Published 2024-02-20
Around 4:20PM Wall Township got a call for a reported car fire on the GSP around 98 NB by the 195 exit. Shortly after another call came in saying 98 NB Left Shoulder, District 2 Glendola Company 2 was dispatched and the fist arriving chief confirmed the working car fire on the left shoulder. Engine 2-73 responded and quickly deployed the booster reel and had water on the fire, then they overhauled the car for further fire suppression. No injuries were reported and everyone got out safely. Great response by Wall Township District 2.

Is that a booster line I see. If so congrats to this dept. Most depts don't carry these anymore and rely on 1 3/4 which has to be stretched before charging. A booster line has instant water. No it's not meant for structure. But if you know how to use it can control a good amount of fire until a bigger line of needed can be deployed. Everyone had a tool coming off rig and very quick knock down thumbs up to this dept. Job well done

Good video. Thanks for sharing and not panning the camera all over the place.

These guys did everything right. The booster line was adequate and conserved water supply. All wore PPE. The engine was parked properly and at a safe distance. The sawzall was started up before needed. What else is there to say?
-
About 40 seconds from arrival to getting water out of the hose ! A good and quick job.
-
Finally, somebody that's embraced the booster reel.
-
Best one I’ve seen. Water on fire in under 45 seconds. No messing around with lay flat hoses.

Bummer for the motorist. Fire crew took care of that in pretty short order. Was that burning magnesium under the pax side? Sure looked like it to me - fond memories of old 60's VW bug transmission cases that met a sledgehammer, and campfires (7th grade me learned all I needed to know about the brilliant white flame of burning Mg tape in science class).

Hey great work everyone being on air on this call. See way too many fighting outside fires with the proper PPE on. Great team work as well.

Stay away from tires and front and rear gas-bumper shock absorber! We have had some blow lately they were like a bomb going off! Great coverage Jersey Shore Fire Response!

Car fires are becoming more and more frequent

Rolled up , utilised booster , all wearing BA, except the oic, good job, only observation to note is the fire truck should have been parked at the opposite angle on the road.

I am watching from Elmira NY good response time from the fire department
-
Say what you want in my first 10 years in the fire service (30 total) we used only red lines for vehicle fires --- it worked! I know modern day vehicles present many new challenges and hazards compared to vehicles made a decade or two ago! Be safe JSFR!

First video in a long time I have seen with the crew getting off the truck and ready to work. Good job !!!!
