**Read Description** Brentwood FD signal 13/35, 4/30/22

And folks this is how you burn down a house.

Worst fire department ever. Lines charged and no water on the fire. So many firemen with no leadership. First man on could have put fire out with a garden hose.

Chief, thanks for closing the door and opening the front gate for us. We really appreciate it brah

That first firefighter on scene should have closed the front door. It would have slowed the spread of the fire.

An incident commander on scene for five minutes leaving the front door open to make the fire worse, and a fire department scared of fire. Shocked that front porch could hold the weight of 6 FF standing there watching it burn. Thank god there was a hero in the backyard to contain a propane tank in the backyard not involved in the fire at all. At least the IC was comfortable leaning on the fence, not having a clue what he's doing and letting it burn to the ground. Keep sporting those t-shirts and getting those FF discounts at Dunkin boys! #heros

30 Minutes and the fire is still burning!

I do not armchair often, but this…was an absolute disgrace of Firefighting. If I was the homeowner, I would want answers as to why, 1. Why was the Heavy Rescue 1st due and not an engine company. 2. Absolutely no reason for 8 FF’s on the front step entryway. I guess these guys needed to cook their helmets. 3. At one point there were 17 FF’s standing in the front yard, watching the house burn. 4. 2.5 should have been the first line put into service, not a 1.34.

Can I ask a question???? Why weren’t 3 lines in operation??? Both sides and front coverage…I mean my intentions would be get the flames out immediately

For God’s sake, put some freaking water on it!

I hate being that “Monday morning quarterback” but if this is a buff page.. just showing the slow response & lack of work being done by personnel on scene .. I would not even upload it. It only brings a bad name to the department. I’m sure that they are a good department with a bunch of good guys. Yet this feels like I’m watching a snuff video for the vollies.

OH MY LORD...50 firefighters and they can't put out a shed fire??

After all that was said and (not) done, this house was nothing but a charred ruin. I actually began to think that this was a controlled-burn exercise by the fire department.

Absolute the worst foundation-saving nonsense! This was painful to watch. In the two years since this occurred, I sincerely hope retraining has been intense. I realize they're vollies,but,this was brutal incompetence.

First unit on site, the rescue truck. Not having seen it, I never would have believed it.

18:50. At least 20 firefighters in the yard and still no water on the fire through the roof

Considering the taxes that Suffolk County residents pay,, they certainly deserve better fire protection.

Standing around with your hands in your pockets no bunker pants on. CLOSE THE FRONT Door. What would happen if there was a rescue needed?

Nice to see they have bodies filling the gear, unfortunately they are only posing in the front yard…

Why is nobody attacking the fire from the outside ? I'm not a firefighter but I see a lot of mistakes in this video , again with most fire videos too many firemen standing around when there is work to be done , this fire was left to get out of control

57 firefighters standing in the yard and only 2 hoses , this fire should have been out in less than 10 minutes tops. It's a joke !
