LAFD Greater Alarm: Station 57 (Manchester Square)

The Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to a reported structure fire at the intersection of w 82nd St & Western Ave. Light Force 66 was first on scene reporting a one story 50’ x 150’ commercial well involved. Truck 66 requested one additional task force.
Truck 66 & Engine 33 (24hr move up to 57s) immediately went defensive setting up heavy streams. Battalion 13 arrived on scene and assumed Western IC with Truck 66 captain taking division A. Light Force 33 opened up exposures around the structure along with Truck 21 & Squad 21.
A portion of the structure eventually collapsed as members were in safe defensive posture. Knockdown was called in 53 minutes.

Man, I've been retired over 20 years but this really got me going. Wonderful work by this first alarm group. Made me remember just how much I loved "the job". Stay safe brothers.

I agree buddy , I would do another 30 years on the job in a heartbeat, kind regards from across the pond

[@stanboi3598]

I gotta say when I watched E33 roll up and get to work with the Engineer yelling 'water on' I had a flashback to the eighties of doing the same. compared to a lot of other fire services it is so refreshing to see LAFD crews hustle together to get water on the beast as a priority. well done to everyone involved.

It’s adds length to the ladder so when you get rid of the water pipe you can shorten the bedded length of the ladder for an overall shorter truck.

I was brand new employee and I was taken in the middle of the nite to a on ramp blocked off and I was left there and told To let no one enter. I said ok. The superintendent yelled at me You understand, NO ONE IS ALLOWED To go thru. Ok ok I said. So he leaves me There all alone all dark. Me and some barricades About 15 min later a big giant fire truck comes up and says “Can we go thru?” I say “you look important” The driver laughed And move the barricades The truck said LOS ANGELES CITY FIRE On the door

[@nebraskaninkansas347]

In this case its defensive and a large fire. So using the deck guns and larger diameter hoses allow them to put huge volumes of water quickly on the fire. They aren't moving the hoses much so you can use that size. As well as their main concern now is exposure protection as the fire building is a total loss. So lots of water allows them to help keep the fire contained to that building.
