Volunteer firefighters can be trained as well as professional firefighters. In fact, where I live alle firefighters get the same training. 2 mins 15 secs between arrival and first drips of water is way too slow. Should be less than 30 secs.
@@ivowitkamp7587 oh brother here we go… you don’t get the same training as someone who does it as full time job.. plus full timer typically get way more work cause they usually work in areas that actually get fires.
@@bobbys1984 you know nothing of where I live. All firefighters get the same firefighting-training. Yes profs get more experience due to more incidents in their area. But when a volunteer completed training, he can opt for a career in firefighting without additional training if there is a position available at a station with professionals. Also, during summer and winter holiday season, it is not uncommon that some volunteers actually do some of the 24hr shifts at a occupied station while some of the career-colleagues are enjoying a holiday with their family. Only those who opt to become driver-operator, diver (water-rescue), straw-roof specialism, nature fire fighting or chief etc get additional training to gain their specialism. Volunteers can also do those trainings to specialize, depending on what specialism are performed by their station. Around 80% of all firefighters in my country are volunteers.

I would be looking to partner with the local FD to share the videos for training purposes in exchange for enough of a uniform to not be hassled while documenting these incidents. Hat and a jacket maybe? Tell PD to go work on traffic!
Absolutely a horrible fire attack! Very slow to make entry and put water on the fire. A good department would have had a quick knock on this fire and spared the home of alot of damage.
i was just wondering when the guys at the front door just yacking no line advacentment no ladder work . i would be embaresed if it were company and it looks like they are chief .
Watching these, you never think about what the owners have to deal with in the aftermath. It's got to be devastating. Even if you haven't lost everything, it's still going to change their lives for at least a year just to find a temporary place to live, not to mention whatever was lost and irreplaceable.
You were fine . You never put yourself in harms way and never put yourself in any position to obstruct fire department operations. Just a cop on a power trip that didn’t like you not jumping to his unlawful directive. Good job standing your ground you did nothing wrong ! Anyway great video . Stay safe
I agree with you on this one. The videographer was safe from the fire & not in any ones way. I don't think cop was on a power trip, just wanted to keep people safe & from the area. I think we need people recrding these things as they often record when things go wrong & can be used later for training, that's very important.
It is the same everywhere. Cops get adrenalin up, think they should be doing something but there is nothing for them to do so they hassle the photographers.
@@philsmidwestclassiccars150 Unfortunately I believe it is a power trip. And worse than that, many of these small communities in NJ don't want their fire operations being recorded in order to protect themselves from lawsuits or criticism. It's just a sad fact that not enough money is given to these departments to be as good as they can be.
I have seen videos where the first engine to arrive pulls straight up in front, engineer jumps out and goes to the pump control. On the other side of the engine, fully geared up firefighters jump out, grab a hose and have water on the fire within 60 seconds. That usually does not happen everywhere, including here. It is critical to get water on the fire immediately.
You are making my point. I did say "engine". They all need to have a supply on on-board water to use while hooking to a hydrant. Hopefully there are hydrants. @@whatsittooya-r8k
First due in this case didn’t have a tank. Second due did. They were waiting on water supply. So with the order the trucks came and their equipment on scene they had an excellent arrival to water time.
@1540 If we are using these videos for training, then to all young and aspiring firefighters that is exactly how not to take a window safely. Gravity + broken glass means dont position yourself directly below it. When time is no longer a factor, take the extra moments to ensure you keep yourself and your crew safe.
2:30 Ryan you handled that like a pro. This officer was probably unfamiliar with your consistent coverage. Men who call other people "boss" like that, especially cops. Cringe
The only thing that is cringeworthy here is the goober telling us “ it’s rippin several times and other asinine comments like “ it’s chugging “ . The cop was doing his job. Sometimes you get away with standing on the lawn of the burning house and film … other times you gotta stand across the street . We still understand what’s happening
I've been to a lot of fires in NJ. The cops are tyrants. Its as simple as that. Sometimes they will yellow tape an entire block just to avoid operations being recorded. Frequently nothing to do with safety@@BigDuke-md8ec
Yes they got water in it but it took 5 mins. We have water on a fire within 60 seconds of arrival with high pressure reels while hydrants are hooked up. Something that US fire departments got rid of for some reason 🤷🏼♂️
A question... at the 1:00 mark someone arriving at the scene says in part "it is fully involved". From what I can see this fire is mostly exterior and the fire does not appear to involve the "full" structure. For the firefighters out there, is this considered fully involved?
NOT at all, no one did a 360, no one checked if the structure was occupied, no one even went to the front door, If PD was there first the door should have been opened if they evacuated.
Let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok right let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated great job great catches as usual still going strong keep them safe out there way to go love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock ! Joe
Aside from primary search, I'm not sure what they would have accomplished. The fire was primarily on the delta exterior with extention to the attic space, neither of which are really amenible to interior attack. I think their tactics were sound, though the execution could have been smoother.
Just a note...the man recording is NOT impeding any work of first responders. The cops have NO right to tell him stop recording or to move away. The police need to learn that bystanders can record all day long as long as they are not in danger or impeding. Our news reporters get hassled all the time by cops who think they can remove the press.
The paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock still going strong keep them safe out there let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok right ? Joe
@@stevechisamore8691 are you talking about me, been a career firefighter for over a decade. And watch the volunteer model fail time and time again in certain areas.
@stevechisamore8691 I love when people like you make insecure comments like yours while not explaining where and how people show that they have no clue. Aren't you projecting just a little?
Fire spreads so much faster than it did 20 years ago! Can you believe it doubles in size every 30 seconds! It never ceases to amaze me, I never trust it, and I always underestimate it when going to attack. Stay safe boys
From what I understand these are all volunteer departments. It was 2:30 in the morning, these guys are all home sleeping. They have to get up, get to the fire station, put on their gear and get to the scene however far away it is. It appears the first arriving quint may have had an issue getting its pump in gear. Even so most quints only carry at most 500 gallons of water, so waiting for another truck to establish a water supply is time consuming. They did an initial quick knockdown and then protected the exposure. You guys with all of your negative comments have no idea what the hell you're talking about, so until you make the commitment and get certified as a fire fighter and don the 60 plus pounds of gear you have to wear to go in the hot zone of a structure fire don't criticize those that DID. By the way, I am a certified engineer in a small volunteer department so I DO have a clue.
Problem is, volunteer or not these guys lack in training. It's evident in literally every single video. Being a volunteer departments does not excuse you from not knowing how to do your job quickly & efficiently. Some of us with negative comments definitely know what we're talking about, and it shouldn't have taken a ladder pipe (in the wrong setting at that) to put this fire out. A crew or two with an 1 3/4 or two, some hooks, & some good ole fashioned aggressive INTERIOR firefighting should have no problem putting this fire out. Meanwhile they had a ladder pipe up with a crew inside, a guy spraying water on the siding from outside doing absolutely nothing (when he switched from exposure protection to watering the siding of the involved house.) That's not good practice, volunteer or not.
"From what I understand these are all volunteer departments. It was 2:30 in the morning, these guys are all home sleeping." I volunteered a long time then added the career part. The remaining volunteer services need to adapt or die unfortunately. Lightweight type V construction, plus all the polymers used in modern construction and household goods, takes away the luxury of time from the FD and, more importantly the victims (homeowner), that was once afforded by dimensional lumber. Fires burn hotter, the smoke is WAY more toxic, and the structure does not maintain stability as long. Live-in programs are one way our volunteer companies are trying to help ensure there is a crew at the station when minutes matter. You mentioned engines/quints bringing 500 gallons of water. They need to evaluate the response area and know what resources are available/needed. 500 gallons is appropriate when you know the next in engine is right behind you or you have a reliable hydrant system. Quints are appropriate in certain instances but in this particular case it is showing its achilles heel. If the department is resource limited then they shouldnt be showing up in an engine with less than 750-1000 gallons and most definitely not using a quint as their first due piece. The value in a quint is the ability for it to be either a special service piece or a fast attack engine. They SUCK at operating as both at the same time. That problem is magnified when there is a lack of consistent training. Volunteers are still an integral part of the community but many of them fall victim to complacency, failure to adapt, and inability to maintain appropriate (safe) staffing. I'm by no means a volunteer hater being that I was/am one, but VFDs need to realize when their customers call they are expecting a professional quality of service. It is incumbent upon the leadership and crews of volunteer companies to stay trained, adaptable, and responsive to the communities needs which is a monumental task given the shape of our economy and the cost of living. People have to work and have less time to volunteer/train. This is why career departments are having to come in and take over, because it is in the best interest of the safety of the community. I empathize with what you are saying and there are a vast majority of people on here that don't even have half a clue what it takes but there are flaws that the common person could point out in what you are saying that are legitimate issues.
Wheres the interior push? Exposure protection that was right for the most part? That master stream seemed to effectively push the fire through the whole attic…
Likely the house and contents are a complete loss. A family I know lost their home to fire just after Christmas. Fire started with the electrical plug to the refrigerator. While the house was structurally okay - fire did not get through the roof or into the second floor, there was nothing salvagable due to smoke and water damage. They decided to tear down the remains and build new from scratch.
House and contents were a loss? It was an exterior fire with extension into the attic. There’s a hell of a lot of house and contends that can still be saved.
@@BrianM1023 dude this is knock down..fire was embarrassingly handled. the fact that it start outside and made it into the house is black and white proof why in most areas down the shore, you should have a paid service. but nothing changes down there, the circus continues to ensue.
@@bobbys1984 why don’t you go down there and volunteer there. It seems like you’re quite an authority on fire fighting. I’m sure they would appreciate somebody with all of your expertise helping them out. It’s very enjoyable, being a volunteer firefighter being pulled away from your family events on a regular basis, spending countless hours training, being awaken in the middle of the night to go do manual labor that keeps you up all night long. So you can go to your job the next day with no sleep. And you get to do this for no pay.
I’m still trying to figure out why 2 ladder trucks are in front of the house. I understand you may have to use the aerial but that can be done from a different angle
Omg why did they set the stick? One maaaaybe two lines interior could have tapped out that attic fire. Now you used 10-20x the amount of water to extinguish the fire. What didnt burn flooded.
This is a good fire team. It seems that most videos are showing what NOT to do, whether it be stand around and figure it out, or just slightly inexperienced crew. Hats off to the ladies and gentlemen who do this daily. I could never attempt such a feat. You should be revered and applauded. Great job!
Not a professional firefighter but as a Brit one wonders why so many units respond to a house fire. Most of those attending seem to be spectators. We have a phrase: "All the gear no idea".
I don't understand the strategy of only aiming the water at one specific point and leaving it there for a long long time meanwhile other spots on the roof are erupting in flames. The back of the house has flames but seems to be totally ignored. I'm not pretending to critique it, I'm just asking why.
Not trying to Monday morning quarterback… judging by what I can see in the video an exposure/exterior line is obviously need which was taken care of relatively quickly. That being said it seems to be a common theme in this area of a complete lack of aggressive firefighting. I line through the front door and a search should have been a priority that was done much earlier in the incident. The ladder pipe seems that it just pushed the fire through the attic. Again nothing against the members it seems like there isn’t an aggressive firefighting culture in this area.
If you watch closely enough, you can see them shooting water through holes in the roof from the inside WHILE the ladder pipe is in operation. Which is absolutely asinine to me. You never have crews operating inside while the ladder pipe is flowing....
agreed, but their biggest problem in that area is response time. Everyone of this kids videos him and the cops are on scene waiting a lifetime for the first company to arrive.
What happened to going interior and making a hole in ceiling putting out attic. I'm sure master stream ruined most items on 2nd floor. Great hustle by first in crew.
The police dont have a clue what to do around a fire. The firemen just stand around and look at it all they needed was a deck gun to knock down 90 percent of the fire. Ladder trucks are useless when first getting to a fire.
aaaand once again those pesky roofs keep the water from the ladder pipe off the fire ---amazing how they shed the water -almost like they were designed to. You know -its a shame there isnt any way to get some water on the attic fire from down below -if there was only some way to get the water upstairs and maybe some kind of tool --like a hook on a pole to pull some of that ceiling down --- oh well --good job boys --you fought that red devil
2 full minutes from arrival before water on. That's just terribly slow. We have water on with 30 seconds of arrival or we have serious questions to answer. We must have mains supply to the appliance within 2 minutes. May not have made a lot of difference to this fire, but it's still ludicrously slow. The other consideration here is the branch operator. Opening up with such a wide fog directly at the wall will just pull more oxygen into the fire. Crack the branch to ensure pressure and pattern then lay the water across the fire. Serves two purposes in cooling the fire base down as well as providing direct extinguishment. Again, probably wouldn't have made much difference in this case, but using correct technique every time makes it automatic, for when it will make a difference.
if your first piece doesn't have water, it has no business being sent first due to a structure fire plus, that ladder had a pump and probably a tank. im sure it had at least 3 min worth of water to get going. Of course, Brick FD is the slowest FD on the planet, so they likely couldnt have relayed or gotten a hydrant hookup quick enough anyway.@@Brian13549
Nice job as usual. You should make yourself a Statewide Press Pass..too bad the siding was not asbestos, would have slowed the spread :-). Looks like the power was never killed to the house or block.
just wondering WHY they were telling the PHOTOG shooting this GREAT footage that he HAD to leave? im guessing you WERE with ONE of the FC that were on scene? yes?
First line off should have been through the front door of the fire dwelling to protect the rest of the house and stop it from spreading through the attic space. Second line off attacking exterior fire. Second in engine stretch and deal with exposures. No forcible entry, ground ladders or a search from the first arriving companies… That first line through the front door and up the stairs with two guys with hooks is the difference between making a good stop while it was at the Charlie/Delta corner and burning the roof off the place and destroying the occupants personal belongings in their bedrooms like clothes, shoes, coats, etc. Not to mention things we keep in our bedrooms that are irreplaceable. These fire companies get a thumbs down. They could have done a lot better and saved most of this house.
upon arrival that fire was already through the attic first off was protect exposure and get that shed out you can see it has already burned out the corner of the house would not have done any good to go interior right away and let the exposure go up
@@jays106yeah the corner of the house was heavily involved but what difference does that make?? So any dwelling structure that is heavily involved in one area is now a total write off… fuck outta here. That first arriving apparatus had enough manpower to get two lines in service right off the bat. But instead they wanted to play hit it hard from the yard. Also in reference to the exposure… take the time to look up times til involvement in flames rather than just sustaining damage from radiant heat of basic building materials like siding. You’ll find that your exposure is not your number one concern. Most importantly, you saying that hitting the exposure from the exterior is the first thing that should be done tells me all I need to know about you.
@@coinpusherr1558 most mowers are bye cord!except the new ones and they use the type like what most tools use and those aren't the ones starting the fires!
Remember volunteer fire departments are there to stop the fire from burning the town down, they are a not gonna to to risk there lives to save material things. They will however put there lives on the line to save a life. So give a break unless you can do better.
@dannycostello3129, I would like to say that I disagree with you. I was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years in a 2 square mile town and we put our heart and soul into trying to save people's property. There seems to be a myth among the uneducated public that volunteer firefighters are not as good as paid. Whether you are paid or not, you still have to take the same classes at the same fire academy, at least where I am from. We were also encouraged to continue our education, which a lot of us did. We had an abysmal fire budget, but we made do with what we had.
@@gregggoss2210 Where im from the volunteer academy is 2 days a week 3 hours each for 2 months. The full time academy is monday-friday 8-4 to for 12 weeks. Same certificates but different products.
@@hihfty , my memory isn't what it once was, but I believe when I took Firefighter 1, it was 120 hours of training. The same academy was used by both volunteers and paid. I'm sure things have changed since then. It's been 26 years since I took F.F.1.
You should see the old siding that was used on older homes from the 1930’s-1960’s It was called Insulbrick.. or as us older generation firefighters used to call..”Gasoline Siding” It was siding made of fiberboard and bitumen usually with a crushed stone coating exterior like roofing shingles. It was a very inexpensive construction material back in the day and was visually appealing. It can still be seeing in older cities, towns. Most of which was just covered over with aluminum siding and vinyl siding came after that.
@@concretefireman8009 I started my construction career in the industrial area's of the north east back in the 80's... Cement and steel area's. I remember insulbrick. Most houses were balloon framed. People would use it to cover old wood siding then we would run vertical furring strips over it and install vinyl siding. Sometime we would use Styrofoam sheets before the furring. Nothing but a big pile of fuel but thought nothing of it back then. The problem with vinyl siding today is the houses are being built so close together that when one catches on fire, it melts the siding off 3 other houses.
I mean look around your own home. Our homes are full of plastics and other petroleum products. I saw that the average time for a whole room to go up used to be 30-35 minutes 50-60 years ago, and now its often well under 10 minutes. Used to be natural fabrics and such would take time to catch. Progress!
The average time for a room to go into “flashover” used to be 17 mins 40+ years ago.. that’s the statistics. Now as the commentor mentioned due to all the plastics, synthetics from construction materials to household furnishings and objects that proliferate in 21st century time that time to flashover now is on average UNDER 3 MINUTES!!! Working smoke detectors are your first line of defense. 2nd line of defense is sleep with your bedroom doors closes. That gives you breathable air from the heat, smoke and toxic gases for better survival until help arrives. The difference between a closed bedroom door can be 1,000 degrees! Have an escape plan, practice it.
Rumor has it back in the booming build time of brick, a six pack got you past your building inspection. My house has drywall as sheathing I’m in the north end of town.
Once again North Jersey cops show you who is in charge. Next time tell him he is live on Facebook, and ask him if he ever heard of the First and Fourth Amendments. It's none of his business who you are if you aren't doing anything wrong. Do you wear PPE with a hat that says PHOTOJOURNALIST on it? Might be worth the investment. These clowns don't know the value of having good publicity versus bad. You might unknowingly get an image of an arsonist surveying their own handiwork that could help with a prosecution some day. I've said it before and I'll say it again, your counterparts in NYC could walk right into a burning building and NYPD wouldn't stop them.
Agreed but not here to start more issues then already going on & respect the cops 100%, wish they would just secure the scene and do what needed yelling at me to move 2 feet just seems useless. Always seems to be in Brick Township.
Interactions with the PD seems to be a common occurrence in your videos. Just get something that identifies you as a fireground photographer or department photographer and they’ll most likely leave you alone. They’ll probably begin to recognize you each time you arrive on scene too. Do the departments in and around brick support your work? Get one of them to back you up as the department photographer and get an old helmet and simple ID tag. A guy that consistently photographs and records incidents near me just has a traffic safety vest that says photographer on it and he has no problems at all because he blends right in with everyone else.
So many things wrong with this from the get go. To long for water, to long to protect exposures way to long to get inside and what is the deal with the guy on the hose line with no helmet.
Did I see that correctly, at around the 12:45 minute mark, they had crews inside, doing interior firefighting operations WHILE you're using a ladder pipe? How STUPID can you be? That's a great way to injure or kill firefighters. That should be like Intro to firefighting 101. I've seen it happen because of a irresponsible IC, and it sent 3 guys to the hospital (luckily it wasn't more.) TBH, a aerial master stream shouldn't have even been needed on this, a well trained crew with a 1 3/4 (or two) should have been able to handle this fairly easily with minimal property damage to the rest of the structure. Except now everything on the bottom 2 floors is ruined from water damage. I don't need to be an ass, but come on guys. Do better, be better.
@@jerseyshorefireresponse At the 12:45 mark, you can clearly see a hose stream shooting through a hole that burnt thorough in the roof. Look above the 3rd window, above the porch/patio overhang. I mean the door might be open to vent, but there's also massive holes in the roof & the fire is in the attic, so I'd be willing to bet my next paycheck that conditions inside were pretty clear. There's plenty of other things I could point out that show lack of training but I'm trying to be nice.

Just a cop on a power trip that didn’t like you not jumping to his unlawful directive. Good job standing your ground you did nothing wrong ! Anyway great video . Stay safe
I agree with you on this one. The videographer was safe from the fire & not in any ones way. I don't think cop was on a power trip, just wanted to keep people safe & from the area. I think we need people recrding these things as they often record when things go wrong & can be used later for training, that's very important.
It is the same everywhere. Cops get adrenalin up, think they should be doing something but there is nothing for them to do so they hassle the photographers.
@@philsmidwestclassiccars150 Unfortunately I believe it is a power trip. And worse than that, many of these small communities in NJ don't want their fire operations being recorded in order to protect themselves from lawsuits or criticism. It's just a sad fact that not enough money is given to these departments to be as good as they can be.
@@ecw5394 these districts could pay firefighters anytime they want and they certainly can afford it with the amount of tax revenue they’re receiving.
Yes, the cop was definitely on an authoritarian power trip. You were not doing anything wrong. Thank you for continuing to record.
I have seen videos where the first engine to arrive pulls straight up in front, engineer jumps out and goes to the pump control. On the other side of the engine, fully geared up firefighters jump out, grab a hose and have water on the fire within 60 seconds. That usually does not happen everywhere, including here. It is critical to get water on the fire immediately.
Your obviously not in the fire service, most truck companies dont have a tank or pump, there supplied by an engine.
You are making my point. I did say "engine". They all need to have a supply on on-board water to use while hooking to a hydrant. Hopefully there are hydrants. @@whatsittooya-r8k
You are. They are.@@whatsittooya-r8k
First due in this case didn’t have a tank. Second due did. They were waiting on water supply. So with the order the trucks came and their equipment on scene they had an excellent arrival to water time.
@user-tt1ge1yi3q this truck does have a supply as you clearly see. I'll believe it if it was a Tiller truck
How long does a PASS alarm have to sound on the scene of a fire before someone addresses it?!?!?!?
i often wonder same thing! my old chief would have had our hide for that
FDNY are still running studies on this, and they have yet to reach a number!
Very happy to see that ladder truck being utilized for what it's designed for.
@1540 If we are using these videos for training, then to all young and aspiring firefighters that is exactly how not to take a window safely. Gravity + broken glass means dont position yourself directly below it. When time is no longer a factor, take the extra moments to ensure you keep yourself and your crew safe.
Brick FD is a complete "how not to" example.
You can see the radiant heat starting to affect the next house on the D side. We who watch these videos have no idea about how hot this gets.
How.....VERY..............TRUE!.........KUDOS!!
2:30 Ryan you handled that like a pro. This officer was probably unfamiliar with your consistent coverage.
Men who call other people "boss" like that, especially cops. Cringe
I totally agree, boss!
@@mgratk lmao
Alright chief
The only thing that is cringeworthy here is the goober telling us “ it’s rippin several times and other asinine comments like “ it’s chugging “ . The cop was doing his job. Sometimes you get away with standing on the lawn of the burning house and film … other times you gotta stand across the street . We still understand what’s happening
Hey boss let me tell you what you are going to do. And yes, we pay their salary so we are boss.
I've been to a lot of fires in NJ. The cops are tyrants. Its as simple as that. Sometimes they will yellow tape an entire block just to avoid operations being recorded. Frequently nothing to do with safety@@BigDuke-md8ec
They rush to get there in the trucks only to stand around to watch it burn. Wow.
FALSE TROLL.. THERE'S WAS WATER ON THE FIRE JUST KEEP WATCHING
Yes they got water in it but it took 5 mins. We have water on a fire within 60 seconds of arrival with high pressure reels while hydrants are hooked up. Something that US fire departments got rid of for some reason 🤷🏼♂️
@@nickeustace9495 It took just under three minutes. But still tooo long. Don't make the drama bigger than it is.
A question... at the 1:00 mark someone arriving at the scene says in part "it is fully involved". From what I can see this fire is mostly exterior and the fire does not appear to involve the "full" structure. For the firefighters out there, is this considered fully involved?
Think he meant only the D side
NOT at all, no one did a 360, no one checked if the structure was occupied, no one even went to the front door, If PD was there first the door should have been opened if they evacuated.
“Fully involved” is probably the most overused terminology in the fire service, followed closely by “first due”
@@whatsittooya-r8k you’re saying PD should have opened the door?
He was implying that the D side was fully involved, not the structure.
Let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok right let's stop and honor and appreciate the paramedics and firemen who proudly serve us your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated great job great catches as usual still going strong keep them safe out there way to go love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock ! Joe
You've already posted that a month ago. It's still as bad as it was then.
Let's stop and get an education before we let everybody know we're sub-literate.
got to love when police do that not even in the way keep it up love the videos
While they were stretching that first line someone should have been making entry to fire building ready to go interior with second line
Like who would go inside a burning house fire? That's dangerous
Aside from primary search, I'm not sure what they would have accomplished. The fire was primarily on the delta exterior with extention to the attic space, neither of which are really amenible to interior attack.
I think their tactics were sound, though the execution could have been smoother.
Looks like someone put the lawnmower away in a rush or something. That shed looks to be the origin.
Or greasy rags.
No I did not, it was my outdoor outlet that cause the fire to my house
@@MichaelBaughman-f3w sorry for the fire. Please read my comment again and pay attention to the end where it reads “or something”
Just a note...the man recording is NOT impeding any work of first responders. The cops have NO right to tell him stop recording or to move away. The police need to learn that bystanders can record all day long as long as they are not in danger or impeding. Our news reporters get hassled all the time by cops who think they can remove the press.
Correct! Sometimes cops are uneducated & that’s ok, just no need to scream at me.
The paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock still going strong keep them safe out there let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok right ? Joe
Appreciate what? Allowing another house to burn down?
@@bobbys1984 That's what these people get for not demanding a career fire dept. in an area that could EASILY support them.
I love when people who don’t have a clue what they’re talking about comment
@@stevechisamore8691 are you talking about me, been a career firefighter for over a decade. And watch the volunteer model fail time and time again in certain areas.
@stevechisamore8691 I love when people like you make insecure comments like yours while not explaining where and how people show that they have no clue. Aren't you projecting just a little?
Fire spreads so much faster than it did 20 years ago! Can you believe it doubles in size every 30 seconds! It never ceases to amaze me, I never trust it, and I always underestimate it when going to attack. Stay safe boys
Thats because new homes are made out of sawdust and glue. Open floor plans also allow it to spread faster.
How about some basic firefighting, forcible entry and search for victims before master stream. Just saying....
🤡🤡👈👈
Basic fire fighting would be to use a deck gun.
From what I understand these are all volunteer departments. It was 2:30 in the morning, these guys are all home sleeping. They have to get up, get to the fire station, put on their gear and get to the scene however far away it is. It appears the first arriving quint may have had an issue getting its pump in gear. Even so most quints only carry at most 500 gallons of water, so waiting for another truck to establish a water supply is time consuming. They did an initial quick knockdown and then protected the exposure.
You guys with all of your negative comments have no idea what the hell you're talking about, so until you make the commitment and get certified as a fire fighter and don the 60 plus pounds of gear you have to wear to go in the hot zone of a structure fire don't criticize those that DID. By the way, I am a certified engineer in a small volunteer department so I DO have a clue.
Well said sir
Problem is, volunteer or not these guys lack in training. It's evident in literally every single video. Being a volunteer departments does not excuse you from not knowing how to do your job quickly & efficiently. Some of us with negative comments definitely know what we're talking about, and it shouldn't have taken a ladder pipe (in the wrong setting at that) to put this fire out. A crew or two with an 1 3/4 or two, some hooks, & some good ole fashioned aggressive INTERIOR firefighting should have no problem putting this fire out. Meanwhile they had a ladder pipe up with a crew inside, a guy spraying water on the siding from outside doing absolutely nothing (when he switched from exposure protection to watering the siding of the involved house.) That's not good practice, volunteer or not.
"From what I understand these are all volunteer departments. It was 2:30 in the morning, these guys are all home sleeping." I volunteered a long time then added the career part. The remaining volunteer services need to adapt or die unfortunately. Lightweight type V construction, plus all the polymers used in modern construction and household goods, takes away the luxury of time from the FD and, more importantly the victims (homeowner), that was once afforded by dimensional lumber. Fires burn hotter, the smoke is WAY more toxic, and the structure does not maintain stability as long. Live-in programs are one way our volunteer companies are trying to help ensure there is a crew at the station when minutes matter.
You mentioned engines/quints bringing 500 gallons of water. They need to evaluate the response area and know what resources are available/needed. 500 gallons is appropriate when you know the next in engine is right behind you or you have a reliable hydrant system. Quints are appropriate in certain instances but in this particular case it is showing its achilles heel. If the department is resource limited then they shouldnt be showing up in an engine with less than 750-1000 gallons and most definitely not using a quint as their first due piece. The value in a quint is the ability for it to be either a special service piece or a fast attack engine. They SUCK at operating as both at the same time. That problem is magnified when there is a lack of consistent training.
Volunteers are still an integral part of the community but many of them fall victim to complacency, failure to adapt, and inability to maintain appropriate (safe) staffing. I'm by no means a volunteer hater being that I was/am one, but VFDs need to realize when their customers call they are expecting a professional quality of service. It is incumbent upon the leadership and crews of volunteer companies to stay trained, adaptable, and responsive to the communities needs which is a monumental task given the shape of our economy and the cost of living. People have to work and have less time to volunteer/train. This is why career departments are having to come in and take over, because it is in the best interest of the safety of the community.
I empathize with what you are saying and there are a vast majority of people on here that don't even have half a clue what it takes but there are flaws that the common person could point out in what you are saying that are legitimate issues.
Wheres the interior push? Exposure protection that was right for the most part? That master stream seemed to effectively push the fire through the whole attic…
Took so long to get water on the fire, but good job getting it out.
Good video, especially given because that cop didn’t like you being there!
Cops don't like cameras
Modern fire trucks have water inside them so you can start fighting the fire almost immediately. Water is the most important element in firefighting.
Ladder trucks dont have tanks right? So they NEED hydrant flowing for their lines to work?
Likely the house and contents are a complete loss. A family I know lost their home to fire just after Christmas. Fire started with the electrical plug to the refrigerator. While the house was structurally okay - fire did not get through the roof or into the second floor, there was nothing salvagable due to smoke and water damage. They decided to tear down the remains and build new from scratch.
House and contents were a loss? It was an exterior fire with extension into the attic. There’s a hell of a lot of house and contends that can still be saved.
@@BrianM1023 dude this is knock down..fire was embarrassingly handled. the fact that it start outside and made it into the house is black and white proof why in most areas down the shore, you should have a paid service. but nothing changes down there, the circus continues to ensue.
@@bobbys1984 why don’t you go down there and volunteer there. It seems like you’re quite an authority on fire fighting. I’m sure they would appreciate somebody with all of your expertise helping them out. It’s very enjoyable, being a volunteer firefighter being pulled away from your family events on a regular basis, spending countless hours training, being awaken in the middle of the night to go do manual labor that keeps you up all night long. So you can go to your job the next day with no sleep. And you get to do this for no pay.
Wonder what the house insurance rates are like if that is their fire protection standards
Great video to bad for the family😮 3:05
I’m still trying to figure out why 2 ladder trucks are in front of the house. I understand you may have to use the aerial but that can be done from a different angle
Position don’t park
One may be a quint which is essentially a ladder pumper combo.
Where is the ff on the nozzle's helmet?
Omg why did they set the stick? One maaaaybe two lines interior could have tapped out that attic fire. Now you used 10-20x the amount of water to extinguish the fire. What didnt burn flooded.
This is a good fire team. It seems that most videos are showing what NOT to do, whether it be stand around and figure it out, or just slightly inexperienced crew. Hats off to the ladies and gentlemen who do this daily. I could never attempt such a feat. You should be revered and applauded. Great job!
These guys SUCK. Sincerely, they're bad, obviously no emphasis on training.
Not a professional firefighter but as a Brit one wonders why so many units respond to a house fire. Most of those attending seem to be spectators. We have a phrase: "All the gear no idea".
I’m pretty sure that British firefighter are never going to complain about having too much manpower. It allows crews to cycle in and out.
So how did this start?
Outdoor outlet
I don't understand the strategy of only aiming the water at one specific point and leaving it there for a long long time meanwhile other spots on the roof are erupting in flames. The back of the house has flames but seems to be totally ignored. I'm not pretending to critique it, I'm just asking why.
USA firedepartment are so slow, way dont they start working at araivel?
How long to put water on this ???
Not trying to Monday morning quarterback… judging by what I can see in the video an exposure/exterior line is obviously need which was taken care of relatively quickly. That being said it seems to be a common theme in this area of a complete lack of aggressive firefighting. I line through the front door and a search should have been a priority that was done much earlier in the incident. The ladder pipe seems that it just pushed the fire through the attic. Again nothing against the members it seems like there isn’t an aggressive firefighting culture in this area.
Some FD jurisdiction’s SOP’s are against aggressive firefighting, sadly.
If you watch closely enough, you can see them shooting water through holes in the roof from the inside WHILE the ladder pipe is in operation. Which is absolutely asinine to me. You never have crews operating inside while the ladder pipe is flowing....
agreed, but their biggest problem in that area is response time. Everyone of this kids videos him and the cops are on scene waiting a lifetime for the first company to arrive.
@@justanotherguy1110 thats true, but this fire should have never had to utilize a master stream.
@@bobbys1984 I agree with you there....
I swear Jersey has so many fire calls for some reason, I see them all the time.
How is the electric still working
You got to show up with ALL of your gear on. Be ready to fight fire and save lives.
Just curious - volunteer, career or combo departments?
100% volunteers
What do firefighters do to help neighbors avoid getting flames to their homes? I would be so worried!
What happened to going interior and making a hole in ceiling putting out attic. I'm sure master stream ruined most items on 2nd floor. Great hustle by first in crew.
When I was Vol FF one of the first things we did was get up to the clevis and cut the power to the structure and shut down the gas meter also.
My local fire department would be there before the ads finish playing 😂
The police dont have a clue what to do around a fire. The firemen just stand around and look at it all they needed was a deck gun to knock down 90 percent of the fire. Ladder trucks are useless when first getting to a fire.
Why is the power on in the house?
Nice get!
Hahahaha...
The firemen are like yup the house is F_^ked, now let's start doing our job... lol
How did the outside of the house catch on fire first?
Because it was an electrical fire that was in that side of the house
Darn that a real going job, the amount of exposures.
aaaand once again those pesky roofs keep the water from the ladder pipe off the fire ---amazing how they shed the water -almost like they were designed to. You know -its a shame there isnt any way to get some water on the attic fire from down below -if there was only some way to get the water upstairs and maybe some kind of tool --like a hook on a pole to pull some of that ceiling down --- oh well --good job boys --you fought that red devil
Thank you firefighters for being out there in these hard times. God bless you all.😊
Thank you capitan obvious,for your commentary!
Supply line in fast, however, wondering sbout inside attack, & why no tillerman on gun ,??😢
I'm more than sure the neighbors will all pitch in and let you use their garden hoses in the meantime.
That's how Jersey rolls!
2 full minutes from arrival before water on. That's just terribly slow. We have water on with 30 seconds of arrival or we have serious questions to answer. We must have mains supply to the appliance within 2 minutes.
May not have made a lot of difference to this fire, but it's still ludicrously slow.
The other consideration here is the branch operator. Opening up with such a wide fog directly at the wall will just pull more oxygen into the fire. Crack the branch to ensure pressure and pattern then lay the water across the fire. Serves two purposes in cooling the fire base down as well as providing direct extinguishment.
Again, probably wouldn't have made much difference in this case, but using correct technique every time makes it automatic, for when it will make a difference.
That's because the first piece of apparatus doesn't carry water so they had to wait for a water source.
if your first piece doesn't have water, it has no business being sent first due to a structure fire
plus, that ladder had a pump and probably a tank. im sure it had at least 3 min worth of water to get going. Of course, Brick FD is the slowest FD on the planet, so they likely couldnt have relayed or gotten a hydrant hookup quick enough anyway.@@Brian13549
@@Brian13549 the first unit was a Quint. It has water and a pump. You can put a lot of fire out with 500 gallons of tank water.
Nice job as usual. You should make yourself a Statewide Press Pass..too bad the siding was not asbestos, would have slowed the spread :-). Looks like the power was never killed to the house or block.
OMG what did I just watch?
Might be a good promo vid for the cement siding people! Look at that plastic siding go!
I need you OUTTA HEYA! In case the house explodes right?
Why does the fire get bigger with water? I'm so confused! Is it because the burst of oxygen from the roof breaking under the pressure of the water?
just wondering WHY they were telling the PHOTOG shooting this GREAT footage that he HAD to leave? im guessing you WERE with ONE of the FC that were on scene? yes?
First line off should have been through the front door of the fire dwelling to protect the rest of the house and stop it from spreading through the attic space. Second line off attacking exterior fire. Second in engine stretch and deal with exposures. No forcible entry, ground ladders or a search from the first arriving companies… That first line through the front door and up the stairs with two guys with hooks is the difference between making a good stop while it was at the Charlie/Delta corner and burning the roof off the place and destroying the occupants personal belongings in their bedrooms like clothes, shoes, coats, etc. Not to mention things we keep in our bedrooms that are irreplaceable. These fire companies get a thumbs down. They could have done a lot better and saved most of this house.
upon arrival that fire was already through the attic first off was protect exposure and get that shed out you can see it has already burned out the corner of the house would not have done any good to go interior right away and let the exposure go up
@@jays106yeah the corner of the house was heavily involved but what difference does that make?? So any dwelling structure that is heavily involved in one area is now a total write off… fuck outta here. That first arriving apparatus had enough manpower to get two lines in service right off the bat. But instead they wanted to play hit it hard from the yard. Also in reference to the exposure… take the time to look up times til involvement in flames rather than just sustaining damage from radiant heat of basic building materials like siding. You’ll find that your exposure is not your number one concern. Most importantly, you saying that hitting the exposure from the exterior is the first thing that should be done tells me all I need to know about you.
What's a first and second attack? I'm 17 and want to be a firefighter.
I couldn’t watch anymore beyond 5:31 .. the house is burning down and where the heck is the water ??
Great video. What a great job by the fire fighters. They wasted no time getting this fire out. They showed their dedication to their job...🤗🤗
You sure do love your heroes.
I wonder if thier was an ebike in that small shed that i think is were the fire started isn't it?
That's what I was thinking, or a electric lawn mower..
Or an unattended grill
@@coinpusherr1558 most mowers are bye cord!except the new ones and they use the type like what most tools use and those aren't the ones starting the fires!
Lithium Ion batteries the ones found in our rechargeable everything these days are a growing concern and cause for fires.
No it wasn’t an e-bike or grill that cause my house to burn down
Who is the guy videotaping, much respect but how does he get that close to the fire
Anyone cut the power? Front porch light is on the entirety of video, no utilities controlled?
I wish they would tell what started the fire in these videos it would give us an idea.
If that aerial can pump water, it needs to be raised and ready
Remember volunteer fire departments are there to stop the fire from burning the town down, they are a not gonna to to risk there lives to save material things. They will however put there lives on the line to save a life. So give a break unless you can do better.
yea hire a bunch of firemen who will go inside and put the fire out. anyone can stand on a lawn
@@thomasprociuk9079 agreed --that 2nd line should have been straight up the stairs -
@dannycostello3129, I would like to say that I disagree with you. I was a volunteer firefighter for 10 years in a 2 square mile town and we put our heart and soul into trying to save people's property. There seems to be a myth among the uneducated public that volunteer firefighters are not as good as paid. Whether you are paid or not, you still have to take the same classes at the same fire academy, at least where I am from. We were also encouraged to continue our education, which a lot of us did. We had an abysmal fire budget, but we made do with what we had.
@@gregggoss2210 Where im from the volunteer academy is 2 days a week 3 hours each for 2 months. The full time academy is monday-friday 8-4 to for 12 weeks. Same certificates but different products.
@@hihfty , my memory isn't what it once was, but I believe when I took Firefighter 1, it was 120 hours of training. The same academy was used by both volunteers and paid. I'm sure things have changed since then. It's been 26 years since I took F.F.1.
Great video
Makes me wonder why installing fuel (vinyl) on the outside of houses is a good idea.
You should see the old siding that was used on older homes from the 1930’s-1960’s It was called Insulbrick.. or as us older generation firefighters used to call..”Gasoline Siding” It was siding made of fiberboard and bitumen usually with a crushed stone coating exterior like roofing shingles. It was a very inexpensive construction material back in the day and was visually appealing. It can still be seeing in older cities, towns. Most of which was just covered over with aluminum siding and vinyl siding came after that.
@@concretefireman8009 I started my construction career in the industrial area's of the north east back in the 80's... Cement and steel area's. I remember insulbrick. Most houses were balloon framed. People would use it to cover old wood siding then we would run vertical furring strips over it and install vinyl siding. Sometime we would use Styrofoam sheets before the furring. Nothing but a big pile of fuel but thought nothing of it back then. The problem with vinyl siding today is the houses are being built so close together that when one catches on fire, it melts the siding off 3 other houses.
I lost brain cells watching this video and reading these comments.
As did I.
Sigh. Yep.
What another LEO that didn't scoop high enough on the fire department test?
Great Video, Fire looks like an accelerant was used.
I mean look around your own home. Our homes are full of plastics and other petroleum products. I saw that the average time for a whole room to go up used to be 30-35 minutes 50-60 years ago, and now its often well under 10 minutes. Used to be natural fabrics and such would take time to catch. Progress!
The average time for a room to go into “flashover” used to be 17 mins 40+ years ago.. that’s the statistics. Now as the commentor mentioned due to all the plastics, synthetics from construction materials to household furnishings and objects that proliferate in 21st century time that time to flashover now is on average UNDER 3 MINUTES!!! Working smoke detectors are your first line of defense. 2nd line of defense is sleep with your bedroom doors closes. That gives you breathable air from the heat, smoke and toxic gases for better survival until help arrives. The difference between a closed bedroom door can be 1,000 degrees! Have an escape plan, practice it.
Cute pool in back.
As usual FD takes forever.
this was my friends house! there all okay!
Who built the houses in this area. An affluent town that is not overly dense area burns disproportionally
Rumor has it back in the booming build time of brick, a six pack got you past your building inspection. My house has drywall as sheathing I’m in the north end of town.
Once again North Jersey cops show you who is in charge. Next time tell him he is live on Facebook, and ask him if he ever heard of the First and Fourth Amendments. It's none of his business who you are if you aren't doing anything wrong. Do you wear PPE with a hat that says PHOTOJOURNALIST on it? Might be worth the investment. These clowns don't know the value of having good publicity versus bad. You might unknowingly get an image of an arsonist surveying their own handiwork that could help with a prosecution some day. I've said it before and I'll say it again, your counterparts in NYC could walk right into a burning building and NYPD wouldn't stop them.
Agreed but not here to start more issues then already going on & respect the cops 100%, wish they would just secure the scene and do what needed yelling at me to move 2 feet just seems useless. Always seems to be in Brick Township.
That is far from North Jersey, south Central more like it
@@jerseyshorefireresponse probably a rookie cop, I wouldn't worry about him
He was nervous and barked a bit
Interactions with the PD seems to be a common occurrence in your videos.
Just get something that identifies you as a fireground photographer or department photographer and they’ll most likely leave you alone.
They’ll probably begin to recognize you each time you arrive on scene too.
Do the departments in and around brick support your work? Get one of them to back you up as the department photographer and get an old helmet and simple ID tag.
A guy that consistently photographs and records incidents near me just has a traffic safety vest that says photographer on it and he has no problems at all because he blends right in with everyone else.
So many things wrong with this from the get go. To long for water, to long to protect exposures way to long to get inside and what is the deal with the guy on the hose line with no helmet.
Job not complete until some windows get completely smashed. Under control means house completely demolished.
Did I see that correctly, at around the 12:45 minute mark, they had crews inside, doing interior firefighting operations WHILE you're using a ladder pipe? How STUPID can you be? That's a great way to injure or kill firefighters. That should be like Intro to firefighting 101. I've seen it happen because of a irresponsible IC, and it sent 3 guys to the hospital (luckily it wasn't more.) TBH, a aerial master stream shouldn't have even been needed on this, a well trained crew with a 1 3/4 (or two) should have been able to handle this fairly easily with minimal property damage to the rest of the structure. Except now everything on the bottom 2 floors is ruined from water damage. I don't need to be an ass, but come on guys. Do better, be better.
Not sure they made entry into the home vs opened the door to vent.?
@@jerseyshorefireresponse At the 12:45 mark, you can clearly see a hose stream shooting through a hole that burnt thorough in the roof. Look above the 3rd window, above the porch/patio overhang. I mean the door might be open to vent, but there's also massive holes in the roof & the fire is in the attic, so I'd be willing to bet my next paycheck that conditions inside were pretty clear. There's plenty of other things I could point out that show lack of training but I'm trying to be nice.
What is the issue Jersey firefighters, someone has their PASS device going off on almost every fire.
13 mins. in on video still no lines in the structure? really
Breton Woods, a little history there.
