Great little video of a rapid response, preventing the spread of a brush fire. Thank you for all of the clips you provide for our entertainment.

Well done to the quick response and knockdown. We were evacuated two years ago from what. started as a small fire that spread out of control. Thank you to the brave firefighters every where. #PineStrawberryStrong.

As a volunteer firefighter and retained/on call firefighter from Australia, I was going nut watching this firefighter walk into the smoke with no respiratory protection, no head protection and only a over coat, but just in general what makes me pissed is when firefighters wear half there gear on the fireground, your PPC is there for a reason. Love the fact you beat the engine and all the appliances

5:34 awesome horn. Love that rig

They have some nice equipment.

Awesome response times by all involved!

Love the breakers. Your area, northern Michigan, and Cape Code (where I started on the job) are the only places in the US who have them and know how to use them. We used to keep 300' coils of 1" cotton jacket charged in 4 x 4' boxes on top of the tank. It was soooo much lighter and easier to drag around - came off easily because it was charged already and was relatively easy to put back up with just 2 guys. The drop-down steps on the back - those are brilliant!

As an Aussie the fact they only had jeans and the jacket on hurt my brain bc if there’s a fire no matter what it’s full PPE but cool to see the difference

Back in the day the police could have dealt with this with the shovels they carried or anyone else, but people don’t seem to do that anymore. Anyway’s nice job of stopping the spread.

On April 7th at approximately 4:15 PM, the Brick Police department received a call for a brush fire in the vicinity of 500 Burnt Tavern Rd, with a cross of Route 70. The officers quickly arrived on the scene and found a working fire on the side of the road that was spreading back into the tree line. The fire was burning slowly, and homes were located around 50-100ft away from the area of the fire. In response to the call, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) was dispatched, and B-34 was already in the area, arrived shortly after the initial response. The responders quickly took action and had water on the fire, which was estimated to be about 20X10 FT in size. The second responding unit, 2479, arrived on the scene as the situation was being brought under control. They stretched their booster line and began attacking the fire as well. Due to the swift response and efforts of the responders, the fire was quickly contained and extinguished. Crews remained on the scene to mop up the area for approximately 30 more minutes to ensure there were no remaining embers or hot spots that could reignite the fire. After the final check, the responders cleared the scene. At this time, the cause of the fire is unknown, and no further information is available. Brush fires are a common occurrence during the spring season, and it is crucial to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to prevent them from happening. The responders' quick response, coordinated efforts, and expertise helped control the situation and avoid any further damage or injuries. It is essential to note that brush fires can pose a significant threat to the environment and wildlife, as well as human lives and properties. It is essential to follow safety guidelines and regulations when dealing with fire or using fire outdoors, especially during dry weather conditions. To prevent brush fires, one should avoid burning outdoors, especially during dry or windy weather conditions. It is also crucial to follow all local regulations and guidelines regarding outdoor burning, including obtaining proper permits and clearance from the authorities. Additionally, one should ensure that any flammable materials such as leaves, debris, or firewood are stored away from structures and not near flammable materials like gas tanks or propane tanks. It is also essential to maintain a clear area around homes and structures to prevent brush fires from spreading. In the event of a brush fire, it is crucial to call the authorities immediately and evacuate the area if instructed to do so. It is also essential to follow all instructions from the authorities and avoid attempting to fight the fire alone. In conclusion, brush fires can be dangerous and destructive if not managed promptly and efficiently. It is vital to take all necessary precautions to prevent brush fires from happening and to respond quickly and effectively in case of an emergency. The efforts of the responders in the Burnt Tavern Rd incident serve as a reminder of the importance of fire safety and the vital role that first responders play in protecting our communities.

I put out something of the sort with a 2.5 gal water can just a couple weeks ago, though for me there was no wind and it contained itself largely on the center median. With wind and on the shoulder it will spread really quickly and I wouldn't doubt it if it was a cigarette, its been very aggravatingly common here.

Great video. We were supposed to have fire weather on Long Island . Cloudy and calm all day.👍

i love the mad max fire rigs

PPE? We don’t need to stinkin’ PPE. If you’ve got time to get to the hall, you’ve got time to pull your wildland gear on, your family will thank you.

This video is cool thanks for making it

Quick response Quick knock down that wind would have done a lot of damage good job

Good job👍

Great video

As a former firefighter in New York myself as I’ve seen in some of the comments below the utter lack of safety I saw in this video is a direct result of poor training. I see that it is a small fire but don’t let that fool you , it’s always dangerous.blue jeans and no gloves or air pack is 100% a NO NO. !! This is why firefighters get hurt or even die.

Always gotta see how far we can go before the cops say please move 😂😂. Great video. As usual! You do really great work bro.

Local police always park where best fire attack would be. DA!

Liked and shared

Good Job Brothers, With That Wind Things Could Have Lit Up! Better To Have Apparatus, And Not Need It!,🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒

Gentle suggestion. A can in your trunk is $125 and you can do miracles with it while waiting for your rigs.

It's been 6 years since I moved from there but I knew immediately that was North of Rt. 70. It looks like the jughandle across from the post office.

2479 is a sweet truck.

Showing up in full structure turnouts for a brush fire is a no no, here in california cal fire all we use is dual complian nomex pants and brush jacket with some missoulas

Maybe because I'm in a smaller town but do you ever feel awkward getting close and filming these things. I went and took pictures on a brush fire we had a week ago and although I was just taking pictures from a far I felt a bit awkward like they might question me.

Are those rigs home made military surplus or does a actual company make them?

How come departments on the east coast deck out their brush rigs with all those roll bars, and big brush guards? Looks like Mad Max style vehicles. You rarely see that with brush rigs on the west coast. 🤔

Clear evidence it was caused by a lit cigarette tossed from an automobile window. This is why they make ash trays for the automobile. They come in very handy even during windy days or during fire bans, which include smokers.

This brush fire did look very big

Love truck 2479

All of them I want to see all the trucks

At least the grass on the other side of the road didn’t catch

Which State Forrest? Forrest Gump?

They whip in there with that first truck 😂😂😂

Are you a actual firefighter if are can you show all the fire trucks in obsessed

A couple shots of an extinguisher would stop the spread

Is it doubtful??

I enjoy these videos and I understand the multi apparatus response but seriously, the size of the fire where the video started; I think I could of have stomped that fire out with sneakers on, let alone with the shoes the cops wear.

Brush 34.

Cigarette thrown out the window of a car??!!

And it took three cops to confirm a brush fire. They couldn’t help themselves, they had to act important and have you move. Pathetic

1st one arrives 1 person dressed in civvies, does put a jacket on and goes in by himself, are civvies classed as PPE? (Personal Protective Equipement) then a second person turns up again civvies and puts on a jacket. then 2nd unit turns up again in civvies, i never knew jeans were fire proof. then real firefighters turn up fully dressed Well Done them. Yes it was only a small fire, but it doesn't stop you getting burnt. I hope they got repremanded and given more intensive training on how to dress and not attend alone.

cops could have put that out with fire extinguishers in cars. Just stand there with there head in there butt.

Why smoking should be banned nationwide. DID you know? Aerial fireworks were banned in most states for two reasons. 2nd reason is the chemicals were deemed unhealthy for the environment (which is strange being those chemicals are allowed in most food and tobacco products). The #1 reason is starting fires. But here is a fact-Lit tobacco products are responsible for fires that burn over 6 million acres annually, whereas fire works are responsible for less than half that. Any way that road is not really traveled on a lot so most likely some one being stupid,

Talk about overreacting. In my day I would have handled it myself with a broom rake. Might have been better off to burn out the small area so there would be no need for an additional response.

My word - 3 State Forest Fire Brush trucks for a brush fire 10 feet off the road that the Police could have put out with a fire extinguisher. No wonder my NJ taxes are so high!

After 35 years as a VFF, I got little to say. The fire was put out but turnout gear and SCBAs were sadly lacking.

So you stand on the EDGE of the road filming and Ego Cop tells you to move. Then the Cops stand right smack in the MIDDLE of the road. Geniuses.

just let it burn itself out, ground is very wet still

Wow great commentary.!!!🙄🙄🙄🙄
