Large LAFD Response To Structure Fire With Hazardous Materials + Burbank Airport Fire Dept. ARFF

[@markbickelhaupt4414]

Nice work! Huge response! Lots of moving parts. Thsnk you for your work👍👍👍

Thank you!

That ARFF rig, a Rosenbauer Panther, is a beast compared to the other fire rigs around it. If I am accurate on this, should carry 1,500 water, 200 gallons of b/foam, and roughly 400# (pounds) of dry chem-purple K. **Thanks for your video**

[@The411YouTube]

Yeah I believe you are correct. They requested the assistance of the ARFF due to the close proximity of it to the airport so it was close by, and the fact that it carried more foam which they reverse pumped to the engines on scene from what I understood or was told. The last time I remember seeing two ARFF's from Burbank respond was a large tanker truck fire in Glendale many years ago where they needed a lot of foam.

Thats interesting that drone is tethered, whats the point of that?

[@The411YouTube]

Yeah, not sure if its for steady flow of power so its up in the air longer or because they were right next to the airport to make sure there are no accidents with the drone veering away and going into restricted flight paths.

[@tfefire]

Constant power/connection so no issues with batteries or reception. I'm not certain, but it may negate some restrictions using independent drones as well.

[@RedneckCowboyFeller]

Effectively unlimited endurance. Better control in windy/turbulent conditions. Doesn't go straying off, either, plus reduced EMF pollution/interference, both of which get around various restrictions, regulations, and licensing requirements. Also, uninterrupted, high bandwidth, high resolution, real-time link. As a bonus, they can't be hacked or hijacked and the signal is completely secure. Quite a number of fire protection agencies are using them nowadays, with FLIR/thermal sensors, optical cams, and sometimes hazmat gas detection, or other sensors. With the unlimited endurance and the weight savings from deleting the onboard batteries and wifi/radio transceivers, they can add various enhanced sensor packages, as well as more powerful rotors. Tethered drone systems with vehicle docks are also used in law enforcement, and in the private sector, for various applications.

What year is the ARFF? Not familiar with that year of Panther

[@lennymiller9308]

2011 from what I found in a search

What is the rôle of the two LAFD pickup trucks?

[@The411YouTube]

They are the emergency air operations, basically provide additional air tanks and manage air tanks etc.

New here and already love it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, will do :)

[@ATF1985]

Fire trucks running over fire hoses 🤔, other then that amazing video ❤

[@The411YouTube]

Thanks. When I arrived, most of the fire had been contained and they wouldn't allow anyone near the back of the storage facility where the fire was so couldn't really get any footage of the fire itself or the aftermath but just the equipment on scene.

What is CE83??

Community Emergency Response Team Volunteer

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

@@The411KZbinNot enough of an explanation. Is it still an ambulance?

[@The411YouTube]

Basically volunteers who go through training to be a part of CERT (community emergency response team) who respond to disasters or major incidents to provide basic first aid, or other tasks like evacuations, communications and so forth. Here is a link which details it further: lafd.org/join/volunteer/cert

[@MarvUSA]

Dam, that's stupid. By the time it hits the ocean, it will be so diluted you probably won't even find negligible amount. Harmless.

[@seantracy9109]

What was the point of the firemen shoveling dirt into the street?

[@The411YouTube]

They were trying to divert and soak up or prevent possible hazardous chemicals from the water run off from entering into the storm drains.
