One serious question. Once they got the water flowing which was from the Booster Tank the why didn't the Engineer hook the Engine up to the Hydrant which was only a few more feet from the Engine.? They already had water flowing but it is important to havea positive source of water ASAP.
I am amazed at some of the big city fd.'s attitudes about scba. I know many volunteer Fd's who had mandatory mask up policies unless it was a brush fire call including the one I was on.
@@briansmyla8696 Probably not. His claim for occupational cancer will be shot down by the city and they will use these videos to back the denial. If you don't use the protective equipment you're provided, your cancer treatment is on you.
I almost gave this a thumbs down just because not a one of them have air pack's on. Don't they teach you to use proper protective gear? I can assure anyone watching, that is some really nasty smoke and can't be any good for their health (5 years riding the trucks in Houston on 2 different shifts). Yes the wires involved are likely phone lines or cable lines or both. Now both can carry a small current, but it is not enough as a general rule to hurt a fire fighter. If you call this in as power lines, the power guys are going to come out and then get seriously PO'd that they were called out for phone/cable lines. The different folk that work the lines DO NOT get along and usually don't want to be working together. It is not hard to determine which type of line you are looking at. Power is up top, for a reason - it's dangerous! There is an non-insulated wire below the lowest power line. This is neutral and is tied to ground. It is used a third conductor on the lower voltage lines, for example to get two 120's from a single 240 feed for houses. Cable and phone lines will normally be below the neutral wire. Round wire is likely cable. Flat or oblong cable is more likely telephone. In residential areas, the upper most power lines are often running 15,500 or higher voltage. This will turn you into a pile of ashes before you can say "Oh Shit". Drops from the top to local house/building feeds will at some point have a fuse, sometimes called a door (fuse not blown and arm/door closed - current can flow, fuse blown, arm/door hanging down - door is open, current will not flow. In my current neighborhood, the older lower arial power lines are not used because the area has been re-done with mostly underground lines. So we have groups of ground/pad mounted transformers, fed by a single wire set that is fed by only one of the top phases. I live on a block with a large number of duplexes. Each pair of duplexes connect to a pedestal and each transformer supplies up to 6 pedestals. This block has 8 pad mounted transformers off of a single feed with an auto re-closer on it's door. This device will attempt to re-close the door a certain number of times and if it continues blowing, it will stop after a while. That way if a storm has left a tree limb across multiple upper wires, it won't re-try constantly. We had a news story once back when stealing copper wires was a big thing. The power company got an alarm at one of it's sub-stations. Knowing about the wire thefts, they sent PD out first.. Sure enough the officers got there in time to see actor #2, dragging the still smoldering body of his buddy outside the fence area. Actor#1 made the mistake of trying to remove the copper ground wire from an active 138KV circuit and became the path to ground, for a moment.
Nice description of what wires do what and the location of each. However, you failed to mention that the neutral is designed to carry the differentiating voltage and is therefore carrying voltage in itself.
Yeah i was thinking the same thing. Where are their air bottles. I'm sure their BC would not be very happy. Stoopid Lapd didn't block traffic. I don't know who that vehicle was on the otherside. But that didn't appear to be DOT
Sad Culture complacency! No, SCBA’s! Do, that during your academy time, and they will “FAIL” you!!! Please, challenge me if wrong! 31year Retired Veteran Fire Captain enjoying Retirement, because I wore mine!
The smoke blowing away from the firefighters no real need for ba out in the open they did a really good job knocking the fire down
0:37 walking into that smoke i supersmart, can be toxic and lethal with one breath
From a long time ago Firefighter. ALL FIRES ARE DANGEROUS.
dudes at the end like, "where's sheryl staying now....? not with me"
Mask up!
"dangerous" Looks more like phone and TV cables no power lines.
Terimakasih, dari Indonesia ❤
Come on, put on a BA!!!
Out of curiosity. I've watched several videos and I don't see anyone wearing a scba Why I wonder?

This isn't a structure fire with an interior attack team. Chillax. Foam & tank water should be plenty.
Aside from the buildings at risk, that was a homeless camp problem solving itself.
The area smells better now

the lines at the top are power lines. the lines below are communication, telephone, fiber. some is not going to get their internet/tv!
I think it's great that they designated Hollywood as a National Park. I see some of the tourists camping in this video.
Plenty of fire for everyone 🔥.
Wow, great video, well done!
Dangerous fire, but yet the nozzle man doesn't even have a pack on smh
Yup, and he's going to claim disability and double dip after retirement.
@@briansmyla8696 if he makes it

Scba?
Enjoy your videos. Gave a like and I sub'd you. Good footage and coverage.
Very well trained.
No, very poorly trained. If they were well trined they would have airsets on.
Hope they had insurance 😅

That's because he talking out of his arse
Wow! What a narrative.

Well it ain’t the recorders fault that the firefighters have any air packs on. No need to dislike for that if it ain’t his fault
They need to get those people out of the car
These poor firefighters having to constantly put out these trash fires.
Job security. Something different than constantly running EMS.
Must stink literally and figuratively
LA is nothing but a big dumpster so....
@Dacarwhizz If the crew had their scba masks on, they wouldn't have to smell it. It's like these WANT to get brain and lung cancer.
I hope they were able to get their drugs out in time.
Telecom companies will have to come replace the lowest wires on the poles, hydro is at the top
Hydro means water... SMH.
What's a "dangerous fire" FFS?
tent city
Embarrassment. So third-world.
I'm learn Firefighterjob in Germany I see the Firefighter work very good and take his Job there .Teamwork with Firefiighters is very important
Don't learn from Los Angeles...
Hat da ne Pennerbude gebrant 🧐
Parked a bit too close 27
Where the hell is their BA? That's pretty stupid.
You don't need SCBAs for a little outdoor fire. Don't be ridiculous.
lets go brandon
I think the WOKE community needs to step up and provide relocation assistance to the poor street people that are having to endure this tragedy.
Define Woke

Just another trash fire
And the liberals take up for this mess !
And the conservatives want to demonize them
Guys arent even wearing respirators. God only knows wtf is burning in that homeless encampment
come on homeless want to have a BBQ for everybody WTF
