Firefighters in Glendale rushed to extinguish a fire at a duplex Monday afternoon. Feb. 3, 2025. KTLA 5 News - Keeping Southern Californians informed since 1947.
The wind is 4 mph in Glendale. Wind isn't a significant risk factor for fire. Low humidity is. Wind makes a place cooler. In sub-zero temperatures, wind has an even greater cooling effect. It's currently -29°F in Yakutsk, a 4 mph wind is making it feel like -44°F. The higher the wind, the cooler it feels. When it's hot, a fan is used to blow air, which feels cool, which cools down the body. The wind from a fan doesn't make a place warmer and drier. Hence, wind doesn't start fires (i.e., an original fire). It can, however, blow an ember, which can start a second fire. It won't start the first fire.
not if the fire marshall had anything to do with approving the home's electricity. the Hurst fire by my house recently was started by an Edison transformer blowing up AGAIN for the second time since 2018. See, Edison doesn't have to obey fire marshall's rules. they get to get away with having faulty equipment. private citizens homes, however, are all up for taxing and regulating.
They are there to provide an attack line on the fire. They charge the line and begin attacking the fire at the 7:30 mark. This building is in a difficult spot to get elevated ladder trucks on all sides, so they are using the building next to the fire building as an attack point. They are also there to watch for any spread of the fire to adjacent buildings.
I lived here and was home when it happened. The roofers working on the house were non bonded and non insured. The fire started on the roof where they were working
Losing the rear room while they focus solely on the front of the home. There seems to be a handline streaking across the A/b corner of the building and hitting the roof but it then stops
Don't worry, I hear all that water that Trump had released from Northern Californian reservoirs is slowly making its way down there. Estimated time of arrival = never.
@ You are welcome to embarrass yourself by publicly making such blatant mistakes as often as you like, nacho. What led you to believe your snap misconceptions had any relationship to reality?
Remember, "you got yourself in the wrong place if you have to call me to pull you out of a fire" as one of the firemen actually had to carry someone out of a window with cerebral palsy.. But dont worry, as long as the person looks like you😂
A nice little place too, bummer for the folks who lived there.
For the amount of fire coming out at the beginning of the video, these firemen did a good job knocking it down
You guys are doing a great job
Lord have mercy

Hey genius thanks for that 90 % of all fires ? Arson , psychos , derelicts , homeless
The guy at the bottom right missing the roof half the time
I l8ve next to it, the house next to it is purchased by a developer... Mabee a fire to collect?
nah there were people working on it just 30 minutes prior. they've been renovating it for months. i live close by
Jewish lighting
@@spacelung they are dragging out construction because they know trump will make construction materials more affordable.
Commentators know what to do, not sure anyone else does
Damn no way it’s still going on
Older house, electrical most likely the cause.

So thankful for our fireman and police officer who take care of Glendale Ca.
They’re all doing the best job of fighting the fire.
Is this Glendale CA or Arizona
California since the news is KTLA
Ca.
Well, that’s a goner!
What's the point of having 3 ladder trucks their and NOT utilizing any ????. Piss poor fire fight.
ask karen bass about that. she's your elected official.
What are the firefighters on the rooftop doing?????
They are there to provide an attack line on the fire. They charge the line and begin attacking the fire at the 7:30 mark.

Unhoused or Vengeful Ex?
More like resident-involved accident.
Overloaded electrical lines, cooking oil spilled on stove, rechargeable battery catching fire, etc etc.
@@SlimJim-bw3ib Why not all of the above occurring at exactly the same time?
neither. it’s a property that has been being worked on daily including the day of the fire. so likely something to do with electrical.
I lived here and was home when it happened. The roofers working on the house were non bonded and non insured. The fire started on the roof where they were working
Looks like it’s not fully 100% of the wildfire
It seems like it took forever for the firefighters on the roof to get that hose working. 😒
Really? and you are an expert? Hold your thoughts and let firefighters do their job!
@robertnuyda8759 even the announcer said so
I found it in Google maps. No schools nearby, but there's a used car dealership just up the street. 😮
someone trying to hide evidence
❤ 🔥 ❤️
Water works pretty good on fires
I’m sorry with all these resources there and you only see one or two hoses spraying water are you kidding me? 🤯🤯
Yeah same thought
Losing the rear room while they focus solely on the front of the home. There seems to be a handline streaking across the A/b corner of the building and hitting the roof but it then stops
6 firefighters on a roof that has no fire and 1 handline. What are they waiting for
I watched this on tiktok everyone got out but 2 cats were left inside not heard if they got them out as the building was red carded
Méré bondie "dieux est la dieux est la
Ugh. Why is it always the animals that suffer the most. Poor babies
I lived here and the cats got out. I haven’t found them yet but if anyone nearby sees anything please let me know
Too many accidents
Why arent the buildings next door burning like eaton and palasades fires? Curious how this is more like a normal fire. Hope no injuries
Because there is high humidity, and the winds are weak and no brush to burn
Because they didn't use lasers this time.
Because there's no Santa Ana winds today.
@@cookielapaz8927 for real. we are under attack in California
Is it America fire not end
Is this DEI ?
You guys are doing a great job you got this

Newsom and Bass trying to do the opposite of what Trump says 😂
@@daphnelu7well Trump is a DMF
@@daphnelu7 Good for them, because everything Trump says is a lie.
But on the BRIGHT SIDE....
The farmers didn't loose their equipment to the unannounced flooding!
No summer water though...
Plenty of water in northern California. Should be making its way via the aqueduct. If not Nestle may bring a million water bottles.
nice
dumpster fire
Waxing is dangerous 😮
Hiney
Thank Gawd trump turned on the big faucets…
Where?
Yup!
Threw away ALL the Central Valley farmer's SUMMER water!
@@timothyreed8417 up north. He literally thought the water would just flow down 🥴
But it didn’t, now it’s heading towards areas that don’t need water.
Think before you speak.
@@ltran6535 I’m being sarcastic, does that help?
Maybe y’all should stop burning flags. 😵
Wow what’s happening in the LA county!!!
LA County deals with over 10,000 fires every year. Just because YOU are suddenly paying attention does not mean there's anything unusual about this.
@@jasminelindros8923 that's weird, most Jasmine's i've met weren't so rude to people. something tells me you haven't done the work, huh? welp.

Weed pipe fire
Did the firefighters have fire hydrants since I just seen a video where people are stealing them
Glendale you say, could end up being some type of insurance fraud
Bummer! It was recently canceled.
