9/30/21 Massive 6 Alarm Fire

[@robinblitz5213]

Those guys earned their money on that fire stay safe

[@freeman2399]

Pump truck #159 almost bit the dust.

[@debrasopp6115]

The wind is really whipping those flames around 😳

[@MrBobity]

What a nightmare, cardboard, wind....

[@watchthe1369]

That one pumper was in a nasty little bind, I am glad I saw it later in the clip out of that alleyway.

[@eastbaykidd8574]

Seems that pallets are the perfect incendiary source, being wood and constructed with plenty of air space in them. Any county regulations for storing large numbers of these, either indoors or outdoors?

[@southlafirephotography]

Sweet vid! You scored on this one.

[@chrisbassett8996]

i never understand why people don't move vehicles as soon as they notice a fire

[@lesterawalt3184]

They don't move them because that is your once in a life time free way to get out from the car payments on a vehicle that you owe twice as much as its worth, So you leave it there and let insurance take care of it.

[@ffjsb]

Poor fire prevention is what caused this...

[@garybburchill570]

i thought at least they could have stopped it spreading.

[@redbug3777]

Super bad Fire! 🚒 🌊

[@georgehasler142]

[@Fishezzz]

"30/09/2021" for the rest of the world

[@fighterpilot5105]

Urban renovation...

[@red55chief]

It just bothers the heck out of me that professional firefighters are shooting their master streams into the air. Very picturesque but useless as far as fighting the fire is concerned. Firefighting 101: put the water on what is burning.

[@TheRonKlimo]

If you watch the whole video, and even the part where he is shooting the deck gun into the air, he is more than likely trying to keep flying embers knocked down. This fire got big fast due to the fire spreading from wind drive embers.

[@ffjsb]

@@TheRonKlimo The BEST way to prevent flying embers is to PUT THE FIRE OUT. Spraying a straight stream into flames is useless.

[@ffjsb]

@Rex Kuehner Why don't you take some of your ADD meds and try to repost without all caps...

[@isaacwangeci4251]

Let the firefighters do their job.they have trained and certified for that.

[@TheRonKlimo]

@@ffjsb and the best way to stop flying embers from starting other fires is to knock them down above the fire. This fire was way out of control very fast and early on. Sometimes you got to fight the fire AND prevent spread at the same time.

[@jeffskene42]

this looked like a good place to use Deluge 105

[@markbarone9634]

Did they try to lose an engine and a tiller? I never understand why these guys put more risk into a dangerous situation. PARK AWAY FROM WHAT IS BURNING! They make hose for a reason!!!

[@trvman1]

I was wondering if they lost that pumper too? I mean, you could see the fire advancing fast and no action to disconnect the lines and get the heck out of there.

[@jovinfoong]

Fireman working so slow

[@davidglaum2538]

What are you talking about have you ever had 40 pounds of gear on your back plus the turnout gear in hot weather?

[@logansaviation2586]

You a clown.

[@robertyoung3992]

If you can do any better(which I doubt) then shut up

[@isaacwangeci4251]

Blame the failure of what stated the fire not the firefighters

[@logansaviation2586]

@@isaacwangeci4251 Great way to put it.
