- JFRD responded to a broken gas line at a construction site where crews along with the hazmat team worked hard to try and stop this leak.
Keep in mind that temperatures outside were in the upper 90's with heat indexes over 100 degrees with full bunker gear in tow while working in a dirt/mud hole.
Sit back and watch as crews apply one clamp and were unable to expose enough pipe for a second clamp.
No injuries were reported durning this call.

And thanks for watching...
Thank you all, big guys🧑🚒🧑🚒🧑🚒. Thank all the big guys of the world .
Thank you Ladies & Gentlemen of JFRD !!! We’re so blessed to have such an amazing team keeping us safe. We can do big things with UNITY.
First fire department hazmat team in the country, we work hard.
i am surprised the fire dept has to fix the leak and not the gas company. Never seen that before. Usually the gas company where i live use brass shovels so they dont create a spark. Your guys did a good job as usual.
We do not fix the leak...we mitigate and provide safety to our residents and then turn it back over to the gas company to fix.
@@thejfrd2490 oh ok nice to know
Thanks to JFRD for keeping Jacksonville a safe place to live. 🚒🚑
You are welcome! Thanks for letting us!
I assume nobody called the Call Before you Dig line.
what a sweaty and dangerous job.. Appreciate your personnel. ~Cat in Brevard Co.
I think it was a bit more than that, this is not contract work like you're thinking
It is sweaty and dangerous!
Welcome Cat in Brevard Co
@thejfrd2490 Just wearing all that gear is a lot of work let alone exerting all that energy and risking your life!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@Leipuanani we need to stay fit
Just a quick observation and past experience of these gas line cuts. I am sure you guys are aware, but the excavator can ignite the natural gas vapors by it intaking the fumes and igniting it thru the combustion chamber of the engine. Very risky move having any machinery or vehicles operating near a gas leak like that. I have experienced a air compressor near a hole like that with gas blowing and ignite the entire work site. Be safe guys!!
Have ya'll considered doing Fleet Friday videos???
This makes me appreciate our natural gas provider being equipped and trained to do this themselves. I’ve got no problem standing by with a charged hoseline….
We get there first normally and work with them once they arrive.
I thought that anything deeper than 3 feet had to have cribbing in it before a person may go in the hole.
It is actually 5 feet...but thanks for looking out for us.
prayers for all of them!
Amen
all ways the best.
thank you
This is not smart at all, that is in a very explosive situation and fire gear isn't going to save you when it ignites. They should always dig back and pinch the line
What are your qualifications?
Why is the FD doing the gas companies job??
So it’ll be done right.. 😂
Because contractor dont have mask protect themselves. you would knock out in couple mins if you try this
We aren't, there is a hazard, we are eliminating the hazard to protect our citizens...then the gas company fixes it.
@fireboyny1037 that really is not the reason, we are paid to remove hazards...we have the training and the equipment to do so....contractors are not going to get "knocked out" as you suggest.
@k.powell5910 thanks!
