- JFRD responded to a high-rise fire to an eight story apartment building that was under construction.
Smoke was showing from the upper floors when crews arrived on scene. The engine officer knew the building was under construction and let it be known early.
An early offensive/interior attack was initiated to a fire found on the seventh floor. Standpipe systems were made up the side of the building and up aerial ladders to supply water to the crews fighting the fire on the sixth and seventh floors.
Command called for a second alarm assignment almost immediately and followed that with the third alarm not long after that as it was clear that this was a manpower intensive operation. The offensive attack lasted nearly two and a half hours when fire then breached the roof.
Because the building was under construction, crews dealt with unfinished stairwells, access issues, unprotected elevator shafts along with burnt through floors. Ultimately being the catalyst to pull crews out and to go defensive.
Quickly, seven ladder pipes were set up all around the building, each one being supplied by an engine on a separate hydrant. Crews attempted to hook into the sprinkler system to attempt to thwart the growth of the fire...unsuccessfully.
Collapse became a major concern as we were pumping 1,000's of gallons of water into this building with fire damage and unfinished construction to also consider. This fire burned through the entire night and into the following day...with hot spots flaring up even 5 days later as demolition of the structurally unsafe apartments were slated for demolition.
This video contains a lot of audio from this fire...please note, the audio does not line up with the video...but gives you an idea of considerations and operations of the Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department.

Drone views are insane
sure are .
Amazing team approach and coordination. Well done JFRD
Appreciate that!
Great communication on the fire ground and commands
Agreed! Very well run fire
Excellent coverage & excellent work by JFRD getting the fire out --- Debbie
Appreciate that.
It truly amazes me how all of you do what you do. It takes someone mighty special. Definitely not a job for just anyone. Outstanding job!
No it is not…but thank you
@@thejfrd2490 I watch these videos and I beg to differ. Tough strong guys!
I meant the job is not for everyone@@BrandyWine658
I did, too. It takes someone special to be able to deal with everything that's required. Just like it would take someone special, someone capable to be a Police Officer. I also have the utmost respect for those who are able to deal with everything they must do.@@thejfrd2490
@@thejfrd2490 I'm the type that's never met a stranger, I always have been. I'm more cautious these days, but I'm still a people person and I care deeply , but some people take me wrong and that's not good. Like I said before, I don't know anything about you or your life outside of your profession, but I care. I admire you and I have the utmost respect for you. It's all good.
great job JFRD! I'm happy to read there weren't any injures!
Thanks!
Fantastic footage. Everyone did an outstanding job fighting the fire 🔥. Have a great day my friend ❤️🙂⚘️🚒.
appreciate you watching!
Great job , glad everyone came out safe, this could have ended really bad I commend Commands decision to pull crews early.
Right decision, right time.
Listened to most of this and live just over the bridge from it. It was crazy seeing this and listening to it. Those men did a wonderful job, and your command is amazing at what they do! Great communications and jobs!
Command was phenomenal...and so were all the crews he was working with.
Awesome coverage. All responders did a fabulous job. Awesome command...🤗🤗
Thanks
Awesome teamwork, leadership and communication! Glad no one was injured, this was a stubborn one!
Thank you...glad as well.
Awesome job JFRD. Crazy fire. God Bless You All.
My Nephew is a Firefighter at the base. (Marine now FF)
Thank you...and thank you to your nephew for his service.
That RED DEVIL was made , it ran up over down across and came back time after time . Every time they got a corner out , it lit back up. Great communication on scene . This must have been a tiring fight for the Captains and ladder , pump personnel . great video of area
Once it breached the roof, stopping it was very difficult as the fire moved where it wanted...luckily, it didn't go downward floor by floor to the ground...
It was tiring for every man and woman on scene, from firefighters to chiefs. Long long night
That was a pretty brutal fire to battle....hats off to all involved!
Lot of things to worry about...thanks
So much focus on the building loss but from this video you can really see the insanity of what these fire fighters were facing. They are the true story here. Jacksonville is blessed to have each of them. Outstanding job!
They are all committed to do a great job...we are blessed in this city.
Excellent video work.
Thank you.
Good firefighting, and great coverage of the job.
Thanks for watching...
the crews did an amazing job. that was a real nightmare for sure. pity that the fire suppression had not been installed as yet.
The building was under construction, we handled what we needed to handle.
Been waiting for this one!
It is here
That went from 1 to 1000 quick. I hate under construction fires. Shit is too dangerous
We are blessed that no one was injured.
can we get an update on the structure status when possible.
They began demolition on this building because of safety to the area within a week...that is still on going.
Firefighters got balls. Big balls.
We do what we do.
Putting water on the seat of this fire may have made a difference…obviously the ladders were ineffective. But at least the aerials look cool with all the blue lighting
Anyone who knows fire behavior knows that the fire will take the path of least resistance...therefore, once the fire breached the roof, it was free to do what it wanted...you attempt to hit it with the ladder, but it moves itself to an area where it can continue to burn...once the ladder moves the stream, the fire goes right back to where it wants...so please tell me how you would do this differently to get water on the seat of the fire??? You can see times where we were (heavy steam) but to no avail
Glad you like our lights on the ladders...but someone wasn't paying full attention, they aren't all blue!!!
Thanks for watching!
Hoe many floors can Americann fire trucks go i seen one uk video they trucks can go 20 floors
Depends on their length...110 feet cover roughly 8 stories.
I feel like this would be arson with the previous apartment building (also new construction) in the last couple months. We’ve had an uptick in arson in my district lately too, not necessarily fully involved, but still sketchy and in abandoned or new structures not occupied.
I’m betting Aaron as well. Gen contractor was probably over time and over budget and had no $$ left. So just my .02 they decided to let insurance handle this.
Feelings don't solve arson cases...science does...we will let the investigators do their thing.
I was wondering what the FD though about the criticism that the city tore the building down too quickly so no investigation could be done. Without knowing the cause, we don’t know if there is a flaw in the building design or something else.
Not suspicious at all………
Who said they weren't still investigating? The building was deemed unsafe for entry, even for investigators...no one was entering the inside. They are investigating all the same.
Question is this the apartment building that caught fire 🔥 in downtown Jacksonville last month, And now has been demolished..🤔🤔🤔
Yes, it is in the process of being demolished.
Tower Ladders (Buckets) would have been a plus for this fire.
We had one there...our second one was out of service for repairs....but thanks
ขอโทษและขอบพระคุณและอื่นๆ.....คุณแก้วกนก องศ์อาจ/คุณลินลาพรรณ องศ์อาจ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢อ๋อค่าทำศพและอื่นๆทุนพนักงานและอื่นๆ.....คุณเพ็ญนภาพรรณ องศ์อาจ/จันทร์บัว/คุณอนันต์วรรณ องศ์อาจ.....และอื่นๆ,😊😊😊😊😢,
english please.
I did some low voltage work in a few bldgs under construction. I had no idea how far they go to create so called fire barriers using sealant and stuff. They even pour a thin layer of concrete like material on the wood subfloor. They keep lowering the quality of the materials, while jacking up the prices, and somehow getting approval to have more floors...sooner or later there will be mass casualties 🙄
Edit: forgot to mention how I wasn't too keen on working in a building with no working sprinklers yet.
Just the construction process.
Going to be a real mess if it's occupied if they don't have plenty of suppression
ok...thanks
JFRD Has No Buckets ??
We had one on scene...the other was in for maintenance
Those towers were just tall enough!! Should have stopped spraying water and called for heavy equipment to knock it down!!!
Or maybe a military air strike!!
That is not how we operate.
@@thejfrd2490would have been more economical and better for the environment. Did y’all contain the millions of gallons of water running off ? It’s not like yall saved anything at all . Was a great effort at the beginning.
@@JS-zb1vv we do not go into these situations thinking like that...plus what you are suggesting is not realistic...you want us to bring in heavy equipment to knock the building down as it is burning?? That certainly isn't safe, so you're endangering even more lives...furthermore, as you knock the building apart, more flammables are exposed and the fire just gets bigger...so now you have a bigger, more dangerous fire that you need to put out and use even more water to extinguish
Does this really seem like a good idea to. you?
dont bother answering the key board warriors ; they have no clue. Great job and command was excellent ! 30 years mdfr @@thejfrd2490
Way to let that one get out of control.
Really??? Could you have done better? How?
GREAT COMS!
A well run scene
Should have called in C-130 FORESTRY DROP TANKERS, told forestry that they have a concrete forest fire.... and you could have all gone home and called it a night.......LOL.
P.S. GOOD JOB CHIEF AND ALL CHEWS ON SCENE.
wouldn't have touched it
