This was a clear-cut case for using a master stream. This wasn't just a car fire; this was the equivalent of a couple of small semi trucks going up with multiple exposures. Good for the LAFD for busting out the deck gun here - it knocked the fire down in under a minute.

Engineer had a supply coming, should have utilized the wagon battery a lot sooner. Managing his tank water before hand lines were open. Captain on wagon battery, firefighter on hydrant, other firefighter on hand line and engineer at panel. Additional companies are arriving. Exposers are a concern as well as power lines.
For those saying this is a good job, maybe for a volunteer department. This is one of the most professional FD's in the US and it took them just over 2 minutes to put water on the fire. It's amazing it didn't spread further. great filming as always.
Bet you're a volley who gets their rocks off on any chance to dump on a career dept. Looks like they had pressure issues in the first few min. Also the response time alone for these type of calls blows volleys out of the water so there's that. They'd still be in their pickup with blue lights on pulling out of their driveway when these guys are pulling a line.
Nick you’re wrong. First line should have been placed between the RV’s and the structure. They should have used the tank water, saving time, while the supply line was established. Nice job by the engineer placing the deck gun in operation. And that comes from 33 years of experience.
Thank you my Fire Buff Friend. Great shots at pre Arrival. The hand line ( Protect the exposure) then Deck gun. Great work by LA's finest. One Engine took control and contained it as Back up arrived.

That's scary. Im as former volunteer FF. And i actually live full time at a campground in a 32ft towable. I know most rvs and campers use propane for the HVAC water heater and stove. And some use propane as a coolant for the fridge/freezer units. But in transit you are not supposed to have full tanks on board but people forget so that's still a factor.
Those R V’s didn’t just start, appear’s they were an inferno for a long , long time! Look at how much total destruction was evident loons before F D finally showed up, despite the fact the smoke must have bee visible fo sseeveral miles! The roofs and sides of R V’s were down to near chassis by time F D showed up. Did they come from San Diego? And only 2 engines showed up initially,& this fiasco was in an industrial area, where were witnesses,& nothing happened to alert authorities of massive R V conflagration! Fire response was very poor!
I'd guess water. Had it been fuel, even if it were diesel, vapors would have probably flashed up long before then, and we see there's no fire in that immediate vicinity.
Are those civilians/bystanders helping to move the hose when E25 arrives? If so, kudos to them for stepping up instead of just standing there rubbernecking as people would have in many other places.
never understood why our fire engines here in the uk dont have the deck guns on them but then again here we have the high pressure reels that take seconds to reel out and get water on the fire
I never understood why we don't have hose reels on our rigs here where you could get some water on a fire in seconds while the rest of the guys wait until the place is burned to the ground before they get water on it. If you watch enough US fire videos, you'll see time and again a small fire that could be attacked upon arrival if they were so equipped that could be greatly mitigated while the hoses get up and running. It's infuriating. That deck gun was a great help in this case.
Here in the Czech Republic, we also use English DENNIS cars. I was a professional firefighter, and I drove this car to emergency situations. It's a great car.
It is baffling how long it takes to get a decent stream of water on a fire in these major metro areas. These fire departments have BILLIONS of dollars of equipment, lots of trained personnel and they roll up to fires and it's like watching the three stooges most of the time. Mass confusion. Not sure I've seen one of these videos where it appears a highly oiled machine is working. For those in the know, go ahead and blast away. Educate me on the ins and outs of fire fighting. I know what I would do - GET WATER ON THAT SUMBISH ASAP.
That’s easy, lack of planning and understaffed crews……… a decent fire engine crew should have a minimum of 4 firefighters, a driver and a crew leader (lieutenant, sergeant, etc) but barely they carry only 3 men doing the assignments of 5…….
Let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok the paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard great job great catches as usual keep them safe out there way to go ! Joe
Good thinking on the deck gun strategy, 2 RV fires that potentially have propane tanks and 2 automobiles next to them plus the building. When in doubt always better to go for the big lines!!!!!
I was up in LA a couple of weeks ago. I saw a few RVs in the valley that had caught fire that had been put out and people were still living in them. Granted they didn't burn as bad as these, but they were burned bad enough to where they no longer ran.
OMG…I’m sitting here laughing as by 3:00 minutes I’m thinking “I’d hit that with the deck gun”….30 seconds later …BOOM. Plus they stole the glory from E-25:) But the Captain should buy ice cream since he had to rummage around in too many compartments to find what he needed😂
Watched some videos lately explaining how rent has become so high many are now living in rvs on the streets. Guessing this was 2 people's homes they didn't want to lose.
Can anyone advise what engine 25 was doing upon arrival hooking a 5" line into 17? Was 17 going to pump to 25? Wouldn't 25 want to secure their own water source/hydrant?
Sometimes if your hydrant doesn't have good pressure or you're a long distance from the hydrant you hook in another truck to boost the water pressure and cause less strain on you trucks pumps.
01:50 why is there smoke coming from that car? I would think it was from the heat but all the other vehicles, particularly that Camry parked bumper to bumper with the first RV, aren't burning.
This is why you never use extension cords! they get way to hot. another thing never leave a Motorhome unattended for more then 15 mins running with anything plugged in.

I feel for the homeless people but looking at the closest RV you can see a funnel in the gas tank just sitting there. Great job by the fire fighters! The US really needs to deal with the homelessness in California though, it's a tragedy!
The Homeless have mismanaged their lives. The very first thing is to learn the "Responsibilities of Adult Living". Life is the Hardest most Painful thing that will ever happen to any of us. The best that we can hope for is to "Die in our sleep". The hardest part of life is being ridiculed for 50 years for working hard and being responsible only to have your success reduced to "You got Lucky". I'm not where I am because I got lucky. I'm where I'm at because I kept getting up no matter how shitty life was. Nobody cares if you're happy, only if you can meet your responsibilities.
Can someone tell me why it takes so long to actually get water on the fire. I also watch a lot of videos recorded in Europe and it seems that they are much faster there and why the environment is not cooled, that can prevent a lot of damage.
A lot of guys are afraid of running out of water when using the tank water --in this instance they waited on the supply line to be charged --not sure why
I had a boyfriend about 30 yrs ago who hated firemen. Called them nozzle nuts and mocked them every time he saw them. Dont ask me why his hatred, i guess he was one of those ppl who hated everyone but himself. I just hope the ahole had an dire emergency and needed their assistance. Maybe he would change his mind.

That's a fantastic engineer. Got a water sorce, got them line stretched, got deck gun to kick ass. Well done!
Deck guns are under utilized. Nice work.
only if you have a hydrant, will suck a tank dry in a minute
Pull up to the fire. Tank to pump and deck gun it with the water carried on the pump while the next pump in lays a line from the plug.
If emptying the tank with the deck gun won't put the fire out, emptying it with a handline won't either.

The best that we can hope for is to "Die in our sleep". The hardest part of life is being ridiculed for 50 years for working hard and being responsible only to have your success reduced to "You got Lucky". I'm not where I am because I got lucky. I'm where I'm at because I kept getting up no matter how shitty life was. Nobody cares if you're happy, only if you can meet your responsibilities.
Can someone tell me why it takes so long to actually get water on the fire. I also watch a lot of videos recorded in Europe and it seems that they are much faster there and why the environment is not cooled, that can prevent a lot of damage.
Lazy union firefighters in the USA
@@bertblue9683 No, this was just a bad showing. Don't lump the rest of us union guys in on this.
Fair enough, my apologies for lumping a large group into the mix of these few bad apples here.
A lot of guys are afraid of running out of water when using the tank water --in this instance they waited on the supply line to be charged --not sure why
Thank you for all the answers, I am really puzzled about this.
In the words of FENTON You guys gonna get some water on that anytime soon!!?
Before the haters step in, just Google how much a fully charge 5 inch LDH weighs.
I had a boyfriend about 30 yrs ago who hated firemen. Called them nozzle nuts and mocked them every time he saw them. Dont ask me why his hatred, i guess he was one of those ppl who hated everyone but himself. I just hope the ahole had an dire emergency and needed their assistance. Maybe he would change his mind.
0:56 The grille on the RV looks like an American flag.
The only thing I think should have been done is get water to the nozzle while hooking up to the water source. This way you get water on fire faster.
Surprised how engine 17 was using the deck gun while the hand lines were used
There's plenty of water and pressure. Most engines are capable of at least 1000 gpm. Deck gun is 350 and handline would have been around 125
Why was it "surprising"?
You seem to be in a constant state of confusion.
@@virgilhilts3924 because the fire department was able to find a fire hydrant which is their water supply and was able to put the fire out
@@connorcosgrove2240
Again why was it "surprising"?
Deck guns are very underutilized and toucan knock downs fire fast😊
What agency does the unit at 1:38 belong to?
No idea
Looked like General Services Division Police.
Which is Security / Police for Federal buildings and property.
@@jonhaskins617 Is that the same as Federal Protective Service?
That is the DHS Police
@@jonhaskins617 general services for the city of La police were absorbed by LAPD
That firefighter with the first hose line didn’t look all that great though.
That’s some nice footage 👍
Love that deck gun.
