  • Monmouth County - Neptune Township - 1202 11th Ave - Two Alarms
    Around 12:20 PM Neptune got a call for a reported house fire, caller said smoke and flames were coming from the house. First arriving officer confirmed the heavy smoke & fire and quickly requested the BOX Alarm assignment. 34-74 career staffed engine was first due and stretched a 1.3/4 line into the home attacking the fire. The first due truck Tower 83-89 was going to the roof to vent and open up. Crews reported inside the fire was running the walls of the home from the basement up and fire quickly started to vent the 3rd story and roof. Crews backed off the roof and the second alarm was transmitted. More lines were stretched inside and out to put the fire under control. Second alarm companies arrived on scene and helped with overhaul and opening up some hot spots. Nobody was reported inside the house. According to News 12, three fire fighters sustained injuries and one was transported to JSUMC. The condition of the FF is stable. No other injuries were reported. Crews were on scene for around 2.5 hours.

      Although formal classes are a good starting point, nothing ever takes the place of common sense. Speaking only as an Engine chauffeur, learn your street and hydrant locations, take a course in Emergency Vehicle Operation, learn the laws in your State as they pertain to the rights of emergency vehicles, learn everything you can about pumps, work hard to develop and maintain a positive attitude in everything you do. I was fortunate to have been stationed in two busy companies during my career, most notably the house I retired from............. think I even emptied a couple of the City's reservoirs over the years. Good luck in your endeavors my friend, but most of all, "Stay Safe".

      @Wheel_Horse Před 3 měsíci +1

      Thing about balloon framing... the building codes in Neptune (and most other shore area towns that I'm aware of) require that fire blocking be installed when a home is remodeled, as it appears that one has been. It MAY have just been an exterior facelift though. Yeah, each wall cavity becomes a chimney, basement to attic.

    • @wilsjane
      @wilsjane Před 3 měsíci +1

      @@Wheel_Horse Here in the UK, building regulations have not allowed hollow walls to run between floor levels for more than 150 years. They are not allowed at all in basements and are sealed off at the top floor ceiling level. The separation has a minimum one hour fire rating.
      As a result, with no airflow fire rarely spreads and without air, most electrical fires burn themselves out. Evidence of these small fires is often only discovered when the wiring has to be replaced.

    Just a bunch of comments from people who have never pushed on a fire in a balloon framer attic. These tactics were impressive by any standard. Roof ops under extreme circumstances, aerials kept out by front-fed utilities. Interior attack. You haven’t fought fire until you’ve chased it through kneewalls on the third floor of a hundred year old framer.
    And YES, the roof work makes all the difference when you’re taking that beating on the steps. That dude cutting the roof can ride on my step position any day.

Right when you think you have it cut off and can finally get a knock on it you’ll start seeing it show up in a completely different area . Especially if the fire starts in the basement / lower levels . It’s very easy to lose control. Shit Just the integrity alone on BF construction is terrible without any fire . Those home become so weak over time naturally especially the joints where the floor meets those exterior walls . Screw it , if you start losing it have a couple truck companies start banging a couple piercing nozzles through the exterior walls 🤷🏻‍♂️ Either way my point was these type of fires are one of the most dangerous FF’s deal with without question . Very dangerous even if you are use to dealing with this type of construction . Stay safe everyone

    Smashing it down from the ground with hose lines to take the sting out of it was the obvious choice ….. do we really think that more property will be saved by venting and interior attack ?

    what kind of amateurs are you?? For God's sake. After more than ten minutes of being there, the fire starts to spread?? Well, unbelievable. Thank God I'm European where we have firefighters at a much better level.

      I’m from Boston and in my 50 years of going to dozens of fires in dwellings like this, BFD has them under control in far better time. Boston’s District Fire Chiefs are highly qualified and experienced with such fires and the fire crews as well.
      From what I see, this fire could have been knocked down a lot faster if the chief was on the ball. It’s his responsibility to command and assign companies to accomplish the most in the shortest time. Way too long to get ladders in operation. Lives and property are at stake. That’s the difference between an outstanding department and a mediocre one.
      That’s MHO. Not up for debate.

    I hope all of those who watching this learn something from this. Here was about a 100 year old house. And it was burning 🔥 for almost 15 mins outside of the fact that they put vynal siding on the building which I would never do. This building is strong it was built to the last. These so called new buildings they are building today if they catch on fire they are gone in 5 to 15 mins I worked at an apt complex where there were about 12 apt buildins. Well the first one caught on fire 🔥 it caught a 2nd on on fire and burnt part of a third one. The 1st one was much bigger then the house in the video by twice its size it was gone in 8 mins just goes to show you just exactly what these so called ne buildings are nothing but junk. And it saids nothing for the people who are trapped inside these buildings when they are trapped and can not get out. They charge anywhere from 1000 a to 3000 a month for these pile of junk oh one more thing you have to buy insurance to that way if the apt catches on fire they can put a claim on your insurance. So they can rebuild this junk that you live in. Now to the builders and the people that own and build this junk houses and apt and other cheap crap. What do the call it when you kill someone due to you wanting to save money and cut corners.

    Wow. Maybe do a 360 and a basement check BEFORE you go in? Instead of screaming for a basement check after you’ve committed to upstairs? Maybe properly position the trucks the first time so you don’t have to reposition? How much did this heavy fire and smoke weigh? Good Job HIHFTY. Terrible 🤦🏻‍♂️
