Wow there was smoke pushing out just about everywhere from the building. So it was no surprise that once the flames burnt through the roof it raced through the building. Hopefully the civilian, made a full recovery. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.

In America, "vacant" means filled with balsam wood and old tires. I am always shocked by the amount of flammables left in abandoned buildings. Decades of add-ons, lean-to's and mazes of walls makes me worry about the fire fighters.

Question: so the caption says 3 alarm fire. But say on arrival depending on condition ...can you automatically just go from 2alarm and just raise it to a say 5 alarm....and just skip 3rd and 4th alarm ..

Just curious, what is the drone policy about flying drones near an emergency scene like this? I get not flying them when aircraft are being used, but what a situation like this?

What is stored inside? That sure went up fast.

was beer belly dave the skipper that day.

excellent video with the drone! might want to get a longer life battery for it (if an option) or a spare battery once that fire broke through the roof and companies open the big doors that fire just took off looks like all they could do at that point was try to contain it and let it burn alot of the fuel off judging by the outside i can just imagine all the stuff that was inside for the fire to consume

44:00 great shot in the bay door of the fire rolling overhead.

The ability to have a drone overhead providing confirmation of the location of an open roof ,a 360 view of exposures can be life saving and an invaluable resource for deploying members .Drone operators need to be qualified to be effective.Incident commanders need to understand how to incorporate these new tools .Safe tours always to all members while operating at,responding to and returning to quarter’s Perhaps in the near future Members of the Township $$ Board of directors will consider the value in investing in these programs .Which at the end of the day may save life and property 🙏🇺🇸

At 1:36 you can see a massive amout of smoke being forced out of the left part of the building. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a flashover.

Squatters have fun 🥰

wow that is a long lay from the ladder at the rear to an engine probably should have a booster engine in the center

Does anyone have insight into the water supply situation? Adequate water supply and pressure available at the hydrants? Enough hydrants? Old mains undersized mains or beautiful mains?Professional curiosity. I was biting my nails watching this. It just never seemed like they had enough water.

They should have more than just 3 engines and a ladder for a commercial building.

Abandoned building that has obviously been abandoned for a long time , crystal clear skies , it's not the 4th of July or New Years Eve , so what caused this fire , I would definitely say it was caused by friction , yes friction ! When the mortgage papers were rubbing against the insurance papers in the file cabinet ! Could there be any doubt ?

I don’t understand w all the man power and equipment they don’t get more water on fire. I’m not an expert but I would interested in an answer

Aaah, the classic "abandoned building full of flammable shit". One of the most frustrating fires you will ever respond to. Seems like these are always the same - you get some huge, ramshackle old building, built piecemeal over the years, often by joining multiple other buildings together in such a way as to maximize the number of false ceilings, weird void spaces between walls, etc., and always filled to the brim with old tires, old lumber, old cars, barrels of crude oil, shingles, clothes, pretty much anything that will burn. Half the building looks like it's about to collapse any minute, which is yet another reason for no interior attack. And they always put these in the part of town where half the hydrants are inoperable, or where there are no hydrants. Throw in a few homeless squatters and you have a recipe for disaster. I feel for these guys. I hate to think how many hours they were out there before this thing was done and dusted.

Forgot to add - The Mavic-3 (Cine or Pro) is great for its integral telephoto/zoom camera capabilities) It can really make the difference when you can’t get physically close…. The battery life is pretty good as well. I purchased 8 batteries and an EcoFlow bank for quick in field charging. I honestly did not believe the hype of longer operating life. I was pleasantly surprised to get 40+ minutes of flight with each. Outstanding piloting btw!

Have to pump these hydrants especially when multiple LDH are being used on the same main even at capacity. That was a long lay for 19 ladder 3, lot of friction loss at that distance. Eng 1 supplied them water so assuming they pumped the hydrant.

That greatly depends on what your 2nd and 3rd alarm assignments are. Every departments alarms are different and have a different amount of apparatus. A neighboring towns 2nd alarm is lakewoods working fire assignment.

I couldn't help notice what appears to be hundreds of people watching this fire , where I live nobody watches fires , to people here they are an inconvenience , something people try and avoid , you can't even find any fire buffs recording fires , traffic doesn't slow down to have a look , although we rarely even have fires , a fire this size is a once every ten year event .

You know that one really tasted like shit. Prolly there what between 4-5 hrs then get a rekindle at about 3am and what didn’t burn the first one did the 2nd😂😂😂😂

Who brought the kids that never shut up to the fire grounds??

All these regulations and still we have buildings like this for years after they should have been condemned.

So confused by your comment, water was on the fire in minutes.. maybe 1 min or so after I launched they had a 2.5 in service. Ladder pipe in ops soon after… 19-3 had to force entry that’s why that was delayed also they are from a different county & town. Lakewood only staffs 1&1 so everything else is mutual aid or volunteer from LFD, engine was put in service before the ladder per protocol. They had requested the ladder as well and as soon as it was staffed it was on scene.
