- Los Angeles Fire Department Engine 17 was dispatched to the intersection of 7th Place and Mission Road for reports of a vehicle fire. They arrived to find two large RVs fully involved with fire. An additional engine (Engine 25) was requested. The fire was extinguished with hand lines and the wagon battery. No injuries were reported.
Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, CA - 11/24/2022
Deck guns are under utilized. Nice work.
only if you have a hydrant, will suck a tank dry in a minute
Pull up to the fire. Tank to pump and deck gun it with the water carried on the pump while the next pump in lays a line from the plug.
If emptying the tank with the deck gun won't put the fire out, emptying it with a handline won't either.
@@CyclingSasquatch seems like it was a 2 prong attack with both gun and handline.
So is your brain.
Deck Gun Danny, saved the day!
DGD good handle

Awesome use of the deck gun; a very underutilized piece of equipment.
My first thought was this is a perfect spot for the deck gun/water cannon /deluge gun/monitor. You can pick the name
I agree, putting the kid on the deck gun was quite effective. I'm no fireman. Nice work from the camera man too.
@@smokechecktim7430 you forgot "Stang"
Engineer had a supply coming, should have utilized the wagon battery a lot sooner. Managing his tank water before hand lines were open. Captain on wagon battery, firefighter on hydrant, other firefighter on hand line and engineer at panel. Additional companies are arriving. Exposers are a concern as well as power lines.
Took WAY too long to use it, should've been the FIRST thing they did.
This was a clear-cut case for using a master stream. This wasn't just a car fire; this was the equivalent of a couple of small semi trucks going up with multiple exposures. Good for the LAFD for busting out the deck gun here - it knocked the fire down in under a minute.
I'm sure they were eagerly awaiting your approval 🙄
@@virgilhilts3924 Better complements than brickbats of the typical TH-cam commenter.
I'm sure the taxpayers that live on that street where freeloaders hang out in dilapidated RV's are just heartbroken to have witnessed this tragedy. The audacity to have the slide slid open on the traffic side is the ultimate sense of entitlement.
must be nice to have a comfortable home in a "respectable" neighbourhood....have some compassion
@@derrickharvey295yes it is nice to have my own home in a great neighborhood and no I do not have compassion for anyone...you reap what u sow...u want something u earn it,no handouts...got hooked on drugs and lost everything...sucks to be u,not my problem to worry about...go give them your money
God forbid they have 4 extra feet of space while probably in the worst position of their life... Have some compassion!
Yup, free electricity and parking, we get to pay for. Btw, these don't look like 1970's campers.
@@derrickharvey295 Бог подаст...
german retired lieutenant is watching this video in the philippines. respect guys. that looks very professional and it looks like you really enjoy your job. stay safe. 🎩🎩🎩
Doesn’t fell nice to live on a planet where every city and town and state has a fire department god bless everyone that works for the fire departments
Philippines? Weren't you escaping to Argentina?
@@Saeglopur89yes but the brides come cheaper and younger in the Philippines I’m guessing (I’ve known a few Germans over the years 🤣). Plus the trade in market is good and you can get a new model every few years.
Suspicious looking fire, nice work with the roof mounted monitor
How said watching two 1/2 million dollar homes in CA go up in flames :)
@@trvman1
😭👍🙃🤣.........truth!.....lol
@@trvman1 Half mil? More like $20k
That's what I was thinking. I can't figure out how it spread from one RV to the second naturally without burning the front of the other first.
Someone in the neighbourhood probably got tired of seeing these parking on their street is my guess.🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's a fantastic engineer. Got a water sorce, got them line stretched, got deck gun to kick ass. Well done!
Great move on using deckgun on this fire! You could hear propane releases occurring on propane tanks! Great job LAFD!!!
Thank you my Fire Buff Friend. Great shots at pre Arrival. The hand line ( Protect the exposure) then Deck gun. Great work by LA's finest. One Engine took control and contained it as Back up arrived.
Yes I agree that it was a good idea for the first engine not to wait for the second one before starting to put the fire out.
No rush, no rush.
Excellent catch 😀👍👍 Thanks for the video & the channel!!!! Keep up the good work!!! Good job LAFD 🚒🏬
That young lad on the roof cannon did a great job on his own respect to them all
Engineer saved the day with that deck gun. Great stream placement....
is it hard to get the steam correct
Props to that officer helping pull the hose!
Young Man on the water cannon nailed it!!👍💯
I always thought that when the fire fighters arrived at a fire they were ready to go straight away but these videos say something else!!!
I have implemented a full sprinkler system for my house because to do not believe the fire brigade could arrive in timer to make a difference.
The paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud love and appreciate you guys thanks good catch as usual appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
I dunno. If they stayed back at the station, it would have made no difference. The fire peaked already. They just coming along all bells and whistles and bling-bling to douse a fire thats already started to recede.
@@tonyautoworkxlll
are they firemen? I thought they were tourists😂
It is baffling how long it takes to get a decent stream of water on a fire in these major metro areas. These fire departments have BILLIONS of dollars of equipment, lots of trained personnel and they roll up to fires and it's like watching the three stooges most of the time. Mass confusion. Not sure I've seen one of these videos where it appears a highly oiled machine is working. For those in the know, go ahead and blast away. Educate me on the ins and outs of fire fighting. I know what I would do - GET WATER ON THAT SUMBISH ASAP.
To the guy on top of truck who about had it all put out before the other ones found their gear. Great job!
That deck gun did an easy job on those "rv's" nice catch n great job of the guys at the pipes
Thank you LAFD. Dealing burning RV and motorhomes on inner city streets. It was never like this when i was a kid. What happed to my city
Free marketbots decided to jack housing prices to insane levels, then Covid and the war in Ukraine hit.
And nothing was done about item 1 and we are now complaining about the situation that we were too lazy to prevent and the result.
To the rest of us in the country its very obvious what happened to your city. Like every other major dem city. Yet the citizens keep voting the same way? Keep believing, I'm sure it will get better, right? Look at Baltimore for that answer. Makes no sense.
Yup, keep voting for the woke Left. Gavin Newsome loves ppl living like this, until a Chinee dictator comes to visit, then he pushes them all somewhere else for a week. Glad I left that s-hole state. @@keithallen3119
Great use of the Deck Gun!
A great way to “monitor“ the situation 👍
Spent some time living in a Transit Van and for those asking how they both caught fire....my guess is they were sharing 1 or more extension cords and that spread from 1 the other. I've seen quite a few people's homes(rv's) go up like this and it's said. Usually from a faulty heater or wiring that's old. They burn so fast that even if FD gets on scene within 2 mins the RV is gone
Or the wing blowing sparks from back RV to front RV
Or cooking drugs.
@@kaydee9583 Yeah, that "wing" can be treacherous...
@@daryllect6659 LOL wind
Or an enemy of both.
Mad respect for LAFD, as they are an aggressive and impressive department. That said, seemed a little lackluster. Seemed pump pressures were low, not a ton of hustle. Know they were just RV's....
That's scary. Im as former volunteer FF. And i actually live full time at a campground in a 32ft towable. I know most rvs and campers use propane for the HVAC water heater and stove. And some use propane as a coolant for the fridge/freezer units. But in transit you are not supposed to have full tanks on board but people forget so that's still a factor.
@Pat Luxor in case if vehicle fires its lessons the chance of an explosive from the tanks b.l.e.v.ining
@@anthonyj.adventures9736 No. Just NO. It's perfectly NORMAL to travel with full tanks because in many places there's no place to fill a propane tank.
Those R V’s didn’t just start, appear’s they were an inferno for a long , long time! Look at how much total destruction was evident loons before F D finally showed up, despite the fact the smoke must have bee visible fo sseeveral miles! The roofs and sides of R V’s were down to near chassis by time F D showed up. Did they come from San Diego? And only 2 engines showed up initially,& this fiasco was in an industrial area, where were witnesses,& nothing happened to alert authorities of massive R V conflagration! Fire response was very poor!
That's why my motorhome won't be having any gas.
So far so good
Outstanding performance
LAFD'' Congratulations
The damage to the Telco lines and the associated outage will take hours to repair once they clear the scene.
The FIRST thing they should've done is hit it with the deck gun. The handline was next to useless, especially since LA NEVER gives the nozzleman any help.
Fabulous use by the caption to use the deck gun to gain control untill additional units arrive, well done.
For those saying this is a good job, maybe for a volunteer department. This is one of the most professional FD's in the US and it took them just over 2 minutes to put water on the fire. It's amazing it didn't spread further. great filming as always.
i was thinking the same thing
Amen brother. I was expecting speed, efficiency, team work and it was painful to watch.
Bet you're a volley who gets their rocks off on any chance to dump on a career dept. Looks like they had pressure issues in the first few min. Also the response time alone for these type of calls blows volleys out of the water so there's that. They'd still be in their pickup with blue lights on pulling out of their driveway when these guys are pulling a line.
Nick you’re wrong. First line should have been placed between the RV’s and the structure. They should have used the tank water, saving time, while the supply line was established. Nice job by the engineer placing the deck gun in operation. And that comes from 33 years of experience.
@@CaptainRon13 what does that have anything to do with what I said or the fact that it appeared there was pressure issues? nothing that's what.
Handled by only 2 Engines. 👍🏻👍🏻 Well done.
if this was FDNY, they’d have 4 Battalions, 13 Engines, 5 Rescues and a few Ladders with a whole bunch of guys standing around not doing much.
Really just one engine. And one guy on top of that engine
Looks like a meth lab went bad.
Good work everyone !
For supporting fire by cooling front where back of RV on fire, “ok we will get there eventually”.
It's great when we all come together to help no matter what your job is. That's what makes us Americans. 👍
LA isn't a Volunteer Force. These guys are all professional firefighters by trade
you don't have to wave the flag patriotically just because professional fire brigades are doing their job....
@@AnastaziaValvaine he’s talking about the cops helping to move supply lines at one point.
has nothing to do with "americans", its called human decency and a moral attitude
Arggghghhhhh....puke
Love that deck gun.
Thats messed up could be someone's home with nowhere else to go 😕
prob a meth lab
@@crash6674
What are ya talking about, those are half-million dollar homes in California!
I was up in LA a couple of weeks ago. I saw a few RVs in the valley that had caught fire that had been put out and people were still living in them. Granted they didn't burn as bad as these, but they were burned bad enough to where they no longer ran.
They probably were. Welcome to LA, where John Carpenter's dystopia world is now reality. Where's Snake Plissken?
Great work guys ..
Has anyone ever noticed this guy always gets to the fire before the firetrucks?
And your point is?
@@90210FireBuff How is it possible?
@@dammitbobby283 Because sometimes luck is on my side and I'm at the right place at the right time while other times I'm late to a fire. Really depends on timing
Hmmm
Note to self, never purchase this RV brand!
Also congrats to not using a clickbait thumbnail. Your a 1 of 100 hero here, which is a 100% hero. 😁👍
I never expected to see two RV's fully engulfed! Cool vid!
RV go up like matchbooks.
@@fladave99 Oh yeah! 🔥
That fire looks very suspicious
lol ya think so.
It would have made it faster in the end which also saves water if they would have used foam to Cover those 2 to make Sure the fire is out combined with controlling it via a Thermal camera ^^
Great job ladies and gentlemen
That deck gun seemed very effective.should be employed more often
Something out of a movie! Awesome footage
Good use of the deck gun. A lot of water and kept the members away from the power lines
"...kept the members away from the power lines."
I always try to keep my "member" away from power lines.
Those RV’s would be worth a whole house in the Midwest.
Just one question why did it take that crew so long to deploy the pre-connect
DECK GUN !! Would have used it first. Stretching the lines down the street next to RVs is dangerous. Propane tanks there can cook off.
Very cool footage to see 😃👌🏼! Thank you for that 😁❤!
Perfect set up for the deck gun
Looks like someone has come up with a unique way of dealing with L.A.'s homeless problem!
Can anyone advise what engine 25 was doing upon arrival hooking a 5" line into 17? Was 17 going to pump to 25? Wouldn't 25 want to secure their own water source/hydrant?
Good thinking on the deck gun strategy, 2 RV fires that potentially have propane tanks and 2 automobiles next to them plus the building. When in doubt always better to go for the big lines!!!!!
Awesome video! Those firefighters took care of business.
Nice Job, it's amazing how fast those motor homes burn, new or old units.
The one firefighter that was suited ip and ready to go needs a raise
This is an outstanding video 👍🏻👍🏻
Deck guns are very underutilized and toucan knock downs fire fast😊
never understood why our fire engines here in the uk dont have the deck guns on them but then again here we have the high pressure reels that take seconds to reel out and get water on the fire
I never understood why we don't have hose reels on our rigs here where you could get some water on a fire in seconds while the rest of the guys wait until the place is burned to the ground before they get water on it. If you watch enough US fire videos, you'll see time and again a small fire that could be attacked upon arrival if they were so equipped that could be greatly mitigated while the hoses get up and running. It's infuriating. That deck gun was a great help in this case.
Here in the Czech Republic, we also use English DENNIS cars. I was a professional firefighter, and I drove this car to emergency situations. It's a great car.
Are those civilians/bystanders helping to move the hose when E25 arrives? If so, kudos to them for stepping up instead of just standing there rubbernecking as people would have in many other places.
Engine 17's deck gun made all the difference.
Let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok the paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard great job great catches as usual keep them safe out there way to go ! Joe
Next question, why do the just have one hand line in operation 😊
Great video

Good job guys!
It's amazing to watch these professionals work. LAFD, and LAPD, are the most UNDERPAID heroes!
70% of firefighters are volunteer and do all the same things career departments do with less manpower
They actually have a pretty good pay/benefits plan for SoCal
Perfect timing for camper wash
Nice work boys. I am very jealous of that monitor.
У них там дом на фоне уже горит, а они продолжают поливать машины. Я конечно понимаю, что пламя сбить надо, но походу очень рассчитывали что здание не загорится резко сильнее, или я не знаю как это назвать...
Land of the quarter million dollar a year firemen. I remember watching Emergency as a kid and thinking they made near poverty wages, boy was that show misleading.
Two RVs burning at the same rate on arrival... looks like someone torched them to me. Definitely looks suspicious.
"Meth Lab 1 to Meth Lab 2, what's that smell?" - Dammit we're both on fire.
didn't Walter White cook meth in them?
Nice catch brother 👍👍
In the words of FENTON You guys gonna get some water on that anytime soon!!?
Woahh nice!!
That looks like arson
Very good job Firefighters! Those burning power lines added extra danger. Suspicious looking fire at first glance. Double Insurance caper?
Watched some videos lately explaining how rent has become so high many are now living in rvs on the streets. Guessing this was 2 people's homes they didn't want to lose.
no insurance on dilapidated unregistered rvs; they are homeless pple in very old rvs.
@4:49 Is that funnel in the water port or the fuel port? Center of screen.
I'd guess water. Had it been fuel, even if it were diesel, vapors would have probably flashed up long before then, and we see there's no fire in that immediate vicinity.
That firefighter with the first hose line didn’t look all that great though.
The Deck Gun !!!!
What camera do you have?
I had a boyfriend about 30 yrs ago who hated firemen. Called them nozzle nuts and mocked them every time he saw them. Dont ask me why his hatred, i guess he was one of those ppl who hated everyone but himself. I just hope the ahole had an dire emergency and needed their assistance. Maybe he would change his mind.
Nice work on getting a water supply right away and utilizing the deck gun!
That had to be arson. Three different seats of fire.
I am left wondering why the crew are wearing BA ?
DECK 💞F U N!!!!!😁😁😄GREAT JOB GUYS!!!! 👏 👏👏👏👏👏😉
2:19 that's the most firefighter looking firefighter to ever firefight.
that first RV has a gas funnel still in the filler tube..... interesting
That’s some nice footage 👍
lovely area
This is why you never use extension cords! they get way to hot. another thing never leave a Motorhome unattended for more then 15 mins running with anything plugged in. I know about pull behinds and Rvs. Thank you for puttin out the fires and Praise God, Blessings no injured or death this day in fires?
Holiday Rambler Imperial diesel pusher in front and a Dolphin class A gas in rear..Notice how the Holiday Rambler, a much higher $$$ model/brand was much slower to burn than the National Dolphin was..These were people's homes too..full time
rv'ers and van dwellers..sad
Fire & Police , dispatchers, etc. Blessings . It's Difficult Economic reality that leads to tragedy like this . A problem that started decades ago & solutions consistently undermined by ?
Awesome footage bro!
If the city would outlaw rv parking / living on the streets they wouldn't be going thru this
Awesome nice work man ❤
RIP E17
Did they put the lemon pepper marinated shrimp on a spit to hold over the flames?
Best tool on the truck, DECK GUN!
You used to be the best tool on the truck. Or the worst....depends on how you look at it.
