LAFD Battling Greater Alarm Structure Fire: Textile Warehouse (Station 9)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to the 800 block of south San Pedro Street for a reported structure fire. First arriving units found single story commercial building with fire showing through the roof. Firefighters took a defensive posture to battle the blaze. At least three units in a 150' by 100' one story of commercial businesses were involved. Dense interior storage made the fire very stubborn and difficult for firefighters to get a handle on the blaze. It took 117 firefighters an hour and 14 minutes to extinguish the bulk of the fire. Overhaul lasted well into the night and into the next morning as units from all over the city were called in for fire watch. The next morning had a situation where people were attempting to steal remnants of the the destroyed building and even equipment off the fire apparatus. LAPD was dispatched to handle that situation. No injuries were reported. The cause remains under investigation.

rotary saws always make these videos so much better.....
Saving the graffiti. They should just let it burn to the ground to keep all the homeless out of the Burt up ruins. Go Gavin Newsome you’re the best, what would CA be without you? God bless those firefighters excellent job.
I would never bash fire fighters. They should be respected for what they do, but when it comes to fighting huge multiple alarm fires, the FDNYC boys are the experts.
Yes they are I am surprised they didn’t have a few Tower Ladders operating
There's the experts. The fire went out right.
Really?
Nice catch, & excellent audio, & video quality 😀👍👍 Thanks for the video, & the channel. Keep up the good work. Excellent job LAFD 🚒
It's pretty tough to fight a large fire and trying to keep the "natives" from stealing equipment off your apparatus all in one night.
👍👍🚨🚒🧑🚒
Hey, I'm french and I'd like to learn more about US firefighters, I was wondering in what consist a "Greater Alarm"
Why on earth are those fire fighters carrying their air bottles and don't mask up? Oops, forgot, masking up is not cool.
Wow!!!! Finally station 9 got a structure fire call! compared to having most medical calls inside skid row
It always amazes me when fire departments allow random civilians in the hot zone. That would never happen where I am, as it's an epically BAD idea. Of course LA still doesn't have waterways on their ladders so they're still kinda in the 1950's on some things.
Expert
@@jimmccabe801 Well with 40 years on the job, and a major in Fire Science, yeah, I pretty much am an expert. Prove me wrong or STFU.
Do you mean tower trucks or ladder trucks that are pre plumbed for water?
Random civilians, taking pictures? They are media…
@@timothyreed8417 Either, and even the media has NO right to be in the hot zone.
@@ffjsb it is a first amendment issue…as long as they don’t interfere with firefighters they have a right to be there. If it was labeled a crime scene then they couldn’t cross the tape…
and pre-plumbed water ways are a maintenance issue…
a new class is forming up…can you qualify?
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁LION c LIKE No. 304
It has the look of a fire sale. 🧐
Thanks for your work documenting this.
0:51 is that truck 9? The same company that was involved in that huge fire in May 2020? The one with the big flash over/explosion?
Yes they where
Thought so
Great footage I hope there were no injuries stay safe.
Wow! Great video… Excellent job filming. Plus it’s nice to see 9’s get something besides a bunch of medicals. 😏
Yup I agree
Quick question. Was there any reason why lafd changed their helmets???
german in venice was talking about this the day of the fire, but this is way better you got the action front and personal. did they ever figure if it was arson or soemthing else?
Great coverage I am curious to why they don’t go with a tower ladder operation with this amount of fire like the FDNY does.
Ok, this is the fire from the other day that was reported on the news. I was waiting for someone on the ground to cover the action. Thanks 90210Firebuff
I only saw one latter truck being used ,was there any other there being used or not .
East Coast fire depts. could learn alot from watching this video. 1). When you arrive go directly to putting the wet Stuff on the red stuff. You don’t need to have a prolonged conference before you start. You are there to put out a fire not reinvent the wheel. And waiting till the building has almost burned to the ground is not an aggressive attack. 3) For god sakes get dressed while en route . You are going to put out a fire , you can’t be that surprised to find a burning building.
That final shot was superb!
Great video. Its a shame people feel the awful need to steal othrrs property. Stay safe...🤗🤗
8:30: Now THIS is a state - of - the - Art radio unit!
Nice work!!
Great video & great job by LA FD.
I’m not a firefighter but I think it’s in bad taste to try to interview a firefighter while he’s trying to work in such a stressful environment. Get your footage and be happy they let you that close. No need to ask questions while they are focusing on their work.
I think the fire fighter handled it great just ignore the camera jockey
❤❤❤yes, all work safe.
Nice coverage
Great video!
first
I REALLY don't get it... The fire is on the floor. So where do they point their streams? Through the roof!
Heat rises. Fire goes up. It can set everything above on fire.
Pointing streams upwards helps cool the atmosphere, as well as stop fire spread.
And was already in the roof space.
They had to point streams upwards.
@@gordonkeane6298 then narrow con fog would have been much more effective. They were shooting their streams straight up and out which does nothing.
@@gordonkeane6298 plus hitting the seat of the fire stops it from rising...
No film was used. You recorded this on electronic media, not the stuff with the holes down the side.
Ok and?
Why don’t they call in for a water drop to put out these large fires?
You don't do water drops in urban areas. Too risky for the firefighters. You can't even stream your ladder pipes when you have crews close, and they have crews on the roof
@@jmWhyMe I know but you could clear firefighters and do 1 drop and save a lot of time and resources.
@@scottgoldrealestate I'm not a professional firefighter, IAFF member etc, so I won't argue with you, but it just isn't done, and it wouldn't really be all that effective anyway. You are talking only a couple thousand gallons of water. All those big hoses are delivering more than that every minute, INTO instead of on top of the building
@@scottgoldrealestate 1 Water drop = 500 to 1000 gallons in 1 drop. 1 Master stream = 1000 Gallons Per a minute. A water drop is useless.
Why not use Tower Ladders like the FDNY does?
Sad to see those CLOWN helmets !
