Around 2:30 AM Brick Township Police received a call for a reported structure fire in the Laurelton section of Brick Township. Due to the reports in the call of fire and with PD arriving quickly on scene after dispatch confirming fire through the roof, headquarters and the first due Chief upgraded the assignment Two Alarms. Bringing in the rest of Brick Township company along with Point Pleasant Boro & Point Pleasant Beach to cover Station 23. First due Chief and Command (2300) sized the structure up as a two story wood from structure with well involved D side with fire. First due apparatus was to stretch a 2.5 line to the D side and attack the fire & set up for master stream ops. 2325 stretched a 2.5 and attacked the bulk of the fire and exposure. Multiple other hand lines & master streams were used in efforts with fire suppression. There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is currently unknown to us & is under investigation by the Brick Township Fire Bureau.

    The irony of the cop telling you that you need to move when their police cars are exactly where the truck and engine need to be has me dying😂
  • @davidmorgan6874
    Almost 7 minutes from the first company's arrival until someone got the brilliant idea to conduct a primary search!!!
  • @AdamSmith-uv6kr
    Wow! Training is needed!!! 8 years on the force and I’ll tell you right now if we were that slow to get wet stuff on the hot stuff we’d be in training for weeks. That was a horrible response from the start

    The 2 feet you moved back made you safer. Just a young Cop that has to have control over everything.

    As a captain I will loose it anytime I am needing water like now and the chauffer doesn't know how to get the apparatus pumping! I understand mistake happens but there's no excuse if not a mechanical issue! Great coverage JS Fire Response!
  • @iwasntwatching
    Great vid. Love the pass alarm going off for almost two minutes 😂 chief would have my head for that.
  • @user-qj8kq9ge1i
    Absolutely a horrible fire attack! Very slow to make entry and put water on the fire. A good department would have had a quick knock on this fire and spared the home of alot of damage.

    Glad that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, and wow I couldn't believe how quickly that fire went up the side of the house and into the attic and across the roof. Once they opened up that ladder pipe they started gaining on it. Thank you to all firefighters for participating the citizens of your coverage area.

    Watching these, you never think about what the owners have to deal with in the aftermath. It's got to be devastating. Even if you haven't lost everything, it's still going to change their lives for at least a year just to find a temporary place to live, not to mention whatever was lost and irreplaceable.

    Wow...alittle long on the water there Brick😮😮😮
  • @Greylocks
    You can see the radiant heat starting to affect the next house on the D side. We who watch these videos have no idea about how hot this gets.
  • @chosenone1004
    You were fine . You never put yourself in harms way and never put yourself in any position to obstruct fire department operations. Just a cop on a power trip that didn’t like you not jumping to his unlawful directive. Good job standing your ground you did nothing wrong ! Anyway great video . Stay safe

    Glad that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, there was a lot of fire blowing through the roof. Once they opened up the lader pipe, they knocked it down quick. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
  • @1540 If we are using these videos for training, then to all young and aspiring firefighters that is exactly how not to take a window safely. Gravity + broken glass means dont position yourself directly below it. When time is no longer a factor, take the extra moments to ensure you keep yourself and your crew safe.
  • @usaveteran1813
    I have seen videos where the first engine to arrive pulls straight up in front, engineer jumps out and goes to the pump control. On the other side of the engine, fully geared up firefighters jump out, grab a hose and have water on the fire within 60 seconds. That usually does not happen everywhere, including here. It is critical to get water on the fire immediately.
  • @realradiousa
    Just a note...the man recording is NOT impeding any work of first responders. The cops have NO right to tell him stop recording or to move away. The police need to learn that bystanders can record all day long as long as they are not in danger or impeding. Our news reporters get hassled all the time by cops who think they can remove the press.
  • Fire spreads so much faster than it did 20 years ago! Can you believe it doubles in size every 30 seconds! It never ceases to amaze me, I never trust it, and I always underestimate it when going to attack. Stay safe boys
