- JFRD responded to a vehicle fire, that changed to a commercial vehicle fire, then turned to a commercial building fire...Smoke could be seen for miles and miles in all directions.
This fire was at a salvage yard with hundreds of engine blocks all around.
Watch as crews work in very hot temperatures in this challenging fire.
There were no injuries reported in this fire.

That was an obstacle course trying to fight that fire. Glad no one got injured. Great job fighting the fire.
That is a fact...glad you could tell what we were dealing with.
@@thejfrd2490Go to show once again how stealth your Team is 🥹🇺🇸 ~ we appreciate your dedication and selfless sacrifices. God bless you.
@@thejfrd2490 I was going to mention that I hope the Fire Marshals Office recommends some better inventory control to them in the future. Separate the steel and iron for the aluminum and they could probably get a pretty penny for some of that stuff.
With all due respect, over the course of about a dozen videos now I've witnessed female personnel both in and out of full turnout gear, stand back and perform a support or observation role. Which begs the question, do they actually participate in actual suppression or do they just enjoy the limelight offered by the status of their positions? Again I hate to be that guy but it's an alarming trend I've noticed and it keeps repeating.
My dad used to go to these junk yards for parts, glad y'all were able to take care of this fire.
Us too
Could you imagine if all those engine blocks were in the fire? I'm not sure how prevalent magnesium is in engines anymore but they are a bear to fight! It's hard to believe it's been almost 20 years since I was a fire fighter. WOW! Great job guys!
I believe magnesium is still used...but not a lot.
How much hose length do those big trucks carry? Looks like a lot.
PS -- Fire scares me to death. You're braver than me. God bless you.
Another great job done by JFRD 🔥. Thank you for your service.
Appreciate your support
Y’all did an awesome job under extremely difficult circumstances. The concentration it takes fighting a hot fire in full gear w/ 100% humidity in 90-plus degree temps is unbelievable: that in itself is dangerous. Navigating a treacherous salvage yard containing hazards, especially heavy engine blocks, tires, toxic fumes, etc, is terrifying. Y’all are heroes, as only a dedicated few would work those conditions. God bless and stay safe!
Not heros, just dedicated to our city!
Man calm down. It was less than an hour and this is their job. Let em work for that pension.
@@haulingfuel4759 oh we work for that pension...don't you worry about that
Petroleum, metal, and if there any "flamable metals" in the mix. Add in water supply issues. Then all the shin breakers setting around in the form of engine blocks and transmissions. That was a technically challenging fire and you guys got it out. Awesome job.
Agreed and thank you!
Reloading all that hose sure is going to be fun
just part of the job...TEAMWORK
Excellent footage. That was a hard fire 🔥 to fight. It was weird that the front loader was still running. You all did a fantastic job. Have a great day my friends, and stay safe ❤️🙂⚘️🚒.
thank you all the way around!
Terrible conditions to fight that fire! Glad no one was hurt. Great job you all do!
It was handled quickly
Nice work, as usual. Your team never fails to amaze me. I can only imagine the heat and the burning oil smell on site.
It was hot and steamy for sure
Thank you dispatchers
Amen! You could say that again!
Glad that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, yeah those car junkyard fires can be difficult to put out.
Been to a couple of them.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
Appreciate that.
Another great job by JFRD from a nightrain resident. 🚒
thanks 19
JFRD is awesome. That could have been so much worse. As always you guys save the day. God Bless
thank you and yes it could have been.
Strong work, Hate to say it me and my boys would have moved that running front end loader out of there and may have used it to clear a path.
Should have, could have, would have....
No injuries!
What a mess. And so many places for hot spots to hide. That must have been a booger to completely knock out! I’m glad no one got hurt navigating the piles.
We put foam on it
Well done….❤❤❤❤ I feel very sorry for the business owner.😢
Thank you...I think the business got away fairly well all things considered.
@@thejfrd2490 Good to know!
@@MaryLopez-hc7rc not a ton to burn but old car parts...they have value to the business, but I think it could be much worse.
I'm glad no fire fighters were injured. Some of the lines hanging around looked like electrical lines.
We were well aware of those lines
Outstanding job JFRD, as usual! I'm glad none of the crews got injured negotiating that junk pile..., I mean auto salvage yard.
We are glad too
wow i live in jax and may have seen this personally, thanks for all y'alls service for the community
may have???? pretty sure you would know if in fact you saw this personally.
Oh, fancy moves, crossing the streams!
Nothing fancy about it....
Outstanding response JFRD'others
It really was
Magnesium possibly with the mixture of metals is nearly impossible to put out.
we put it out fairly rapidly
Man you guys did an amazing job while getting absolutely wrecked by the heat. Great job!
it sure was hot! A quick rainfall at the beginning made it extra steamy!
You know Rookies, the reason they invented fog nozzles was to better apply water for maximum effect. It makes me crazy watching ineffective nozzlemen straight stream everything.
And the lack of used of foam on a hydrocarbon based fire
Rookies? Please tell me what department you work for? Are you a volunteer?
We used foam...watch the whole video
@@thejfrd2490 IAFF 4173, Class 1 Department. Went through Standards on Stockton St in Jax. Yes, if your nozzlemen straight stream everything and have no idea how to use a fog nozzle, they're rookies.
@@RealJeep Shocking, as a professional, I would never call another department "rookies"...we are the largest Class 1 department in the world...our department is 1900+ strong...how big is Lakeland? I think you have misread this fire as it was deep seated in many engine blocks and in amongst a lot more trash...this fire was not actually in a structure where a fog nozzle would allow the steam to help extinguish this fire...rather the steam would just rise and dissipate and not actually penetrate the seat of the fire therefore cooling it like you would want from a fog nozzle...
But thanks for your input! Come visit any time and I will show you the finest "Rookies" in the country!
I did not catch your Name and Rank, please share
One hell of a collapse hazard. and such interesting smoke patterns
not a huge structure, collapse hazard is minimal.
I am confused, when I took fire extinguisher training. The fireman told us to always spray to the base to put the fire out as soon as possible. I would think a fire would be no different. Every one of these firemen are spraying the roof. 😮😮😮
bouncing it down on the fire.
My goodness. What a challenging environment to work in, more so than a typical residential I'd imagine, with all that scrap material all over the place. Trip and cut hazards galore, failing shed structure, probably some oil, grease and other petroleum products in the mix - nicely handled.
Lots of different things to consider while working this.
I do love your videos and just found it !
Keep watching!!
Is water held in the trucks? I did not see fire hydrants.
It is...500 gallons, but that isn't enough for this fire...you can see in the video a long lay of 5 inch hose (big yellow hose)
Saving the foundation in Jacksonville
Maybe you should watch this again, and read the description...this is not a structure on a foundation
Great work JFRD --- Debbie
Thanks Debbie
6:10 how long was that lay from the hydrant it looks like it goes forever? Also I would not wanna have to roll that up lol
It was long, not sure exactly the distance, but GREAT pickup on your part.
Good Job JFRD , I know this area and luckily there is a creek right behind those buildings that may have helped with the fire but still y’all kicked that fires ass !!!!!
the creek became an issue as we used foam and runoff with contaminants
I notice the fuel tanks are taken out, and it’s not all that bad for what they are doing. We had a junkyard fire, and our “drivelines” were neatly stacked next to a building, outside. After they got “a pretty, bright orange hot”, they blew up. Hundreds of them. Some went so high, they seemed to disappear. They had to stay back for awhile. All firefighters were unharmed, “a very exciting night for the neighborhood”. Not much worse than that greasy dirt that we have in a junkyard, nice work JFRD! (Gasoline washes that grease off. That’s what we used, before lunch.)
it could have been much worse...handled quickly
Great job glad nobody was hurt where i live we had a fire in Elmwood Pk Bergen County the Marcal Plant it went to 4 alarms but they did an awesome job from spreading a few years ago the lost the whole plant
thats awesome.
Foam would have helped out a lot in this fire.
We did use foam...but thanks
Excellent coverage of JFRD. Hot day. Fine the junk yard for reckless operation and code violations. Junk yards operate under strict codes. They re not supposed to operate as a dump, even though thats where all those defective engins and parts were designed to end up.
We are not the ones who levy fines.
Another fine job.
Agreed
It looks like a ship scrap yard somewhere in India or Bangladesh with trees and an American Flag 🇺🇸. This fire must take a lot of the fighters. Thank god everyone is ok, except … the environment. Videography was excellent. Good job.
Appreciate you watching!
overhaul to get all the hotspots must have been challenging
Foam helped
Great job by everyone...
thanks
Wet stuff on the red stuff, finally at 8:54! Banking in an open structure with such fire load isn't doing much. Direct high gpm flows wins all day in this situation! Lots of obstacles, but that's how it should have been handled from the get go, imo. Obviously i wasn't there, just my opinion. JRFD always has my respect n pride! But after the first couple minutes tactics needed to be changed! No fire is the same, and everyone of them is a learning experience! Glad all yall stayed safe and went home to your families! BTW, that loader is worth millions now with its durability! HAHAHAHAHA
Collapse was an issue...there really wasn't much to save, so safety was more important than anything...sorry you don't agree with the tactics, but you also said, you weren't there...easy to command after the fire from a video monitor.
Every US fire department could do with help from the UK, Europe or Russia. The resources and manpower available should make much shorter work of fires like this. The majority of the water used in this fire was wasted aimlessly. And turning up to a fire and still needing to get dressed is bizarre.
Ho visto molti incendi in America su CZcams e qualsiasi vigile del fuoco europeo si metterebbe le mani in testa a vedere come vengono spenti negli USA. A partire dall'attrezzatura, soprattutto l'elmetto, arretrata di almeno sessant'anni, così come le tattiche per attaccare il fuoco.
We disagree...MERICA!
First units on scene are always in their bunker gear. They don't mask up till they're there on scene to save air. Additional units dress out as they arrive.
As for water, yeah you'll see that a lot where fire fighters are standing next to something burning and spraying other parts of the fire 30ft away.
But Europeans love talking shit about how Americans fight fires but they never offer any solutions that are not already in use by most US departments. Or for that matter, invented by US fire fighting services. As for man power. US crews stack more people than needed to actually fight whenever there is a big fire like this because they use them to rotate in and out as well as rescue elements should something go wrong.
When did this happen?

@@thejfrd2490 crazy I used to live in paradise village and passed this place all the time... It always seemed a little sketchy to me but just my opinion... Thanks for the hard work putting this fire out.
@@thejfrd2490 btw will y'all be releasing the video of the rooms to go truck that burned today in Oceanway?
oh wow what a hoarding mess, great job yall
salvage yard but a completely unorganized one i sure would not want to buy an engine or transmission from them in fear i get one that been laying out in the yard forever
"hoarding mess"? its a business
@jays106 actually, the engine blocks were all lined up neatly
So loader couldnt be moved out of fire zone ? Its Diesel tanks hadnt went off yet !
It was only thing holding up that part of roof, smothering the fire as it drops.
it was still running...don't think it suffered too much damage honestly
ok
my father was Fire Chief and I saw many fires in my life with him sorry to say these firemen dont look capable enough to handle such fire...the way they are working i am bit shocked one fire man was consistently throwing water on the sheet instead of throwing water on the fire under it...
Where was your dad Chief?
You are incorrect about our people...they are top notch...this fire was put out quickly.
@@thejfrd2490 my DAD was fire chief in Tarbela Dam most sensitive area...i saw many fires of switch yard also...many jungle fires many workshop fires.....i saw him supervise such fires for 20 years your guys were lazy and were not throwing water on right places where fire could have died quicker....but any how i did enjoyed the vdo as this fire brigade thing kinda runs in my blood...and you guys have so much equipment our guys never had any mask they only had helmets n boots to work with.....
@@Homeopathic.Treatment they are far from lazy....we disagree with you completely...but do appreciate you watching.
What made the smoke so black? Reactions to chemicals?
petroleum based products produce black smoke
Looked like they were having water problems
watch again...I don't think so
last place you probably want to get an engine or tans from if that is how they store them! they need to be made to clean up that pathway!
Thanks for your input
Sure is nice when the engine(s) have a built in tank with a few gallons of foam.....
what a mess
glad everyone is safe!
sure is...
Put close caption
we will look into it
What started the fire?
They were working/prepping a vehicle.
I wonder if they know that you have to spray water on a fire to put it out
Italian Fire fighters enter in the chat 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
the fire was put out very quickly...did you not see that part of the video? Or do you just like hearing yourself make dumb comments?
@kenblock5033 where?
@@thejfrd2490 stupid comments? Before making a damn judgment I invite you to look at how Italian and European firefighters, including Russians, operate. they operate in even more dangerous and narrow contexts than in the USA, with much smaller teams. This is because the tactics are better as is the equipment.
only the helmet you use in America would be rejected because it doesn't have an anti-flash visor, not to mention that to wear the gas mask you have to take off the helmet. simply unacceptable due to the danger it poses in risk areas. I believe that the stupid comments are very different, given that many American comments are criticizing the work of the Fire fighters in America on CZcams for the techniques that are still from the 1800s.
@@kenblock5033 lucky we all are entitled our opinions...thanks for your input.
So sad , a place you work at goes up in flames it's going to cost them money to rebuild the place back or thay just might take it all down who knows what going to happen my heart breaks for them😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
at least there are still some caring people left in this world...thank you
Who thought it was a good idea to build a structure over items, with flammable liquids in them, made out of wooden beams? OSHA would love to have a chat with that business.
go talk to them...you think that possibly, they brought the stuff under the structure to escape the hot sun?
No tire disposal fee if they burn.
That is not our lane.....
How did the tractor keep running when whole rearend on fire ?
i don't think it was as involved as you may think
Is there the engine junkyard on West Beaver Street have been there before thank God nobody got hurt
we are glad as well
I was nervous when I saw the wheels of the loader burning , worry sum after the Firefighter in Phenix was killed by the wheel exploding just as they started to put water on the wheel . Lots of volatile stuff in that yard
yes there was.
Wonder how many fines they will get out of this one
Not really something we worry about.
What does Rehab 5 mean?
It is a unit used to get our crews back to a working condition. Cooling, rest, hydration, check of vitals...
They may want to check their boots after climbing over and through all of that metal .
For what?
guy in the red shirt i thought he was going to fall down
But didn't
what caused the 🔥???????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
they were working on a car
Can you put out more of these types of videos (with added radio communications) instead of just raw footage?
the radio transmissions are put in when available...they are not always available.

It certainly was a stubborn fire to put out,great work 🙃🦘🙃🦘🙃
Very!
JFRD. needs to invest in some Icybreeze coolers for these firefighters they doo a great job of cooling you down in this heat. check them out. i have one and it dose a better job than a fan.
greeat job JFRD!!!
We will look into it...thanks

Dumb tactics ,challenge me anyone
Instead of saying "challenge me, anyone" why don't you say how. They got the wet stuff on the red stuff in a yard full of obstacles out in a rural area and hit it with 2.5" lines in order to extinguish the blaze as fast as physically possible.
How so?
@theroachden6195 he is looking for attention...my guess is he isn't even a firefighter.

no idea what you mean
Everyone is wearing a respirator, but no one seems to be using it. In Germany, you put on the breathing apparatus and connect it while driving. You also need to equip yourself on the journey. So valuable time is lost. That's why German firefighters are better than American ones. Standing in toxic smoke. Unbelievable. Chaotic. Unprofessional
There you go...Germany is better...go live there!
@@thejfrd2490 i live there 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
If this is a business which it looks to be I see more OSHA violations than this place could ever afford to pay.. This place is one of those places city or county officials are paid off to look the other way…..
That does not fall under our department.
What a dump that place is. Doen't FL have fire inspections? Look at that wiring just jerry rigged from one shed to another. No wonder that place is burning.
it is a salvage yard...fancy name for a "Dump"
What a mess, hazard to community should duspend business until cleanup. I am glad I dont live around there

Secondly...this fire was put out in fairly short order
I would argue that we were aggressive with this
