- Ocean County - Lakewood - Third Alarm - 419 Joe Parker Rd.
Around 1:20 AM, May 4, 2024, Lakewood Police received a phone call for a reported structure fire at 419 Joe Parker Rd in Lakewood. The caller stated they saw flames and smoke and possibly someone was trapped in the garage. When Police arrived they saw two men cutting into the garage door with a saw and trying to gain entry. They were able to cut a good chunk and removed the door along with a makeshift wall that was put over the garage door. Police and bystanders were able to pull the victim out of the garage and hand him over to EMS who was on scene waiting. The conditions of the person are unknown to us at the time. Seconds later L-5 & E-5 arrived on the scene and started going to work. Engine 5 stretching hand lines to the structure. Along with L-5 getting ready to make entry. Other lines were then stretched off of E-1 when they arrived and got a secondary water source. Firefighters were inside the structure fighting the fire for about 30 minutes. Before knocking down all the flames. The fire finally went to a third alarm for more manpower to the scene since they had an extensive overhaul to perform. Fire companies from Brick Township, Point Pleasant Beach, Point Pleasant Boro, Howell, and Jackson Township. Crews operated on the scene till 6:30 AM. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

UPDATE - The cause of the fire was ruled due to discarded smoking material under a inclosed deck.
Might have been the cause, but ultra slow FD attack could be blamed for losing the house. Never seen a department pull and charge a hose that slowly. Get the lead out of your rear and get to work!
@@asinusadlyram1right because fire and smoke hasn’t done much damage already!
Back seat driver here. That first hand line should have been charged immediately to start knocking down and cooling the fire. The driver can do this in a second and then worry about water supply. Hats off to all the people involved in the rescue. Hopefully the individual that pulled from the garage will pull through. You did a great job with the video. It also seemed to me that some of the people were family near the rescue.
Idk. They were pretty much defensive from the jump. Don’t think it mattered much.
Wow, since being in the FF service for over 25 years, this department needs a lot of training
That fire should of been knocked down in 15 min or less, need lot of training
I don’t see a lot of them, could it be a volunteer FD?
Water, anyone? Anyone??
Have you not noticed that on these Jersey Shore videos water is the absolute last thing to use. Set up, walk around, yell some, walk around some more, toast a few marshmallows,, walk around some more, oh yeah, water...
Kudos to the guy with the Sawzall, that was quick thinking.
I don't understand this! Our fire department arrives and two guys grab a cross lay(150, or 250') and get into position while the engineer starts the pump! 60 seconds onsite and they are spraying water while the fourth guy taps a hydrant! 1,000 gallons onboard gives them 10 minutes to get hydrant inline! Waiting 5 minutes to start applying water doesn't seem effective!
You just described what 5% of USA departments do.
If 1000 gallons gives you 10 minutes, you're doing it wrong. Up your flows.
@@erichoffman3593was here to say the same thing. You should be flowing AT LEAST 150gpm which would give you 6.6 minutes. Your point is valid but your numbers are off
@@JB91710cause 95% of depts are idiot volunteers
Americans just suck at everything.. this all looks like a joke to a european..
Love the guy that keeps yelling at cops. No one has a fire extinguisher. A fire extinguisher on this volume of fire would be like pissing in the ocean trying to make it rise
I think he was saying it sarcastically
@@kevinp7620 based on what ?
@@js4187 the tone of his voice and the perception of what he saw of all the cops milling about.
At 6:52 you can clearly see the wall built behind the garage door. I'm going to take a wild guess that isn't legal. Especially in Lakewood that's not uncommon.
Yeah there was many people living in the house.
I spotted that too..
Regardless if the illegal apartment, the response time to this fire was abysmal. They refuse to pay for adequate coverage in that area.. it frankly makes me sick
It’s illegal for this exact reason, no escape if fire breaks out.
Thanks for posting. Audubon, NJ.
No problem!
There’s more cops out there than firefighters!
And camera men
@@bobbys1984 the all knowing "camera man"
@@dues-cheateryea dude beats them to every fire in the entire jersey shore. He either is Superman, or the firefighters down there are a complete joke
Legend has it that they’re still backing up….
Now that's funny! 😅
prime example of why you move back when the cops tell you to. Cops had to waste time pushing people at the same time pulling the guy out
@@9caplad those ppl being told to back are the ones who cut the door open.
@@9capladBS they are the ones that were with the tools that enabled the cops step in to claim the kudos for rescuing someone!
Why is it taking so long to stretch a hose line? There should be water on the fire by now
Thanks for sharing great job
Ya the fact they were able to cut that door open before FD arrived was amazing!
Glad the neighbors and cops seem concerned about the house thats on fire because the fire department looks like they are being downright inconvenienced to have to be there. Jesus christ guys show a little pep in your step. Make it look like you care there's a house on fire. If you don't care anymore then quit!
Great job by the neighbors improvising a rescue!
Maybe if their salaries and department budget were performance based things would be different
you have obviously never been a firefighter. Willy Nilly only gets you hurt or worse.
@Blitz350 what a dumb comment .. you think these guys don’t care ? They are probably the most overworked and understaffed dept in the state .. this is the 3rd multi alarm fire for them in 36 hours and half those guys were probably recalled and are physically wiped out .. they pulled up to a house with a good bit of fire with 6 guys and did what they could .. most career depts would have 20-30 guys on the first alarm but they have 6.. These guys go nonstop and always move with a purpose, obviously it’s not fast enough for you thought. These guys work hard , don’t be that guy that sits on your couch at home making ridiculous comments telling people to quit ..
@@Mj-bg2ujso you think it's ok to be this bad!!!!! they got rid of all the help and that why they have no help so I don't care about them
@@SteveWilliams-zp1vg they got rid of all the help ??? What does that even mean ? And what exactly did they do that was so bad ? They didn’t start the fire , they pulled up and went to work . Take away the 2 chauffeurs and they have what 4 ? 5 guys ??? These videos are great but they bring out the absolute worst in other firefighters.. everyone becomes an expert and loves to throw around their expertise.. there is always room for improvement with every fire , but some of these comments are just way too much .
Hopefully the citizen who was involved, makes a full recovery.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
What did they protect??? They let the place burn.
fire extinguisher really? How about a deck gun
There's the wannabe deck-gun warrior right on cue 🙄
@@virgilhilts3924of course 😂
I think it's a little bit past the capability of a fire extinguisher.
@@my2cents945 What about a super soaker? A bucket of water? Or does someone have to go pee-pee? 🙂
@@lewistasso8866 LOL, they don't make enough beer for me to pee that much.
Wow, I am so happy that I don't live in Lakewood. There was no urgency with their firefighters.
It's rude of you to say that about first responders risking their lives also to put out a fire. To educate you, Lakewood OR NOT. It takes STRATEGY. Not urgency. Take a few courses on fire science.
@@ravinrodriguez813you have got to be kidding right?
You don't run around with all the shit that's on the ground on a fire call. They also don't want to be rapidly breathing because they can't afford it with their SCBA units. The more you get your heart rate up the faster you breathe, the faster you breathe the less air is in your tank. Unless there is someone's life being threatened you want to be more methodical. Some of those showing up are also volunteer - I know Jackson doesn't have 24/7 paid manning - it's 12 hours paid 12 hours volunteer.
@ravinrodriguez813 Boy, do You have a lot to learn.
@@ritirons2726Nope. Did you see any of they hustling at all?
The ladder never got their stick up to prepare for pipe ops. Poor fire attack. But they sure had plenty of aggressive cops on the scene 😢
They're in turbo adrenaline survival panic mode, so asking for a fire extinguisher is a natural reaction when emergency crews have not arrived yet. Their thinking is tunnelled by what is happening, shock and disbelief.
Especially the cops.
Lakewood is a cluster fuck of a department/city. You have the whole damn police department on scene, only 2 fire apparatus, and only 4 firefighters actually putting water on the fire. One area where they excel, however, is in EMS operations from I seen in the video. It's clear that there needs to be a reevaluation of their overall city operations.
Damn insane footage awesome coverage
Am I only the one hearing the fire extinguisher guy as asking...ironically? There's almost a dozen cops standing there, so probably 6-12 fire extinguishers are available...while the neighbors and their tools got the guy out. No knock on the FD; they weren't there yet.
Nice job as usual. Talk to the LPD chief about getting press credentials. Hopr all are OK!
No shortage of cops on scene
and yet they keep screaming at the guy with the sawzall to BACK UP
Yea Lakewood doesn’t seem to have their priorities straightened out.
All acting like a bag of dicks, while the neighbors cut the door and the cops ask for a fire extinguisher and tell everyone to get back.......wow
Well it wasnt an active school shooter so cops were plentiful barking orders and giving directives .
WHOA DAMN FULLY INVOLVED PLUS HUGE FIREBALL
It seems as though the fire in the rear of the house went a while before water was put on it ? Great job in getting the resident out from what appears to be a living space.
JSFR, I think News 12 used your video on their show this morning.
Horrible water Delay ! Unbelievable
Excellent job by firefighters 🚒
What video were you referring to?
Good save. Thank you Yeshua
How do you get all these pre arrivals? You lighting the fires? Lol. Great footage as always. Nice job
I’ve got spots I sit in and stage on the weekend, this are is very close to it about 1.5 miles away. This is my second pre arrival in this area because of the spot I sit in. Thanks!
@@jerseyshorefireresponse love your footage, but the towns down there still have no excuse for you consistently beating them fires. It’s embarrassing to say the least.
What's the crowd with a hose at the front door doing?
Did you stop filming before it got fully involved ?
Hard to say for sure but it sounds like the cops know what flashover is and they were trying to keep everyone back just in case that happened.
How about they stop barking orders at free citizens?
If a person CHOOSES to put themselves at risk to try and help another...STFU and leave them alone
Or better still, how about joining in to try and help
No body have a fire extinguisher?
WTF do you think a 10 or even a 30lb extinguisher is gonna do to that??
Well... how about a 1 3/4 fire extinguisher?
@@JPINFV a 1 3/4 what? I could do more work with a garden hose.
@@shanestamball1886 1 3/4 fire hose...
It puts water on the fire... fire is extinguished... ergo... fire extinguisher.
@@shanestamball1886 1 3/4 inch hose line from an engine.
At least he had the right work ethic. That's more than I can say for that department.
Looked like garage had drywall wall behind garage door, may have been living quarters for person rescued.
Yes it was
Sad excuse of a fire department!! Could they move any slower??
the victim is out, the house is a total loss what's the point?
@@EWDAVID94 Still plenty of personal belongings could be salvaged -
@@slackjawedyokel1 why should they risk their safety for someone’s junk?
@@EWDAVID94 junk? If you are in the fire service -GTFO , you are a cancer and spreading the pussification of the fire service. I could try and explain how I have recovered things that have little monetary value but mean the world to victims, but you still wouldn't get it
@@EWDAVID94 Junk ? Dude you are a cancer to the fire service
Have they ever thought about pulling another line to the back instead of trying to pull through the structure? Just a thought!
My question was why they didn't hit the door with a deck gun and then run their first attack line in through the hole in the garage that was waiting for them when they arrived. The deck gun would have gotten the door under control and they could have been inside already through the garage. Although, standard disclaimer, I wasn't there so I don't know all the particulars they faced on the scene, but it seemed like having a pre-cut hole in the garage door was an opportunity missed...
The garage and its doors are the last place I would want to make entry especially since a person was pulled from there just a few minutes before. Sounds like walls went up to make a bedroom.
@@billboyd9028that’s not a deck gun fire. Please stop
Usually (emphasize USUALLY) you attack the fire from inside to outside. Otherwise you can push the heat to unburnt parts of the house. The layout of the house, the structure, and building materials, even the yard layout can effect that, so there is no 'one size fits all'. This is also why sometimes it takes a few minutes to decide the best way to attack the fire. The fact that the garage had walls built against the doors meant that the layout of the house may have been altered from original and not standard or to fire standards. Which means caution is warranted.
i hope that the home owner will be okay and that the person involved in saving the the home owner will be All night and I'm sending prayers 🙏 and hugs to all that we're in involved and in saving a Life god bless
Scary, dramatic stuff going on your arrival. Hope that person is OK. Can you please provide an update if possible for all us out of state people if you hear anything? Lakewood firefighters have been busy the last few days.
Will do my best to find out thanks, 3 fires in 36 hours.
I have to echo the comments of everyone else. The time it took to get water on this fire was just appalling.
I guess cops only know to words. “Back up”
I love when someone uses the wrong word in their snarky comment mocking cops for "only knowing TWO words"... TWO is the word you were looking for.
Maybe they should add some fire staffing. Clearly the PD is sucking up the budget. Town should take a hard look at itself and see the situation they’re putting their citizens in. You can still keep some volunteers but you need to get trucks there faster than what they are doing.
They arrested the neighbors for trying to break into the house😂😂😂😂😂
This is that staffed crew I was only one mile away when this came in, this is on the far side of the town, probably took them 6 mins to respond to this fire. I was just there fast.
WHOA HUGE FIREBALL OH FUCK
People opening the garage door and the police more-ons are telling them to back up. I would tell the cops to go direct traffic or go to the donut shop for us. All they do is get in the way and hold a flashlight.
Someone actually yelled for a fire extinguisher?! Good God.
If you watch fire departments, they often have fire extinguishers on hand in case a member becomes a victim of the fire. I imagine that while they were trying to get that guy out, the possibility that he may have been in the fire would make a fire extinguisher a valuable item if he came out on fire.
Where da hell did this company get there training from everything wrong at this fire! No urgency ladder on the left of house wronng angle first hand line still at front door ....
Spoken like a true public school graduate 🤣
Why so many cops. There not wearing protective gear. Should be doing traffic duties
i just dont understand why some companies insist on getting a ladder truck in first.Engine with ground ladders could be used .Tank to pump open discharge 20 sec tops ,what takes so long most have 750 gallons of water use it while connecting to water source, Why is nobody venting windows and get rid of those freakin garage doors,maybe the smoke wont be venting the same door you are trying to get in
Cause life safety is paramount, ladder companies make rescues.
Because the garage doors had walls built against them inside. The garage has illegal rooms built inside them. That is why the rescue through the garage was so difficult.
@@markboelte1415 this has nothing to do with the comment
@@bobbys1984 Yes, I was trying to reply to a different comment. My stupid clunky fingers on my phone...
First things first, there was NO urgency when the FD arrived, they treated this fire as if it was a training exercise. Second point, unless the officer-in- charge told the first crew not to go in but to fight fire from the the front door, there was know reason why (unless there was massive obstruction to the crew), they did not work the line though the house to the back where the bulk of the fire was, they probably would have knocked down the bulk of the fire. Jobs like this, you have to be aggressive to save the property...........................this was once somebody's home.
Respect to the neighbours for having the idea to use a reciprocating saw to to gain entry to the garage and save the occupant.
Okay last time I checked, SCBA units are integrated into the seats and should have been put on already. Everybody move at a snail's pace before we make the hose hard.
Nice job by the police saving that person
No bigger nuisance than a cop at a fire scene. Why chase away the guy with the sawsall then go ripping at the door with your hands?
As a UK firefighter I'm not impressed and yes I do understand the funding, distance and volunteer competency problems facing rural USA.
The one thing that caught my attention was the cops walking around calmly as residents are sawzalling the garage open UNTIL it was opened then they start to yell for them all to back up right as the residents are about to pull the guy out. Seems like the cops just took credit for the residents rescue to me. They sure werent yelling back up when they had the sawzall cutting it open!!! Just my opinion and observation. Smh
Someone was asking if anyone had a fire extinguisher...
Anyone have a fire extinguisher? That kind of tickled me. I was watching the flames trying to imagine what it would do.
Some guy yelling “No one has a fire extinguisher!?” I never realized how clueless some people are!
A neighbor saved the life of that resident. Quick thinking and a sawzall and he had other neighbors helping. That was the high point of this video. They rescued that person in spite of tough resistance. Trucks, engines, hoses, ladders, firefighters. Then eventually a little water.
WHOA 3rd alarm
Conversely The Netherlands (Holland) also rely on volunteer firefighters in rural areas the difference is the first turn pump will have a crew of 6-10 firefighters. Shorter distances, denser populations.
The police officer arrested them for breaking and entering for trying to save the neighbor😂😂😂😂😂 the only one with tools and they are a joke of police department
must be a slow crime day when they dang near have half the dept on a fire call telling the people trying to rescue someone to back up then there is the one cop with the super troopers mustache
Was there nothing else going on in this town that all the cops could be there?
Honestly nah. They love it
You did a good thing by backing up when told the first time
Back up, Back up
Increible tienen todo el equipamiento y todo, tardan 20 o 30 minutos en llegar mas cuando llegan bajan caminando como si no fuese nada, lamentable el lento accionar
That's the USA way.
Maybe you should join the dept and show them how to do their job.
@JB91710 the important thing is that when there is a life of an American Citizen that's in danger, They move fast & that is the 🇺🇲 way
@@lipstikknleathr Been there, done that, clown.
@@lipstikknleathr You didn't really write that, did you?
Nearly 2 mins to charge a line. That's not good, unless you don't have tank water, which would be crazy
We use C02 compressed gas. 4000 pounds of cold
So the bystander cut the door open while the cops are standing there. Then after the hard part is done the cops start fussing at the same bystanders to back up.
Yup, incase there was a "grab" the cops wanted to get all the credit without doing any of the work.
@@joesmith332 my thoughts exactly!
Maybe code enforcement should check the garage?
Respect aux pompiers pour leurs dévouement pour sauver les gens et les biens
The cops were so annoying trying peyote to back up when in fact the civilians were the ones who cut a hole in the garage to get the guy out. Ave first line should've been charged using tank water
For real for me over
Does anyone have a fire extinguisher. Best laugh of the day, lol.
Back up back up....after they've already cut the door and got the guy to safety. Yeah back up,let the pros look like heros!
The guy asking for a fire extinguisher 💀💀💀
Someone needs to explain to the cops they need to stay out of the way. Otherwise put on bunker gear and go inside. Bet they won't. The last thing we need at a fire is a bunch of guys that wouldn't know what to do if you told them. I don't know what the water source was, but it seemed like they were waiting on a cop to give the okay to flow water. Later I see an engine connected to a plug. As to the fire...been there, done that, have the merit badge. Moving a charged line is a pain in the tail. It has been a few years, but I am still good for an exposure line.
The fire dept. response time absolutely disgusts me. How many more people have to die before they provide adequate professional coverage in the Jersey shore area. One Engine and one Ladder in Lakewood is totally in appropriate and the township should be ashamed of themselves for providing inadequate coverage for a town that large.
Helping out is a good and natural thing to do. BUT!
Be sure of your capacities, and NEVER become another victim.
If there are already people helping, dont decide to become a burden.
The officers who were needed to push back the civilians could have been helping, instead of being forced to control bystanders who became a hazard.
Fire fumes CAN kill you. Escaping heat can burn you to death. Piling up will slow down the whole rescue.
fire "FUMES" ???? Guess I missed the cops wearing scott packs
@@slackjawedyokel1 newsflash; english is not spoken or used the same way everywhere. But if nitpicking rocks your boat, enjoy your moment.
@@Greylocks the odd terminology you used was actually the lesser part of your statement being wrong. The cops were pushing away people with tools and skills --
dude hollering for a fire extinguisher thats not going to help none what so ever.
If it were their house burning the FD would move with a little more urgency as we see over and over they really are just there to watch someone’s house burn while they mill around trying to figure out how to get some water going. Looks really bad to see dozens of these guys standing around while the fire continues to burn.

It’s not all, it’s just where they are inadequately staffed or staffed by volunteers..
When they tell you to back up, BACK UP!!! You’re wasting time. (Not you, you’re awesome bro and you’re not emotional) the people in the video!!! Move!!!
Roof ladder set up below a window? That’s not going to work well if an interior fire fighter needs to bail out
LOL, the guy asking about a fire extinguisher. Clueless.
Hah, good intentions at least
why dont the firemen have all there equipmen on them ready to put out the fire when they exit the firetrucks ???? here they jump out and start with fix there equipment ???? lots of valuable time lost there all the time , but it seems there is no ruch to start putting the fire out
Use a fire extinguisher, that person saying that does not know anything about that kind of fire, a fire extinguisher is not going to work on this kind of fire.
To much fire for an extinguisher buddy
Man, so glad cops are hours away from where I live. Absolute jerkoffs toward citizen's.
They're doing their job. Scene security is on them - in addition if you have people crowding in it makes it hard to work on a victim.

This is puzzling to me. Fire was burning intensely in two seemingly distinct and unrelated locations...the outside of the front door and at the rear of the house. Do we know anything about the cause? Could this have been arson?? Also, was there not a back or side door to the garage that might have been easier to open than breaking into that roll-up front door??? As for someone asking for a fire extinguisher, isn't that a bit like someone below deck on RMS Titanic asking for a bucket after it hit that iceberg?
I read it was discarded smoking material gone wrong
Hey Jersey Shore all those cops and nobody hassled you to move.
lol they aren’t always rude.
I wonder why the guy inside the garage didn’t just open it from the inside. There’s always something that I don’t get.
Ya so it’s kinda hard to tell but that garage was constructed with walls against the doors so they were permanently down, there for the need to cut him out, assuming if there was a window that was covered also, his only other way out was through the fire so they cut him out after breaking open the door.
An extra room to rent i assume this owner will be in big trouble if thats the case not following code
Charlie division!? Buhler? Buhler?
Surprised the firefighters in door didn't have a flashover from not venting house. this is worse than the video where fireman ran out of water. Talking about fireman not video
No One has a fire extinquisher? haha. WTF is that going to do? lol
Why no ariel ladders were used ? The person who pulled up on the lawn is wise making room for fire or ambulance to get close to the structure.
