LACoFD Battling Massive 3rd Alarm Commercial Structure Fire with Collapse: Huntington Park
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
- Los Angeles County Fire Department was dispatched to the intersection of Gage Avenue and Atlantic Avenue for a reported commercial building fire. Engine 165 was first on scene and found a large metal tilt up commercial building with heavy smoke and fire showing. Firefighters at first went into an offensive posture to attack the blaze but quickly switched into a defensive posture as conditions rapidly deteriorated. As a result, the fire was upgraded to a 2nd alarm. After a long and hard fought battle, the fire, which later became a 3rd alarm, was knocked down with the use of ladder pipes. The cause of the fire is under investigation by investigators and other fire department personnel.
Huntington Park, CA - 5/31/21
This shows how little can be done to fight large fires. The firemen do an incredible job and we are all great full to them .some pay the ultimate price for keeping us safe.
Above a certain size, it's not about extinguishing the fire anymore, but rather letting it burn down in a controlled manner while avoiding loss of life and further damage to neighboring properties.
@@jayanthony3006 They needed to get the master stream on it at an early stage. Nothing to be done once that point was past except contain it.
Very slow job
You guys are ridiculous you let my girl's Father's House burn down the ground cuz you didn't know what you're doing hooking up a hoes getting couldn't get water when you have the ocean right there what is wrong with you you got a 5,000 square foot home go down to the ground 37 fire 🔥 trucks
Any firefighter can only do as much as they can with their equipment available. Nobody can do much against the fierceness of this inferno other than to let it burn itself out. Thank you to the hero firefighters for the dangerous work they do. I tip my hat to all of you brave men...and woman...
What about those fire retardant dropping airplanes? Or helicopters?
They're mostly men. These are not some group of boys here.
Holy crap! That's one massive fire! Glad they got a KD on it and great job by the FF's onscene and great filming by you! 👍
Kevin you not bad yourself
@@michaelmcnee3638 thanks lol
Sorry for the loss of property but WOW WHAT A GREAT VIDEO!! Hard fight for the firefighters but what a great job!!
Talk about a fire dept that’s been taxed to the max this week. Tragedy within their own ranks, and then this ginormous fire. They’ve been tested to the max.
Condolences to the families involved, especially their kids. But also to the Sisters and Brothers of LACoFD. Our HG will be there in support standing alongside many others.
Oh Dear, what a shame...
What tragedy? We don't all live in L:A.
@@549BR you really are an insensitive bastard, aren’t you?!
Los Angeles County Fire Departments YOU ALL did an outstanding 👏 great job!!!!
Thank you all for all your hard work I sincerely appreciate it stay safe
District Chief: "Send me Red Trucks with Red Lights on Top until I say *Stopp* !! "

I was very happy/surprised to see a hose rope/strap in use. They save a lot of arm strength use. I'm old school.
These Heros are warriors.. Never do they show fear during battle. God bless them.
Calm down, we're just doing the job. It's just bloody fire, it's not like we get on the truck ready for some last stand at Thermopylae facing a horde of Persians.
We appreciate the sentiment, but seriously it gets a bit much sometimes and it's actually embarrassing. At least the firefighters I work with and I get red faced and don't like the over the top zealous behaviour and words.
A simple, I don't think I could do that. Thanks... is more than enough and if you EVER get a firefighter looking for or loving the 'admiration', they are what we refer to as... Tools.
Child birth, something I personally think is 100x harder than putting out a building fire or responding to car accidents.
THAT A MASSIVE 3RD ALARM FIRE
SUE!
The radiant heat off that must have been unbelieveable.

Imagine fighting that monstrous fire that was raging hot during a drought and the hellacious temperatures of both combined. It is totally amazing these men and women can survive such conditions. That structure was burning insanely hot. WOW!
Lindsey Just what I was thinking they have a water shortage and then they have to use so much water on a fire.
the total water used on this is not significant in the big picture. If the fire spreads and multiple buildings get involved, that's bad. So cool it, keep embers down, prevent spread.

It would be good to see the daylight footage of this the next day,
Imagine if this happened in like a small rural Iowa town. The limited resources, water supply, apparatus and firefighters. Lafd has their firefighting skills to t. They always do a good job. Stay safe.
My Condolences to the Family and Friends of this brave Firefighter 🕯🌺
My Father was a Firefighter and I was very proud of him 😎
Same but my dad died :( from cancer is been 6 years and I been watching firefighter’s videos everytime and I always cry bc I miss him a lot:(
Excellent Catch 👍❤️🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒
Do all those little fire trucks carry much water
@@hillbilly4555 yes like your bladder at morning wake up 🤣
What a massive indraft at 2:00!
From the description of the conditions this was a total loss on arrival. The firefighters did well containing this fire to the original fire building. Comments about this being a slow job are not needed.
Great shots. Thank you
By the time they got their ladder up it was history.
A terrible loss, but at the extent the fire was already involved, this was a total loss before the fire department even got the call.
Unbelievable!!!!!!

WoW those guys did a Great 👍 job . That fire was big and hot 🔥 fast
Interesting over the shoulder rig to support the weight and recoil force of the hose by the backup member of the nozzle team. Do hoses come with that attached near the nozzle or is it set up at the fire ground?
Oh my God, what a monster. The heat radiating from that must've been horrendous. The term firefighter is apt. It's like a nightmarish warzone. Very brave and professional people.
why did that building not have fire sprinkler system. or another word fire suppression system. every building in the world should have them.
Good question.
Awesome Video, thanks for sharing!
Now that’s a dragon if I’ve ever seen one!
Wow, this fire reminds me of the Marcal paper fire in elmwood park nj. if you never saw it, look it up. It was a crazy fire
This one was pretty big, but nothing compared to the Marcal paper fire.
@@chris71mach1 Yeah, that was crazy!! I was there with a guy filming it. You could feel the heat blocks away, and the noise the fire made.. Had to be there to no what i mean

@@tonyboss3025 Yep, not only did I see the video, I was there that day and saw fire in person.
The intensity of this fire is max
wow thats a big fire for sure.
God Bless our Firefighters
Great video, man that looked hot! Is it me, or does it seem like an increase in these types of fires!?!
It was very hot. Felt like I was melting. I don't know the exact numbers on if there's an increase but I can tell you that commerical fires aren't rare in Los Angeles

@@90210FireBuff carelessness or arson, alot of people are losing money these days with compeitition with cheap labor over seas perhaps?
@@rosesmith6208 maybe one of those but actually we’re in a drought so rather than carelessness or arson, dry conditions and record breaking intense heat may be causing some of the fires.
No tower ladders???
Not a lot of tower ladders in Southern California
Been a fire buff since the start
I wonder if the firemen (say omg that's huge?) Something isn't right. Every square inch is on fire.
My newsman father came back from a hotel fire and was asked by co-workers:
Insurance?
What was stored there to have such a fire load??
Looked like an aviation hanger
Awesome
Check out Jeff stang fire Marcal paper factory inferno p4 10 alarm a must see wow unbelievable video...
can you imagine the amount of water being used
incrível!!
Any mutual aid departments? & How long were they on scene for? Also great video !!
No mutual aid. It was a County handle. It took over 90 minutes
At its height, this almost became a firestorm. The whirling tornado of flame was under development, but didn't Quite make it--thankfully!
Man, what an inferno.... Everything that could be done was being done.
Bow truss widow maker, glad they went right to exterior attack.

How does this even happen like bro it looks like somebody purposely blew the thing up
A structure fire that big, the best thing is to pull back, protect any surrounding bldgs and let it collapse within itself
WOW!!! WOW!!! WOWZER!!!
I wonder if this is what Rome looked like when IT was burning....
12:47 guy who set the fire?
pictures of war...
would be interessting to know, what was stored there...
The part I find interesting is hearing one of the LAFD Sikorsky S-70s in the background. Can't tell if the helicopter attempted any kind of air-drops or if just providing aerial coverage to the ground forces.
It was a TV News chopper.
@@galentaylor9953 I know helicopters, and I have never seen a Sikorsky helicopter used as a media platform. The only agency I know in LA who has those helicopters are the fire department. The Sherriff's Department has one of the Sikorsky Sea Kings, last time I saw that machine was 2011.
In Germany we would rise not less an 5th Alert on a big fire like this . (Means 5 voulenteer Fire Companies+ Not less than 3 Ladders from the next bigger Firestations).
Different countries different operating procedures doesn't mean one is better or worse than the other
@@derrickguffey4775 Exact ! The difference beginns at the Fire Station. Here in Germany we have many small Firestations with only one samll Firetruck and maybe a Transporter. If a Ladder needed they go alerted to from the next big Firestation. Beween them a Medium Big Firestation with more Trucks, Pumpers , and Trucks for the Technical need´s ,for example Traffic Acidents. But also many small Firestations have also scissors and spreader on Board,mostly on the Freeways.
@@usenamenotallowed THX :)
So not nearly as many as should be dispatched. A 5th alarm on my department is 20 engines 5 aerials and 5 Medic units.
@@ryanwallify They get Alert by DMA, (also called as Pieper) and Puplic Sirens. (3 Times 12 Seconds with 2 Breaks). When you get here a 5th Alert you normaly get one Focal point fire brigade. They are going out with :
2 Engines, 1 Tanker ,1 Ladder , 1 Trolley to Transport Fireman to the Secene, Command Vehicle (Usual a Big Transporter with the Technical equipment for Local communication and Information ), Municipal Fire Chief and his Deputy, Section Leader, County fire Chief in thier own Cars that have Sirens and Lights. . That would be first Units at a so big Alert. Ususal 2 or 3 Units Police,
Next Support Fire Brigade a bit smaller :
1 Engine ,1 Tanker , Trolley
Then the small Firestations around:
3 Firestations with a Firetruck each and some with a Trolley. With that we have about 20 Firefighter Vehicles on the Scene. I think seperate a second Ladder going be Ordert by the Next Focal Fire Station. If needed they Firetechnical Central can send a interchangable loader to Change direct on the Scene the used SCBA. But they have also many other Stuff parked there for example Hoses, Container (very Usefull for burning E-Cars !), and when it going very Long we have also a Fire department Supply unit, that make some Food and Drink for the Firefighter if the Fight get very long.
PS: I forgot 2 Ambulance for the case that firefighter need a Medic.
Why don't they use smoothbore nozzles on their handlines, especially the 2.5"? Is it a west coast thing??
I can't speak for them but I'm in Indiana and can't think of any departments around me that use smooth bores except for on deck guns
Many depts around southern calif use smooth bore tips for 2.5" hose...and on the deck guns.....In my dept, it was a call the capt would make on scene..
Wow,firnado.
Trying to get this fire out with water is not done , the water evaporates even before it hits it`s target , leaving it burn controled is best thing to do.
Damn

Another save!

An RPG would open up the side of that building
Conduct rescue, defensive posture, CA water shortage... just let it burn.
This was not a three alarm fire there should be a twelve alarm fire
Hold on a damn minute,
It's beautiful as fuck !
So hell is a beautiful place ?
I was wondering how long that engine was gonna try and stay there
They call this "URBAN RENEWAL" In Los Angeles
How does that even happen
When I see fires like this, I sometimes think to myself "conserve water" it's a lost cause, let it burn.
Yup. Once those walls fall in it's very hard to get good water on the fire. But it has enough holes to burn like a blow torch. Bad combo.
California is low on water and yet burning embers, or firebrands, start other fires. Thank you firefighters!
How do you get let onto scenes like this
The fire department doesn’t need your help.
@@galentaylor9953 What?
@@galentaylor9953 yeah, excuse me, what?

. . . what can be seen is that any under-dimensioned attack against any over-dimensioned fire is a waste of anything: of time, money, energy, human resources and any other resources you might think of - as long as you aren't able to capture more energy than the fire releases you aren't able to win the fight and you just are wasting precious resources on fighting the fire which better should be spent for protecting exposures . . .
Their not trying to put it out though
@@aaronkindoll8242 . . . " They're ". . . or " They are " - but definitely NOT " Their " . . . so learn your mother tongue before trying to teach others !
How do I kill the energy in a fire
They are protecting exposures.
Who was Troy Carlon?
Where was this'?
You get that amount of fire, the best you can do is surround and drown, baby! Surround and drown!
Arson?
I am begining to see patterns to these. Most industrial fires are going to be total losses. The businesses simply have to lock their buildings down like fortresses and there is no access for the firefighters to get in quickly. By the time a couple doors are finally broken, the fire has developed to the point that a standard rapid attack hose simply doesn't flow enough. Taking a big hose in is going to take the whole engine to maneuver and will have to be written off as that first truck has no choice but to retreat.
Most industrial fires are going to be a case of having attack lines dampen the fringes to hopefully hold a fire at bay until sticks start to get positioned and up to get main attack streams up. A main attack stream like you see on the back of the pumper trucks and the ladders on the ladder trucks is likely to core out most houses when used on them, which is why they tend to be used only on a fully involved house.
A thousand of gallons out of each hose and each 2 of the big hoses take a pumper with the ladder truck and a third supply pumper truck on a hydrant to supply. On top of that, they have to be careful how many hydrants on a pipe circuit are being pulled from, or those big hoses start to look anemic. The in ground pipes have their supply limits too. The whole process builds a temporary infrastructure in a fast paced chess game against a threat that could easily start taking out square miles of city buildings.
Just incredible what they achieve so quickly even if it looks like they are moving in slow motion sometimes.
Definitely need more saws.

anyone know the causes

I would have peed my pants a little bit if I was there
Isn't that E. Gage Ave (3383) and St. Lake Ave?
Yes

.
Whats anchoring the nozzle & hose to the ground at 1:54 so it's not flying all around?
It's designed to work like that. Could be a blitz nozzle, a portable deck gun...... there are many types of large volume nozzles that are made to be static. Reduces man power needs. Holding a 2.5 for any period of time is physically taxing. When designed for unmanned use they can be 3 or even 4 inch high volume devices.
its a blitz ground monitor
Boutique Amps Distribution, '65 Amps and maybe others in that building. Lot's of wood to burn. Making that 'warm' vintage sound...
:.(
So much lost there.
Ooo a great big fully involved bonfire
We are in defensive mode now? No shit
Probably the only "agency" I respect. Fire fighters are hero's. Cops are road pirates.
Bro don't start this shit with cops
Why aren't planes used to put out big fires ?
If this was FDNY it would have been 9 alarms!
Yes and there would be 4 tower ladders , 2 land lines and 2 ladder pipes active
🌊🌊🔥🌊
Only a 3 alarm? Is that because they didn't have the backup to jump to a 4 or higher 🤔
There’s no point in going higher. There was nothing to save, it was just exposure protection at that point
This is Los Angeles county they have a lot of resources they thought a third alarm would do.
Only 3 alarms...What was total rig and manpower count...Looks big enough to be 5 alarms in Chicago...
We just had a 6 alarm fire here in phoenix this past week.. a massive recycling center burned
With a city the size of Los Angeles seems like it would need to be a much larger fire to have a 5 alarm rating. Just an educated guess on my part as I've lived in both cities
@@derrickguffey4775 Can you determine equipment and manpower reponse for a LA 3 alarm...
Joshua Gardner - Do they know how it started? And that milk truck crash . . . Phoenix is keeping the first responders busy. And - hope it's not too hot today!
