Firefighters Battle Intense House Fire In Long Beach

I fucken hate that so much! Ive seen people pull out their phone and just start filming a person trapped inside a burning car.... Instead of helping. I wouldve helped but thankfully someone went to help the woman and it was at an intersection. I called 911 immediately and then started to film for documentation purposes.... Not for social media.

Kiluanahugs he probably got told to because it was kinda in the way for the fire fighters, but I would do the same thing even if no one told me

[@burf4963]

Some drunk guy set the carport on fire in my mom's complex, and one of my neighbors ran out to move his truck. He said the heat was intense and it was starting to melt his bumper. My mom's car got torched along with a bunch of belongings, some with sentimental value. There were cars parked about 50 ft away that melted. The guy that set it only got a few months in jail because he came forward and admitted he did it.

[@alexanderdecker6630]

sword115 I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or serious. But technically you are correct, they are cutting ventilation holes in the roof because the fire, heat, and gases are trapped in the attic. Those holes improve conditions so inside crews can work to extinguish the fire.

What does venting the roof accomplish?

[@MD21037]

@@mlambert1974 , when performed properly, and in concert with a simultaneous, interior, fire attack; allows excess heat and smoke to escape from an enclosed structure. This benefits any trapped occupants inside, as well as, the attack crew with visibility, and exposes interior crews from less heat, as it's ventilated much of the radiant heat out the enclosed space (the same heat that contributes to Backdrafts and Flashovers). However, rooftop ventilation, is becoming ever-increasingly, more- dangerous, because of the kind of lightweight materials they currently use in the construction of modern-day, roof truss systems.

Richard Fernandez that’s not a lightweight truss roof.

[@richardfernandez8698]

FreeMongooose what makes you think it’s not? You could see the ends of the truss right under the roof line.

[@FreeMongooose]

Richard Fernandez it’s an early 20th century bungalow, those are rafter tails that you can see under the eave line. They are conventionally framed homes, not lightweight. Another telltale sign of a conventional roof is the skip sheathing that you can see when they pull back the roofing of their vent hole. If this was a lightweight roof, it would be sheathed with OSB or plywood. Skip sheathing (boards laid across the rafters with gaps in between) is usually 1-by material and holds up better under fire conditions than plywood or OSB. This is a pretty strong roof to operate on.

[@richardfernandez8698]

FreeMongooose you’re totally right. I stand corrected. Still think there were to many men on the roof though

Eyes and ears are irreplaceable, and if you retire deaf and blind, coz you think its pussy to protect those God given faculties, then all the best.
