Did you know there's a fire. not all the men or water in all the world can put out. Who only one can SAVE YOU FROM!! Only Jesus Christ can save your soul and rescue from hell.
How do you allow a pallet yard of that size underneath a critical piece of infrastructure with homeless camps? No accumulation of fuels like this should ever be allowed under an elevated freeway. Ever. This is a repeat of the downtown Atlanta or the Great Philly Tire Fire.
Huge respect for the person who filmed this. Not only great work with the camera, but you took the time to be human also in trying to help save lives. That should always come before filming and you definitely restore my faith in humanity. Great job!
Being a career firefighter (captain) and have seen many major fires and industrial explosions I will have to say it has been a long time since seeing such an impressive fire! Great job LAFD fighting and managing this fire having to deal with water supplies and homeless encampment around the fire!!! OnScene TV, all I can say is incredible video capture of this fire! I actually felt like I was on the front seat watching this fire! I kept wanting to give incident command orders even though I know they were kicking butt giving direction to incoming resources :)

Check out this fire in LA from 8 years ago! A huge apartment complex under construction was set on fire. The fire was so big and hot, that stuff was spontaneously combusting across the 8 lane freeway and in nearby buildings computers and cubicles were melting. Here is part 1 and there's a part 2. It's quite impressive! ruclips.net/video/A0WunnKcbuc/видео.htmlsi=hwLrjTm4qvoH2h7j
they're homeless because they are addicts that don't want to work. there's not problem with a person being an addict if they work for their addiction, but these people would rather be out on the street than work a job that will keep a roof over their head which they can do their business in private. instead they rather rot on the streets and the state provides them the supplies to all they have to do is find money for their drugs and they're set. I've bought these people food at mcdonalds when I handed them the food they asked me for the receipt and asked the guy why do they want the receipt and he told me in case he needed to go in for a refill. I said ok gave it to him walked to my car and then I went back in to use the restroom before I took off. the guy was inside asking for a refund so he can use the money for drugs. now when I buy it I don't give them the receipt you either eat the food or throw it away. they don't eat it and they don't throw it away they go and sell the food to another person for a few bucks. prop 47 needs to be reversed and we can go back to the cops arresting them and putting them in rehab. they also don't want to live in shelters or homeless housing because they aren't allowed to do their drugs.
Exactly, you would think the stupid State departments would of learned from the catastrophic fire in atlanta under the interstate. This should be enforced everywhere and hopefully this company has to pay for this destruction.
@@JohnnyMack4785 Nearly all the politicians that are in LA ( 85% at least ) are republicans. Down here in Georgia, we used to have a very low crime rate when most who lived here were democrats. But the more republicans that started living here, the higher the crime rate went up. I'm really surprised that things like what happened here at this bridge doesn't happen more often.
Silly question. Why is a pallet company allowed to build/rebuild and store pallets under a freeway? I'm just me, and no way would I have allowed that. Just saying.
This is only one of probably hundreds of fires the LAFD has had to respond to as a result of the homeless in the area. As someone who drives over this stretch of freeway I can tell you I see atleast one fire a day on my drive back home. I say blame it on the homeless. The fire won't start itself.
I moved back from New Mexico and I passed through that area as I was exiting the Alameda exit and saw all that s**t piled up and saids to myself it's a recipe for a big huge fire 44 days ago and I am nobody smdh
So sad, and probably who knows how many feral cats lived in that yard as well. When I lived in San Diego years ago I was always finding stray cats & kittens in a nautical supply yard behind my duplex. Always living and having kittens in stacks of pallets. :-(
I work for dot in a different state.. I can pretty much tell that the bridge is going to need extensive repairs.. Glad to see the dog was saved.. Major props to all the firefighters on seen!!
How long do you think it’ll take Caltran to fix this major overpass / highway? Obviously you won’t know exactly but from you professional opinion, how long?
I am not a structural engineer, but there is no way those bridges are worth anything after all that fire underneath them. When I was a Firefighter back in the day, we were called to a mutual aid where it was a sawmill with several adjacent buildings on fire and our first thought was "Where the hell do we start"? Kudos to the LAFD for jumping in and getting a handle on this fairly quick considering how much fire was there on rollup.
100% correct. Concrete based bridges will collapse if the fire is intense enough and burns for a very long time. It has happened a few times within the past 10 years. Even though it's still standing, there are massive chunks of concrete missing from the support beams and the damage is likely to get worse, because the fire was still burning as of earlier today. In Atlanta only a very short section of the freeway collapsed and it took 6 weeks to repair. Los Angeles's traffic is going to get 100x worse for a long time.
Please post the names of the people who shot this footage. It's an accomplishment. You showed the whole disaster, and the underlying failures that allowed it, in the greatest possible depth. This is brilliant work.

Imagine. Pallet storage UNDERNEATH a major freeway with homeless encampment immediately adjacent to it. What could possibly go wrong ? Ask fire prevention.
The authorities believe the fire was intentionally set. And it turns out the company was being sued by the state. So it could have been set by the business owner or someone working for him. We'll see in the coming days.
I love the straight videoing with no narration. The state of California allows someone to store thousands of stacked wooden pallets under a freeway overpass. It also allows homeless people to live and build shelters with the pallets under the overpass. The homeless burn fires to stay warm. What could go wrong? Cars just continue to drive over the inferno. This is Los Angeles in its final days.

good job boys!! my dad was La county fire captain for like 25 years, makes me proud to see u guys kick ass. also the engine that was burnt looked like it was still pumping water lol.
Well, maybe not. They had that thing on the east coast last summer where they thought that it would be closed forever, but with some new invented thing they got it open in less than a month. Fingers crossed for you guys.
Did you know there's a fire. not all the men or water in all the world can put out. Who only one can SAVE YOU FROM!! Only Jesus Christ can save your soul and rescue from hell.
Armchair quarterback here. Looks like a combination: pallet yard, scrap yard, homeless encampment. Recipe for disaster. The sad thing is, every city of any size is now dealing with an enormous homeless population. Yeah, lets open the boarder when we can't even get a handle on our own problems. Thanks joe. Amazing job by the firefighters and first responders.
The homeless are Americans that Conservatives refuse to help because that would be “Socialism.” I’m all for raising the age where people can collect Social Security to 80, the Boomers have EVERYTHING handed to them on a silver plate. Hard work might do them some good.
This video journalist deserves an award, this cideo had it all! Firefighting, actual fighting, a dog rescue, and aparently a pigeon rescue and im not even half way thru yet
Same feeling here. Im halfway through and I had to take a break. It must have been terrifying. I wonder why the dog wouldnt leave. I was thinking that it was thirst and wanted the water. At a few points it stopped to drink the run off.
don't you think you would be providing more of a public service if you were to pray about the fires which haven't happened yet? It would sure make the firefighters' jobs easier.
Amazing footage of the fire, horrified at the magnitude of this! Heroic firefighters and first responders as usual, I hope they don’t suffer any consequences from the heat and smoke their bodies took. So glad no one was hurt. Would have been scary to have been stuck on that bridge in a car. What a traffic nightmare. Kudos to the kind people who saved the dog and birds.
Unbelievable footage, amazing camera work---you are one brave, and careful person. Shout out to the firefighters, law enforcement, people saving the dog. Fifty thumbs down to the 3 morons arguing over whose sweater it is. I'm impressed w/ the professionalism of the LAFD & the ability to coordinate all the various agencies. So glad no one injured.
Excellent shots of the damaged concrete which spalled due to the intense heat 30:30. It is hard to see where the pallet yard ends and the homeless encampments begins.
Wow!!!! those firefighters were looking hell right in the face in this one, but as always the Heros were kicking ass and keeping everyone safe. You ONSCENE TV did an amazing job capturing this on video, it looked apocalyptic inside afterwards.
I often had to drive through this area of LA and often wondered why all this stuff was allowed to be stored under the freeway! Over the years there seemed to be more and more things shoved under there. And there are a few other areas like this, just waiting for a spark. This is great footage Buddy!
@@AllenPortman You mean like the business that was allowed to stack massive amounts of dry tinder under the bridge without any safety measures in place? Of course that MUST be what you are referring to, and not the victims of those corporations and income inequality.
@@boycott2720🤣🤣🤣 most of these homeless people are on drugs and it was their addiction that coast them their life style and it definitely wasn't the corporations that forced them to take the drugs. Plus the city failed for not forcing this place to have safety measures.
I live here in Southern California and it seems like every year there are always several pallet yards and/or recycling facilities going up in a blaze. This one here was likely started by the homeless. It's also pretty surprising that one side of the freeway was allowed to remain open. I've seen the highway patrol close the entire freeway for lesser reasons.
Youre correct, both sides should have been closed in both directions. I'm safely guessing Law Enforcement agencies did not have enough Officers to cover. The supervisors should be held accountable and the Governor should review this matter and pressure the law enforcement commissioner.
@@TheSuperStarCarWash: Please cite the source for this information. Or did you see the fire being started? Do you also contend that Joe Biden was behind it all? I rather believe it was zoning regs that permit "pallet yards" to exist and maybe also that California, along with most other communities, has no system for housing the homeless or employing them productively.
Wow this is a major fire event way beyond out of control this a truly a tragic situation occurring here , and to all the brothers and sisters who responded from all Fire Department's and First Responder's from their Department's and I am sorry for the loss of one of your Fire Rigs being damaged from this horrible fire that took place , and I also want to thank all Law Enforcement who responded to this very unfortunate tragic incident to keep order in place , and All Of You from Every Emergency Personnel and Responding Department's did a outstanding great job doing all your best to keep everyone and the public and property safe👏 !!!!!!
WOW! WHAT A FIRE!...MY HEART WENT OUT TO THAT POOR DOG WITH ITS TAIL BETWEEN ITS LEGS...SO FRIGHTENED...I HOPE HE'S SAFE...GOOD WORK ONSCENE TV...AND A RENEWED RESPECT FOR FIREFIGHTERS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHEN FIGHTING THESE MASSIVE FIRE EVENTS...🙏
It’s called evaporation. It’s a big ass waste of precious water. But the LAFD is to stupid to use other means at their disposal. Trust me I’ve had meetings with them and they are the stupidest FD in the country!
Damn, it was a nightmare trying to get home off the 10 freeway heading west by Mission. It took an hour to just exit and re-route downtown LA and when I was able to get on the freeway the 10 east was backed up for miles. We shall see what the structural engineers say about this stretch of the freeway.
The city of LA has been negligent for this to happen. Nobody there seemed to be concerned of the danger of pallet storage yard, homeless people cooking, not to mention smokers flicking their lit cigarettes everywhere. City officials need to accept failures, neglect and incompetence of their duties. Don't make the people of the state and maybe everyone in the country for the repairs.
I have driven by this immediate area many times and the homeless set their own fires all the time. You can see some streets blackened with soot. I have seen city crews clean up the encampment sites but the homeless come right back.
If a business is going to store things under the freeway that can damage it, they should be required to install a sprinkler system. That should be a no brainer.
If you are going to allow flammable materials to be stored under a freeway, shouldn't it be retrofitted with sprinklers to protect the structure? We saw this happen in Atlanta and now Los Angeles. Stupidity runs high in this country. Taxpayers should not have to cover the cost of repairs.
I don't believe sprinklers would have done much here. It was a violation at least of the lease agreement to store the pallets there and apparently they were already in the process of being evicted, but that takes an eternity. There's no possible way the company leasing the space would have enough to cover this. The taxpayers will eat it
Too many KNOW-IT-ALLS in this world, now the decisions THEY MADE AT THE ROUND TABLE are coming back to haunt them, can't wait to see WHO is gonna accept their part of being responsible for this disaster!.......hmmmmmm
Good job and much respect to the firefighters. Glad California still has diesel fire engine, because them battery trucks surely ain't gonna work on these monster fires 🔥.
So you blame the victims of income inequality, instead of the business that was allowed to store combustable materials under an important transportation corridor without ANY safety measures in place. You are what is wrong with this society.
@@hellomoto9206 It could have been something thrown from the freeway. But of course you would not think of that. You just want to blame vulnerable people.
I have seen some fires on variuos sites on YT and this is above the best, fantastic coverage, and putting your own safety at risk, well done LAFD, I cannot help but think the heat generated from this would have compromised the road structure, great coverage again, Stay Safe. Riich in the UK
That's why in Europe they use foam to extinguish fires. In USA we only use it at airports. Foam is substantially more viable at extinguishing fires quickly than water.
@@Seadog..C5 Water is very effective, if you have enough water placed properly. But water can only remove but so much heat. Fire sprinklers catch it early, before the fire can get established, and cause far less water damage than the fire department will when they arrive. Oxygen generally does not burn, when it is already-burned. Water is the same as already-burned hydrogen. Did you sleep through chemistry class?
@@yosefmacgruber1920 I taught it. Damage control officer USS Midway Temperature.. fuel.. oxygen Those three elements are needed for fire Everything Burns young man. Even water. Eliminate one of the three conditions and you eliminate the combustion Try living what you speak. ( "Oxygen generally does not burn" ) That's a good one A question for you.. be honest with yourself and answer it without googling.. ? Why do they have water injection for very high performance internal combustion aircraft engines ?
@@Seadog..C5 Water generally can not burn, unless you have some even more reactive chemical involved. Very few things can burn underwater. Why did you take my statement out of context? Oxygen generally does not burn,w hen it is already bonded to hydrogen. What do you get when you burn hydrogen? Water. So it has already released its energy. Oh, I don't know. Maybe to control temperature? Do you know what happens when water is greatly heated? Steam. Maybe it adds to the expanding gases. We used to have this thing called the steam engine. Did you know that rocket engines used the liquid fuel to cool the rocket nozzle to keep it from melting? No wonder they used liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. Pre-chilled so cold that ice would be falling off upon blast off. Not many substances can be so cold without freezing.
Incredible! Only in Los Angeles would you have a pallet yard beneath major interstate highway systems along with homeless encapment surrounding the complex of fire...oh yeah with a fight in the middle of the highway 😒 ONSCENE TV awsome video capture! Thank you for capturing and sharing!
It's alarming to hear about the situation in Los Angeles. How do local authorities and organizations address the challenges of homelessness and safety in such complex environments? What measures are being taken to ensure the well-being of both the homeless population and the general public in these areas?
To the one who did the filming of this major fire, you did a amazing work. Congratulation to you! Gilles from Montreal 👏👍

The truth is the company must be paying good money to the municipality to store the pallets there, if not, they should.

run by democrats. they love turning cities into shitholes
That's what happens when you allow emotion driven city officials to take charge of effective policy proven issues.
Gotta love the corruption of our government 🙌 they make money off of peoples suffering
The bridge will probably be deemed dangerous now because of weakening of the structure. I sure know I wouldn't want to travel it now.
With no sprinkler?

good job boys!! my dad was La county fire captain for like 25 years, makes me proud to see u guys kick ass. also the engine that was burnt looked like it was still pumping water lol.
That freeway will have to be closed for months to repair it I feel sorry the people that have to drive thru there everyday.
The most incredibly messed up major city freeway system is now worse.
Well, maybe not. They had that thing on the east coast last summer where they thought that it would be closed forever, but with some new invented thing they got it open in less than a month. Fingers crossed for you guys.
Dude I take that freeway everyday it’s going to be a mess 😢
@@chriskelly6559 It is the population that is messed up. The freeway system is fine.
That area of the 10 fwy is the East LA interchange & is the busiest interchange in the country. I can’t imagine how awful traffic will be Monday
Firefighters deserve respect & better pay/benefits.
Did you know there's a fire. not all the men or water in all the world can put out. Who only one can SAVE YOU FROM!!
Only Jesus Christ can save your soul and rescue from hell.
They make 200k. You want to pay more
Oof wait till you hear about their overtime lol they more than ok
Many prayers goes out to all of the firefighters involved 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Armchair quarterback here. Looks like a combination: pallet yard, scrap yard, homeless encampment. Recipe for disaster. The sad thing is, every city of any size is now dealing with an enormous homeless population. Yeah, lets open the boarder when we can't even get a handle on our own problems. Thanks joe. Amazing job by the firefighters and first responders.
Forgot to mention sleeze ball Newsom.
The homeless are Americans that Conservatives refuse to help because that would be “Socialism.”
I’m all for raising the age where people can collect Social Security to 80, the Boomers have EVERYTHING handed to them on a silver plate. Hard work might do them some good.
This is what covid was designed to do.
Of course you had to make it political
lectricefence1
You are right on with that statement
This video journalist deserves an award, this cideo had it all! Firefighting, actual fighting, a dog rescue, and aparently a pigeon rescue and im not even half way thru yet
Same feeling here. Im halfway through and I had to take a break. It must have been terrifying. I wonder why the dog wouldnt leave. I was thinking that it was thirst and wanted the water. At a few points it stopped to drink the run off.
Yup even stupid people driving across a burning bridge like they are extras in some action movie. Smh.
So much love and respect to all of the firefighters! Praying for you and will not stop praying for days!❤
don't you think you would be providing more of a public service if you were to pray about the fires which haven't happened yet? It would sure make the firefighters' jobs easier.
Oh my- I wish I would have mentioned that! Before I even make a comment I always pray for safety and Gods loving arms around them!
Amazing footage of the fire, horrified at the magnitude of this! Heroic firefighters and first responders as usual, I hope they don’t suffer any consequences from the heat and smoke their bodies took. So glad no one was hurt. Would have been scary to have been stuck on that bridge in a car. What a traffic nightmare. Kudos to the kind people who saved the dog and birds.
Unbelievable footage, amazing camera work---you are one brave, and careful person. Shout out to the firefighters, law enforcement, people saving the dog. Fifty thumbs down to the 3 morons arguing over whose sweater it is. I'm impressed w/ the professionalism of the LAFD & the ability to coordinate all the various agencies. So glad no one injured.
Scott just saw your footage on my weather channel. Great work! 👏👏👏
Excellent shots of the damaged concrete which spalled due to the intense heat 30:30. It is hard to see where the pallet yard ends and the homeless encampments begins.
The reality is that fire just canceled out all the electric vehicle goals in California for next 10 years
The global is warming more worser now and Newsome
Is isshing his pants 😂
😂😂-okay, now that’s hilarious!
Wow!!!! those firefighters were looking hell right in the face in this one, but as always the Heros were kicking ass and keeping everyone safe. You ONSCENE TV did an amazing job capturing this on video, it looked apocalyptic inside afterwards.
I often had to drive through this area of LA and often wondered why all this stuff was allowed to be stored under the freeway! Over the years there seemed to be more and more things shoved under there. And there are a few other areas like this, just waiting for a spark. This is great footage Buddy!
They are all over the place, right next to freeways. It makes no sense.
It’s all the homeless people living along the side that started all this
Are you insane? Yes, you are.
Never mind the giant stack of firewood under the overpass and the dry 50 mph winds.
I would agree....they are the only ones without having to comply with local laws or regulations 😡😡😡
@@AllenPortman You mean like the business that was allowed to stack massive amounts of dry tinder under the bridge without any safety measures in place? Of course that MUST be what you are referring to, and not the victims of those corporations and income inequality.
@@boycott2720🤣🤣🤣 most of these homeless people are on drugs and it was their addiction that coast them their life style and it definitely wasn't the corporations that forced them to take the drugs. Plus the city failed for not forcing this place to have safety measures.
I live here in Southern California and it seems like every year there are always several pallet yards and/or recycling facilities going up in a blaze. This one here was likely started by the homeless.
It's also pretty surprising that one side of the freeway was allowed to remain open. I've seen the highway patrol close the entire freeway for lesser reasons.
Firefornia 🔥
Homeless people need pallets too.
Youre correct, both sides should have been closed in both directions. I'm safely guessing Law Enforcement agencies did not have enough Officers to cover. The supervisors should be held accountable and the Governor should review this matter and pressure the law enforcement commissioner.
it was the illegal immigrant homeless people who caused this
@@TheSuperStarCarWash: Please cite the source for this information. Or did you see the fire being started? Do you also contend that Joe Biden was behind it all? I rather believe it was zoning regs that permit "pallet yards" to exist and maybe also that California, along with most
other communities, has no system for housing the homeless or employing them productively.
Must have been an adrenaline rush for you Scott, I’m still shook from watching. You NAILED it! 👏🏻
🙏🏻 For the first responses🙏🏻
God bless and protect the Firemen that in dangerously, and diligently work together putting off infernal fires like this risking their lives.❤
What a genius location for a pallet yard. What are the odds this was started by a homeless person...🤔
Pretty sure the commander of Fire Engine 17 is going to have a lot of explaining to do as to why they lost their engine.
2000 to 3000 thousand F degrees nuff said! Truck was still working fine though. Praise American gumption and savoir-faire.
@@belamoureNo reason it was every parked that close. It was heavily burning when they arrived.
Watched this live last night. You guys all did great, capturing some amazing footage! Wow.🔥
Oh, LosAngeles looks like such a safe, lovely place to live!
Man saved a pigeon that’s showing god love right there
Wow this is a major fire event way beyond out of control this a truly a tragic situation occurring here , and to all the brothers and sisters who responded from all Fire Department's and First Responder's from their Department's and I am sorry for the loss of one of your Fire Rigs being damaged from this horrible fire that took place , and I also want to thank all Law Enforcement who responded to this very unfortunate tragic incident to keep order in place , and All Of You from Every Emergency Personnel and Responding Department's did a outstanding great job doing all your best to keep everyone and the public and property safe👏 !!!!!!
Fire trucks on scene but PD can't close the freeway?
Why?
A few thousand dollars worth of pallets destroying tens of millions of dollars of highway and a bunch of people with shit for brains.
Lol too busy giving out tickets and being typical lazy
I watched this live last night and I had to see this again I hope someone does a daytime video. Great coverage btw
WOW! WHAT A FIRE!...MY HEART WENT OUT TO THAT POOR DOG WITH ITS TAIL BETWEEN ITS LEGS...SO FRIGHTENED...I HOPE HE'S SAFE...GOOD WORK ONSCENE TV...AND A RENEWED RESPECT FOR FIREFIGHTERS FOR WHAT THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHEN FIGHTING THESE MASSIVE FIRE EVENTS...🙏
Great video! Cali fire rocks! Pitiful scenes of the homeless under the freeway. Brave souls rescued the poor dog. God bless you all!
Amazing how much water a fire can absorb with no effect
You have enough water being applied to absorb more BTU's than the fire can produce. A big fire isn't going to go out the second you put water on it.
I saw videos of the Medici Condos construction site fire a few years ago and the hose streams vaporized before they even hit the flames.
That's why airplane fires are put out with foam, lots of foam.
It’s called evaporation. It’s a big ass waste of precious water. But the LAFD is to stupid to use other means at their disposal. Trust me I’ve had meetings with them and they are the stupidest FD in the country!
Not really
Damn, it was a nightmare trying to get home off the 10 freeway heading west by Mission. It took an hour to just exit and re-route downtown LA and when I was able to get on the freeway the 10 east was backed up for miles. We shall see what the structural engineers say about this stretch of the freeway.
Glad no one was hurt in the fire, I've never seen a burnt out fire engine before.
You folks give great news. No BS just news! Thank you for the job you do. Keep it up plz!!
Tnx to all first responders, firefighters, On Scene for getting it all incl. the squabble, oh, and of course the doggo who helped by peeing on it 😂
The city of LA has been negligent for this to happen. Nobody there seemed to be concerned of the danger of pallet storage yard, homeless people cooking, not to mention smokers flicking their lit cigarettes everywhere. City officials need to accept failures, neglect and incompetence of their duties. Don't make the people of the state and maybe everyone in the country for the repairs.
Typical democrat mentality. Anyone with a brain could have anticipated a disaster like this.
What else is new.
People trapped in their cars…I would have terrified by the mushrooming fire and explosions.
I have driven by this immediate area many times and the homeless set their own fires all the time. You can see some streets blackened with soot. I have seen city crews clean up the encampment sites but the homeless come right back.
Thank you, I drive this stretch at night every day and I've observed fires almost on a daily. Sometimes multiple fires.
Welcome to a demonrat ran city!!
Now THAT has a carbon footprint!
GOD BLESS ALL YOU FIRE FIGHTERS ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow! That was the first decent report, i've seen in years! Great, sober footage, and well founded interview at the end. Respects to the team!
Love the Doggo pissing on the tarp😃
Im Helping too🐕🤣
Great capture on that one💯
A Pallet Fire! Who would have thought that could happen... oh...wait.
I can’t believe people are that dumb to driver over the fire that concrete could give way
It hardens under fire.
Is not like they can suddenly stop at high speed. Highway patrol should have closed the freeway sooner
If a business is going to store things under the freeway that can damage it, they should be required to install a sprinkler system. That should be a no brainer.
If you are going to allow flammable materials to be stored under a freeway, shouldn't it be retrofitted with sprinklers to protect the structure? We saw this happen in Atlanta and now Los Angeles. Stupidity runs high in this country. Taxpayers should not have to cover the cost of repairs.
I don't believe sprinklers would have done much here. It was a violation at least of the lease agreement to store the pallets there and apparently they were already in the process of being evicted, but that takes an eternity. There's no possible way the company leasing the space would have enough to cover this. The taxpayers will eat it
Too many KNOW-IT-ALLS in this world, now the decisions THEY MADE AT THE ROUND TABLE are coming back to haunt them, can't wait to see WHO is gonna accept their part of being responsible for this disaster!.......hmmmmmm
Having a homeless camp in a pallet storage yard under a freeway what could possibly go wrong?
Good job and much respect to the firefighters. Glad California still has diesel fire engine, because them battery trucks surely ain't gonna work on these monster fires 🔥.
give it time🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great job Scott,... we ❤ur work here LA
This is so sad, I hope everyone is OK God bless you all 😢
GREAT JOB,"ON SCEAN",AS ALWAYS ! THANKS FOR THAT ! LIL BIT ANGRY IT WAS ! STAY SAFE ! 🇺🇲
Profound video. Cinematographic art. What a privilege to be able to see it.
God bless these firefighters 🙏🏻
My son had his windshield smashed by a brick last weekend in that area by some crazy guy that was pissed off about who knows what.
That’s so scary-I’m so glad your son is okay!
Thank you to the fire fighters. I am terrified of fire. You guys and women must have balls of steel and what ever is the equivalent for women.
Women are not genetically compatible with the equipment loads or exertion requirements of a modern fireman.
Ovaries
@@st.dennie1149 Maybe you didn't notice women were there.
@@sharonhoyt2133 Why are the fire department physical fitness requirements more lax for women? That needs to change.
@@sharonhoyt2133 That changes nothing about what I said.
This is horrible. Thanks for the braveness and all the firefighters. I am glad this didn’t turn into another I-95 overpass collapse
That fire was insane, I was stuck watching it on my tv on your Live stream all morning... That was some awesome camera footage .
I Watchung from Seattle on another channel as well. Who knew it would be that impressive. Scott definitely took some risks❤
3:17. Storing 100s of pallets under a highway.
What a great idea.
Absolutely not a danger in the event of a fire. Such a genius move.
🤦♂️🤦♂️
Started by a homeless person, then the homeless people became a hinderance to fighting the fire....get them off the streets of LA!
¿Quien tendrá la valentía necesaria para tomar una decisión como esa ?
So you blame the victims of income inequality, instead of the business that was allowed to store combustable materials under an important transportation corridor without ANY safety measures in place. You are what is wrong with this society.
@boycott2720 , how about we hold those who started the fire accountable.
The rents are outrageously high- the rent shouldn’t be more than what you make monthly
@@hellomoto9206 It could have been something thrown from the freeway. But of course you would not think of that. You just want to blame vulnerable people.
This video is really good. I hope someone could give him award for this historic video.
I have seen some fires on variuos sites on YT and this is above the best, fantastic coverage, and putting your own safety at risk, well done LAFD, I cannot help but think the heat generated from this would have compromised the road structure, great coverage again, Stay Safe. Riich in the UK
It's always amazed me that no matter how much water you put on a fire it just won't go out. Sometimes it even spreads....
That's why in Europe they use foam to extinguish fires. In USA we only use it at airports. Foam is substantially more viable at extinguishing fires quickly than water.
Improper use of water in fighting the fire. Water is mostly oxygen, oxygen is one of the three elements of Fire. Read my comment above
@@Seadog..C5
Water is very effective, if you have enough water placed properly. But water can only remove but so much heat. Fire sprinklers catch it early, before the fire can get established, and cause far less water damage than the fire department will when they arrive.
Oxygen generally does not burn, when it is already-burned. Water is the same as already-burned hydrogen. Did you sleep through chemistry class?
@@yosefmacgruber1920
I taught it.
Damage control officer USS Midway
Temperature.. fuel.. oxygen
Those three elements are needed for fire
Everything Burns young man. Even water.
Eliminate one of the three conditions and you eliminate the combustion
Try living what you speak.
( "Oxygen generally does not burn" )
That's a good one
A question for you.. be honest with yourself and answer it without googling..
? Why do they have water injection for very high performance internal combustion aircraft engines ?
@@Seadog..C5
Water generally can not burn, unless you have some even more reactive chemical involved. Very few things can burn underwater.
Why did you take my statement out of context? Oxygen generally does not burn,w hen it is already bonded to hydrogen. What do you get when you burn hydrogen? Water. So it has already released its energy.
Oh, I don't know. Maybe to control temperature? Do you know what happens when water is greatly heated? Steam. Maybe it adds to the expanding gases. We used to have this thing called the steam engine. Did you know that rocket engines used the liquid fuel to cool the rocket nozzle to keep it from melting? No wonder they used liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. Pre-chilled so cold that ice would be falling off upon blast off. Not many substances can be so cold without freezing.
Who’s the genius that had the bright idea of storing pallets under a freeway????
Following
Serafin’s Distribution 1361 Lawrence St, Los Angeles, CA 90021 😒
Its a common thing
Only in California do people drive through a fire crazy.
Californians HAVE AGENDAS to fill; other people in other states are NOT as busy as busy bees Californians.
Or just be the only vehicle to stop and get rear ended at 70 mph? Big risks involved either way!!
They should have shut the freeway down in both directions
I know but Californians love their lives too much to be stopped by a stupid ( in their opinion) fire of 3000 F degrees hot. @@Richard-ZA01
@@Richard-ZA01they did.
Your videography is always great but it was outstanding here! It real captured all of the intensity.
14:25 Fight
Yeah, does anybody know why they were fighting? My only guess is road rage...
Stacks and stacks of dry wood under the freeway. What could possibly go wrong?
...it makes total sense to pile up so much fire load under a highway bridge... 🙈
I REMEMBER WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED IN ATLANTA@@Ponyreiter
Incredible! Only in Los Angeles would you have a pallet yard beneath major interstate highway systems along with homeless encapment surrounding the complex of fire...oh yeah with a fight in the middle of the highway 😒 ONSCENE TV awsome video capture! Thank you for capturing and sharing!
Who put them there
It's alarming to hear about the situation in Los Angeles. How do local authorities and organizations address the challenges of homelessness and safety in such complex environments? What measures are being taken to ensure the well-being of both the homeless population and the general public in these areas?
