That was a LOT of apparatus just to turn a valve off....................But they definitely kept the area safe. Good job guys and gals of the responding units!
squad driver lookin like a UPS delivery man in that thing
Jetstar it’s a converted bread van🥖
Judging by the lightbar on that van, I can safely assume it has an 8 track player in it.
Excellent video! What you did is keeping a safe distance from a very volatile situation!
I thought the utility pole was going to burn as the flames were licking it big time!
Back in 2000 their was a major gas leak right at the Morris Plains Parsippany border. Rt10 had to be closed in both directions! Finally the gas company arrived and shut off the gas. The biggest problem for ALL is that the ruptured gas main was in the woods!
Thanks for watching!
Demonracer2 Your welcome! Excellent coverage!
Nice video I want to be a police officer when I grow up that’s why I keep watching polices or firefighter videos
Awesome catch,man do I miss hearing fire tones like that ,I was a FF with sta 421 in New Gretna , Burlington Co for a few years and was at more then a few of the fireman conventions so great to see there trucks
I really enjoyed being able to hear communications while watching operations, nice video!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
Great video and Thank you Guys for your services!
Impressive the response level in the United Stated for a Gas Line Fire! Congratulations to all the emergency services.
Fantastic footage, perhaps one of your best videos my friend!
J. Magno Thank you so much!
The reason for the big response is, I'd say, because of the risk of a gas explosion. Actually, since the gas was burning, it wasn't that great of a risk.
BUT, _if_ there was a gas explosion, there could be multiple buildings on fire, and multiple victims in need of attention...
Also, that area (North Wildwood and Wildwood) has a LOT of wood frame constructed houses, the shops on the boardwalk, plus the boardwalk itself is all wood. The heat from those flames could've easily touched off a multiple dwelling fire.
Also, wildwood (other than June July and August) is practically empty so they can afford to dispatch a shit load of people.

Great coverage,DR2. The FD and North Wildwood were lucky that the gas ignited immediately.
Quint 2 was on scene for an hour and a half before the fire started
That's crazy! Great footage man!
Thanks for watching!
I wondered why all the police officers were showing up then I saw the Dunkin' Donuts sign
@Joenay Teague Being a volunteer fireman we tell lots of cop jokes.
Fantastic notation. I'm sure they were truly worried about their beloved donut shop.
John McMickle how do u think of that
Lol
John McMickle how’s life bro
And the problem was solved by.... turning off the gas.
Even with the gas turned off it could take a while for the remaining gas to be burned off
let me give you some insight, you only need between 5% and 15% Gas mixture in the air for and explosion. be glad it was a high pressure main and not a low.At least the high pressure will burn and not explode as easy as a low pressure. Turning the gas is an easy solution but as Sam said , you still have all that gas to burn off first.
Excellent video, buddy!
Looks like they let it burn until the gas could be turned off. That's actually the safest option, because it lets the gas burn off, rather than dissipate in the environment and potentially seep into buildings, where it can result in an explosion.
Benjamin Esposti very true mate. It’s also quite hard to put it out with water anyways. We have tested the fire crews quite a few times at our yard for training. Most times they can’t put it out. Dry powder is way more effective. But it has its limits also depending on the size of the fire.
High pressure gas leak there really is only one way to deal with this protect exposures and have the gas company shut down the line.
Only with the perfect O2 & gas mixture.
@@shaunb9876 ,
Agreed. Lots of Purple K is your friend in such a fire.
J haha yeah mate! Just make sure you ain’t downwind when you spray it, unless if you got BA gear on otherwise you get a lung full of purple powder and can’t breath hahaha. I learnt after my first go lol
Congrats on 36K on this video!
Thank you!
great combination - of audio and video!
Alex English Thank you so much!
nice job
Demonracer2
Thanks
cops like donuts
thats serious
As a German I have to say:
When I see these electrical wires, I seriously wonder how the US could become such an economic powerhouse. In Germany, the technical inspection association would shut down everything immediately.
And you will continue to wonder how. Thosw wires seem up to height and other specs.
the hose didnt pull them off either. Not pretty though. The youngest nation, and as you say an economic powerhouse. During this present admin, bustd over 4 percent growth after 8 years a under 3 percent (no us president went 8 years withoiut hitting 3 percent) ONe year we get to 4. Anyways, love the other countries powerhouse envy. Thanks
Most of the wires seen near the fire are for telecommunication (TV cable and phone company.) The only electrical lines are high above. There is only one electrical line that is even remotely in jeopardy and it is a 3 phase likely 480v line supplying power to the Dunkin Doughnut building.
cluttered does not mean unsafe
@@Howard3S, oh don't the uninformed love to wallow in their ignorance? The ANNUAL growth rate of the GDP under your new savior in 2017 was 2.2% and in 2018 it was 2.9% - not 3% and most certainly not 4%. The QUARTERLY GDP growth rate, which is what you're mistakenly comparing to the annual rate actually broke 3% eight times under Obama, with the highest being over 5%. Either compare apples to apples or, well, shut the hell up....
@@Kevin-tj6nw Numbers can be messed with to state what ever you want, obozo did it all the time !
Bad ass! I haven’t been there since the 70’s
Amazing footage!
Thank you!
Wow! That's a big and dangerous looking flame! Was kinda making me nervous because the electrical line was right above the flame and then if that caught on fire it would be a whole different story.
Fire alarm 8 the line won't catch fire the pole will and pole could
Great footage!
Thank you!
Awesome on scene video and getting the radio traffic
Thanks for watching!
I was 10-11 at school carnival. School was 200' elevation above major structure fire .5 mile away. In true *Paul Revere style a kid was running up/down hallways alerting all of us of YUGE FIRE close by.* I added myself to the throng of kids running 2 catch the action. *More than 10 fire trucks engines even a ladder company was there!! BEST carnival I ever saw!!* I have LOVED FIRE FIGHTING EQUIP. EVER SINCE and I am retired now. *ALL US BOYS WERE THERE!!*
Nice vids! What do you use to record?
Thank you! I filmed this with a Cannon R80
What a strong flame. Why were there so many ambulances? Why they did not park far from the fire?
@Demonracer2 How do you get all your awesome videos. I’m guessing you must have a scanner hence the background audio

mac mccullough Thank you for watching!
Interesting to see Wildwood Squad 3's headlights on the front bumper, with it's emergency lights in the place where the headlights usually are, I've never seen anything like that.
Cool looking truck at 1:55. Was that a rehab unit or some sort of a rescue unit?
Does the "all hands" transmission mean that any available on or off duty firefighters should come to the scene/get to a station and get on some trucks?
Awesome video man. Good scene coverage and response videos. I liked the audio in it too!
Thanks bud! yeah Squad 3 is a really unique truck, was happy to get it responding. still trying to figure out what the purpose of L2-1 is but i was saying the same thing, some sort of rehab support unit but never got a complete answer, infant up until it rounded the corner i never even knew they had it lol. And yes! the all hands has all stations on the island respond as well as the volunteer FFs as both wildwood and North Wildwood are combination departments and than an off duty recall is put into place
Jeez, big response! I'm sure that all hands transmission doesn't happen that often.
It’s an area that gets more populated in the summer so in the off season it doesn’t get busy so yes the All Hands is fairly rare as were most of the trucks I caught
We can expect these sorts of things to occur with more frequency as the infrastructure continues to age.
What was the role of the van at 1:54, please?
God Bless you guys.
Great video buddy
Jay.Jones Gaming Thank you for watching!
Your welcome and no problem
It absolutely crazy how loud the Fire is coming from that high pressure gas main it sounds like a jet engine
Í
Is this dept career or volunteer? Either way some sweet looking rigs!
Combination
very good video, keep up the good work !!
Thank you so much!
As a former volunteer firefighter I just want to ask does anyone think this is a bit of an overkill for response? Why was so many trucks needed. I understand exposure protection but a lot of man power standing around and lot of trucks out of service
1:53 whoa that's a rare catch, no? Wildwood rules.
Sure was! I never even knew they had that
Yea im going there tomorrow
Oh wow that fire looks very dangerous great video
Questions... HAZMAT response? Evacuation rings? Hot zone, warm zone? What if there had been a regulator serge causing the fire to self extinguish fallowed by a pipe explosion due to the heat? I honestly don't understand why everyone is just about on top of the X...
i wondered the same thing. way to many pd and apparatus in the blast zone.
Gas dont blow the way u think.....
People don't call hazmath unless it fully requires it.
Brandon Can I have a job
Noreal need for a hazmat response it was on fire to it could not suffocate anyone. What was needed was to evacuate the buildings in danger of fire and then get others out as needed. Next not every fire department has a Hazmat team.
I love the new doge Durango
Aj Teater they sure are nice, thank you!
Demonracer2 no problem
Good engines, crappy suspension.
I worked for a large gas utility in Massachusetts and this does happen and it sucks . But thank god everybody was trained and new what to do. The scary thing was in the winter working on broken cast iron mains. When i worked the system was almost 100 yrs old. Now most of them are relayed and are plastic. We would have 1 or 2 a night during cold spells. I never thought about the bad out come if we didn't work quick. But youtube has shown me how lucky we were. While we had to locate then dig we were in front of a bomb
How do you put that out by water or something else? I'm just curious I'm always wondering how!
Lacie Dean I would believe foam
some type of foam
Now I know that this is a dumb question but why was the ladder truck called too? was it for the man power?
North Wildwood Fire HQ main suppression unit is a ladder/quint.
judging by how long it took the gas company to get the line shut off, just imagine the carnage IF an explosion had occurred. Great catch!
b3j8 the chance of an explosion is very minimal it already ignitited and a unlimited pressurized source all gas release is being burnt off at exit comparable to cooking on a propane grill the danger is present but in the most part contained and controlled the main concern is additional exposures which they looked to be dealing with by cooling the building with the pipe (hose line)
Robert Allen yup you’re correct! The first thing they did was protect/cool exposures like you said
Great video !!!!
Thanks!
Go to end of street, turn valve that says gas in clockwise motion. That should do it.
What alarm was it
Bet your ass it's an All Hands call when the Dunkin' Donuts is in danger!
Which palace is was At and I love the tons of calls
Thanks end
I’m very surprised that gas company truck is able to withstand the intense heat. The was a gas main fire in Minneapolis a few years back and it was across the street and a whole parking lot away from a grocery store and even due to the intense heat the grocery stores outdoor signs all melted
1:55 nice food truck
they get the food truck on gas line fire? huh????
😂😂😂😂
wonder how long they actually had that, I mean thats an older model.....
Dude that’s an equipment carrier
@@pizzasubs 'How did they get an older model'
@Demonracer2 what is the all hands because we dont use that terminology where is volunteer which is New York
All fire personnel at one place
And all available fire company’s called that’s what all hands on deck means
Happy vacation!
great vid
Alexander Houston Thanks
Miss seaside&wildwood, good ol days as a teen
How long does it take to turn off the Gas ? Ridiculous.
About all that can be done is get hoses in place in case it starts to spread. Until then wet down the nearest threatened building and wait for the gas to be shut off..... That stuff does not get put out with regular hose and water.
Nice man
Minecraft4Life Thank you!
What kind of scanner you use

Great one!
Thanks!
Nice catch man.
Thank you
Dodge Durangos, you dont see those used very often as patrol vehicles, we used to use the Dodge Magnums for a while.......
Which fire trucks are in station 3?
Squad 3 Rescue 3 and Quint 3
I know where that is. I've been there before.
Thank goodness not summer time.. getting to it, would have been hard...
how many fire fighters does it take to put out a gasfire
Strictly speaking, none. The way a fire like this is extinguished is generally by cutting off the flow of gas somewhere upstream. That work is actually done by the utility company. BUT... what the fire department does in a case like this is protect exposures, and prevent the fire from spreading. In some rare situations, the FD may also use water streams to push the fire / heat away from a certain valve or component that the utility company needs to access in order to stop the flow of gas.
Die Gaswerke drehen den Hahn zu und gut ist. Wozu der Riesenaufwand ... ?..
Why not try to find the gas shut off valve and try to turn it off and let it burn out
I'd like to say a few things: first, great video Demonracer! You stayed out of the way and safe. Second: those of you who never been to the Jersey shore have to understand that the majority of buildings in any given shore town are wood framed. Just a coupe of years ago, an exposed wire under the boardwalk at Seaside Heights set the whole boardwalk on fire(I believe it was Seaside Heights, but I could be wrong; brain's a bit fuzzy on that point), so I can understand the massive response. Better to have to many than too few.
Better to be safe than sorry
@@texandy89 Agreed.
@@saveriodellorusso6637 I'm a former volunteer firefighter and I saw video of the boardwalk fire of seaside Hights that was crazy I left in 2013 for personal reasons I always say rather have more then less personal because you never know what could happen imagine if something did happen and there was only the first due to the call it would be castrophic.
So lucky the leak wasn't any closer to the bldg's
Was at that DD this morning before I left vacation lol
Wow, was it a gas line bust and then it caught fire?
Isaiah Heid a hot leak listen to the radio transmittions
Then you will understand
Funny how so many people are know it all's, but have the slightest clue of what truly needs to be done. I was a firefighter for years. You treat every call as an emergency no matter what, because you just never know.
Great catch man!
Thank you!
nice one
rolf sinkgraven Thanks!
Why does the ladder say "Engine 2" on the side? Is that not classified as a truck on that department?
Technically its a Quint. Last year the county changed the units designations and that rig is now known as Quint 2 but they have no updated their graphics on the rig.
Oh okay. We have one just like it (Quint 3249) and I was curious. Thanks!
Anytime!
Good video Demon racer. However seeing as it was a gas fire I would have been videoing from the other side of town. Why is it the personal driving the pickups and SUV's have to park right on top of the scene?
Thank you for watching!
heureusement que ils sont là pompiers policiers et ambulances ils nous sauvent la vie courante est presque leur devise bravos ont à besoin de vous
i like respon time🔥🚒
Over reaction by command put the rest of the community at risk by putting out an all hands call for this. As long as it's burning, the initial response could have handled this with PD assistance to evacuate the immediate area.
J.T. Johnston what if the gas line explodes did you think about that
It's not
DO NOT let the Dunkin Donuts be harmed in any way
Keep the good work
After he said “In the vicinity of the Dunkin Doughnuts” every cop in the world was like “I got it!”
Why the original Nintendo music at 2:30
5:18. I don't know how J. Cole has time to be a rapper and a firefighter. Crazy
Other than the Wildwood departments who else showed up? I thought I saw district 7 station 72.
Stations 2,3,4,72 were all on scene 13 covered
love how dispatch says IN R O O T
It's NEW JOISEY 4 cryin out loud ! They ALL TALK FUNNY THERE... Just like NEW YORKERS!!
It can be pronounced that way
Protect the exposures and let it burn.
Why so many engines but good job well done
Exposure protection.
The big flame is hot (as you might expect) and will start cooking the surrounding buildings and cars, so they want to be able to hose down a large area.
On top of that, it's quite difficult to fight a gas fire with water. When they do try to extinguish it, they'll need to hit it with a lot of mist.
That's not the first priority because the fire is at least getting rid of the gas, which means it can't build up and explode. The downside of letting it burn is that the fire can attack the pipe and make the leak worse.
Can’t they turn off the gas?
how long does it take to get a gas supply turned off
anthony john ramsey lol.... as someone who works for a major utility provider in nyc.... sometimes the main valves are paved over .... sometimes these valve box covers are stuck... filled with debris .... and first you have to find the right main valve(s).... because gas can either be on a one way or 2 way feed.... so ... it’s not like just turning the knob on or stove.... and you have situations where the gas can be connected like a 4way tee... and you have to go to 4 different valves and shut them... so like I said .... it’s not that simple.... have a good one
tjlovesrachel people lack knowledge and common sense
Cool how they had 2 different departments on scene
4 departments were on scene
Demonracer2 oh damn
Not sure on this department set up but in my area we work on a m.a.b.a.s.system mutual aid box alarm system. It gives us the back up and resources needed when we get the job for instance if we show up for report of a structure fire we have 4 other departments on the way but if we have something bigger than originally reported we will call for 2nd alarm which will dispatch further companies to support us in whatever way we need be it back up or response to additional calls while we are tied up
Love the dispatch running in the background!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Why's the squad lifted up so high? I thought maybe for going into brush for brush fires but I'm probably wrong
As per wildwood FD
“This apparatus allows the fire department to access the eastside of the boardwalk onto the beach for fire, medical and water rescue emergencies.”
Definitely is a help with minor flooding as well as there are no areas for brush fires like you said but the area does flood regularly thanks for watching!
Ohhh that's actually a good idea, and I'll always watch! :)
Thank you!
just to emphasize, wildwood becomes like a swimming pool during heavy rain and hurricanes. It's scary, and they use a lot of different lifted vehicles to assist in rescues and fires during such weather.
It’s 4WD
Why do many people? What else is burning? How many does it take to turn off a gas main?
It probably only takes one person to turn off a gas main, but they have to be from the gas company to do it.
The gas company likely doesn't keep someone posted to respond to emergencies 24/7, so it takes a while to get someone out there to shut the gas off. Meanwhile all the fire department can do is make sure nothing else catches on fire, which is exactly what they were doing.
44R0Ndin well idk how Jersey/wildwood does it ..... but I work gas emergency in nyc for the big blue power company... and we have gas and electric crews staffed 24/7 ready to go Incase something like this happens
Is it necessary for 100 emergency vehicles just turn off the main gas line..
Harley James yeah. Let’s see. Gas line blows up and takes couple block? Good thing fire engines are there.
Gas lines blows up and causes power lines to be downed if it hits an electrical pole? Good thing firemen are there.
Plus, you can’t just turn off the valve to shut off gas.
Wow
Q JONEZ Thanks for watching!
All I have to say is hopefully none the gas employees were injured or lost their lives
