LAFD Greater Alarm Fire: Abandoned Health Care Facility

8:40, what an awesome shot of the Firefighters and the ladder sticks as well as the fire itself. Awesome footage!!

Great job LAFD really like those trucks, they were setup perfectly. Surround and drown. Got the blue stuff on the red stuff! Great camera work.

[@tomatoes3]

Nice use of turntables, got some guts to go up that ladder to use that hose. Respect from the UK

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

I like the way LAFD’s vehicles are so clean. By that I mean, free of slogans, artwork, mottos, mascots etc. The same applies to the members’ headgear. As a comparison, some aspects of FDNY can look really shambolic and unprofessional.

[@cat275hp]

I can't believe how clean & shiny those trucks are! We always washed & waxed our trucks, but they would get dirty, dents, dings, and scratched up very fast! I guess the narrow pot-hole urban streets of the north-east really take their toll on the apparatus? We did get a lot of jobs too!

[@hihfty]

Thats what happens when theres 0 salt on the roads in the winter and hardly any rain! They get some serious longevity out of rigs out there.

[@dewman6379]

Ya these trucks that stay in the city usually stay really nice but if you would get a close up look at the type 3 engines that we use for wildland firefighting those things get lots of dents and scratches

[@chriswatson4641]

I spent a week with the LAFD a few years back. I was under the trucks with a brush along with the whole shift. Polishing a rig was a constant job.

[@davidraya8760]

@@hihfty I'm retired LAFD you are incorrect.... all engineers, apparatus operators and firefighters on Rescues and Staff Assistants take pride in their rigs. There safety checks every morning, cleaned daily major weekly checks and annual checks. I should also state we have two fire department auto shops one downtown and one in the San Fernando Valley and they do an outstanding job keeping the fleet first rate. Los Angeles County runs similar to us.

[@hihfty]

@@davidraya8760 Which is the absolute bare minimum that any department with pride does to there rigs. We all wax and maintain our fleets. But Its not even up for discussion that road salt in the north east states absolutely wreak havoc on rig maintenance and paint repair. In Boston during the winter after every call the truck has to be hosed off because the salt build up is so bad. Trucks in the rust belt states simply do not last or look as good as trucks in California.

Yea but I don’t understand why they don’t have pre piped waterways ?? Different places different flavors . And being the 2nd busiest doesn’t really mean much more than they run 98% medical calls and are busy with those more than fires. They do run a massive amount of calls but it’s a huge city . I’m sure it’s tuff at some of the busier houses . Stay safe brothers

[@medic1rn12]

I simply do not understand why LA City does not have pre-piped water pipes on their ladders. The manufacturing process allows for the pre-piped aerials that are not in the way when doing a rescue. BUT the 10 minutes it takes to set up master streams at an out of control fire is simply ridiculous. The fire fighters deserve the best equipment, the fire chief and city leaders need to fix this issue.

[@bradleypryor5586]

Question... Why are the ladder pipes not fixed? Is there an advantage that I'm not aware of? My department and departments around always have fixed ladder pipes as opposed to portable pipes.

[@funniedoug03]

Is there a reason the 2 trucks their setting up for master stream ops around the 3:00 mark are short jacked off the passenger side?

[@sinless74]

You could short jack on the side opposite to the fire building. I don't why they did because they had plenty of room to extend them. It's not like they setup the Aerial pipe that fast.

[@XHollisWood]

Impressive catch 🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒Thank you for sharing

[@310fire]

Thank you. Anytime

[@michaelberry2442]

I wonder why the ladder trucks are not pre set up with water canons , so when needed just run a hose to the truck & it's ready to go.

[@paser11385]

they are stuck in the stone age, they think ladder pipes work.

[@MrMarkcalland]

@@paser11385 ok know it all

[@Theacman55]

I just can’t figure out why Los Angeles has no tower ladders and only ladder trucks. Someone tell me I’d love to know

[@mrchow3233]

Not a FireFighter, but my opinion is that Los Angeles has very small streets. It needs a tiller operator, to maneuver in those narrow areas. That’s why it’s handy. Also having some tall buildings.

[@onthewater4189]

Several departments in Southern California did have have tower ladders, but got rid of them. They found that they lacked the versatility that ladder trucks have.

[@nphil93992]

@@onthewater4189 Fair enough, but could they at least buy pre plumbed ladders - setting up the master streams the manual way wastes time

[@VfRuckus]

LAFD have a policy of ignoring PASS? Do they not have a 1 button reset that takes 0.5 seconds to press?

[@maxhallman1036]

You just need to keep moving and it'll reset itself

[@paulsmith1348]

How much water are they pumping through those ladder hoses?

[@troyanderson1160]

Seems to take way to long to get lladders setup and water flowing. Not sure or understand why they do not have pre plumb sticks on ladder?

[@sportsjoe13]

What’s the point of wearing a PASS alarm if no one is going to react to them?

[@kellyj5389]

None of us ever react to them. OSHA required.... no one pays attention to them.

[@JaySmith-or3us]

@@kellyj5389 um no. You should be trained to react to them. When it goes off it’s treated seriously. You should be disciplined enough to catch it before it goes into “full alarm”. It’s laziness to ignore it. Also added stress.

[@lanegoodspeed5103]

I live in a small mountain town in NY State. It would be so brutal for a fire fighter on those ladders at - 20 degrees! We have 2 tower ladders that cost us a fortune but were deemed the best even though our streets are the pits to navigate in winter.

[@MichaelMcMahon1969]

I tend to believe that having members standing on top of the sticks is unnecessarily dangerous. That would have been more safely attacked using tower ladders. Having that deck to stand on, and being prepped, would be much safer, and quicker to get water on the fire.

Something I've never understood is why don't the LAFD have even a single tower ladder? They're so much more versatile for fires like this!

[@truryderz82]

I'm with you on this one. Platform tower will be better.

someone said they dont have those because the streets are to narrow for them..i dont get that.

[@ffjsb]

@@soccerboy22100 I'd understand if it were someplace like Boston or an old East Coast city, but LA doesn't really have a lot of narrow streets. And they should at LEAST have a pre-piped waterway on their tiller ladders. Platforms are easier to de rescue off of too. Wooden ladders, little 5" LDH... 1950 wants their firefighting equipment back...
