Massive Fire Destroys Fabric Warehouse In Downtown Los Angeles

[@zombiegirlfanter5569]

My Heros..I hope the injured are ok. God bless our Heros that fight in such dangerous conditions.

[@darrens.4322]

Incredibly good video by ONSCENE TV. Good video of 3 master streams coming down from the ladder trucks. That was impressive. Those firefighters on the roof, on the edge there, I would say should not be there. I'd got defensive of the firefighting and get them off the roofs, for sure.

[@suzylarry1]

good coverage, this fire has lots of hot fuel by the size of the flames venting

[@consmyth1346]

Don't come in to work tomorrow guys

[@garyhess7439]

Very good video.Nice work.

[@flamingstag2381]

xlnt coverage !

[@darrens.4322]

Never knew yarn was so flammable. Sad for the workers there.

[@CLEARVIEW666]

lol yarn doesn't burn that hot or aggressively. Some kind of accelerant was part of the burn i;m guessing.

[@consmyth1346]

what's the first thing you do in the event of a fire in the work place? Go home

[@PureGuard-bx1ow]

what happens ?

[@DaleDix]

Must have been a big star force response!

[@heartless-1340]

I guess someone lost there job 😓😥😥😥😥😥

[@sheldonlatimer5911]

It’s always fires downtown LA , but there hasn’t been one of this magnitude and I’ve been here since 73

7th street near Alameda

[@PureGuard-bx1ow]

158 firefighters ？！

[@patsematary]

They have to watch out for the power line, but that running fan means there’s still electric power in the building.

[@lornes7526]

The fan is being driven by air getting sucked into the building from outside.

[@keestrokes]

There were two views of a ladder pipe in operation that was not LAFD. Look at 8:20 & 11:46. It is a dark ladder with red agency on side of it. LAFD ladder pipes in operation on both sides of it. it Is not LACoFD but auto aid from ?????

[@1339LARS]

Some fire !

[@itsme-ih2cx]

You know a lot of clothing/ fabric manufacturers don't make any money anymore so the best they can do is burn the building down to collect insurance $$.

[@johnheydon3032]

Why is the firemen so slow

[@albertnunes8552]

I have no knowledge of firefighting equipment but do very much enjoy watching all the firemen working and seeing all the cool Tonka Toys they have, my question if anyone can answer it is why is it that LA and other Western states always seems to have trucks that are in mint condition and other parts of the country other departments have old run down equipment, just seems to me that these men and women are putting their lives on the line and should have up to date modern trucks to do their jobs, I’m not criticizing any department just a question.

[@maxhallman1036]

Most western states actually have vehicles that are mainly over 10 years in service and look brand new because 1 no salt 2 they have their own fleet maintenance and 3 they have more money to take care of the equipment

[@tmilesffl]

It's all about the money. Many parts of the country have Volunteer fire fighters and have to do fund raising to get new equipment. A new fire truck can cost around a million dollars.

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

Just one question about that vehicle at 4:00: What is this small compartment at the back for? There is a steering wheel inside, so is it possible to manoeuvre it from the rear (just as we know from infantry tanks, which also have a 2nd driver at the rear). Thanks in advance, regards from Germany! J.K.

[@CLEARVIEW666]

it has a trailer driver in the back to steer for the 100 foot ladders. Plus it has tons of extra storage.

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

@@CLEARVIEW666 Thanks. The range is about the same as in Germany: 100 ft = 33m. That's OK for 8 - storey buildings, I presume.

[@jurgenkuhlmann9194]

@Shawn Stafford OK, thanks!

[@blinko656]

You take the best video. :)

[@freeman2399]

Was that the chief that was taken away?

[@thenussbaum44]

The first thing I would ask the PIO is why no pre-piped water ways on the trucks, second one is why are they on a roof that has fire coming through it.

[@rspathetickeystonecopsguns7910]

why is he, the PIO, wearing lipstick???

[@thenussbaum44]

@@rspathetickeystonecopsguns7910 To match his helmet and it's LA the land of strange people.

[@rd4660]

Holy cow! Could it be any more complicated with those power lines right out front? And the volume of water! Sheesh! What a technical challenge.

[@jimfitz1432]

What’s up with the one dude wearing a traditional helmet @5:56 ? Is this a new wear test ??? Anyone know ??? And the chief going down on the roof @11:00 mins. what’s going on there ?

[@johnwrigley1624]

I'd like to know that myself. I thought wearing of real helmets was forbidden in and around LA.............

[@jimfitz1432]

John Wrigley It is....County was able to wear them. For a good 12-14 years. 2003 until 2017/2018 . Then they decided to pull them. A year or two ago. (the executive Staff). A sad day in my opinion. Just curious to know if LAFD is doing a wear test for a new helmet ?

[@rd4660]

The Chief didn’t eat his Wheeties that morning!

[@fightingirish8584]

@@jimfitz1432 They are just testing them out. I heard there are lawsuits against the the helmets they have been using.

[@jimfitz1432]

Yup.... I work for LACOFD. A sad day when they made me hang up my traditional. A sad day indeed.

[@paser11385]

I guess it's cool to say we have aggressive truck companies but this shit is just straight of Reckless. first second of the video that building is a total loss nobody should be on that roof. And then it takes 45 minutes to set up a ladder pipe. You can cut a hundred vent holes on that roof it would make no difference. Lafd has great aggressive firefighters. just questionable tactics

[@tomavolese9217]

Would have never put those guy's on the roof ! Fire already vented it's self.

[@TheMaleficent1]

They were clearly putting water on the fire. Pretty sure that's part of their job description.

[@BIGDROC99]

iamdebster Then invest in tower ladders. That’s a bowstring truss roof. Absolutely no need or excuse to be up there.

[@chris71mach1]
