Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department works 3rd alarm apartment fire under construction

JFRD responded to a high-rise fire to an eight story apartment building that was under construction. Smoke was showing from the upper floors when crews arrived on scene. The engine officer knew the building was under construction and let it be known early. An early offensive/interior attack was initiated to a fire found on the seventh floor. Standpipe systems were made up the side of the building and up aerial ladders to supply water to the crews fighting the fire on the sixth and seventh floors. Command called for a second alarm assignment almost immediately and followed that with the third alarm not long after that as it was clear that this was a manpower intensive operation. The offensive attack lasted nearly two and a half hours when fire then breached the roof. Because the building was under construction, crews dealt with unfinished stairwells, access issues, unprotected elevator shafts along with burnt through floors. Ultimately being the catalyst to pull crews out and to go defensive. Quickly, seven ladder pipes were set up all around the building, each one being supplied by an engine on a separate hydrant. Crews attempted to hook into the sprinkler system to attempt to thwart the growth of the fire...unsuccessfully. Collapse became a major concern as we were pumping 1,000's of gallons of water into this building with fire damage and unfinished construction to also consider. This fire burned through the entire night and into the following day...with hot spots flaring up even 5 days later as demolition of the structurally unsafe apartments were slated for demolition. This video contains a lot of audio from this fire...please note, the audio does not line up with the video...but gives you an idea of considerations and operations of the Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department.
