- On March 14 2021 the Lakewood Fire Department responded to airport rd for a reported brush fire. Crews arrived to a fast moving brush fire that was threatening a structure and a second alarm was struck. The fire quickly consumed the structure, spreading rapidly to multiple other buildings and a large area of brush. A 3rd alarm was transmitted as the fire jumped the Garden State Parkway and began to threathen numerous structures in Brick off of Route 70. The New Jersey Forest Fire Service deployed multiple brush trucks, along with other ground and air units with Multiple mutual aid assets from both Monmouth and Ocean Counties dispatched to multiple locations throughout the area to assist in extinguishing the main body of fire along with dozens of spot fires throughout both townships. The Garden State Parkway and Route 70 had to be completely shut down.

"How much water do you ha......"
Peterbilt Tanker: "YES!"
Now why more rural departments don't have tankers like this is beyond me. You see in some video's 4 or 5 fire departments send their tankers to supply as much water as this one tanker does.
6500 to 7k carrying capacity!
@@trvman1 got a feeling $$$ has lot to do with.
I really appreciate how these fire fighters are doing the best they can and risking their lives to save ours. Thank you. 😭❤️
I was stuck on the Parkway during this at exit 89 for almost two hours before they turned us all around. It was definitely a good show, sorry if that sounds callous, I am quite appreciative to all the first responders and fire fighters who helped get this under control.
I’m sorry you got stuck but thank you for watching the video!
@@demonracer2what was the acres it burned? Seemed a good size for being a NJ brush/wildland fire
God bless all these fire companies who are out risking their lives right dealing with this fire
Dang that’s like something you see down here or on the west coast. Great job though. Those are hard to cover
Thank you It took me a while to get to an area to film they had the area completely locked down, we do not get many large fires like this in this area so I was happy I was able to film what I did
No you didn't you men working on the fire, just a couple of vehicles that's dumb.
@@gilfernandez7857 English please sir?!?!
@@gilfernandez7857 if you don't see men working this fire then you're not watching the video. Perhaps asking questions about fire attack on a active fire environment like this would be a better approach?
Excellent video. Congratulations. And kudos for staying there and filming everything, so close to the fire. That takes guts.
This was an amazing entertaining video I’ve ever watched! You did an amazing job filming this! Thank you for an amazing video! Stay safe out there! You have the best entertaining videos on TH-cam!
Thank you very much!
Great Work on a not so great situation
Thank you so much!
Thank you for keeping us safe 🙏💖🙏
Agreed!
Appreciate the video. On the other side of town and didn’t really see the full extent until this.
Thank you for watching
This was by far one of the things I feared the most. I literally was thinking Friday as I was getting on to the parkway about the fire that happened years ago by I think Barnegat. I found it absolutely crazy that OCSO putout a fire warning 3 hours before this happened. Thankfully we have great FD around here. This seriously could have destroyed a good portion of my town.
AWESOME JOB FILMING THIS FIRE... THANK YOU 😲
Thank you so much!
Absolutely amazing footage!!!! Love that giant Peterbilt tanker and all of those state forestry units. Some rare catches for you I’m sure!
Thank you so much it was an impressive response! Tomorrow ill be uploading a full response video of tons of these apparatus responding in
@@demonracer2 I can’t wait!
1808 is a VERY impressive truck. Imagine if it had a deck gun...
That guy in the cropduster has balls of steel
Great shots of the aerial operations!
Thank you for watching!
OMG!!! ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ALL THE HOURS YOU WHERE OUT IN THAT SMOKE & WIND! Than ALL THE HOURS TO PUT THIS AMAZING VIDEO TOGETHER SO QUICKLY!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU & ALL THE OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS 🙏🏻🙏🏻. Praying for Everyone’s SAFETY 🙏🏻👍🏻👏🇺🇸
Thank you so much!
Excellent reportage!
Thank you for the kind words!
WOW! TREMENDOUS Footage and Coverage!👍👏
Thank you so much!
@@demonracer2 You're Very Welcome!
Great catch Demonracer2
Thank you so much!
epic, that was a LONG day
It sure was!
Great coverage!!
Thank you so much!
This happened in Salem County as well. Massive brush fire that extended to a large structure, Out of County Tanker Task Force deployed, NJFFS as well. Even had multiple brush fires through out the day as well in other areas.
Every were had brush fires to day this was by far the worse but look in Bergen county Lyndhurst
Bergen County in Lyndhurst also had a large brush fire too
Filming close to my part of the state for a change, I am about 30 miles south. This is something that is a major threat living in the Pine Barrens. We had a fire about 14 years ago that burned 18,000 acres caused by a military plane shooting a practice flare, that was a scary time. The ash in some parts was so thick snow plows came to clear the streets,burning embers were found a couple miles away. Great coverage, keep up tgeamazing work.
Thank you very much, I do a lot of filming in Ocean county in the summer months
I remember that one. Quite a nasty fire, I was using a surgical mask when I had to be outside. That's why they've upped the amount of controlled burn around the base.
I love those little fast attack brush trucks
Nice coverage ..
Thanks for watching
Nice coverage!!! Which dept were you there with?
Thank you! I was only on scene as media
Hi there, my name is Jen Marin, I'm a reporter at a small station working on a feature piece on a family who was affected by this fire but I don't have video of the fire itself, this is amazing work, would i be able to use it in my story with your watermark and credit? please let me know either way -- thank you!
10:57 you can see a fire devil aka “fire tornado”
It was pretty impressive
A fire whorl is not a fire tornado.
yes indeed.
great work on this video ..I've lived in s jersey since 76 been through many fires.. seen controlled burning done on windy days ..they were doing a controlled burn in my area ., exit 58 around this time...wonder if that's what started this fire
Thank you so much!
nice catch
This must be great for you free content
I remember the Berkeley/Lacey fire in the 70's and also the one on Double Trouble Rd. In Berkeley Twnsp.
What a name for a road.
Wow!!!
170 acres and multiple structures burnt!
It was a bad fire!
It's the worse lakewood saw in I think over 40 years.
It was a very large fire! I would not doubt it
@@demonracer2 everything I stated here are from officials either the deputy mayor or chief of fire department or chief of police.
Awesome video of my old stomping grounds,sorry to see that happening.how long was it burning?what agencies used the plane and helicopter?what make&model was LFD ladder tower?
This fire burned for nearly 24 hours, the aircraft were from NJFFS and the Tower is a KME
any idea on how it started
Being that this fire is in New Jersey the IC has the ability to call massive resources from other departments thru out New Jersey and continue to call with the worry of running out who to call.
Correct, there was a large response on scene
This was pushing up near our development the Original Leisure Village off Airport Rd and Rt 70. The smoke was very thick and we received calls from management warning us..
The smoke was definitely covering a large area, happy you were safe
I am SO confused. They've got tanker hooked up to engines in the parking lot of Lowes....are fire hydrants really just not a thing in Jersey? Like, my local Lowes and Home Depot have hydrants near both main entrances, if I'm not mistaken. Why the tanker to the scene truck? lol
Damn we had seaside and Tomsriver helpin
Yup! All Tom’s river companies were on scene
@@demonracer2 Was Silverton Fire Co. also on scene?
I was right there. Saw all of it. Crazy
It definitely was crazy!
Great work buddy!! Awesome footage
Thank you so much!
LOOKS APOCALYPTIC! GREAT JOB SIR !
Thank you so much!
How many gallons are the buckets ( lack of a better word) the choppers dropping? If anyone knows. Appreciate the info ahead of time. Thanx.
Type two helos so a few hundred per bucket.
So that's why I saw a brush truck, on route 22 in green brook screaming by.
Hillsborough had a large mulch/brush fire going at the same time, so probably they were going to that.
DANG
Whole new experience isn’t it
For sure! It was my first time seeing the aerial operations which was surely impressive
That wind made things a whole lot worse I’m sure!
It definitely did
Those SEAT’s are pretty effective and pretty maneuverable. Too bad you don’t have Skycranes, those can pump water from any water source.
I was worrried at heck that day, I’m not even 1:30 hours away
how big is the fire??
Burnt 170 acres and multiple structures
What was the blue and yellow Mack for
Fuel apparatus
I like the Fire Department 🥰🚒🚒
Me too!
How much water does that 18 wheeler tanker hold? I guess they aren’t very common?
Legally, about 7500 gallons weight Wise. However most can carry total 8500 or so .
6000
Did they eventually find out what was the cause???
4:12 First time I have seen a garden shed running for the fire 😂, but nothing to joke about else, looks like all greenery is very volatile and embers starting fires all over.
How can it be so exceptional dry in this time of the year in NJ, I would expect everything being soaking wet this time of the year.
It is always pretty dry around here during fire season, especially since we have been without rain for a few weeks
RIP to the firefighter who passed away in this fire 🙏
No one passed away. Falsely reported
It was a false report
As previously stated there was never official statement
OMG!!!!
To say the least!
What happened? How did the fire start?
They have not announced a cause yet but dry conditions and high winds spread the fire rapidly
oh probley mice with matches.
11:48 Hatzolah buffing of course.... LOL you dont fight fires!
Looks like a typical day for a California wildland firefighter
Possibly a once in a life time event for some of these guys here in NJ!
God Bless these Brave People Keep the in your Hears ad Prayes
well said
I pray that you will learn to spell and to use capital letters in the correct places.
Was that crop duster helping the FD and giving them info on the fire, or was it just having a bit of a nosey?
It can drop water & retardant too
Thank u very much 😄
We had a few in sw fla help us on some wildland fires
It was dropping water 💧
Thanks Awesome
I would say by the end of your video that was no longer a brush fire. Full on forest fire at that point. They are going to be fighting at a minimum thru the night.
Companies are still on scene
Why are so many firefighters walking around in the fire and smoke without protective gear on? Safety!!!!!
OMG but how strong was that fire
Extremely especially with the wind
Those fixed wing jobbies look like AT801s

Did any one see sta 421 New Gretna burlington co that was my old station. I live in okla now
Then at 6:47 I see one enroute on the highway 🎉
part two, man there sure is a ton of vehicles there, hope their wasn't a fire in the towns they left for this one. they got every fire truck and other trucks in the whole city at this one.
Other county units as well as in town trucks were available for other calls, not every town sent every truck
Winter is still here and there already
Brush fires 🤔
Winter is fire season. It gets dry and windy. Perfect fire weather
It has been warming up and very dry in this area lately
@@demonracer2 absolutely, had some windy days along with the elevated twmpatures equals total recipe for disaster her in the pines.
Cold dry winter air DRYS out vegetation!
1:44 is that a UH-1 Huey?
Yes!
@@demonracer2 i knew it! 😄
Interesting that there are no hydrants at a Home Depot center.
If they dont have city water then their isnt hydrants, much of New Jersey is well water
Call Forestry 🏆💪
One thing I was scared about is if Chick-fil-A burned burned down
As were a lot of people
I work at that chick Fil a. I was scared too. Love working there.
🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍🙏🏼
Was that your dad Mark
i love firefighters
maybe that's why fueling your car in New Jersey is illegal?
looks bad to me brush fire can be very bad
Especially with this crazy wind!
So i have a aap that will show all fire Emergency
most brush fires in arizona there letting them burn them self out. too much buffel grass.

9:27 Voice Leak.
Hahaha yup that was missed in the editing stage it happens 😂
I kept expecting the fire to crown! I used to live in Washington and that orange glow... didn't inspire great feelings. Just saying!
Thanks for sharing!!
Is this the township where the parents dressed up their kids in black-face for Purim?🤔🤔 Sad about the loss of life
At near the 15:50 mark That is a pocket burning out (surrounded by black) u can see... so u lil red brush trucks don't put it out 😉 instead let it burn itself out it aint going anywhere.
and i want to be one
I'm super close to gehre
Could you see the smoke?
@@demonracer2ya
,y house is 111 long
Great compilation of clips! I've put up the fire audio from the first 5-6 hours of this incident over on my channel if you want to check it out.
Fantastic! Thanks for watching
Oh my goodness that fire is big with a fire that size they probably will have to evacuate the area I'm assuming the fire started because someone must have Set It Off that's what I think or something else
They did evacuate a large area and all the commercial properties
@@demonracer2 good safety of civilians is important
OMG
Lol is this fire trying to destroy hardware stores???
Thankfully that did not happen!
couple of bushes and some hay on fire, 4 fire trucks pulling up, dude wants to try and hit it with an air strike.
Ohh look what we have here, Monday Morning firefighting Quarterback. Okay we have extremely high winds and combustibles everywhere, you notice where the fire was and where the air drop was...it is called containment (soaking down the unburned brush). The pilot did not drop on the fire.
@@anmlrsqnj actually, it dropped on the sheds and a fence, there were no bushes there, but hey, you already know everything, right?
Did they ever get that fire put out? It sure looked like a lack of coordination with many vehicles seemingly just driving around aimlessly. What few air drops that were shown, looked pretty ineffective.
Quite the opposite actually, trucks were responding to staging and from staging were dispatched to multiple calls throughout two towns so definitely not aimless. The fire was 100% contained in less than 24 hours.
