompiers pourquoi utiliser des 🔥 artifices dans un garage
So lets just store a bunch of fireworks in the garage of a residential home. What a stellar idea!! 😂
Amen brother, and while we're at it don't store gas, or a car or an electric car or paint or solvents or batteries or battery chargers or have electricity in the garage.. just don't go in the garage.. ever.. stay out of the garage. Keep it empty. Problem solved
@@vinniescarpesio vinnie...fireworks....gunpowder...boom boom...not paint or you know...normal stuff that isn't designed for the sole purpose of explosions.
Got a little bit of everything going on here in this clip, Fire, Fireworks, Thunder
Massive amount of fireworks. Hmmmm.... That wouldn't be allowed in my state and probably isn't there. Maybe that is why the ATF is now involved.
We were all wondering… what state do you live in? And how did you reach that level of expertise?
ATF is garbage
Wow! Fireworks, thunder crashing, good fire attack. Great video!
No, horrible fire attack.
@@JB91710dude you are clueless on fire attack stick to what you know skiing and building cars loser
Definitely not a good hit. Not even close
Nonsense
Was a nice house.
insurance isnt going to cover this
Great video Keith!
Thanks Nick!
This was so avoidable. Storing fireworks in you home, obviously not a good idea.
I agree
And now it has become a burndown and neighbors must leave while happening, I am pissed off just thinking about it! Idiots!
@@cheryllynnmaloney1056 Yea so am I 🙄
@@cheryllynnmaloney1056 unannounced too... so insane
Guy's wife must be ragging on her husband about storing the fireworks in the basement.
Thank you for your service?
Oops. Wonder if those fireworks were legal.
If fireworks are illegal in this State the insurance probably won't pay claim.
Was thinking the same thing. They are going to be in deep trouble. This will get settled in court. NO way is insurance company going to give them a dime. Even if legal, they had a lot in that garage and may use that as an excuse NOT to pay. Just say they were not stored properly.
@@trvman1How can you legally store illegal commercial grade fireworks 🤔
Excellent footage 😊
Thanks Peter
Should stop quickly and grab the hydrant only takes a minute or two a lot less time hand jacking hose back to the hydrant. I know there is move engines coming but your out of water before they get there
I say good job. All the Monday guys CSD.
lol, just get the garage door out the way, task your self and do it
Dude was ready for the Fourth of July!
Son voluntarios?
Yes they are.
I think some of these people are asking dumb questions just because.
Thankfully the rains came.
Or this vid would be 3 hours longer.
Volunteer department??
Yes

How can you tell?
@@rescuegirlyo shut yo ass up. Looks like you couldent make it 5 mins on a fire like this.
Hey can't beat a fire and fireworks show too !
Glad everyone was ok
Hew is the more on hew keept fire works in the garage that was so dumb
What?!
@@stephenhanneken3041 Don't worry, I speak retard. He said: "He is the moron. He kept fireworks in the garage."
@@johnmf6096 I don't think he did. I think he said "Who is the moron who kept fireworks in the garage? That was so dumb."
I think those last 4 words refer to his own question.
Never understood the infatuation with fireworks?
Judging by the placard holder on the trailer I’d assume he’s in the pyrotechnics business.
He probably uses the trailer to transport them, and if so he’d have to placard it for explosives while traveling.
@@ritirons2726 Doesn't explain storing them in the house.
They banned them in Australia. Too many injuries. Just public displays now.
A very nice video.
Соплижуи какие-то
There was absolutely NO REASON to go interior with fireworks still going off in the garage. They should've brought a 2 1/2" line up, and used it first. I don't know why the officer at 4:48 thought it was a good idea to go interior with no hood on in a garage with fireworks still going off... SMH.
When did we stop catching the plug and laying the supply into an obviously working structure fire?
@@sivkovich Depends on the situation. If you KNOW you have a second engine close, they can take care of water supply. That's pretty much a standard SOP around here. The exception is when you know the next engine is going to be delayed, it's a fully involved structure requiring a master stream from the start, or there won't be room for a second engine to lay a line in. But the first in company communicates what's needed when they arrive.
Happy 4th of July 🎉🎉🎉! Oh wait......😮
Play with the bull you get the horns. Dumb dumb!
Looks like new siding and front porch. Wow!
I used to have relatives in Ansonia, Derby n Shelton
Wow, really?
My friend lives in Connecticut too, brother
WGAF
firemen are hot......
Great video
A BOOSTER LINE!?? Did they pull a booster line for a structure fire?? Man, I'd have the inch and a half off, at least for that!
No booster line... It was a 1 3/4"
Do they still have 1 1/2 hoses,
thought everyone switched over in the 1980's
We use 1.5 and 2.5
A 1.5 with a proper high-volume tip will flow more GPM at lower PSI than a 1.75 with a crappy combo nozzle. It is also lighter and easier to move inside a structure.
This video is getting more negativity than warranted. Lots of mistakes and some lessons to learn for sure, but they stopped the fire. It wasn't a start to finish master class on structural fire fighting, but I've certainly seen much worse.
Its youtube. Everyone hates everything.
Wow. What a beautiful house. I hope everyone is safe and insurance pays out.
Fortunately everybody is safe!
Don't hold your breath on the insurance payout. Outside of sparklers, fireworks are illegal in CT. If the amount involved was for personal use the company might still pay but cancel the policy. If investigation finds that the homeowner was involved in selling illegal fireworks though, the homeowner won't see a cent.
Insurance claim, AT VERY BEST, will be delayed for years and years. Most likely it will never pay out a cent. And I'm fine with that. Stupid homeowner, gotta have his boom booms.

Why u dont keep fire works in your garage.
5:08 putting mask over his nomex..? i don't think that is how we are suppose to wear that.
StIll works and keeps a seal. Some guys prefer it. Some don’t. Not the intended use though.
You get a seal that is all that matters!!!!
I was about to ask could the firefighter put water on the fireworks , good thing they waited till it claim down a bit
Foam not allowed??
Why is it that firefighters can't have their BA on and ready to go the moment you step off the truck? Not very professional when you see the house burning and a half dozen hosers kneeling in front of the flames putting their gear on.
Poor USA standards 😡
Latest NFPA standards call for a "clean cab." No SCBA in the cab.
Everyone can see the biggest problem!! To many white helmets!!!
What was done wrong?
White helmets are department chief's , the yellow ones are probationary/rookie firefighters. Chiefs have far more experience than probationary firefighters they know what to look for when it comes to extremely hazardous incidents like this where the garage was filled with fireworks and possibly other more deadly stuff such fuel for igniting fireworks like butane.
Too much micromanagement by the white helmets. They don't belong need to be in the fire building whether it be on the ground floor where the garage is located or the Upper Floor where the homeowners live . As I said micromanagement at its best. I know not every fire ground or department is perfect and I typically do not comment but in this situation I felt I needed to say something hopefully they learn by their mistakes and in the future they won't be doing what they managed to do on this particular fire
At least they’re doing something. I couldn’t be a volunteer firefighter. I’m not physically capable.
@@paulforman2280these white helmets are captains. Not all are chiefs. Their caps run white helmets. So why don’t you take your head out your ass and find something elve to “complain”
About lmao
Every year people burn there houses down with this shit
Were they using a tanker or hydrants for water service?
Hydrants
Awesome video your department has a great leadership 😊
It has NO competent leadership, or this fire would have been out in the first minute and the house would have been spared.
@@JB91710not all fires are Room and contents not all fires are out in 1 minute so know what you are talking about.
You haven’t the faintest idea what you are talking about.
These people are amateurs that haven’t the slightest idea what they are doing.
@rescuegirl
Yet the managed the job just fine and knocked the fire down in short order. But by all means please tell us what they did incorrectly in your expert opinion…
In stead of farting about with crowbars, put some water on the fire.
They were putting water on the fire pay attention and learn what the tools are called
If you actually paid attention & watched the same video, they were putting water on it, while trying to overhaul at the same time. Just spraying water randomly won't do anything, if it can't get through all the debris & only the materials that are actually burning. P.S, Crowbars? Lmao if you have no idea what you're talking about, then why look like a muppet trying to critique?
I hope all are safe and not injured. I am sure the husband is sick about it and will never make that mistake again.. Insurance should pay it because he paid the premiums..
except fireworks are illegal in CT so I highly doubt it
Needed that first floor line deployed quicker.

Our towns need fulltime paid firefighters. Volunteer dept so their best. But with all the growth and development, we need more.
It's easy...just open up your wallet. Open it up wide.
@@thomaschew2191 with the taxes we pay in this state, our government needs to step it up and do better and stop wasting resources on bs issues

Toik on a whole new dimension when they opened that front door! Just guessing that prob should have hapoened much earlier.
Tank Water in the garage should have stopped this in the first minute of arrival sparing the house completely.

@@cjritchie9701he doesn’t know what he is talking about he should stick to what he knows skiing and building cars the fireworks made everything 10x worse i don’t think anybody expected anything like that as you can see the crew in the garage is taking a beating.
Wondering why finished putting on gear @ fire ??
Volunteer FD. Many will drive their own vehicles to the fire and gear up on site.
Wy do they keep on all the flashing LED lamps wile the whole area is secured> No amber light used as work warning lights?
I work for a utility company and the amber lights are a joke!
Is this really the biggest problem you have in your life right now?
