Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department responds to vacant commercial building fire, turns to 3rd alarm

- JFRD unit rolls up to a large vacant commercial building with smoke rolling out of it...a structure fire was called, with a second alarm dispatched immediately...this then turned into a third alarm as crews searched for and located the fire, searched the entire building for potential victims, advanced hose lines and extinguished the fire.
This building has sat vacant for a number of years...it is a commonplace for the homeless and vagrants to seek shelter. A fair amount of old furniture and trash had accumulated within the building and subsequently ignited causing the fire.
Fortunately there were no injuries reported at this fire.
Sit back and watch this RAW footage from the scene as it unfolded.

And thanks for watching...
Good job, guys. Last I heard in June, they're thinking of turning these buildings into apartments.
Glad that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, when I was a volunteer firefighter, we went to a fire in a vacancy commercial building and it had been starting the same way as you mentioned.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
They can be so dangerous because you don't know what is in them, you don't know how structurally sound they are, and many safeties are disconnected or off.
@@thejfrd2490 so true, they would have had no idea or way of knowing what was inside the building.
Awesome video. So happy no injuries. Its sad to see buildings left vacant for years just to have firefighters risk their lives to put fires out due to being left empty like that. Great job by all the responders...🤗🤗
they did do great
Good job! Looked like everyone got some good experience for the next one. Glad it was daytime.
could have been tough at night
Outstanding video and coverage and nice looking apparatus too , Jacksonville has a very well put together department… Tony j. from Indiana… 🙌🏼👍👏🏼🚨🚒
Thanks Tony j from Indiana
Safety Point, FF on turntable should be dressed for duty. If Ventman going in window got into trouble the closest help is not ready. Always expect the worst. Great shot of dangers of venting windows and safety-man watching out for the brothers. Hopefully, though I did not see any, search ropes are a must in large floor area buildings. BIG BAD, guys under windows changing bottles and taking a break. "Sidewalk area" is always a danger zone and off-limits unless you are operating. Just imagine someone taking a window on the upper floors, and the heavy glass hitting the guys below who have their helmuts off. Then a brother takes his gear off before he is away from bldg. Not cool
Good points...thanks for your input and thanks for watching.
That firefighter on the turntable probably wouldn't rush to the building if a firefighter needed help. The RIT (or whatever they are called where you are at) would go into action. That firefighter is responsible for the truck and ladder. Just like you see, the engine engineers are not dressed up. Even in an emergency the engine engineers would stay at the engine.
exactly right
As FDNY Officer I used those videos as drills. Over 12 years as a company officer None of my guys was ever seriously injured. The Best Chief Officer I ever knew was DC Vincent Dunn. His Book Collapse of Burning Buildings is outstanding.@@thejfrd2490
@@eriksand9262 goodpoint if the ladder's stick position needs to changed then someone must be available to move it.
A vacant office building burning sounds fishy with how low the demand for space is now
That's true...but there were too many signs leading elsewhere.
Until all structure fires are investigated the possibility of arson is always there Once the fire investigators are finished and have found the cause then the real cause is known there are numerous indications that will give arson away. There are also many more indications of fire being caused by other causes. Example mice chewing through insulation around wires causing electrical arcing. Mouse gets cooked immediately.
thanks for your input.@@davidlenzi3551
The trash did not just ignite. Somebody ignited it.
That is a fair assessment
Wow that’s some serious action. Were squatters the cause of the fire?
Homeless
