Iron keeps you out so you cannot get to fire in timely manner. Hoseman stretches assault line, engineer charges, still cutting iron to get in? hoseman, engineer stretch to ladder pipe (or gets the deck monitor set up) in the company for defensive fight you are going to have... Your pumper rolls a hose up and plugs you in from the hydrant they caught 2-3 blocks away. (relief because you are no longer on tank only) Defensive gets called, roof crew tumbles down and ladder goes up as you charge the either the tower pipe or monitor. Grab your tools and stow them, and stage for overhaul while filling the saw and changing blade. Soften building for access when you have to do overhaul... or save some safety ladders you threw up when things were still in attack mode. Grind, grind, grind and no one seems to appreciate you, but we do. Many of us know if it wasn't for you the whole city would be a burnt carbonized marshmallow. Keep doing what you do and stay safe and healthy.

[@faerieSAALE]

In that area - there is no telling what exactly was stored in those businesses and for what purposes. Old buildings with highly volatile flammables certainly were evident here. Every one of the Ladder Companies was doing their best to contain it and stop it. I SALUTE YOU and thank you all.

[@timothyreed8417]

Ladder pipes are used when fighting a fire in a defensive mode..the lafd started fighting this fire with an aggressive interior attack cutting through the doors to gain access to the interiors..latter they set up “ladder pipes” to contain the fire....when they had to pull back because of roof failure.....you don’t pour water on your firefighters when they are inside.

Hey mate great footage. Just wondering why most American firefighters don’t Don BA earlier? Here in Aus we are trained to don before attacking any fire to prevent cancer in the future. Is it something that isn’t pushed as much over there? It’s just hard to watch knowing some of these lads might have issues down the line…

[@equipment-enthusiast]

Great video work of the fire! I do have a couple of questions though; what is the difference between LF and TF on the truck companies and do they really don't have any trucks with pre piped water ways?

[@FB1ResponseVideos]

a light force consists of a truck and a 200-series engine, or what LAFD calls the "pump" (i.e. Truck 66 & Engine 266 = Light Force 66). the truck never goes anywhere alone (with the exception of Truck 9, heavy duty task force). the engine (in this example, Engine 66) runs calls alone but when the light force and engine are put together, they are now a task force (Task Force 66 = Truck 66, Engine 66, and Engine 266). as for the pre-piped water, that's correct. thanks for watching.

These fires that are hidden in walls or ceiling are dangerous. They can become supper heated and flashover can occur and put the firefighter in more danger. Good luck to Thr FDNY you are always in my prayers.

[@bennettdickmann1602]

Can’t see too well, but it seems like there is a simpler way of removing the bars on the doors. Chains tied to those security bars and those bars pulled by trucks is very effective and can happen fast. I admit, however, that I am not there. Easy to second-guess when I don’t know all the reasoning involved.

[@firevike2420]

Orientation of the windows and doors to the streets make that difficult to do safely in LA. Plus the apparatus priority is to either to drop lines and start supplying water, or set up for roof ops to vent. LAFD are the “Cutoff Saw Ninja’s”!!!

[@davidlenzi3551]

Another way thieves cost businesses. If the FD had access to the interior without having to cut through the security bars and gates entry would have been gained much sooner. Possibly saving much more of the structure.
