Brick police got a call around 1:12 PM for a 20/20 brush fire. The first arriving units sized it up as around 2 acres and the fire was running fast into the marsh. NJFFS was alerting and started to send trucks to the scene. Command was requesting air tankers and helicopters. Due to the fire being in the marsh, there was no way to drive brush trucks back there. FF's stretched hand lines from engines off the road to reach much of the fire. The air tankers made several drops that helped the fire knockdown. The cause of the fire is unknown and is currently under investigation.
No further information at this time.

Nice and calm transmissions....well done...
You're quick man. Was listening to the scanner. Brick was busy as hell today
Premium footage. Superb in all ways!
god i love the sound of a huey nice job covering the scene and good work by the various fire units
DIGG IT ! HELL OF A JOB ON THE VID ! LOVE DRONES,ADD COMS, "TOP SHELF ! KEEP THEM COMING, EXCELLENT EDITING ! 🇺🇲👍
Absolutely love your drone footage! Good job
Another nice job man. More great drone footage too.👍
Good job. Thank you very much for keeping us safely. God bless the firefighters. Love and respect! ❤️ 🚒 🌾🌿💕
Nice job incorporating drone footage, radio transmissions and such.
Got to love the drone work
I love NJ and their brush fire deck guns
A straight stream deck gun used on a 1/4 acre brush fire aimed into power lines. WT actual F?
I live in the Herbertsville section and I could smell it and also see ash from the fire.
Nice drone job. Good coverage.
Great footage. 🤗
Yup. Just as scary as in the thumbnail. I don't know how these firefighters do it. Looks well coordinated. Ty and be safe out there. ✌️
So... you can spray water at powerlines?
Great video
Amazing drone footage what drone do you use?
Great work all
Ah, apparently dispatcher isn't familiar with fd terminology.
wow those drones are really nice bet they are great for bird watching in that marsh, imagine the bird species, so bad about the fire tho, lots of nice looking homes all have access to the water, nice.
Shared and liked
We had a great big fire here In Cape may County at a Camp ground several trailers were involved .
At that point im setting an anchor point and do a tulare drill or hose lay to get the fire out, these guys lack experience on brush fires
The fire department shouldve been called prior to the police dispatchersaying ill call them now not to mention she shouldve known what was meant by a colum. This is how houses burn down. That dispatcher needs training... i have been both a police dispatcher and a volunteer firefighter
Aerial tankers called in but you've got a drone in the air? Who determines and clears flight lines into and out of the fire zone?
Hey for future reference do not ever fly a drone over a wildland fire
Thanks we are well aware of the laws for flying drones this was submitted to us!
Phragmites ... burns hot and fast ......
why worry about a boat? fire boat im assuming.. but looking at it.. why not put your resources on that right flank to protect the structures and let the rest just burn o the water? im asking why? not tryiin to start a fight.
Requesting a tanker drop for a 2 acre brush fire with a highway buffer between structures and bordered by swamp?
Must be nice having those resources. We don't get a tanker for a thousand acres with a hundred structure exposures.
2:52 WTH is that green engine doing using toxic foam to fight a fire in what looks like marshland!!!!
So this has been bugging me . Robert king and Douglas Hayes New Jersey has an forestry department and a Volunteer Fire Departments for each town in ocean county NJ . This is a common factor in there spring & summer months . To answer Robert‘s question you would not leave the pavement with an 80000 to 175000 dollar equipment especially into a marshland fire . And the drone footage is by a private CZcamsr GREAT Job by him . Plus to throw in that day was Very windy . Sorry I had to comment on this due to my self being a Firefighter .
(Brush Truck)
Backpack sprayers and a head fire to stop it on the downwind side. Apparently you've never taken a Wildlands burn class 😂
@@yougonnaeatthat9889 apparently you don’t think outside the Box and YOU are a closed minded person I feel from your response . I have set plenty of back fires and was involved with MAJOR Wildfires !!! Listen youngster you think you know everything till you know nothing & Die !!!
There is an endles supply of water from those two canals accross the street. Are the pumpers set up to use them?
Most trucks can draft, but id have have municipal water going through my pump if its right there
Damn they needed a chopper in Kentucky on my department we just send our brush trucks in and possibly a bull dozer never needed a bulldozer had multiple fires bigger than this
The eleventh month hasnt been yet
It's American they put the month first so that was April
Amazing footage of what not to do.
Is there live video???
Live video? Do you think the drone captured the video before the fire or after they fire had taken place?
1:27 - A monitor operator with a death wish. Electric lines are not insulated and hitting them with a water cannon would be very dangerous.
I’m a electrician and hitting them with a direct flow of water wouldn’t end pretty for anyone.
@@karlanderson3523 It’s really much less dangerous than you think with municipal water. The real danger is shorting two phases- like 13.8 kV over 2-3’’- you can get a massive arc flash. Tap water brokenn stream all the back to the deck gun is a poor conductor.
Not saying it’s safe, but it’s done enough that firefighters loose fear of it.
Live????
wait, how many drops did that AT-802 make? and do yall havea lot of wildland fires there? being in california all my life.. well until i moved to utah a couple years ago.. i was kinda surprised to see that tanker lol
Yea, not big ones here but a little south theres larger ones. Currently 2500 acres on fire about 20 mins southwest
@@michaelmignone5869 oh i see, thanks for the reply, i used to enjoy watching the tankers drop on fires, everyone watches,lol. and when i first started,california was still using the radial engines on the S2's.there was a B-17 still working and the DC-4' and DC-6s.. fun to watch.. oh and the P2V neptunes.
@19:15 little "mini me" air tankers
I think you meant @9:15. Those are SEATs. Single Engine Air Tanker.
Good job with the drone and video
This might just be me, but from the video, it seems this conglomerate of fire companies is Ill prepared for wildland fires. In the state I live in, most stations around here have brush trucks. This being one of the states in the middle of the East Coast.
The area is swampland. A brush Truck would sink as soon as it leaves the road. We have a lot of similar area in our first run area. Very difficult to fight. You basically hit what you cab from the road and protect exposures.
@@thebaldeagle655 Interesting. Thanks.
It needs to burn. Protect structures and let it go to the water.
Scene control should’ve been better vehicles running over fire hoses is not a good situation
Large brush fire. Lol
"Large" lol... it is not.
What that pumper doing using the monitor? I think the fire is well ahead
so just a quick question / comment...... y'all must not deal with wildland fire very often.... is it not a very common thing? doesn't seem like anyone has the equipment readily available.... we of course deal with it frequently so have more then big engines... good job keeping it contained....
My thoughts exactly as I watched this. My structural department trains regularly for wildland fires with the DNR office. I was impressed when I joined them after 17 years of wildland fire, that they were an exception to the rule of "structural departments are horrible at wildfires". These guys...? The deck gun is not a great tool for wildland fire.
No these departments dont usually get wild land fires
South/central New Jersey had a history of large wildfires in the past. Thousands of acres of pine trees that burn hot once they get going. This year has been particularly dry and the fires are getting bigger. Great job by forestry and the local FDs to contain this fire. Great video and drone footage 👍
And to add, the state Forrest fire service is phenomenal and has a plethora of equipment so most municipalities dont stock up on their own brush trucks. Normally a 2½ or a single brush unit but nothing crazy
@@joe_mosc NJ forestry has been working their asses off the last month. There’s a 2500 acre fire still burning about 20 miles from this fire.
Command to the drone, a little to the left. Nice video. They should have parked a pumper at the water and drafted. Full Pressure.
Why would they do that when they had perfectly good hydrant supply
A great video displaying why wildand firefighters think structural firefighters are less than useless on wildland fires. Like shooting the deck gun at the fire (and missing). Anchor and flank. Fight from the black. Using hand tools, a tractor plow, or a marshrig, create a fire brake and use a drip torch to light off the side of the brake closest to the active fire. Watch the other side for spot fires. And unless you want your crews getting sapped quickly, give them light weight Nomex or Kevlar jumpsuits. Bunkers will just slow you down and wear you out. For the fire brakes, class A foam is your friend. My crews could've handled this with a marsh rig, 2 brush trucks, and a total crew of 6-8.
Yet somehow they managed just fine without you and your blowhole
Need air attack
You really shouldn't fly your drone at a brush fire! Especially when air assets are requested. But you know that and just ignore it.
If you're in contact with incident command, they know you're flying, and are okay with it, then it's just fine. Tools of the modern day. Used to be we'd ground all aircraft when a drone as sighted. Now, we just want to know where you're flying it, we want to see the birds eye view of our fire if possible, and you need to be willing to move it to a different location or land it if we ask you to. Basically if we know where it's flying and the pilot is willing to leave/relocate if asked, we can see it as another lookout.
1. I was not flying someone submitted me this. 2. They came down as soon as the NJFFS arrived on scene. The drone was grounded before any air ops were even started. Thanks you.
stfu he wasnt in the air when air assets were dispatched
