- Los Angeles Fire Department was called out to the 1800 block of north Wilton Place for a reported structure fire. Engine 82C was first on scene and found a vacant two-story craftsman-style house with smoke and fire showing. Firefighters initiated an offensive attack to tackle the flames. As conditions started to worsen, firefighters transitioned into a defensive posture and fought the fire from the outside. As conditions improved, firefighters went back into the offensive mode to locate and knock down hard-to-reach spots. It took 70 firefighters just under 50 minutes to achieve a knockdown on the fire. No injuries were reported. The cause is under investigation.
Glad that it was a unoccupied building, and that there were no injuries to anyone related to this incident.
Thank you to all firefighters everywhere for protecting the citizens of your coverage area.
Great footage!
@0:27 This had me trembling. Number one: I'm very afraid of heights (as in, a stepstool will do me in! Lol). Number two: There is no way I could voluntarily walk into (even UP to) something like that but for these brave firefighters, it's just part of the job. You can't be timid to do this work and I thank God there are people willing to do it. Thanks to these firefighters and firefighters everywhere. Their bravery and dedication is amazing!
Great coverage!
THAT STILL SHOT ,IS THE PIC OF THE YEAR ! GREAT JOB AS ALWAYS ! GO AHEAD 90210 ! 4:22 4:24 4:25 4:26 4:26 4:28
Very well done footage ! 👍
Thanks for getting up to go to the fire great foot
Footage.
Great footage , I am a firefighter of 30 years , there are somethings that just baffles me about this department, why did it take so long for them to get water on the fire , and why would you be on a roof doing roof work where the fire was already blowing through the roof
Remember your ABCs Always Be Cutting
@@robertkerner4833 I'm German. Y'all confuse me. "always be cutting" - how about WTF - "water that f*cker". What's more important? That roof is already vented. Because it's already open. I don't see a point in opening it up anymore while there are few hoselines active.
Im just a fan, and i was like its self venting, why we risking it?
Same reason they still use wooden ladders, and their ladder trucks don't have pre-piped waterways, they're stuck in 1950...
How would your apartment go about this? Just a curious german ff.
Great video
classic LAFD cowboys. fire thru the roof and they are still on the roof. John Squire called out this BS years ago. nothing changed.
Capt Squire was a class act. I was an explorer at 27s in the late 90s when him and Steve Ruda were the deuces. Amazing man. I learned so much from him
@@abegumroyan you wont ever meet another man like him again. this country does all it can to squash them. he got passed over for BC for years because of his advocate work. deuces? an explorer talking like an old timer. lololo.
Seems that it took quite a while to get the water flowing…..
You are only seeing one small section of the fire ground…
Im a Lieutenant in a large east coast city and I am asking....why are we venting a roof that's already well vented and why are we adding 5 or 6 members to an already comprised roof? Someone from LA please explain this to me.
It’s just the culture of that dept. There is no VES done by this dept. as a regular practice. There isn’t an emphasis on inside truck work when conditions exist to operate that way….Instead you see this. This dept. gets on just about every roof to vent whether it needs it or not with all their truck personnel. They’ve operated this way the last 50+years easily …if this is all your department emphasizes for Truck
Ops. . it’s easy to see why it’s there go to move on just about every fire they operate at. Some like it some don’t. Up to you to decide your own opinion.
With the risk vs reward theory, in my opinion, this is unnecessary, dangerous and should be considered bad practice. This explains why I hear about guys going through roofs alot more in LA then anywhere else.
@@tims.4838
Yes deff…I’ve watched them send more than their fare share of guys through the roof over the years. There is deff a problem out here from not being aggressive enough to being to aggressive. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of in between.
I ask myself the same question over and over again watching LAFD. It's a very dangerous practice that is eventually going to hurt and/or kill several firefighters.
Im a truckie from the east coast as well lol this looks like volly work smh…Threw 14 ladders, nobody went in, vented the self venting roof, AND THE HAND LINE PUSHING THAT SMOKE RIGHT BACK INTO THE HOUSE. Has to be a joke
It seems to always go out of control in LAFD. They are great at making roof cuts when the roof is already burning through, but they can't manage to get water on the fire!
You've noticed that!
You are watching a truck company…
@@JB91710
Are we watching an engine company?
Or a truck company?
They both have different responsibilities at a fire ground
@@timothyreed8417 nooooo! 😂
@@jmWhyMe
No?
What is the primary responsibility of a truck company? An engine company?
took a while to get water going...then water on then off then on and off again over and over....and it was well vented but sent a crew to vent it more...glad they didnt vent more....
Can someone that knows more than me explain why you need guys on a roof that is vented in many places.?????????
I agree it already vented itself! But LA loves its saws!
And furthermore never put a line in a vent hole
I have seen many videos where fire departments have vented an already self-vented fire. The point of venting is to release hot gas, smoke, and direct the fire upwards. But, this is only done when the fire is in the attic/top floor. To the point above, if a crew is on the inside and a line is opened through the vent, the people inside will have not be happy.
It's called Fireplaying, plain, and simply. You didn't really think they were really heroes, did you?
I feel so sorry for people who live in a place where your house can burn down while the fire department tries to cut its way in.
BTW, that was a $1.5 million dollar home built in 1911.
I'm baffled by the firefighter on the side of the house putting water on the eve of the rood when the fire was raging on the other side of it. The angle of attack would have been more positive if he were to move back and hit the bulk of the fire from the other side of the eve. All he did was knock down the embers from the eve and they landed on top of the hoses. He the turns off his hose and turns it back on. It looked like he really didn't want to be there fighting this vacant home fire. Alot of standing around and no real effort in trying to knock down this fire. Who puts firefighters on a roof to ventilate a roof that's already ventilated from the fire pushing thru. All they did was give the gases more room to extend the fire. LAFD is horrible!!!!
That attic vent and eave line had fire pumping out of it exposing the two story apartment adjacent to it.. his assignment was probably to protect that exposure.. which you do so by putting water on the fire this is what happens when amateurs like you try to criticize a fire that you see through one angle. Also the roof division came off the roof when it become no longer necessary to be up there.
Super la vidéo pour connaître les incendies aussi respect aux pompiers pour leurs dévouement
This will make a good training video
RIP Phenix helmets......
Johnny and Roy would be going "WTF?????"
Great quality video. I think Firebuff on the balcony had the best angle for a line. The long axes seemed to be an impediment on the ladder.
Why a ladder truck with no tower water
I'm all about being aggressive however being on a roof that has self vented is not smart
New York style Helmut????
0:50 - Fire is already (OBVIOUSLY) venting through the roof in several places...yet the FFers from the truck company stupidly risk their lives to what...to vent the roof. Duh! FFS!!!
Squatters...
That's called, Fireplaying. They are accomplishing nothing but helping the house burn better. Just ask yourself, "Where's the water?"
Glad to know that you were on scene. What was your water pressure from the hydrant?
