Huntington Park fire station catches fire

[@robertbroughton1443]

It just goes to show that even fire stations aren't immune to catching fire.

[@martinc.720]

Does it? Wow

[@thebigmon]

Who is stationed there? Fire Marshall Bill?

[@jessicawagers2321]

A fire station catches on fire??? WOW!!

[@lcfflc3887]

Well yeah that doesn't look good on them.

[@Stargazzer811]

Happens more than you might think. Same with apparatus crashes.

[@the.warrior]

Now they have to call the firefighters.

[@reformriverside3053]

Do fire stations have smoke detectors or something in the apparatus bays?

[@jaytee2642]

I want to hear the reaction from dispatch when that was called in.... Excuse me??? You're reporting a fire WHERE????😳

[@luisgordillo1695]

LOL, I just posted a similar comment on FB a few days ago and everyone started singing the song line for line 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@smal1393]

Given the value of the equipment, I am a little surprised they do not have sprinklers in the fire station, or at least the apparatus bay.

[@wilson4180]

Hahahah you’re funny. There’s currently fire stations in operation built before the invention of electricity, plumbing, and HVAC and have one set of stairs that is as step of climb as Mount Everest.

[@smal1393]

@@wilson4180 Ever hear of 'retrofit'? It is done all the time, even to old and historic buildings. In my community, following a tragic fire, all apartments over 5 units require sprinklers, regardless of the age of the building. After an earthquake, all commercial buildings had to meet seismic standards, regardless of when the building was built. Both were accomplished through retrofitting the structures. Have a good one!

[@pzm958]

@@wilson4180 Right. Most home remodels in many areas that are extensive enough are required to install sprinklers. Most all old commercial buildings are required to retrofit before a new tenant can get a license to occupy.... but not the FD??? SMH

[@wilson4180]

@@pzm958 fire stations renovating requires approval of the taxpayers. It’s a process that starts with a proposal, funding, city council, and voting. On top of finding a company who can do through a certified bid list. This is why a lot of fire stations in the USA are in need of renovations.

instead of fire sprinklers, they used the money for Newson's hair gel.

[@Jrad117]

Most ironic thing I’ve ever heard.

[@SFClark]

Potentially, an electrical fire in one of the apparatus.

[@emvvehicles_8]

It was Engine 164 from what I heard

[@NealB123]

Modern fire trucks are filled with lithium-ion batteries. Portable radios, flashlights, ventilation fans, portable scene lighting and a wide array of hand-held power tools -- all powered by LI-ION batteries. Not saying that's the cause, but when those things fail they fail hard and fast.

[@SocialistDistancing]

And now a large German fire station burned. Caused by electric fire apparatus. Notice that you can't find anything on KZbin about it. I said that those vehicles were going to burn down the station and all the equipment, and now it has happened.

[@FernyB58]

Damn that fire station has been there for the longest its older than I am

[@thedisabledchef2159]

This isn't an uncommon occurrence, however, it hurts on multiple levels

[@HD-TV96]

They aint slick they wanted a new station😂

[@IntriguedLioness]

Snarky comments. Fire departments exists to save lives, to save properties and help people in times of need. This looks like a serious fire, not a slight kitchen fire but possibly with the engines. I am glad that, so far, there are no reports of injuries and I wish only the best for all the firefighters.

[@stuzworldz]

SNARKY here have a awaed for being so kind...

[@carla68]

Dale Gribble did that once, as I recall.

[@coreyverrett8117]

Rusty Shackleford did it

Wieeeeerrddd fire station sprinklers didn't go off and no fire alarm,smoke alarms????!!!!!

sorry i had to say it, "somebody taking working from home to another level" no pun intended

[@Mc007-]

I was an Explore scout at 164s in the 80s

[@apv5774]

Damn. Just thus year someone was killed a few feet away.

[@dchawk81]

Did an emissions engine regen and catch fire? Happens with semis.

[@derrickguffey4775]

Wow wonder how that happened? Strange place to have to deal with a fire.

[@spallax5777]

When Roland replied at 1:27 "Not at all, the arson investigators, or rather fire investigators..." I was shocked for a second.😯

[@LeSamMan]

How was the response time? Probably need to increase funding to them to improve the response time.

[@patrickcannell2258]

Electric fire truck?

[@dkchannel1167]

At least there was a fire station nearby.

[@sturmovik1274]

I remember an old story from the 1970s about New York City firefighters who responded to a fire and left food cooking on their station stove...

[@billboyd9028]

Were the running any EV's in their fleet? That'd be my first question....

[@emvvehicles_8]

That’s LAFD running EV’s, no EV’s are on order for LACoFD right now, the cause of the fire was likely an electrical failure from engine 164 which happens to be a diesel unit

[@gobanito]

This is like saying “Police station gets robbed.” 😆😆😆😆

[@Stargazzer811]

Irony is that's happened too so.

[@DanielOrtegoUSA]

Was it an RTX rig that spontaneously caught fire? 🤷‍♂️

[@Stargazzer811]

LACoFD doesn't have any RTXs, KME's and some Pierces only. By all accounts they are thinking Engine 164 caught fire, possibly electrical.

[@raycosman824]

Didn’t they check the alarm batteries?

[@TriangleEscape]

Someone must have left their Alamo beer sign plugged in...

[@BobbyBusiness]

"Fact. Volunteer firemen receive sirens for their personal vehicles. Fact. And we can use them whenever we want. Fact!"

No wonder the helicopter was up and about this morning

[@cheekyoziechick]

No building is safe.

[@elizabethcherry920]

I am wondering if this station had an electric powered fire engine, I saw a video of the fire, and the last bay looked like it was shooting flames towards the other 2 bays. I am that no one got killed

[@AAFBNC]

NO!

[@mazyata9958]

Yup a legit fire in a fire station in California. You know everything is honest there!

[@fnln544]

[@sturmovik1274]

I remember an old story from the 1970s about an FDNY company that went to a fire and left food cooking on their stove... They got called back, had to do a full attack into their own kitchen and they said they attacked that fire harder than any other they ever fought. Sheer panic. They knew they were already doomed to be known for eternity as the asshats who set their own station on fire; if one guy from one other company got one foot in the door before they controlled it, they'd be the asshats who set their own station on fire and then couldn't put it out themselves.

Fire station had no Smoke detectors!!! Fire was raging for awhile before the firemen were awaken by a Good Samaritan who banged on the door to the station!!!!

There are only 3 or 5 per truck. They don't necessarily need the truck but they need the manpower from that truck...

[@SteveWilliams-zp1vg]

Saving the foundation

[@Stargazzer811]

If you look the building is still there. In fact its largely salvageable too. Tear off the roof, gut the interior, pull up the bay floor, and then pour a new floor, put on a new roof and rebuild the inside and it's good to go. You'll never get the smoke smell out, it's a fire station after all.
