Small town cops, don’t understand the fire ground, I’d blame the training.

It's like the RCMP blocking runaway truck ramps 😂

NO SHIT...!!!@@jerseyshorefireresponse

He looks like he just graduated high school.

Just a tropical jerk cop on a power trip.

not training thats needed. Professional paid fire depts are needed.

Volunteer firefighters can be trained as well as professional firefighters. In fact, where I live alle firefighters get the same training. 2 mins 15 secs between arrival and first drips of water is way too slow. Should be less than 30 secs.

@@ivowitkamp7587 oh brother here we go… you don’t get the same training as someone who does it as full time job.. plus full timer typically get way more work cause they usually work in areas that actually get fires.

@@bobbys1984 you know nothing of where I live. All firefighters get the same firefighting-training. Yes profs get more experience due to more incidents in their area. But when a volunteer completed training, he can opt for a career in firefighting without additional training if there is a position available at a station with professionals. Also, during summer and winter holiday season, it is not uncommon that some volunteers actually do some of the 24hr shifts at a occupied station while some of the career-colleagues are enjoying a holiday with their family. Only those who opt to become driver-operator, diver (water-rescue), straw-roof specialism, nature fire fighting or chief etc get additional training to gain their specialism. Volunteers can also do those trainings to specialize, depending on what specialism are performed by their station. Around 80% of all firefighters in my country are volunteers.

@@ivowitkamp7587 1. I know that where you live doesn’t get many fires cause volunteers don’t work in heavy workload inner cities, anywhere. 2. You basically just told me that you scab out the job when other career guys could be getting OT pay instead, you’re coming in there like a rat working their shifts for free. 🤦🏻‍♂️

That's what you took away from this video???

I was about to comment the same thing lol

Yea Ryan handled that just fine Let the dude film, He is also allowed to do his job.

The cop should have something to do better than harass the other side of the street.

Always completely agree and comply. Move away then move back. Works for me.

Glad you like them!

Yep. Set-up fascinates me and can make or break a battle

You don’t get pre arrival videos when paid people are there. Cause a guy with a scanner isn’t beating them to every fire.

@@bobbys1984 Exactly.

Videographer sure catches a lot of flak from Law Enforcement on these scenes. I would be looking to partner with the local FD to share the videos for training purposes in exchange for enough of a uniform to not be hassled while documenting these incidents. Hat and a jacket maybe? Tell PD to go work on traffic!

I'm at one with you on this issue.

It's typical with these N.J. VFD's. This guy beats the FD to the scene WAY too often. All the FD's in this area should be career not volly anyway.

Sounded like he was too busy messing with the outriggers to give them water, ya know, ladders put out fire not water

Me to, put the pump in gear before leaving the truck then recec. tank to tank till they got hoses out, then bam, water flowing.

@@KZfaq_Professor This. If you have to connect a line or what ever, that water is ready to send, and you already know you have pressure and just need to set it at whatever pressure setting you need.

i know the girl that lives there. she is one of my best friends so devastating for her😢thankfully no injuries

I lost everything in a storage unit fire no thanks to my moms stupid off and on fling leaving a candle to burn in there… it absolutely sucks. :/

@@autumn9067 Did everyone including animals get out safe?

@@sharongagnist6428 yes thankfully

@@autumn9067 thank you for the update.

Brick FD is a complete "how not to" example.

I agree with you on this one. The videographer was safe from the fire & not in any ones way. I don't think cop was on a power trip, just wanted to keep people safe & from the area. I think we need people recrding these things as they often record when things go wrong & can be used later for training, that's very important.

It is the same everywhere. Cops get adrenalin up, think they should be doing something but there is nothing for them to do so they hassle the photographers.

@@philsmidwestclassiccars150 Unfortunately I believe it is a power trip. And worse than that, many of these small communities in NJ don't want their fire operations being recorded in order to protect themselves from lawsuits or criticism. It's just a sad fact that not enough money is given to these departments to be as good as they can be.

@@ecw5394 these districts could pay firefighters anytime they want and they certainly can afford it with the amount of tax revenue they’re receiving.

Yes, the cop was definitely on an authoritarian power trip. You were not doing anything wrong. Thank you for continuing to record.

Very poor fire tactics though they destroyed the whole house for no reason.

@@user-tt1ge1yi3qvolunteers… embarrassing to have to rely on them when taxes are this high.

@@bobbys1984 This region of NJ absolutely should be 100% career FD's.

You have been knocked in the head. How long have you been a knowitall?

i was just wondering when the guys at the front door just yacking no line advacentment no ladder work . i would be embaresed if it were company and it looks like they are chief .

@@lilakyne7590 Do you carry ladders on your recliner?

Like who would go inside a burning house fire? That's dangerous

Or greasy rags.

Your obviously not in the fire service, most truck companies dont have a tank or pump, there supplied by an engine.

You are making my point. I did say "engine". They all need to have a supply on on-board water to use while hooking to a hydrant. Hopefully there are hydrants. @@user-tt1ge1yi3q

You are. They are.@@user-tt1ge1yi3q

First due in this case didn’t have a tank. Second due did. They were waiting on water supply. So with the order the trucks came and their equipment on scene they had an excellent arrival to water time.

​@user-tt1ge1yi3q this truck does have a supply as you clearly see. I'll believe it if it was a Tiller truck

How.....VERY..............TRUE!.........KUDOS!!

You've already posted that a month ago. It's still as bad as it was then.

Let's stop and get an education before we let everybody know we're sub-literate.

FALSE TROLL.. THERE'S WAS WATER ON THE FIRE JUST KEEP WATCHING

Yes they got water in it but it took 5 mins. We have water on a fire within 60 seconds of arrival with high pressure reels while hydrants are hooked up. Something that US fire departments got rid of for some reason 🤷🏼‍♂️

i often wonder same thing! my old chief would have had our hide for that

🤡🤡👈👈

Basic fire fighting would be to use a deck gun.

Cops don't like cameras

Appreciate what? Allowing another house to burn down?

@@bobbys1984 That's what these people get for not demanding a career fire dept. in an area that could EASILY support them.

I love when people who don’t have a clue what they’re talking about comment

@@stevechisamore8691 are you talking about me, been a career firefighter for over a decade. And watch the volunteer model fail time and time again in certain areas.

​@stevechisamore8691 I love when people like you make insecure comments like yours while not explaining where and how people show that they have no clue. Aren't you projecting just a little?

Some FD jurisdiction’s SOP’s are against aggressive firefighting, sadly.

If you watch closely enough, you can see them shooting water through holes in the roof from the inside WHILE the ladder pipe is in operation. Which is absolutely asinine to me. You never have crews operating inside while the ladder pipe is flowing....

agreed, but their biggest problem in that area is response time. Everyone of this kids videos him and the cops are on scene waiting a lifetime for the first company to arrive.

@@justanotherguy1110 thats true, but this fire should have never had to utilize a master stream.

@@bobbys1984 I agree with you there....

I totally agree, boss!

@@mgratk lmao Alright chief

The only thing that is cringeworthy here is the goober telling us “ it’s rippin several times and other asinine comments like “ it’s chugging “ . The cop was doing his job. Sometimes you get away with standing on the lawn of the burning house and film … other times you gotta stand across the street . We still understand what’s happening

Hey boss let me tell you what you are going to do. And yes, we pay their salary so we are boss.

I've been to a lot of fires in NJ. The cops are tyrants. Its as simple as that. Sometimes they will yellow tape an entire block just to avoid operations being recorded. Frequently nothing to do with safety@@BigDuke-md8ec

House and contents were a loss? It was an exterior fire with extension into the attic. There’s a hell of a lot of house and contends that can still be saved.

@@BrianM1023 dude this is knock down..fire was embarrassingly handled. the fact that it start outside and made it into the house is black and white proof why in most areas down the shore, you should have a paid service. but nothing changes down there, the circus continues to ensue.

@@bobbys1984 why don’t you go down there and volunteer there. It seems like you’re quite an authority on fire fighting. I’m sure they would appreciate somebody with all of your expertise helping them out. It’s very enjoyable, being a volunteer firefighter being pulled away from your family events on a regular basis, spending countless hours training, being awaken in the middle of the night to go do manual labor that keeps you up all night long. So you can go to your job the next day with no sleep. And you get to do this for no pay.

Think he meant only the D side

NOT at all, no one did a 360, no one checked if the structure was occupied, no one even went to the front door, If PD was there first the door should have been opened if they evacuated.

“Fully involved” is probably the most overused terminology in the fire service, followed closely by “first due”

@@user-tt1ge1yi3q you’re saying PD should have opened the door?

He was implying that the D side was fully involved, not the structure.

Correct! Sometimes cops are uneducated & that’s ok, just no need to scream at me.

I’m pretty sure that British firefighter are never going to complain about having too much manpower. It allows crews to cycle in and out.

Position don’t park

100% volunteers

Well said sir

Problem is, volunteer or not these guys lack in training. It's evident in literally every single video. Being a volunteer departments does not excuse you from not knowing how to do your job quickly & efficiently. Some of us with negative comments definitely know what we're talking about, and it shouldn't have taken a ladder pipe (in the wrong setting at that) to put this fire out. A crew or two with an 1 3/4 or two, some hooks, & some good ole fashioned aggressive INTERIOR firefighting should have no problem putting this fire out. Meanwhile they had a ladder pipe up with a crew inside, a guy spraying water on the siding from outside doing absolutely nothing (when he switched from exposure protection to watering the siding of the involved house.) That's not good practice, volunteer or not.

"From what I understand these are all volunteer departments. It was 2:30 in the morning, these guys are all home sleeping." I volunteered a long time then added the career part. The remaining volunteer services need to adapt or die unfortunately. Lightweight type V construction, plus all the polymers used in modern construction and household goods, takes away the luxury of time from the FD and, more importantly the victims (homeowner), that was once afforded by dimensional lumber. Fires burn hotter, the smoke is WAY more toxic, and the structure does not maintain stability as long. Live-in programs are one way our volunteer companies are trying to help ensure there is a crew at the station when minutes matter. You mentioned engines/quints bringing 500 gallons of water. They need to evaluate the response area and know what resources are available/needed. 500 gallons is appropriate when you know the next in engine is right behind you or you have a reliable hydrant system. Quints are appropriate in certain instances but in this particular case it is showing its achilles heel. If the department is resource limited then they shouldnt be showing up in an engine with less than 750-1000 gallons and most definitely not using a quint as their first due piece. The value in a quint is the ability for it to be either a special service piece or a fast attack engine. They SUCK at operating as both at the same time. That problem is magnified when there is a lack of consistent training. Volunteers are still an integral part of the community but many of them fall victim to complacency, failure to adapt, and inability to maintain appropriate (safe) staffing. I'm by no means a volunteer hater being that I was/am one, but VFDs need to realize when their customers call they are expecting a professional quality of service. It is incumbent upon the leadership and crews of volunteer companies to stay trained, adaptable, and responsive to the communities needs which is a monumental task given the shape of our economy and the cost of living. People have to work and have less time to volunteer/train. This is why career departments are having to come in and take over, because it is in the best interest of the safety of the community. I empathize with what you are saying and there are a vast majority of people on here that don't even have half a clue what it takes but there are flaws that the common person could point out in what you are saying that are legitimate issues.

That's because the first piece of apparatus doesn't carry water so they had to wait for a water source.

if your first piece doesn't have water, it has no business being sent first due to a structure fire plus, that ladder had a pump and probably a tank. im sure it had at least 3 min worth of water to get going. Of course, Brick FD is the slowest FD on the planet, so they likely couldnt have relayed or gotten a hydrant hookup quick enough anyway.@@Brian13549

@@Brian13549 the first unit was a Quint. It has water and a pump. You can put a lot of fire out with 500 gallons of tank water.

You should see the old siding that was used on older homes from the 1930’s-1960’s It was called Insulbrick.. or as us older generation firefighters used to call..”Gasoline Siding” It was siding made of fiberboard and bitumen usually with a crushed stone coating exterior like roofing shingles. It was a very inexpensive construction material back in the day and was visually appealing. It can still be seeing in older cities, towns. Most of which was just covered over with aluminum siding and vinyl siding came after that.

@@concretefireman8009 I started my construction career in the industrial area's of the north east back in the 80's... Cement and steel area's. I remember insulbrick. Most houses were balloon framed. People would use it to cover old wood siding then we would run vertical furring strips over it and install vinyl siding. Sometime we would use Styrofoam sheets before the furring. Nothing but a big pile of fuel but thought nothing of it back then. The problem with vinyl siding today is the houses are being built so close together that when one catches on fire, it melts the siding off 3 other houses.

Officers of the law but he let his feelings get to him.

Rumor has it back in the booming build time of brick, a six pack got you past your building inspection. My house has drywall as sheathing I’m in the north end of town.

Brick New Jersey is a volunteer fire dept so you probably get what gets staffed first

As did I.

Sigh. Yep.

You sure do love your heroes.

upon arrival that fire was already through the attic first off was protect exposure and get that shed out you can see it has already burned out the corner of the house would not have done any good to go interior right away and let the exposure go up

@@jays106​​⁠yeah the corner of the house was heavily involved but what difference does that make?? So any dwelling structure that is heavily involved in one area is now a total write off… fuck outta here. That first arriving apparatus had enough manpower to get two lines in service right off the bat. But instead they wanted to play hit it hard from the yard. Also in reference to the exposure… take the time to look up times til involvement in flames rather than just sustaining damage from radiant heat of basic building materials like siding. You’ll find that your exposure is not your number one concern. Most importantly, you saying that hitting the exposure from the exterior is the first thing that should be done tells me all I need to know about you.

What's a first and second attack? I'm 17 and want to be a firefighter.
