LIVE: A massive fire at an industrial complex in Compton, California

[@fiegenfiegen]

Rows of buses 6 feet away from piles of bone-dry wooden pallets? Excellent idea! Let's do it!

[@redbug3777]

They explained the problem with Water tanker drops. Brush fire is different than City fires. Containment is the first goal!

[@Justyburger]

Excellent footage. A view to the LA downtown at the end would have been great though. It's good to see where the fire is in relation to something as iconic as the downtown. Good job though.

[@mindyschocolate]

They don’t explode JFC. It’s just tires, glass, and bumpers you’re hearing. This isn’t a Michael Bay movie.

Stacking wooden pallets like that is simply stupid. Not only from fire hazard point of view, but also general safety. Time to toughen-up safety regulations.

Yeah? First find the dude who has the keys, even so, wait 2 minutes for each engine to create the pressure or vacuum required, then move them out one by one, by which time the first one you started is being fried. Too late.

[@Utubin]

Ok @ 36:00 Too dangerous to drop water on fire in its of its self. Then use water drops around existing fire to stop the spread. I'm not talking about dropping enough to crush cars and or buildings, just enough to dampen the surrounding perimeter so the ground firefighters can focus on the flames within perimeter. I mentioned in another vid. Why not use fire retardant like they use on forest fires to stop the spread. This is just my unprofessional KZbin watching ignorant opinion. Maybe someone who is certified can chime in to educate me/us. Anyhow much love to all my first responders not just here in the good ole USA, but the world. Much love and respect.

[@gordonwybo898]

Narrator explains it well

[@susanwahl6322]

I was watching one fire when the Chief called it the fire from hell. No matter how much water they put on it, it wasn’t going out. They finally found out that flammable materials were being stored in the building. They switched to foam and eventually got a handle on it. If they had known earlier, fewer firefighters would have been hurt and the fire could have been taken out sooner. This fire reminds me of that one.

[@watchthe1369]

Pallets= perfect fuel. close wood with enough air surrounding it to really breathe. HOT and INTENSE fire is the result. that can MELT stuff and evaporate water before a smaller hose can get any on the fire.

The bus's were all broke down junk and most of them did not even run so they could not move them

[@josephbecker7149]

The firefighters of the day tried to put this fire out but they could keep it contained not to spread further into the all the businesses in that district they continue to put water on the fire and it is not out yet it will be be on fire for a while they never use helicopters that can fly over the fires like a brush fires in LA that is kind of hard to put the fire of the building. There is a way to pelt that fire it's use all the monitors if they have at the fire department they can use them to contain the fire better I've seen this before when I tell the chief let's put the monitors on the ground in them over the fire the monitors can work that way they can control the fire real easy there is a vehicle has a high power monitor that might does the fire out the fire department should order that type of monitor on the vehicle can go straight in the flames.

[@silaspena3428]

I used to know an old caveman, he never said much but one of the few things I ever heard him say was "Fire Hot!"

[@Masterheavens]

The fire brigades need vehicles better in such fires. You can see that you can't do anything about the wooden pallets that keep getting caught in fire. A vehicle is missing here that can handle the heat to get things like that out of the way. A vehicle that can be used universally. Where you can attach forks or grapples to bring such things out of the zone to prevent such things from getting caught in the fire. With gripping clips you can also pull buses or trucks out of the parking spaces, as here, in order to clear them better and more effectively. At least one further spread of the fire can be minimized in this way. It's a shame about the companies that fell victim to the flames, but the firefighters did a very good job. Thank you that you are always there where help is needed.
