FULLY INVOLVED STRUCTURE FIRE Lakewood New Jersey 5/2/24

Ocean County - Lakewood - Working Structure Fire - Fully Involved - 402 Picardy Ct.

Just around 3:15 PM Lakewood Police dispatched a reported working structure fire in Leisure Village in off Route 70. The first due officer and engine on scene reported heavy fire middle of the row-unit. Shortly after they laid in sum 400ft and stretched a 1.3/4 line for interior attack on the advanced fire. Shortly after Chief One pilled everyone out due to the heavy fire conditions above and rapidly spreading due to the heavy fire load and wind. Defensive mode was used and Ladder Five started flowing the ladder pipe and quickly knocking down the fire that had extended to all of the units. Units from Toms River, Brick Township, and Jackson Township all responded to this fire and or covered the town. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. No one was reported inside or injured either.

I fully respect the police and support them! I just think these encounters are funny they sometimes get a bit heated when it doesn’t have to be, don’t get me wrong I moved exactly when he told me to and did everything he said, I’ve got no issue just be respectful no need to threaten arrest over me working. When he was aware of what I was doing. Thanks yall for the support!

Glad that everyone was able to get out in time and that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident.
You can hear the wind faning the flames.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.

Firefighters in our area appreciate video taken of their work to help critique their tactics.

He has all the right to film, as long as he doesn't get in the way of fire personnel, or in dangers himself

Two things. First: Great work on the stick. Ladder company knocked down a ton of fire. Second....I've been watching a bunch of these Jersey Shore fire videos Truck 5 must be one the darn busiest (working structure fire) companies in the state!!! Holy cow....they're getting their money's worth out of that truck!!! Good videos all....keep 'em comin!!

Glad to finally see a fire company not try to use a hand line on a fully involved structure fire.

I am a Firefighter and I respect my fellow police brothers but that was a little excessive on The PD you were a good distance from the house and you wouldn’t have been a problem on my fire scene keep doing what you do bud

Man, that was ripping when you got there. Plus the wind fanning it....oh my, I feel for the residents.

[timothyransom]

When he said "no visible flames at this point" what exactly was he looking at?

[Allboozedup]

1- the reason the ladder wasn't in operation right away is because they did not have a water supply for it. They were already using their water supply for the hand line.

2- The rule with the police is that it's only considered "safe" when the scene is complete out of sight

These were my neighbors. They both got out with their dog and only the clothes on their back! It's tragic...I was right there the man filming was in the right and did wrong! These homes are so ola and have no fire walls! I jave a neighbor who is 90 all shehas to do is leave a pan on the stove and "Poof" all our homes in my row will burn to the ground!!! It's not safe here!!

[Refhater]

"Obstruction"... HA! It's the first thing they teach you on Day one at the academy. Threaten them with obstruction. "Sir you're only 5 miles away, I need you 6 miles away for your safety!" Easy there Paul Blart.

Rhe firefighters are the heroes in this video.
The cop was being a self-important ass. You were plenty far away. Good video, too!

[TrickyDickyone]

You were lucky to get that close, in the UK the cops would back you up so far, you wouldn't even see the smoke.

[alexkitner]

Cop was totally in the wrong, you werent anywhere that could possibly been considered as dangerous or obstructing.

Ice cream truck in background is a bonus! He prolly sold out for all the people watching !!

[caseycolburn]

Why wouldn’t they widen the stream? Just asking, spray pattern would be more effective
