They could use your size 14 shoe. Lumox Firefighter 101.

I have been in the fire service in The same county I have been president a couple years of the county Fireman Association so I’ve gotten to know some of the guys they are pretty damn squared away and do some kick ass Stuff

1000 percent agree! This response was impressive in several ways. An early alarm, and well trained crew / incident commander, an an impressive response time! This crew had everything in their favor minus the short staffed 2 man engine first due. All said and done this crew deserves recognition for an overall incredible performance! WELL DONE 22

Not really. They got very lucky.

​@@jedeckert8912 maybe but even so, that doesn't matter. They still did a good job.

@@jedeckert8912 Everybody is a Monday morning quarterback I love it

I wouldn’t call that a worker at all we might call workers differently though. But I can only see what the video shows.

You mean the chief arrived and declared it a working fire. The first few minutes of this video are a buff with a radio not a firefighter onscene. Imagine calling 911 and ur place is on fire and this idiot shows up first

Probably cause they knew they were gonna have short staff, go ahead and get more en route in case it gets out of hand would be my assumption.

They upgraded it because of manpower issues. It’s better to have more crews on the way and then recall them if not needed, rather than have no additional crews with a short staffing and call for 2nd alarm when the fire is getting worse

There were actually two on the engine and there were other FFs on scene prearrival. He also had a backup arrive within a few seconds.

he did a great job upgrading the fire due to the conditions mutual aid was close and ready to go, not to mention district 2 was fully staffed two ladders. Brenton woods also sent an engine along with a rescue for this fire.

​@@jerseyshorefireresponsethey should give u a radio to transmit on so u can tell them it's an active fire quickly since u were first on the scene

@@geoffg8840 unfortunately that’s not even remotely close to possible since he is not a member or line officer of any department to my knowledge. And in NJ I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to own a two way radio as a civilian

@@jasoncrawford532 i know. I was only joking.

Small town, all volly any working fire is a 2nd alarm just how the town works. Wasn’t over kill

A couple other comments clear this up but here ya go. There was a another active call going on gas leak with Evac so everyone else tied up with that. This came in as a smoke scare I was first on scene, that wasn’t the Chief 2120 he was on the local garbage truck and in the area so responded directly to the scene they are both active members who came off the trash truck. As for me filming I felt I was in a safe distance & with the owners of property. At anytime if someone asks me to move I do right away. Yes anything coulda happened but I’m ready for that. I’m also wearing a fireproof jacket on scenes. Due to the active fire and short staffed I think they thought it was best to knock it before it spread, I think that was the right call with only being a reported small fire at the time from the owners. I can’t speak for the company just what I saw on scene the fire was contained & out very quickly & saved the building by there fast actions.

This is 100% vollly town & all of the mutual aid is also

He can't hear you. Nobody listens to you anyway.

@@RLTtizME its a safety issue basic FF nobody goes in a FIRE wo a hood

@@chrisclanton9490 He can't hear you. You don't understand. So did you get all of your training on You Tube Comments?

No I was a 23 yr veteran FF And I was volunteer for all of that. It’s not being mean , just wondering.

@@chrisclanton9490 He probably forgot it. Mistakes happen. Good to point it out.

They were on the garbage truck down the road & responded directly to the scene.

Departments have different policies to meet 2 in 2 out requirements.

If you are in a volunteer fire department area. Yes, you might see some fire fighters showing up not dressed yet. It is what it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or a thousand other causes. Sit back in your recliner.

not a ff but I live in this town. I explained to the guys who own this business this and that I carry an extinguisher in my car if they needed, when he showed me the smoke I new it was out of control already.

@@jerseyshorefireresponse smart choice not going in. How come you havent volunteered?

Drone ops

Went Second Alarm due to that’s just how this town operates. The fire was out with a 1 manned engine company.

Daytime fire in a volunteer department is kryptonite. Some times it’s needed just To get asses in seats.

You forget they were already out on another active call so it’s better to call a 2nd alarm than to scrounge what you can from then initial alarm.

When a volunteer you never know who will show up 2nd called in for extra coverage.

They did just fine. Take the day off.

what if nobody showed up!

@@hadtobethere1328 So it's okay to be injured or killed?

Yeah, backing that rig up did nothing other than block a ladder truck if this took off

It’s a 1 story commercial with access for a ladder on the Bravo side in the parking with no obstacles. Would be easier for them to set up in the parking lot next door and the can be reached with ground ladders

Like the description says very short staffed for this fire (full volunteers) the guy can’t drive with his tank on either can the chiefs or any officers so you’ll always see them putting on gear on FG.

When does the driver have time to get the air pack on while getting the engine to the scene? Think it would be safe while doing so? They have a 2 man crew the other guy working the radio. I'm sure if they had 3 or more personnel on the truck 2 would have been ready mask and all but turn the air on

They're wearing their seat belts on the way to the fire. Everything but the SCBA usually gets put on before leaving the station.

So, that's the excuse. ALL stations tied up, let's let one engine with one firefighter handle instead of Mutual Aid that isn't tied up. Sounds safe. SMH.

@@Bernie0481USMC We got a pro here! You clearly don't know how volunteer fire service works.

Didn't even see fire (in the video) that means nothing major, shouldn't be a 2nd alarm at all....

@@MeirLichtenstadter how do you know what is going on inside the building? Do you have x-ray vision? They are volunteers and most of their other guys were tied up with a previous in progress call. It's better to call in the extra resources and not need them, versus needing them and not having them

My profession is a pro photographer I’ve been shooting for over 10 years ahah thanks for the tips, boss

Camera work was fine. Not shaky or unstable. A hell of a lot better than many other firefighting videos.

Not sure what you watched keyboard warrior

They showed up and put the fire out in haste. No windows unnecessarily smashed and no doors kicked in. How in any way shape or form was this not "well coordinated"?

What was slow? Fire was under control in minutes of the first engine to arrive. Bang up job for a 2 man crew.

My wife says the same thing.

Someone can’t read the video description apparently…

Let's post videos online than get mad at critiques and automatically cry armchair firefighter s. Typical New Gen weak PoV.

@@Bernie0481USMC what critique did you offer? You're just a loudmouth complainer.

I’m not the one here crying buddy. Sorry you got so butt hurt from my comment. Would you like to fill out a butt hurt form, it comes with a cookie and blanket.

@@Bernie0481USMC they’re volunteers. So yes you can’t read.
