LAFD Pickup Truck Fire Exposing Garage: FS72 (Woodland Hills)

[@AllenPortman]

Watching the firefighter stretching/pulling the initial line I felt like I was doing my annual fit-for-duty evaluation 🤣🤣🤣

[@jelracer98]

I'll pass you my. You done great

[@soonerstatefirephotography]

Awesome footage! Capt did a good job with what seem to be inexperienced firefighters. Gotta love the genius driving a burning car through a fire scene 😂

[@bobvidoni5898]

Well, he saw it done in a Jason Bourne movie during one of the car chases and wanted to try it out for himself????

[@bondservantministriesinc.672]

This was an amazing catch Sir! Thank you for this one!!!!

[@kirbythompson8032]

Thanks!

[@dbriggs1213]

The way the firefighter knocked the Fire Extinguisher down so he could get by. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I choked on my coffee.

[@kirbythompson8032]

Outstanding video! Thanks!

[@rd4660]

That was a long hose pull! Nice little aerobic exercise for the FF.

[@surfer390111]

For real…that must be a puck that had to be 250-300 ft

[@Token_Civilian]

1st nozzle guy sure seemed like he knocked it down pretty well. Especially in the garage before access was cut. Seems like he kept it from going completely up until better access to the seat of the fire could be obtained. Glad it wasn't an EV with the flamethrower once the battery goes into thermal runaway. Well done to all the responding crews that quickly halted the spread.

[@mickyparker3949]

Sorry for the people and owners, good filming. Much better than the media lot so repetitive as usual. Well done showing the fire crews doing their best in the harsh conditions.

[@aleks9677]

This was before the LA City wildfires.

[@crashdodgers]

I have watch a lot of videos involving US firefighters, but this one has to be the best that I have ever seen, OK, they where a little slow in get water on to the pickup truck, but they did keep the fire from gaining control and do all that in just 20 minutes with out the need for more three engines has to be a record in it self. As I said I have watch a of lot of US firefighting videos, so I expected to see dozens of firefighters standing around doing nothing, but this team had two firefighter's tackling the fire and one in charge and three or four extra on the roof of the garage working, all in all great work by all the firefighter's on this call.

[@AllenPortman]

I know a captain has. their hands full prioritizing tactical operations on these calls but forget about the truck after knocking it down focus on the exposed structure that is quickly becoming a much larger problem. Get a truck company or whoever to get in open up structure --the truck is a write-off it is history! But overall you guys did a great job getting lines stretched and water flowing on the fire!!! A.Portman retired firefighter (captain)

[@MPWEST83]

Thank you for your service, sir🫡❤

[@bondservantministriesinc.672]

If you listen carefully to the radio in the background, the Captain called for a structure response right after the nozzle man let loose on the fire. Which is the reason he asked for a second line. I think you both were on the same page. Retiring from LA. Co. I’m not normally supportive of City!😂😂

[@freddykagin]

Keep up the Great work LAFD and Rescue.

[@ffjsb]

Great????

[@OpporTUNAtySportfishing]

These new guys don’t realize it’s protect the exposures first which is the structure that is on fire. Very little experience here is obvious as they should have backed down that long driveway. Also lack of assistance too during this unprecedented fire siege. I give them a 3.9.

[@BallardBaller]

This was just a warmup before the big game

[@chrisshaw1964]

Are you trying to burn the house down? I thought you guys did this shit for a living...wasting water and time on a burned out truck body, while flames are are burning through the soffit? WTF?

[@kevinharvick4ever]

Are you gonna do a compilation of the pacific palisades fire

[@90210FireBuff]

@kevinharvick4ever that is coming...and more. Stay tuned

[@BZE-dt6di]

I see this video and I no longer wonder why half of LA is on fire. Laurel and Hardy in action.

[@timothyreed8417]

And you could do better i suppose?

[@edwinleepowell477]

Damn, four days later, the whole cities is on fire and where is the water? Anybody got some water?

[@jelracer98]

Great job. That baby was cooking

[@sccz13]

Was the second car extinguished?

[@avontaprice2]

do they know what started the 🔥 or 🚫?????🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@AllenPortman]

There is a camera on the structure pointing directly at the pickup truck maybe fire investigators can retrieve video files on exactly what transpired regarding origin?

[@alkennedy1124]

This was a scam,they tried to get the truck insurance, this was a scam, no fire around the whole area ,and if you investigate you’ll see they started the fire park the truck next to a trashcan or something my back garage and started the fire get insurance, hats what it looks like to us ,as we are looking at the whole thing from a far, BigAl California thanks

[@donovanlawerence2595]

I don't understand why they didn't drive the engine down the alley to the fire and set up there rather than run the hose down the alley 400 feet.

[@AndrewTa530]

Insurance job?

[@ffjsb]

Why the hell would that be an insurance job??? You watch too much TV....

[@محمدالشمري-ز6ب]

ولماذ لم نستوعب ان هاذا بركان ارواح اطفال غزه.

[@Munter247]

Drive down the alley? Just a thought

[@sebastianmerv]

To tight to pull other lines and not good to be trapped in. Also then farther away from the hydrant

[@ffjsb]

@@sebastianmerv If you can't pull the line, then you need to go back to fire school. And you can drop a supply line at the end of the alley so another engine can supply you. This is BASIC firefighting skills... SMH

[@mb.4]

@@ffjsbshut up keyboard firefighter😂

[@RabbahDocRona]

There was absolutely no need for the truck to destroy the roof. The garage fire was already knocked down. They should have focused on forcing entry!

[@timothyreed8417]

A small hole was cut into the roof to check for extension…where do you see them destroying the roof?

[@RabbahDocRona]

@timothyreed8417 any roof cut was unnecessary

[@timothyreed8417]

@ and you could tell from this video, that there wasn’t any extension into the roof… no unseen embers hiding away….

[@pudster4115]

The reason they do what they do is because they didn't do it before. Not everyone one has x-ray/thermo eyes like you. I would of opened it to check for extension and prevent a re-kindle.

[@pudster4115]

and oh yeah...ventilation

[@nrakma]

Did the firefighters not know they were going to a fire? Why did they waste so much time putting on and adjusting their scba’s while watching the fire burn more and more. And I thought putting H20 on a fire quickly was the goal of lafd. Or is that against union rules?

[@ffjsb]

LA has that stupid rule that they can't have SCBA in the cabs, they have to carry them in outside compartments...

[@jayg4243]

Officer of the engine had no TIC,no hand tools and waist strap not buckled on his scba

[@timothyreed8417]

@@jayg4243 the Captain is a supervisor not a worker

[@jayg4243]

@timothyreed8417 I was a Captain on a busy Engine company for many years I carried a TIC to do a 360 and I carried a haligan tool if I needed a tool for something

In some situations they can use foam to help put out a fire 🔥 along with water 💦

[@ffjsb]

If they have it....

[@dw4861]

Where are the women fire fighters!? All these pictures of firemen and no women! Can we please see a woman pulling 150 lbs of fire hose! I'm supposed to put my life in the hands of a woman fire fighter? Women don't even have enough hand strength to open a jar of pickles. Insane!

[@Christ-r7n]

Top Video 🎉

[@DerrickW8762]

OMG

[@patstiff]

Screw the truck, get that hose stream on the structure!

[@Tkarp100]

So LAFD. They still don’t drive into alleys and instead start a 400 ft hose lay.

[@ffjsb]

That was so stupid...

[@snoozeflu]

They parked the truck where it is because that's where the hydrant is.

[@ffjsb]

@@snoozeflu Guess you've never heard of supply hose...

[@snoozeflu]

@ffjsb either way they are going to have to roll out a hose. If they pull the truck down the alley they will have to run a hose from the truck all the way back to the hydrant. If they leave the truck in the street they will have to string out a hose just like they did in the video.

[@ffjsb]

@@snoozeflu They don't have to lay from the hydrant, all they have to do is lay from the end of the alley, and the next engine can supply them from there. Then the ladder comes in from the other direction so they have their crew and equipment right there. This is BASIC firefighting skills..

[@ffjsb]

WTF wouldn't you drive the engine down the alley TO the fire???? SMH. You don't run on the fireground either. Capt. didn't bring a tool or a can, what point is there to run down there?? Then you make your nozzleman drag all that hose by himself...

[@jimfitz1432]

LAFD don’t drive down alley’s…ever. And yes it’s stupid.

[@jimturtle6223]

Now you all know why the FDNY sends a truck along with the engine to a car fire...

[@harrytraction1380]

Back your rig down the alley, short hose lay, forward to a hydrant if needed. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@JBart3112]

Wow. Was ready to bet that Cap and FF1 were going to collapse in their way down the alley. Was also going to say that neither one having an axe or other tool with them was a an inexcusable mistake, but I’m pretty sure that would have been too much for them to handle.

[@MPWEST83]

Huh. Im used to watching the FDNY, and NOT used to seeing a firefighter run in full bunker gear and equipment attached. Thats kinda hot 😅 wait, is that a captain? Im confused. I think everybody here needs a leeeetle bit of training at The Rock in NY...

[@dues-cheater]

Clearly a hose chaser who knows nothing about firefighting but hey keep spreading those legs your service is greatly appreciated somewhere!

[@timothyreed8417]

Hose pulling fully geared out is part of their training…

[@MPWEST83]

@timothyreed8417 yes, I am aware of that, but like I said, I'm used to watching people firebuff the FDNY, and they never run, EXCEPT for in training, and I watch FDNY firebuffing literally everyday, so it's just something I'm not used to seeing, ya know?

[@BigDuke-md8ec]

And this is why FDNY sends an engine and truck to a vehicle fire . You just never know … they had one guy on the nozzle and the officer running around doing laps and I guess the chauffeur. No one to open that garage for the line initially

[@ffjsb]

This is why your dispatcher ASKS QUESTIONS... If there's no exposure, an engine alone is perfectly fine. If not, you send an entire structure fire assignment. Capt. didn't bring a tool with him either.

[@jimfitz1432]

Not why FDNY has that policy. It’s due to a LODD death. From a car taking out a member. It’s to block traffic. But you get the added bonus of extra manpower and equipment none the less.

[@nrakma]

By the way, Captain didn’t even bother to put water on the only thing they could have saved. LA County should take over that department just because of their False, Class 1 Advertising alone.

[@jimfitz1432]

Lol LA County …? we’re not any better my friend.

[@nrakma]

I bet they had to hand lay a line to the hydrant too. Incompetent Captain receiving $300K a year.

[@kipleonard282]

Somenof these fires people are setting. No fycking way ambers flew that far & miss every thing in between like this..

[@boogheatherriordan1381]

Maybe y’all can answer this why don’t y’all use the ocean and suck up the water? I know those trucks have floats so they can suck water out of things. Why are you not using that tool? Why are y’all just standing around? The Palisade fire?

[@harrytraction1380]

Back your rig down the alley, short hose lay, forward to a hydrant if needed. You now also have a structure fire also. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
