OC - Lakewood - New Jersey - 135 E Kennedy Blvd. - Two Alarms - BOX 11


Around 1:19 PM Lakewood Police received a phone call for a fire. The caller reported smoke from the apt building, he tried to make entry but the smoke was too heavy he stated that he saw food on the stove to PD. After that, he exited the Apt and called 911. Shortly after PD arrived on scene and reported smoke showing from the building. C-1 then requested the BOX be upgraded to a working fire assignment. L-5 was first due with smoke showing from stories 1 & 2. E-5 was lying in from a hydrant down the road, they had a short lay but made do with tank water and knocked most of the fire while stretching a 1.3/4 line into the front door. C-1 then upgraded the fire to a second alarm due to the closest hydrant being frozen, while E-5 was short on the lay in they had no water supply established. Shortly after a water supply was established by E-5 & E-2. L-5 was on ventilation. Fire from the D side was venting out the windows while E-2 stretched a 1.3/4 line to the D side to suppress the fire. Freezing conditions are around 22 degrees. Crews operated for around 2 hours and the cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

    It sucks royally fighting a fire in bitter cold weather. I have done it. Our apparatuses froze up, and our lines froze up. I had ice literally on my bunker gear. The roads and grassy areas around the fire scene were covered in thick, thick layer of ice. It was a freaking nightmare!!!

    A thought: First line to the fire floor and not pushing from the exterior. Especially when you have guys inside. You are pushing the fire towards them. Second line to the floor above. I’m not sure if a line ever made it up there. 15:13 More horizontal ventilation. Without working off a stick it might have been too icy on the roof. Guys with hooks to pull ceilings on the fire floor. Third line if needed to the exposure along with hooks to check for extension. Tough break on the frozen hydrant. Lucky it was probably room and contents and so was mostly knocked down with booster tank water. Also, some more ladders to the second floor.

    Fire Chief needs to move away and provide direction not be up in the middle barking verbal orders to companies! Giving thumbs up for great coverage!
  • @hectorarbelo9965
    I don’t understand you have guys inside. Why would you attack from the outside?
