LAFD Working House Fire: FS77 (Sun Valley)

Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to the 9100 block of Omelveny Avenue for a reported structure fire. First arriving companies found a two-story home with heavy smoke and fire showing. Firefighters went into the offensive mode to attack the fire. The fire largely affected the 2nd floor but also had extension into the attic as well. A neighboring residence was threatened but was protected by firefighters. It took just over a half hour for 38 firefighters to extinguish the fire. Four patients were assessed for smoke inhalation but weren't transported. Cause is under investigation.
Recorded in Sun Valley, Los Angeles, CA - 7/15/2024

Nice job. Wooden ground ladders. Excellent. Thanks for your efforts.

[@eriksand9262]

Oakland and San Francisco also use wooden ground ladders.

[@dbyers3897]

Apparently a California firefighter was electrocuted in the 1970s while deploying an aluminum ground ladder. Only place in the world that still uses them.

They should've spent that money on waterways for their ladders.

Fire was ripping when they got on scene! That's what happens when there's a lack of stations in the valley...

I’m watching firefighter videos cause the last night there was a fire somewhere around my house and I saw what they did but not really that much so I want. I’m watching firefighter videos to see what they’re doing.

[@Pigster9875]

I actually work right by there lmfao; as a stringer I was tempted to take off to it but just decided to keep rebuilding transfer cases lol

[@biggles754]

Running slick tires on that ladder at 7:19 eh

[@DC-ih8bv]

Just don't understand the peaked roof venting in California especially in those conditions. I know they train for it but here in the east coast big city ..no bloody good . Great Department for sure though ..LA.

[@maxpower8916]

Unfortunately by the looks of it a total and complete loss.

[@onthefly4711]

No offense, just a question: Why do most firefighters not wear gloves while on the scene? Is there a kind of philosophy or tactic behind that?

[@edotoole6604]

This house was history. It needed immediate water not poking the roof!

[@timtim4603]

Never understood why they break the roof allowing more oxygen to get in and increase the fire? They don’t do that in UK

[@JB91710]

Which pushes the fire down into the living areas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@laynevaughn7501]

@@JB91710 It is used as ventilation so the smoke has somewhere to escape in bulk. Also to clear interior of smoke for visibility.

[@ffjsb]

@@JB91710 WRONG. Heat RISES. Basic science JB. That's another thing you know nothing about.

[@ffjsb]

You clearly don't have a clue. Did you see air going DOWN into the roof??? No, you didn't, because that's not how fires work. Heat RISES. Venting the the heat and smoke allows cool air to come in behind the fire so firefighters can go in to the seat of the fire and put water on it. If not for ventilation, they'd be standing around outside trying to put out the fire like firefighters in the UK.

[@ffjsb]

@@laynevaughn7501 JB is a troll that knows nothing about firefighting, but acts like he does. He's never been on the job.

[@dennisperkins3204]

Sorry to say that you are taking to long to put water on the fire ok lads

[@sammyn9345]

Too long? 😂

[@timothyreed8417]

Are you watching a truck company or an engine company?

[@JB91710]

Vertical Ventilation improves conditions on the lower levels? Consider the over pressurization in the attic actually pushes down into the living spaces.
