Great clear video! I been through that same scene with the police shooting fires for 40 years. Some being very rude. You handled it like I do with the police. Just say ok, thank you. Then do your thing. After all these years I finally got an ID card from my city fire department thanks to the new Chief. Now the police act like I am their friend.
Don't you just hate when you are safely standing far enough away from the action and some cop has to come by and exert their authority and be a dick to tell you to back away?
This is because they speak to each other PD and FD in Brick and couple other towns and don’t want this guy around because they’re afraid of the Critiques in the comment thread 🤷🏻♂️

@@jerseyshorefireresponse thing is you don't need permission to say they allowed you to film is saying you require their permission when it's a first amendment right guaranteed by the constitution

To all that make stupid and ignorant comments on the local fire department. Unless you are bailing out of bed at 2 in the morning when it's 20 degrees, throwing on 60 lbs of gear and standing in a 1000 degree fire while receiving no compensation, you really need to shut the f up
You mean you have to do all that to use your common sense and logic? Tell me why this fire couldn't have been knocked down with the deck gun using tank water, long before the video even started.
Constructive criticism isn't a bad thing. I am no longer an active volunteer firefighter in NJ (moved to a city for work, ours is paid is the only reason), but I was one. JB has a point. This was a very slow attack...it took about 2 minutes of the video (which didn't cover from time of arrival) to get water on the fire. Since the video doesn't show from the time the guys got on scene, their time to water had to be longer than 2 minutes. So, a deck gun would have easily knocked a lot of it down while crews prepared handlines to mop op the rest. Not saying they did a bad job; they got it done. But, even the best firefighters in the world can learn something from each fire. Not always an option, for example when you have a more interior fire, but in this case a deck gun is a tool they could have used. I cant knock them for having so many guys on scene. Totally not necessary, but this is standard for NJ volley departments. Working fire tones go out, and every member who has ever lived shows up, and 80% of them don't need to be there.
Nobody. It's a large Jersey coast township with 4 companies. 100% volunteer, except for nearby Lakewood Township, which has 24 HR paid staffing. Membership in the area is pretty strong, and they have God's Gift to Firefighters in that area.... separate first aid squads.

@@slackjawedyokel1 Barry!, I'm a current veteran FF and will say the cops job on scene once the FD arrives is scene control. Besides, what if a bystander was actually an arsonist? Happens all the time.
Safety issue. There are a million different scenarios that could happen that would have put him in danger. Better to play it safe and keep people off the fire ground.
Those houses are VERY close together in a 55 & up community. They probably had multiple stations respond just in case it got out of hand. Better safe than sorry.
That’s about average response to a fire down the shore they hit it heavily with manpower and equipment Better Safe Then Sorry Was PP Boro or PPB RIT ??
That wont' do anything, your window frames and the eaves won't be brick, and fire can spread from radiant heat. Most of the time, the siding just melts and is easily replaced.

Jersey police seem to be less tolerant of photojournalists than NYPD, for example. The guys covering FDNY have no trouble getting up close, with police standing right there.
Good job by all involved here and the clip was excellent too as for the cops they are there for 2 reasons to preserve the scene and to keep people at a safe distance and out of the way of the firefighters I’ve been to fires where I’ve been told to get behind the yellow line and I’ve been to 2 fires in northern New Jersey where the cops were totally cool with people taking video and pictures both major 5 alarm plus fires
I disagree, the police are there to direct traffic at scene. While active fire suppression activities are underway, the Fire Chief is in charge of the scene. Unless there is a specific need equest for police, they can continue directing traffic. If some specific issue comes up, then the police have a complainant, until then the police can continue directing traffic.
Another stand around and watch the fire video. You guys really need to train on basic tactics. Lay in… Flow water as fast as you can. You have more apparatus and manpower then the Bronx. Train, Train and train some more.
@@jeffc.4828 You're not a firefighter are you? If something is burning, it's your job to stop it.

@@MegaMantim You are correct. Tower ladders don't have deck guns but if you watch closely there is a engine company there with a deck gun at the beginning of the video 👍
I'd rather 'em show up with too much equipment than not enough. Made pretty quick work of that when it was all said and done. Hats off to politely ignoring that tyrant officers ego driven demands.
For a 55 and over community, doubtful. Probably just faulty wiring. Why do people automatically jump and point the finger at electric cars? For every 100K cars. 1500 are GAS car fires. For every 100K cars, only 25 are electric cars. But, sure, point the finger at electric cars
I’m old-school fire fighter but I do not understand this street stream crap? Video’s I watch all they do is destroy structures!! Why not several different fog patterns? Seems like straight stream justs takes away fire inspecters chance of finding start source. Don’t get it
The USA fire disservice doesn't have a clue. The deck gun could have knocked this down before the video started using tank water. They always use straight streams because someone told them to even though a cone of water will cover more material and eliminate the flames faster. Vertical Venting when venting the fire room window and putting water directly on the burning material will stop the fire before they could even get on the roof. there is no common sense in 95% of USA departments.
When the video starts, they are already there, and hoses have been pulled. That means this fire should have been out long before this video started using tank water through the deck gun. i guess all the world cares about is getting the job done eventually. Mediocrity rules. So, I don't want to hear about, "Protect and Serve" ever again. And no more hero crap either.
