- OC - Brick - Brush Fire - Burnt Tavern Rd & Route 70.
Shorty around 4:15 PM Brick Police got a call for a brush fire around 500 Burnt Tavern Rd with a cross of Route 70. Officers arrived on scene with a working fire on the side of the road spreading back into the tree line. Homes were about 50-100ft away the fire was burning slowly. NJFFS was dispatched and B-34 was in the area arrived shortly after and had water on the fire 20X10 FT. 2479 was second due and stretched there booster line and attacked the fire also. The fire was quickly out short after, crews mopped up for about 30 more minutes and cleared. The cause of the fire is unknown. No further information at the time.
Great little video of a rapid response, preventing the spread of a brush fire. Thank you for all of the clips you provide for our entertainment.
Well done to the quick response and knockdown. We were evacuated two years ago from what. started as a small fire that spread out of control. Thank you to the brave firefighters every where. #PineStrawberryStrong.
Yea, that fire was CRAZY!!
Love the breakers. Your area, northern Michigan, and Cape Code (where I started on the job) are the only places in the US who have them and know how to use them. We used to keep 300' coils of 1" cotton jacket charged in 4 x 4' boxes on top of the tank. It was soooo much lighter and easier to drag around - came off easily because it was charged already and was relatively easy to put back up with just 2 guys. The drop-down steps on the back - those are brilliant!
As a volunteer firefighter and retained/on call firefighter from Australia, I was going nut watching this firefighter walk into the smoke with no respiratory protection, no head protection and only a over coat, but just in general what makes me pissed is when firefighters wear half there gear on the fireground, your PPC is there for a reason. Love the fact you beat the engine and all the appliances
“Fire ground” lol. This is a piss poor brush fire. Relax. You’ll
Never catch us wearing a pack for a brush fire lol
@@cjritchie9701If I wanted to I’d go on air, rather be safe then sorry.
@@John_Montefalco on a brush fire?
@@cjritchie9701 on any fire, I would do it for my own health. Id at the very least have my air pack on me.
They have some nice equipment.
Awesome response times by all involved!
5:34 awesome horn. Love that rig
This video is cool thanks for making it
PPE? We don’t need to stinkin’ PPE. If you’ve got time to get to the hall, you’ve got time to pull your wildland gear on, your family will thank you.
The first truck is on the road most of the day. They dont have a firehouse they respond from.
The first two brush trucks there are NJ State Forest Fire Service units that are out and about. The other two are the first due department. Their big deuce-and-a-half lookin' thing is pretty awesome.
A lot of those companies had surplus military 6x6s in the 70s and 80s.....virtually all "built" in-house. Pt. Boro had one that would go out-of-town mutual aid to fires in the pine barrens with 8 or 9 guys on board. My dad has Super-8 no-sound home movies he took from the back of the rig on some of those fires. Different times.
@@brandonseyfried1251 Most of those "built in-house" trucks were dangerously overloaded and they acted like they were tanks. This one appears to have a proper sized tank and looks to be professionally built. Lot of guys got killed in those old home built trucks.
@@ffjsb yeah, like I said, different times. I wouldn't say ours was overloaded, though. It was a surplus 6x6 flat body they mounted a 500 gallon water tank and skid pump on, with a 4" tubular steel roll cage the guys in the back could stay inside while operating. It did knock down some pine trees. It had a flip-down steel screen to protect the windshield while bombing through the woods.
Great video. We were supposed to have fire weather on Long Island . Cloudy and calm all day.👍
Back in the day the police could have dealt with this with the shovels they carried or anyone else, but people don’t seem to do that anymore.
Anyway’s nice job of stopping the spread.
i love the mad max fire rigs
As an Aussie the fact they only had jeans and the jacket on hurt my brain bc if there’s a fire no matter what it’s full PPE but cool to see the difference
Most aussie brigades would be the same
@@hughman3241seriously no. We gear up properly. I'll get credit on response and jacket.
Have to be volunteers, so still a big thanks and keep safe.
I put out something of the sort with a 2.5 gal water can just a couple weeks ago, though for me there was no wind and it contained itself largely on the center median. With wind and on the shoulder it will spread really quickly and I wouldn't doubt it if it was a cigarette, its been very aggravatingly common here.
Good job👍
Great video
Local police always park where best fire attack would be. DA!
On April 7th at approximately 4:15 PM, the Brick Police department received a call for a brush fire in the vicinity of 500 Burnt Tavern Rd, with a cross of Route 70. The officers quickly arrived on the scene and found a working fire on the side of the road that was spreading back into the tree line. The fire was burning slowly, and homes were located around 50-100ft away from the area of the fire.
In response to the call, the New Jersey Forest Fire Service (NJFFS) was dispatched, and B-34 was already in the area, arrived shortly after the initial response. The responders quickly took action and had water on the fire, which was estimated to be about 20X10 FT in size.
The second responding unit, 2479, arrived on the scene as the situation was being brought under control. They stretched their booster line and began attacking the fire as well. Due to the swift response and efforts of the responders, the fire was quickly contained and extinguished.
Crews remained on the scene to mop up the area for approximately 30 more minutes to ensure there were no remaining embers or hot spots that could reignite the fire. After the final check, the responders cleared the scene.
At this time, the cause of the fire is unknown, and no further information is available. Brush fires are a common occurrence during the spring season, and it is crucial to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions to prevent them from happening. The responders' quick response, coordinated efforts, and expertise helped control the situation and avoid any further damage or injuries.
It is essential to note that brush fires can pose a significant threat to the environment and wildlife, as well as human lives and properties. It is essential to follow safety guidelines and regulations when dealing with fire or using fire outdoors, especially during dry weather conditions.
To prevent brush fires, one should avoid burning outdoors, especially during dry or windy weather conditions. It is also crucial to follow all local regulations and guidelines regarding outdoor burning, including obtaining proper permits and clearance from the authorities.
Additionally, one should ensure that any flammable materials such as leaves, debris, or firewood are stored away from structures and not near flammable materials like gas tanks or propane tanks. It is also essential to maintain a clear area around homes and structures to prevent brush fires from spreading.
In the event of a brush fire, it is crucial to call the authorities immediately and evacuate the area if instructed to do so. It is also essential to follow all instructions from the authorities and avoid attempting to fight the fire alone.
In conclusion, brush fires can be dangerous and destructive if not managed promptly and efficiently. It is vital to take all necessary precautions to prevent brush fires from happening and to respond quickly and effectively in case of an emergency. The efforts of the responders in the Burnt Tavern Rd incident serve as a reminder of the importance of fire safety and the vital role that first responders play in protecting our communities.
Quick response Quick knock down that wind would have done a lot of damage good job
Liked and shared
Good Job Brothers, With That Wind Things Could Have Lit Up! Better To Have Apparatus, And Not Need It!,🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒
2479 is a sweet truck.
As a former firefighter in New York myself as I’ve seen in some of the comments below the utter lack of safety I saw in this video is a direct result of poor training. I see that it is a small fire but don’t let that fool you , it’s always dangerous.blue jeans and no gloves or air pack is 100% a NO NO. !! This is why firefighters get hurt or even die.
You don’t use air pack for brush or forest fires…
@@jerseyshorefireresponse but gloves, helmet, and eye protection is a must, and today you can wear some light firemask with p3 mask inside
Always gotta see how far we can go before the cops say please move 😂😂.
Great video. As usual! You do really great work bro.
It's been 6 years since I moved from there but I knew immediately that was North of Rt. 70. It looks like the jughandle across from the post office.
Gentle suggestion. A can in your trunk is $125 and you can do miracles with it while waiting for your rigs.
My next purchase will be a water can I only have a dry chem right now and didn’t wanna discharge it in the woods like that.
Maybe because I'm in a smaller town but do you ever feel awkward getting close and filming these things. I went and took pictures on a brush fire we had a week ago and although I was just taking pictures from a far I felt a bit awkward like they might question me.
Showing up in full structure turnouts for a brush fire is a no no, here in california cal fire all we use is dual complian nomex pants and brush jacket with some missoulas
How come departments on the east coast deck out their brush rigs with all those roll bars, and big brush guards? Looks like Mad Max style vehicles. You rarely see that with brush rigs on the west coast. 🤔
Are those rigs home made military surplus or does a actual company make them?
Depending on the rig some are old surplus then made into brush trucks for the specific department . The forestry trucks are all built by a manufacturer on either a dodge pickup chassis or a Ford. Some departments buy old surplus and manufactur their own rig themselves i have seen also
@@klwnsniper ty
Our Pensaukee volunteer fire department Oconto county Wi purchased a 1973 surplus Duce and a half and added a 500 gallon water tank with a 400 foot 1” hose reel with a Honda electric start pump and compartment with room for 8 wild land fire backpack sprayers and shovels rakes rubber flaps and pickaxes.
There is some military surplus but most of the NJ state forest fire trucks are built in the NJFFS shops. That state buys brand new chassis and the shops do the rest of the work.
Which State Forrest? Forrest Gump?
New Jersey Forest Fire Service
LOL!
Clear evidence it was caused by a lit cigarette tossed from an automobile window. This is why they make ash trays for the automobile. They come in very handy even during windy days or during fire bans, which include smokers.
New cars don't have cigarette ash trays, or a cigarette lighter.
What evidence was found that made it clear to you?
@Brad Magnuson you can buy ash trays at any location that sells cigarettes or ash trays that fit over soda cans. And there are still older cars out there that still has the working cigarette lighters and ash trays in them. My 2001 Chevy Blazer still has them but I always had a traveler ash tray kept in it as well. Anyone who smokes knows this.
@@mikehoysler4322 if you pay attention to what is being said at the end of the video, it was indeed a cigarette that caused the fire.
@@fandoria09Suggest you go back and listen to the video at the end. The videographer says “maybe a cigarette”. It wasn’t the forestry guys or anyone associated with the fire dept that say it on the video. Again, where’s your clear evidence? In all likelihood it wasn’t lightning or an exothermic reaction and possibly a cigarette. There’s a big difference between possible & definite.
Love truck 2479
This brush fire did look very big
All of them I want to see all the trucks
At least the grass on the other side of the road didn’t catch
They whip in there with that first truck 😂😂😂
Lol I came right to the comments for the same . My man was moving
@@NJDRONEMAN on my road I live i a busy road and cops and fire and rescue fly by here
Typical of NJFS. Driving way too fast.
They do that all the time.
Are you a actual firefighter if are can you show all the fire trucks in obsessed
Obsessed? I’m confused, thanks.
Is it doubtful??
A couple shots of an extinguisher would stop the spread
I enjoy these videos and I understand the multi apparatus response but seriously, the size of the fire where the video started; I think I could of have stomped that fire out with sneakers on, let alone with the shoes the cops wear.
Gosh, if only you were there to save the world!
@Bob Barr yea and you are the same guy complaining about how high your taxes are. Ridiculous response. All about inflating the shout count.
@@rdbimages I know, RIGHT???😁😁
@@redrubi3942 You CLEARLY have NO idea of what you're talking about. This was an absolutely reasonable response.
@@redrubi3942 LOL! Hey, Comanche Dawn (whatever that means), when did you ever hear me complain about taxes? Oh, that's right, you didn't. You just make things up to get attention. Well done.
Brush 34.
Cigarette thrown out the window of a car??!!
1st one arrives 1 person dressed in civvies, does put a jacket on and goes in by himself, are civvies classed as PPE? (Personal Protective Equipement) then a second person turns up again civvies and puts on a jacket. then 2nd unit turns up again in civvies, i never knew jeans were fire proof. then real firefighters turn up fully dressed Well Done them. Yes it was only a small fire, but it doesn't stop you getting burnt.
I hope they got repremanded and given more intensive training on how to dress and not attend alone.
And it took three cops to confirm a brush fire. They couldn’t help themselves, they had to act important and have you move. Pathetic
He was on the edge of the road when Speedy Gonzalez came in on his red cape(driving to fast at the scene). They had a right to ask him to move to the other side for his safety. I will be glad when the pendulum swings the other way and the cop haters stop buying in to all the media hoopla.
Don you have no idea how many looky-Lou’s show up at fire scenes that just get in the way, the ridiculous speed the first rig came in at is exactly why he was told to move.
cops could have put that out with fire extinguishers in cars. Just stand there with there head in there butt.
Talk about overreacting. In my day I would have handled it myself with a broom rake. Might have been better off to burn out the small area so there would be no need for an additional response.
Why smoking should be banned nationwide. DID you know? Aerial fireworks were banned in most states for two reasons. 2nd reason is the chemicals were deemed unhealthy for the environment (which is strange being those chemicals are allowed in most food and tobacco products). The #1 reason is starting fires. But here is a fact-Lit tobacco products are responsible for fires that burn over 6 million acres annually, whereas fire works are responsible for less than half that. Any way that road is not really traveled on a lot so most likely some one being stupid,
While I’m not a smoker, in 2021 tobacco was responsible for $12.14B in tax revenue so if that cash evaporates unfortunately it’s gotta be made up somewhere else. I agree smoking is unhealthy and a leading cause of cancer but I also know we have free will & the Gov’t already has their fingers in too much of our lives. According to the American Pyrotechnic Assoc only ONE State has banned all consumer fireworks: Massachusetts (interesting as it was the birthplace of the American revolution). Three States only allow sparklers: Illinois, Ohio, & Vermont. The other 46 States & DC don’t ban aerial fireworks at all. I don’t know that a lit cig caused this & neither do you, unless it was yours. If you want to direct your concern, how about the guy in the brush truck who came ballin in and then layed out into a smoky environment with zero PPE & no SCBA? Bet he wears a mask tho to go grocery shopping.
Statistics showed that most of these fires are started by arsonists or Antifa.
Fireworks are legal LOTS of places. Most of the stuff in fireworks is NOT in foods either.
just let it burn itself out, ground is very wet still
My word - 3 State Forest Fire Brush trucks for a brush fire 10 feet off the road that the Police could have put out with a fire extinguisher. No wonder my NJ taxes are so high!
Rather have them and not need them then too need them and not have them
@Joe Mosc you said it there Joe. If his house was 40 ft behind that fire he would be calling for air drops.
Yup, Forrest fires are so unpredictable
What an ignorant comment.
Another Arm Chair Expert! Instead Of Crying and Complaining, Help Out!🔥🔥🔥🔥
After 35 years as a VFF, I got little to say. The fire was put out but turnout gear and SCBAs were sadly lacking.
Don’t wear air at brush fires, I’ve never seen anyone anywhere ever do that.
Wow great commentary.!!!🙄🙄🙄🙄
So you stand on the EDGE of the road filming and Ego Cop tells you to move. Then the Cops stand right smack in the MIDDLE of the road. Geniuses.
