Great video and outstanding looking department with sharp looking apparatus and staff units and chiefs , also love the Special opps and rehab bus that responds to all major incidents, just a good looking and sharp looking department… Always great to see your videos from Jax..

I’m not sure why chief officers continually go into the hot zones with no PPE’s on. You require your troops to wear them and you should be held to the same standard.
I believe it is a safety requirement. if the worst happens He can not assist in rescueing a fellow fireman. nor is He protected from any toxins at the scene. The same goes for the Chauffers and engineers.
I would think that if they do something, they've got a good reason for doing it. As a civilian, I have no clue whether the bosses should wear PPE's or not. I'm thinking, though, that *they* know whether they should wear PPE's, and that's good enough for me.
@@baruchben-david4196Firefighter here, he knows that he absolutely should be wearing PPE. More than likely he’s used to not wearing it, because back in the day during his days as a lineman they were pretty lax about having PPE on during the entire operation. If you weren’t actively in the fire, or if it was out, you weren’t on air back then. Cancer prevention nowadays makes it so even after the fire is out firefighters should still have PPE on to prevent breathing in the off gases. Older guys in the service sometimes still forgo that sentiment due to resistance to change.
I can only imagine the clean up operation afterward. All those pesky little nest in cardboard everywhere... must be a headache. I caught a call at a hoarders house once and It wasn't a fun call. Can't imagine a whole friggin stock house like that! Greag job guys... and for god sake switch those tanks! 😂🛎🛎
Great video again JFRD even with guys in the shot. It is an art 😂 wife’s cousin is JFRD and we’re not local anymore so we do enjoy watching . For these commercial structures, can y’all include whether it’s on the north side, west side, etc…so us displaced Jax folks know where we are?
I'm a x Firefighter and I think that all of these firefighter's, including the higher Up's need to go back to Firefighter School. ASAP ....., Before someone gets hurt or trapped in a Fire.
In this business, if you don’t get ready for the unknown, it’s extremely rare to get a second chance no matter what position you hold on the fireground. When and if you become a boss that thought process is not good for subordinates. It just opens the door to whatever you want, you do. The job of chief officer is to get your people back home safe. You have to set a good example for future chief officers or bosses.
I would be worried everytime I'd face a warehouse fire. You never really know what could be stored in there. Some stuff will be inventoried, but other things may be 'forgotten' in a corner. If it's storage for a hardware store, the amount of chemicals and explosive substances in there would be insane.
very stubborn fire! looks like alot of hard to access areas need like a skidsteer with grapple bucket to make access and get alot of the stuff out of the way!
Very keystone. I'm surprised no one was hurt. From members on the fireground with no PPE, to the Tender operator pulling up like a bat out of hell. I don't doubt they're a great department, but I saw too many errors.
The Good: IC has good SA and planning for additional line, water and areal apparatus. The Bad: Water supply appears to be an issue. Don't know the reason. The Ugly: Why is Chief Griggs not wearing full PPE when operating in the structure? Forgot to wear his gloves. @10:42
water supply was pretty far away. as for the chief, he was not deep in the fire, it was not super hot...he is very experienced and knows what he is doing.
@@thejfrd2490 Just saying that you lead what you teach by doing what you teach. I have close to 40 years in the service as a volly for 6 years, US Navy for 23 years, and again as volly for the last 9. I've held the rank of Captain and Safety Chief. If one of mine (Probie or Chief) walked in to that structure bunkered up with SCBA on and flowing but the gloves off, we would have had a conversation, in private, back at the station. The reason being the FF1 that is fresh off the orange shield is watching that Chief and thinking "Well he he does not need gloves, neither do I." But the difference is that FF1 does not have the same experience as the Chief and has now become a liability.
@@straytrons3450 so then you should know that its easy to sit back after the fact and armchair quarterback...you weren't there and don't know the whole story A seasoned veteran knows this.
Dennis Smith one time in his book Report From Engine Co 82 said some chiefs yell and scream and some chiefs are quiet. This chief may yell and scream and micromanage the hell out of his scene but if you look his guys are busting their asses for him. That shows respect that he has earned. Great job Chief and great job to the crews on the scene.
What I am seeing from the camera shots through the doors this looks like a furnishings warehouse. Heavy interior fuel load and lots of very toxic smoke. Difficult fire to fight. It's pretty much defensive fire attack transitioning to interior attack when knocked down.
@davidlenzi3551 your name is familiar.. east coast here..navy, pa.army national guard infantry. Philadelphia naval base fd and 1 heavy rescue volleyball company.. when I was stupid and naive. I tore my body up lolol 4 knee 5 spinal surgeries. Wasn't for my wife day b4 we got married 27 years ago Roddy. I be worse of.. ultimatum fire house or me She listened to several working fires on radio.. Engine 1 go basement or assist truck 23 or 65 open the roof
I can never understand why crews are placed on a roof without safety line from extended tower - stops them falling through the weak spots. Good video and great work by JFRD.
@@harvynussbaum5182 A recent video from Germany showed that technique. In UK construction workers have to wear harnesses on such a roof. I think I have seen London Fire Brigade tethered to their tower. I have seen other viedeos where tethered to the tower would improve safety and allow greater confidence in movement.
The basic answer is 'entanglement and lack of suitable tie-offs' Unlike a construction where a tie-off to the building structure is common and limits fall distances and swing angles in the event of a fall, a fire ground is highly dynamic with only certain areal apparatus offering potential for tie-off and the operational distances from those tie-offs being very limited. OSHA tie-off and fall protection is strictly regulated by 29 CFR Part 19210 and part 1926 for construction, but are not always required for fire ground operations due to the emergency nature of the event. You do not want to tie-off to the burning structure as the building is already compromised by fire. Any structurally installed tie-offs would be questionable at best, and create a greater hazard in the event of a structural collapse. Operating several firefighters off an areal apparatus tie-off would require them to closely coordinate movement to prevent entanglement of safety lines in a situation that already has then near task and situational awareness saturation. Other firefighters reaching the roof from other means, like ground ladders, and internal stairways would likely not be operating near a areal apparatus. In addition, internal operations and roof operations use a 'sounding' method to roughly determine the structural stability of floor and roof components prior to placing weight on them. The floor or roof is 'sounded' or struck with the irons to feel and listen to the building and locate weak or soft spots. While not perfect, it gives the FF a basis on the safety of that portion of the roof or floor. The IC and other officers are responsible, along with the FF's operating there, in determining when the structure has reached a point of instability that requires removal from roof or other internal areas prior to structural collapse. I am a volunteer firefighter with nearly 40 years of structure, aircraft, and shipboard firefighting experience in the US Navy and several VFD's. I am not associated with the JFRD.

This was not a storage facility...it was a warehouse. But storage facilities can definitely fire hazards...we don't know what is in them...and often they are not sprinklered.
@jimwinsor8938 you question that we are the most overweight department you have ever seen...we are 1800+ members strong, you are going to make such a judgment on a 30 min video that doesn't show but a small fraction of our force??? I would think you may have better things to do with your time...did they do their jobs?
working a 2 1/2 line or 1 3/4 for me is no good ,in my departement we use 1 1/2 125 gpm at 100 psi and only 1 guy old it if you put x2 well 250 gpm and 2 guys now if you look at this first attack 54 guys olding the hose and its hard to control ,each departement have ther hown way of doing things.....
That was a really mismanaged warehouse. How did they know where items were. It looked like everything was just thrown in with no organization. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
I would like to know why was the FIRE OR THE ASST.FIRE CHIEF UP SO CLOSE PAST THE ENGINES AND STANDING AT THE DOOR WITH NO TURN OUT GEAR ON AND NO SCBA ON IN OPERATION. HE OR SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN A CAR OR PICKUP TRUCK. LET YOUR OFFICERS GIVE COMMAND THE UPDATES. HE OR SHE NEEDS TO BE GETTING OR MEETING THE NEEDS OF PERSONAL. THAT WHAT I MENTIONED ABOUT THE TURN OUT GEAR WITH SCBA NEEDS TO BE STANDARD PRACTICE.
He is very aware of where he should and shouldn't be. He is highly respected and this is a non issue for us...you do what you need to do in your department...what department do you work for? And what rank have you achieved? How many years on the job? And we will do what we do!
@thejfrd2490 You have to have common sense Dude. That's all it is common sense. IF his firefighters are Dressed up for the occasion then he should be also wouldn't you think? Again common sense.
@@EdgarCPrice Appreciate that...I HAVE plenty of common sense...did you ever think that just maybe someone could work differently than you? We do what we do and it works. We are a very accomplished fire department... I will ask again, what department do you work for? What rank have you achieved? How many years have you served? Answer each of those questions before you can challenge a fire department our size. Waiting!
@thejfrd2490 Well I am retired from THE GOLDSBORO FIRE DEPARTMENT. GOLDSBORO NC. WE USED TO HAVE ASST. CHIEF. THAT WOULD DO THE SAME THING. NOTHING HAPPENED TO HIM BUT THE POTENTIAL WAS THERE. AFTER HIS RETIREMENT THINGS DID CHANGE. IT WAS REQUIRED FOR THE CHIEF AND ASST. CHIEFS TO STAY IN THE CAR AND OR SUVS. INCIDENT COMMAND TAUGHT THAT IN CLASS. THE FIRE SCENE WAS RUNNED MUCH SMOOTHER THAT WAY. PLUS IT WAS MUCH SAFER THAT WAY. PLUS IT SET BETTER EXAMPLES. I'M NOT HERE TO ARGUE BUT TO SUGGEST BETTER INPUT. YOU CAN RUN YOUR DEPARTMENT THE WAY YOU WANT TO. THAT'S ALL AND THANK YOU.
Retired 17 years in E. St. LouisFD. Nothing like walking out of a burning structure while wearing zero gloves, but it really doesn't matter. Watching imbisils advancing hose lines past active fire and nobody saying anything? Like WTF, only a matter of time before someone gets burned up down there. And I'm assuming it was a chief who ordered the ladder pipe in the doorway,? I'm sure he has the shits of watching yall fumble the ball. I only seen 2 FF in this video who had even a once of common sense. 1 guy had to resort to a PW, fuk should have gave him the nozzle. The only guy who actually put water on a fire effectively. How many times do we see water flow operations shut down with fire growing in the background??? To many to mention, get pulled out of the building? FINE. once outside that doesn't mean stop flowing water. AMATEUR HOUR!
@@andyhamilton8940 🤣🤣🤣 10 yrs was enough of the most overworked under payed dept in this entire country. Not that it's any of ur business, but I recieved a inheritance enough to say fuck working and start living.
This command was old school, stand around. Yell at the guy's point with no Turn out gear on. Definitely had no accountability he can't remember all the resources he had there. The guys did a good job but command I don't know.
This was way too cowboy 🤠 for me. Way too many ff’s and the two white shirts, BC’s or deputies had zero PPC or no SCBA within the bad air area. Watching the “videographer “ getting in the warm and hot zone to get shots had me going 🙉 💩. These are things a professional company just doesn’t do. As I rewatched the beginning, it was even more cringe worthy the lack of PPE. So many without air were just non chalant as you like…
Dying from fire or water are 2 things that scare me the most. People willing to face both deserve my utmost admiration (and they definitely have it)

I would like to know why was the FIRE OR THE ASST.FIRE CHIEF UP SO CLOSE PAST THE ENGINES AND STANDING AT THE DOOR WITH NO TURN OUT GEAR ON AND NO SCBA ON IN OPERATION. HE OR SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN A CAR OR PICKUP TRUCK. LET YOUR OFFICERS GIVE COMMAND THE UPDATES. HE OR SHE NEEDS TO BE GETTING OR MEETING THE NEEDS OF PERSONAL. THAT WHAT I MENTIONED ABOUT THE TURN OUT GEAR WITH SCBA NEEDS TO BE STANDARD PRACTICE.
He is very aware of where he should and shouldn't be. He is highly respected and this is a non issue for us...you do what you need to do in your department...what department do you work for? And what rank have you achieved? How many years on the job?
And we will do what we do!
@thejfrd2490 You have to have common sense Dude. That's all it is common sense. IF his firefighters are Dressed up for the occasion then he should be also wouldn't you think? Again common sense.
@@EdgarCPrice Appreciate that...I HAVE plenty of common sense...did you ever think that just maybe someone could work differently than you? We do what we do and it works. We are a very accomplished fire department...
I will ask again, what department do you work for? What rank have you achieved? How many years have you served?
Answer each of those questions before you can challenge a fire department our size.
Waiting!
@thejfrd2490 Well I am retired from THE GOLDSBORO FIRE DEPARTMENT. GOLDSBORO NC. WE USED TO HAVE ASST. CHIEF. THAT WOULD DO THE SAME THING. NOTHING HAPPENED TO HIM BUT THE POTENTIAL WAS THERE. AFTER HIS RETIREMENT THINGS DID CHANGE. IT WAS REQUIRED FOR THE CHIEF AND ASST. CHIEFS TO STAY IN THE CAR AND OR SUVS. INCIDENT COMMAND TAUGHT THAT IN CLASS. THE FIRE SCENE WAS RUNNED MUCH SMOOTHER THAT WAY. PLUS IT WAS MUCH SAFER THAT WAY. PLUS IT SET BETTER EXAMPLES. I'M NOT HERE TO ARGUE BUT TO SUGGEST BETTER INPUT. YOU CAN RUN YOUR DEPARTMENT THE WAY YOU WANT TO. THAT'S ALL AND THANK YOU.
Great video. How many times are they gonna keep putting the same fires out wasting water just FOAM it . We would of used foam by now for sure .
thanks for your input
Baking soda would really help.
we will run to the store and get some!
If the jets were aimed at the roof the water would have acted like rain in a brush fire, you the dont have men trying to get through blocked pathways
thanks for your input
I really hope this isn't a paid dept, looks like amateur hour at the apollo
Paid
Please...where do you work?
Retired 17 years in E. St. LouisFD.
Nothing like walking out of a burning structure while wearing zero gloves, but it really doesn't matter. Watching imbisils advancing hose lines past active fire and nobody saying anything? Like WTF, only a matter of time before someone gets burned up down there. And I'm assuming it was a chief who ordered the ladder pipe in the doorway,? I'm sure he has the shits of watching yall fumble the ball. I only seen 2 FF in this video who had even a once of common sense. 1 guy had to resort to a PW, fuk should have gave him the nozzle. The only guy who actually put water on a fire effectively.
How many times do we see water flow operations shut down with fire growing in the background??? To many to mention, get pulled out of the building? FINE. once outside that doesn't mean stop flowing water.
AMATEUR HOUR!
@@shanestamball1886why did you retire after only 17 years? OJI? Or they ran you out?
@@andyhamilton8940 🤣🤣🤣 10 yrs was enough of the most overworked under payed dept in this entire country.
Not that it's any of ur business, but I recieved a inheritance enough to say fuck working and start living.
Finely some one used there Brain but it took forever for someone to get it right.....
Speaking of using your brain....Check your spelling
Thanks for watching!
I would have been a great firefighter. I would literally put every fire out like nothing.
you are truly amazing! How would you have done it?????????
🧑🚒👍
ty
out comes the K12;s
ok
Nice video, not a good job a fire fighting at all
thanks for your input
This command was old school, stand around. Yell at the guy's point with no Turn out gear on. Definitely had no accountability he can't remember all the resources he had there. The guys did a good job but command I don't know.
thanks for your input
They vent roof.. truck company
thanks for your input
I would have foam the hell out of it for a few then switch back to all water.
you weren't there in charge...thanks for your input
Great Job, retired FGFD, MICHIGAN😂
Thanks for your input
This was way too cowboy 🤠 for me. Way too many ff’s and the two white shirts, BC’s or deputies had zero PPC or no SCBA within the bad air area. Watching the “videographer “ getting in the warm and hot zone to get shots had me going 🙉 💩. These are things a professional company just doesn’t do. As I rewatched the beginning, it was even more cringe worthy the lack of PPE. So many without air were just non chalant as you like…
i was thinking that bc if he just left them alone they could do there jobs i bet brian was like shut the f up let me work he kept calling him
thanks for your input
In the white shirts....they lnow what there doing......stay out of way
Leadership
This is too Hollywood.
this is reality.
Why run around inside a fire building with your GLOVES hanging off your protective clothing?
Makes them look very unprofessional.
Thanks for your comment
It's a true saying the man ìn the suit makes the most money the two lads in there gleaming white shirts giving orders 😅
Someone has to be in charge...that is how we work...sorry you don't like it, but it works
Almost over vent roflmao metal blade saw ?
