Boys were running a line before the truck was even in park!! Love it!!! Also, that is the best mullet I have seen in ages.

That's an amazing response for a shed fire. Finally a US brigade that can respond quickly and put water to flames in a timely response. Hats off to them!

[jasonbathurst]

Seriously the fastest and most well trained department I've ever seen between arrival and getting water on the fire. These guys were hustling! Excellent work!

From the stop of the rig to ready for water was 20 seconds, water flowing in just under a minute. What a difference good training and showing up with a plan of attack makes.
Good work, your community should be proud! 🇺🇸

Very good response and teamwork. Nice job! These volunteers outperformed most full-time departments.

Good job, they are not wasting time like we can see on so many videos. As soon as they arrive they spray water. They saved the building.

Excellent knock No screwing around, pulled hose and went to work quick. Absolutely saved that house. Nice one Sea Side!!

2:56 - Handbrake on.
3:49 - Water on fire.
53 seconds from arrival to water on fire - One of the best responses from US firefighters I've seen.
Backwater rural stations in Germany are posting videos with HALF that time though, so don't let up on the training.

That was impressive! The truck had barely stopped and they were ready to fight the fire!

[neilcafiero]

I see so many videos of departments taking forever to get water on the fire. Seaside Heights got a line stretched and hitting the fire quicker than I have seen in a long time. Great knockdown on tank water. Awesome job Seaside Heights. !!!

[WillieBojangles]

Nice to see a FD roll up and actually put water on the fire quickly. Great training made that possible, well done!

[kevinstott]

I love it! Damn truck barely stopped, and 2 hand lines pulled! Water flowing extremely quick! Damn fine job!

[nohalome]

7:45. Total professionalism. No need to bust out every functional window. Just open them!

[hihfty]

Great video man but you dont have to keep repeating the size up over and over again. Keep up the good work.

[LTBROYTA]

This is what a textbook Fire Attack looks like. All pre-arrival Fire Videos should look like this !!I. In way too many pre-arrival videos the Fire departments often take five, ten, and some Fifteen minutes to get water on the fire after the first Engine arrives while people are aimlessly walking around in turnout gear doing nothing !!!

Barry Broyles Retired Captain Baltimore City Fire Department

Again, Great Job Guys

[braddavenport]

Nice to see a Dept.that Knows how to open a window instead of busting every one out like “other” departments do, Great Job!

[jims]

It boggles my mind how some departments can get water on the fire in 60 seconds, while other departments in similar situations take 5-6 minutes or longer.

[stevekiray]

Excellent and rapid knockdown by a purely volunteer squad! You guys nailed it. Nothing like vinyl siding and osb to go up like a roman candle!

[johnmanor]

As a incident safety officer, these volunteers did a excellent job knocking down the fire, there were some things that were pointed out, but they are volunteers. No one got hurt. Everyone goes home. You don’t know who you are getting at any giving point when the alarm comes in. It’s always easy to Monday morning quarterback. Excellent job on first due getting water on the fire!
