California Fires: Bulldozers move cars during fires

Firefighters used a bulldozer to shove abandoned vehicles aside along Sunset Boulevard in the Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 7, as the Palisades fire tore through houses in the neighborhood. (310fire via Storyful)
California fires are wreaking havoc on Los Angeles as crews battle several massive blazes, including the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, Hurst Fire and Woodley Fire. Areas impacted include the Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena, Sylmar and parts of Ventura County.

That guy has the best job on the planet. He doesn't need anger management classes.

[@josephastier7421]

He is being very careful. Some of those cars contain gasoline, which could make the situation exponentially worse. So he just nudges them aside, resisting the urge to pick them up and throw them or arrange them in stacks and drive through them.

[@kevinedwards7206]

and the body shops are going ro have a bumper year.. And NO insurance company is going to cover " left in middle of rhe road, ran over by a bulldozer"..

[@akadjadikt]

That’s like the boss level version of the feeling the firefighter gets when the Mercedes parks in front of the fire hydrant and they gotta run the hose through the car

[@jackheris687]

I hate those people that park in front of fire hydrants.

[@josephastier7421]

You do what you have to do.

[@Elizabeth-xo9sn]

What’s wrong with you? Those cars were left to save the occupants lives. Young and old are trying escaping death. I don’t think the bulldozer driver is gleeful.

[@jonnyk6901]

You can't park there.

[@MyFlooded]

They didn't park there!! They were ordered by the police to abandon their cars in the traffic jam..

[@malcolmar]

Some of those cars are EVs, white Mercedes included. You damage that batty pack and the car goes into thermo runaway and you have a whole new set of problems making this situation like navigating a mine field. Much respect and appreciation to this bulldozer driver as well as to all the other first responders out there dealing with this mess.

[@bwarzewick]

proving EV isn’t the best solution

[@ANDREASRIAL]

No worries, the state will pay damages by another bill to the poor working class.

[@NeilGaede1]

Unfortunately, probably true. Bailout for hollywood.

[@zachfinemusic]

This is straight outta South Park

[@MrColedasice]

So what do you do for a living ? Guy in video : uhhh have you ever had an intrusive thought before ?

[@d100hemi]

So in an emergency they depend on diesel power? Lol got it!

[@FamiliaZamudio-k8d]

Don’t worry Gruesome wants to get rid of gas/diesel so they would have to plug in the dozer to charge the battery

[@TruthHurts2u]

Show me a D8 that runs on gasoline when it's NOT an emergency.

[@Alphakennabuddy]

​@FamiliaZamudio-k8d what if it's solar powered....

[@KenshinMadeit]

​What if you are braindead?​@Alphakennabuddy

[@AnonthonyMous]

Never seen anything like this.

[@buyerofsorts]

All thanks to Gavin Newsom. Dude has more excuses than an 8 year old.

[@angrybobrius]

BMW protest😢 1:30

[@jeffperkins1124]

Large Forklifts can move cars faster, with less damage.

[@MyFlooded]

But takes more time

[@northwestjuggernaut]

No it doesn’t

[@mikdog28]

I agree. What a mess

[@aquilifergroup]

They don’t care about damage and the used what they had at the time.

[@gfnp01]

You must have been one of the people who abandoned their car😂

[@mattbaca6641]

That is not helping

[@jimjab3631]

Guess no tow trucks

[@aquilifergroup]

Helped a lot. Did you see the gap that was created so fire trucks could get through. It helped a lot.

[@alonsogalindo1428]

Doesn’t anyone know what’s the closest cross street to this. I know it’s sunset but what is a cross street?

[@SayonaraCupcake]

It was Sunset and Palisades

[@newwavecarpenter]

Is that an electric bulldozer?

[@MyFlooded]

Turn your sound on LOL

[@germanyvids9836]

What? There was a open street one block over?

[@completemoney]

Feel like a fork lift tractor would’ve been more efficient give the forklift keys to those dudes that run the salvage lots

[@hendo337]

Why werent they using these dozers and inmate labor to clear fire breaks tbis entire time so this didn't happen?

[@jackheris687]

My machine is bigger than yours.

[@Turkishmen35YB]

Can I suck your machine 😏

[@chrisklest1238]

Why didn't people park on lawns?

[@rufixorg]

Because stupid.

[@Littleye2k2]

So these people are so rich they didn’t have a son or daughter cousin, auntie uncle to drive their BMW or Mercedes?!

[@MyFlooded]

You didn't understand anything!! The people were ordered by the police to leave their cars!!

[@Littleye2k2]

@ oh I didn’t hear that in the video

[@debbievianna7710]

What 😢

[@SpecWar71]

Its all good we all have insurance

[@michaelstewart2611]

No. Abandoned cars are not covered. Read the policy

[@20023230]

Typical US management. Like breaking car windows by fire men bc of the water pump. 😂

[@kennysponto6568]

Private citizens need drones for protection from the state that loves them

[@darsonfasolla2249]

Skuteczniej byłoby widlakiem szybciej i bez większych znidzczeń no cóż ameryka

[@DJCandiQ]

This is ridiculous

[@michaelstewart2611]

OMG...I want that job. Insurance won't cover any of this since they abandoned there car on a roadway...lmao Save the SMELT........morons

[@exynosexynos683]

🔥🔥🔥🏎️🏎️🚒🚒😮

[@hanson4035]

Just call tow trucks?

[@gi7892]

So you want to bring more people into a disaster area during a wildfire?

[@joyfullone3968]

They need the fire trucks to get through now!

[@jackheris687]

LOL LOL LOL

[@bwarzewick]

So when your house is burning and the bulldozer can either A: quickly bulldoze it out of the way or B: call a tow truck who probably won’t arrive for an hour in a time like this, then start putting the fire out A seems like the most logical answer but let’s hear yours

[@michaelnelson-o9m]

The fact they abandon their vehicles in the road why would you bring tow trucks up there they’re not gonna come up there you can see the fire in the background

[@DJCandiQ]

Why cant people come back and get thier cars? Im so sick of fire departments thinking its ok to act like criminals and ruin peoples properties.

[@JH-zo5gk]

It was the people that voted to keep the idiots in charge that caused all this. Those are the people that own those cars. I think they should be billed for abandoned cars and litter. These roads are needed by emergency personal. If you wanted your car back undamaged that badly then you should have been waiting in it when the dozer showed up.

[@gregroyat3541]

Open up roads for fire equipment

[@HerpDerpNV]

No one buys your troll account.

[@jackheris687]

Can't block the firefighters. So move your dumbass Tesla.

[@johnskibajr5691]

Because they do this all the time just for fun - really. The road needs to be cleared. If you have a better way to do it in an emergency situation, speak up.

[@bwofficial1776]

I hope the car owners send the bill to the fire department for damaging their cars. Do they not have tow trucks in LA, or even tow straps to yank cars out of the way? Smashing up someone's property is disrespectful.

[@gi7892]

Leaving your car in the middle of the road during an emergency is illegal.

[@HerpDerpNV]

Illegally parked car blocking an emergency scene. Trolling KZbin is disrespectful but you do it anyway.

[@jackheris687]

You cannot obstruct emergency vehicles. Bye bye cars.

[@MyFlooded]

​@@gi7892 They didn't park there! They were ordered by the police to abandon their cars in the traffic jam..

[@bwarzewick]

Ya they should send the bill for putting out the fires too huh.

[@DJCandiQ]

This Fire Department should be in trouble this is nuts

[@downeyfiredistrict1040]

Its easy to sit and arm chair quarter back, when you only see a small part of what is really going on. The road needed open right NOW people lives and property are at stake and they a worth a lot more than a few damaged vehicles.

[@HerpDerpNV]

No one buys your troll account.

[@kevinedwards7206]

are tou fkn crazy?

[@dbuc4671]

And letting this wildfire spread by not clearing the path for firetrucks to enter the area isn’t? Hmm?

[@DJCandiQ]

@dbuc4671 absoluty
