Just for the sake of accuracy in reporting, I saw my neighbor Lou from my bathroom window, ran down to my backyard while calling 911, told Lou I was going to get him help, and ran screaming through the neighborhood knocking on doors of residents that I know are year round. I just kept screaming HELP US until Frank & his employee, working on his new construction at the end of Key Largo Court came running asking me what's wrong. I told him the situation & that I has an extension ladder. Frank got the ladder and I grabbed our sledgehammer & axe. My neighbor John and the 2 other guys through up the ladder, smashed out the railing posts, and brought Lou to safety. Joan, his wife, came out through the front door. Lou never actually yelled or screamed. He was kind of moaning in distress. I heard & saw him trapped on that balcony. He must have been in shock. A wonderful group of human beings worked together through everything and saved our beloved neighbor.

@@Caterpillar955 ok so knowing of the water supply issue, right away chief should put a tender task force order in and request mutual aid for man power and an engine. First on scene, engine or 4k gallon tanker/pumper as mine was (either of those two should be first in, nothing else). Tanker lays a line possible two if it's a tanker/pumper for exposure protection immediately. Ofb is a loss right from arrival assessment. Once the chauffeur charges the line/lines thefirst arriving engine lays another line for a back up or to initiate an exterior attack or if equipped fire up the deck cannon, then helps set up the pools and siphon. Then fills the pool and searches for a refill source. Next arrival (water supply) dumps the tank and makes contact either with command about the location of the fill site or directly with the previous tanker. From there on tanker round is in operation. Command should be made aware of how far from the scene the fill site is, about how many gpm of water is moving in fire ground operations (exposure protection and fire suppression, make a decision regarding the possible need for additional engines, the need for aerial operations then make adjustments needed to keep a constant flow of water. However, if there are hydrants, well no explanation needed. Chief in command immediately puts in for a second alarm and either the chief or first arrival makes an initial assessment. If first arrival is the chief, he/she establishes a central command post. First in engine and or truck drop a line or two if capable immediately on to exposures... NOT the ofb exposures first. Chauffeur charges the line or lines for immediate exposure protection, again ofb is a loss exposures first and if capable to operate handlines and a deck cannon fire the cannon up to the ofb...and full fire ground operations are started. Immediately after confirming all ground operations are working properly, the chauffeur immediately goes to the nearest hydrant if it wasn't tapped on the way in which is dependent on manpower and what other apparatus are responding which the first arriving chief should know because of a pre-planned alarm system and again make adjustments needed. Everything else goes the same obviously except for tanker operations. First arriving chief or could be an officer sets up command From here on everyone reports to the IC. If additional chiefs show up, as command send them one to each side of the dwelling so as they are able to report back to command progress and the who, what, where, when, and how. So with ALL of that said (too much explanation sorry) even without hydrants the exposures should come first and with proper tanker round operations thru a preplan and training a consistent water supply should be set up quickly. Either way initial operations should and could start quickly.

That was really concerning to hear them say we have no water , what’s the first thing you are taught ? Secure a water supply on the way in

Wow, lots of interesting things to take away from this fire. I totally get the wind, and I totally get manpower (however, it seems to be reasonably available here). But the water supply issue… please. This is NOT an area without hydrants. There are two hydrants on the approach to this address (the house is located on a peninsula). A forward lay from either hydrant would’ve been possible on a single 1,200’ hose bed. Additionally, it’s a PENINSULA. And from google maps, I can see at least two places within about 400’ where a pumper could’ve easily accessed the bay and drafted. The water supply problem was inexcusable. Tactics… aside from failing to forward lay for a positive water supply to a known working fire, tactics seem lacking. The initial line failed to go interior. I know it’s a lightweight modern home, but the initial hose line team didn’t even have SCBA. The chiefs are simply walking back and forth pretending to listen to the radio. Two chiefs present and neither knows who’s next to arrive. Zero command presence. Deployment of large diameter water lines VERY late (arguably due to the failure of establishing a water supply. Defend it if you want. I’ve seen the jersey shore towns fight fire before, and SSH is notorious. Very poorly prepared, staffed, and equipped department for the amount of high value housing stock you protect. Take from cues from OCNJ and get yourselves together.

I agree, I read in another comment that it was around a quarter mile stretch from the hydrant, but that doesn’t mean nothing else can get done until the water supply was established. There were several people not doing much of anything and none of them had any sense of urgency. They could have been stretching dry lines so they were ready to go when the supply was finally secured. They could have been throwing ladders, caching tools, and wait for it…. packing up. I get that they are volunteers, but that doesn’t negate the need for a good training program. It is safe to assume that they were trying to “stretch” their tank water as far as they could so that’s why they deployed the small hand line, that or it’s what they always use so it was muscle memory, regardless even on tank water a 2 1/2 would have been more effective. Sure it’ll drain the tank faster but the BTU absorption would have bought time. There are several videos on KZread that illustrate this point. One single 2 1/2” line can put a lot of fire out in 45-60 seconds. Chief officers should have been able to recognize that much more could have been getting done during the early stages of this fire and made the appropriate tactical changes. Even if they have a policy to not go interior until a water supply is established, a 2 1/2” line on the outside would have been a better choice.

We don’t spend time filming, we focus our efforts on training and putting fires out. You can’t get upset if a video is posted and people critique it. There were some inadequacies in this video, if you could swallow some pride and listen to some of the feedback, then apply it, perhaps those inadequacies would be fewer next time. Every department has bad days, every department loses buildings. I’ve had a 25 year career captain deploy too small of a line on a fire and two houses were lost as a result. But, after every incident we have we do an AAR and we accept responsibility for our mess ups, we don’t deflect, then we train and we don’t do them again. We don’t need to post videos in efforts to look heroic then sit back and get told what we did wrong. We tell ourselves. That’s what makes a professional department. Just because you’re in a volunteer department doesn’t mean you can’t be a professional department. The community you serve deserves that whether there are served by volunteers or career firefighters. I get it, it’s hard to get quality training in a volunteer department, I started out as one myself. But the only way to get better is to make training a priority. I don’t believe my first post was hyper critical, I even tried to express the benefit of the doubt about making entry and line selection. But what I said about people not having urgency and not setting themselves up for success when a supply was established is irrevocably true. A 2 1/2” line would have also bought time… it wouldn’t have put the fire out, but it would have knocked a big chunk of it out.

As a service to the public, it would be cool for you to do a follow up on the cause of this fire. It might help prevent another such tragedy...

This fire was in Toms River, the 2 first apparatus were mutuL aid from Seaside Heights(ladder and engine). They did not secure water on the way in and began defensive operations(no interior). 3rd piece was a ladder from Toms River East Dover company; which set up their stick before the wires so as to also be able to protect the left exposure if the house next to it caught. That truck crew went to work pulling the already stretched exterior lines and began interior operations. By the time the 3rd due ladder was up, water had still not been secured, it wasnt until the 4th, 5th, or 6th pieced in that water was secured. Multiple issues but you can from the video who is capable and who can the job. Hopefully this gets pinned because it should shed some light on the situation. *Edit: another issue is that the mutual aid company is on county dispatch and TR units are on their own dispatch. It is hard to establish command after things are already screwed up and certain companies/depts are less aggressive than others

In the UK, 2 trucks = 3600 litres of water, put water from pump 2 into pump 1 which should mean that the driver and crews have enough time to ship a hydrant before the appliance water runs out and they go to soft suction.

Lots more TRAINING needed for all of these guys. Even the leaders.

So sad to see someone loose they're home. And that was a beautiful house. But I do love seeing the FireDex patch on the gear of the fire fighters. I retired from FireDex after 17 1/2 years. They make great gear.

"But it will raise the costs?!?!" some will argue with regards to using better materials, more fire proofing, etc... Bullshit, it'll raise the costs because the developers won't make as much of a margin as they like, they can't pull the wool over our eyes, we're not morons.

@@DanknDerpyGamer coming from the uk where the majority of homes are brick built, and commercial buildings are brick, steel and glass, that construction terrifies me. We have problems here where cladding has been retrofitted to buildings and the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower a few years ago, where many died, there is a concerted effort to make other similar buildings safe.

So easy for armchair generals to judge, lots of factors we don't see in a video from limited manpower, water availability, shoddy construction, weather conditions. From my perspective, it looked like the upper walls opened quickly (crappy construction?) and winds fanned the flames, considering how fast the fire moved and the windy conditions, I think these guys did a pretty good job holding the fire to one building.

I think there is a lot of difference in how fires are fought in Europe than the US. Thankfully we have always fought fires (unless structure dangerous) by comitting BA crews with hosereels or jets in the main. That certainly is not meant to detract from these crews who work by the SOP given

Where the hell was the water supply? If their truck has pumping capabilities (thus being a Quint), then they should most definitely carry LDH on the apparatus. This Department should cut down on their white helmet budget and start putting money into more black helmets because clearly they seem to lack the manpower to establish a water supply when that is genuinely one of the first priorities when arriving on a fire ground.
