*Pre-Arrival* LAFD Working Multiple Tree Fires with Extension into Residential Building (Hollywood)

[@alvincoston2051]

Much respect for these members. They hustled from their time of arrival. Deck gun and all. Much respect!!!

[@trvman1]

Finally a fire department that uses a deck gun. Seems like most departments have them but they are only for show.

[@dogma39-c4j]

This is one of those 2am fires where you show up and are like "wtf is going on".

[@brucegordon4992]

Looks like they wasted no time when they arrived and the deck gun is always a bonus. Great video, thanks.

[@melvincampbell4690]

Good, aggressive fire attack and tactics. No 1000 members standing around waiting for assignments, multiple lines stretched. Much respect LAFD

[@marksellinger3736]

Those Italian Cypress trees are a fire menace. Put them near your house and, well, you see what happens.

[@mar4oz]

So are the arsonists lighting everything on fire!

[@soonerstatefirephotography]

@@mar4oz yeah, the arsonists and meth heads that California dems love to bail out of jail so mutch

[@ronfreniere8769]

For the amount of fire that that was showing, better the trees that were burning and the building. Glad that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident, John one resident who thought that he needed to go back in. Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.

[@AnthonyG13EmergencyVideos]

Wow. Not something you see everyday. Great footage of it. It seems like everything in LA is about twice as flamable as anywhere else.

Not just fires…southern California seems to be the “disaster” capital of the US. Fires, earthquakes, plane crashes, riots, mud slides, mass shootings, etc. Disasters of every description. Seems like there’s always some kind of catastrophe going on out there.

[@pqworks9019]

I swear everyone seems to have those tall trees over there that always burst into flames. In that dry Cali heat, those trees sure can be a hazard. Those firefighters were also very fast in their response and carrying out the attack on the blaze. Pretty crazy video and good camera work.

[@sabbathfan1969]

Excellent catch, very nice video, & audio quality as well 😀👍👍 Good job LAFD🚒

[@justanotherguy1110]

As an engineer for my department, that is definitely one thing that really gets under my skin, people getting in the way of me doing work.

[@cornbread1955]

I would say the cause of the fire is the ones that was Laughing and Cheering

[@soonerstatefirephotography]

They definitely don't make a good case for themselves when they show up before fd, and they're acting like that.

[@danlowe8684]

The 1961 Bel Air/Brentwood fire burned 450 houses and was battled by 2500 firefighters. Los Angelas then passed strict ordinances that forced property owners to keep trees and brush 100 feet away from structures and outlawed cedar shake roofing materials. How soon we forget.

[@Woody615]

The 100 feet distance is only in areas that are considered Brush. This is in an urban designated area, so it doesn't apply here.

[@alle_emergency]

Awesome video!!

[@Stargazzer811]

Not often you see the engine pipe get pulled out anymore so anytime I see it I commend the thinking of the crew using it. They got a real quick knockdown on that and any water that blew past and didn't vaporize probably helped cool the 2nd floor down. Something I didn't notice before about the new engines: LAFD adopted the clean cab concept. Can't say I approve of that but, not surprised given how liberal Cali is. Still, these guys kicked some ass here. Strong work.

[@Woody615]

What is the "clean cab concept"?

[@Stargazzer811]

@@Woody615 Something that's been going around the fire service for 5-6 years now. Essentially, some departments are returning to the old ways of keeping SCBA rigs outside the cab. In the old days, this was because the cabs were smaller, because the rigs were smaller, so there wasn't enough space to pack 4-5 guys in the cabs plus SCBAs. The solution then was dedicated compartments for the SCBAs and masks. Now, they are doing it because it supposedly reduces the number of carcinogens that firemen are exposed to on the job. Many firemen, including myself, feel that not having your pack on when you exit the cab means you aren't "Ready" to fight the fire, as it takes extra time on scene to open compartments and sling your pack on, which is precious time wasted not getting the wet stuff on the red stuff. As you see here in the video though a well drilled crew can do it rather fast, so time will tell if one side or another is right. Additionally, many cabs built under the clean cab concept have floors that can be sprayed out with hoses and such to wash the interior with ease and thus get rid of any lingering, cancer causing agents or particles.

[@Woody615]

@@Stargazzer811 On the other hand, given the amount of time it takes to stretch out the hoses, and hook up to the fire hydrant, it seems like a good use of multitasking since others have to do that. So while that is going on, some crew can be putting on their SCBA. Right? Especially after seeing how long it took before they got the wet stuff onto the red stuff (deck gun not withstanding).

[@anthonyjackson1446]

Seeing this type of fire 🔥 and the many low and mid rise apartments and buildings that LA has makes me think of them having and buying an X amount of mid mount platforms for its apparatus fleet, but each to its own i guess, Like they said you can lead a horse to the water, but you can’t make him drink it.. Now they may have a few, but i just haven’t seen them.. And i especially take a liking to those new pierce mid mount accendent platforms that many departments are buying/jumping on, and I think the LAFD Would look quite beautiful/snazzy with them in their fleet, even a few aerial scopes would look quite beautiful and if not spectacular in their fleet as well… just my beautiful opinion on that department and city..🤔🔥🚒🚨

[@timothyreed8417]

Where would you put such a “piece” of equipment? What station house? What equipment would it replace?

[@georgecoons6872]

FDNY firemen dont move that fast.

[@cwagnermusic]

You're right. Not at all.

[@SteveNevelos]

I do have to say, what is the point of having scuba gear on your back, if your not going to mask up?

[@scotto3826]

The enormous number of firefighters not masked up at this fire is unacceptable. There are firefighters cutting on the roof without a mask on. Should never be allowed to happen.

[@vernonjohnsonjr7389]

Awesome video. WOW those trees must really be dry. I bet someone lit them for some reason then look what happened. Could have took responder or others lives. Hope that wasnt the case here. Stay safe out there...🤗🤗

[@ForestNinjaZero]

It's more likely that wind pushed the tree tops into the megawatt distribution line, which is visibly too close.

[@Woody615]

They don't have to be dry. They have a lot of very flammable sap in them.

I really wish people were required to take a course on how to shoot live video that would help them understand how much better these videos would be if they slowed the movements and pans down. Otherwise take the time to edit out the extreme shifts.

[@southlafirephotography]

Try filming a video of a fire as big as this and explain how “taking a course” will benefit from filming in the environment of 1500-2000° that’s caused by flames. It teaches you nothing. There’s no mandatory rule in recording. But again, try filming a big fire and see if taking classes will help, as if it will.
