- Los Angeles Fire Department Light Force 94 was initially dispatched alone to a rubbish fire on the 4400 blk. of S. Crenshaw Blvd. at 00:24 hours. While enroute, their incident was upgraded to a structure fire.
Units assigned: AR2 CM22 BC4 BC5 BC705 BC11 BC13 BC18 TF10 TF26 TF27 TF61 TF66 TF94 LF11 LF15 LF21 LF95 LF92 E1 E3 E13 E14 E34 E46 E64 E68 E209 HR3 UR27 UR88 EM1 EM9 EM11 RA15 RA27 RA34 RA66 RA246 RA266 PI1 HE1 EA1 RT83
LF94 was first on scene of a two-story commercial building (200 x 100, two separate businesses) with fire through the roof and requested additional resources. Personnel began the firefight in offensive mode, attacking the blaze from the interior. However, heavy fire load and difficulty accessing the source of the fire forced companies out of the building, off the roof, and into a defensive posture.
One firefighter was injured (non-life threatening) when a roll-up door collapsed on him, he was transported by RA34.
Knockdown was called in 90 minutes with 160 personnel, an adjacent three story commercial building was exposed but was sustained no extensive damage. LAFD Arson conducted an investigation.
Crews were on scene throughout the morning for an extensive overhaul operation and extinguishing remaining hot spots.
Location: Leimert Park / South Central, Los Angeles, CA

Love all you experts watching a video. You crack me up with the size of your ego's.
I've been fighting fire for almost 40 years. Other than watch some episodes of Chicago Fire, what have YOU done??
33 years in the fire service.
6=?
On UA-cam is so easy to run a fire. I can claim whatever I want and no one will know. Of course if I am there in reality, I might get overwhelmed.
lafd got some great firefighters & officers, but most fires in L.A it seems to be common practice, wait till the last minute to set up ladder pipes that take forever to setup, and having ladder pipes unmanned the stream is hitting one spot doing jack shit, it's seen time and time again, but thats just my opinion brother, be safe!!
God bless all the firefighters. My sister-in-law just graduated firefighter training in Washington State
Okay
is she going Join the SFD ?
wow, that’s amazing
Awesome footage, keep up the great work!!!
That is why you NEVER go under partially opened and unsecured roll up doors, ESPECIALLY those that have been exposed to kind of high heat... What goes up, WILL come down!
I was surprised they didn't secure the overhead door with a brace or rip it away
God bless all American firefighter and give all American firefighter strength and force Amen ❤️✝️🙏❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️🇺🇲❤️
Amazing coverage.
Tremendous Footage and Coverage!👍👏
Apparently the delay in getting water on the fire was 3 dry hydrants, so I’m told by someone who was there working on an Engine.
Great footage nice work
Nothing gets me harder than an awesome structure fire! Pulled my first person out of one last month! Kindaish anyway. The dude was up top on the 2nd level (unconscious). We did a S&R -- Found him and tossed him out on a ladder LOL. Shit gets my heart racing just thinking about it! Too bad our Fire Department doesn't have these kinds of resources... We're always running short :/
Thank you my favorite
Awesome footage! Stay safe
thanks man! you too
Stay safe everyone
Man that was some good footage
appreciated, thank you!
Squad & Engine 51 could have had that out within 51 seconds
@ 1:52 the firefighter with a 2 1/2" line asks for water.... NOTHING for at least 2 mins... Not impressed with LA City ops- They have more personnel responding to structure fires than most Departments have in total and most of the LA City crews are standing around. Class 1 my ass.
Breaking News has just come in! The Entire LAFD has just Resigned,including the Chief!😳The City of Los Angeles is Now without Fire Protection! But they have a Savior,and it's you!😀Quick check your messages because the LA Mayor is trying to contact you😵You will be the New LAFD Fire Chief as well as the Only Fire Instructor at the LA Fire Academy! To think of all the fires the LAFD has fought and yet they didn't know what they were doing,Amazing😲/😄😆😅🤣😂
@@malcolmcossar6447 My first memo will be to all Station Captains to have Engineers work on field hydraulics and apparently more wet drills...That is all for now.
@@hankgs All for Now? In my case It' all period.You sound like you're firefighter,and if you you are I feel Sorry for your community and if you're an indication of what type of Firefighters we have in this country who have attitudes then you sure as Hell won't be getting much support from the citizens when you bitch about your contract,equipment,and everything else under the sun😒

Yep!
Incredible vid, love the radio traffic, great work, stay safe.
Nice catch

The building is abandoned it used to be the comedy act theatre way back in the day also probably a night club as well now it’s a goner
Just wondering why you spend lots of money on a ladder truck and you don't plumb it for water. It would take less time to get water on the fire.
The most likely reason is that, if a pre-piped waterway become damaged or inoperable, the apparatus is out of service for a few weeks for it's $80,000 repair. If a ladder pipe becomes damaged or inoperable, the department orders a replacement for about $1,500.
@@mackflickerson6722 Where are you getting 80K from???? You don't have to replace the entire waterway most of the time. Usually the biggest problems are blown seals.
@@ffjsb You've got all the answers. Pre-pipe those waterways for days.
Damage due to a strike of the appliance isn't fixed by changing seals.
Our department throws aerials about 10 times a day. We have a mix of pre-piped and ladder pipes. We're transitioning back to ladder pipes due to trouble making some throws because of the appliance.
Proper training can make attaching the ladder pipe extraordinary efficient.
But again, you do you.
Awesome video! I'm curious though why a department that size doesn't have prepiped waterways on their tillers?
The most likely reason is that, if a pre-piped waterway become damaged or inoperable, the apparatus is out of service for a few weeks for it's $80,000 repair. If a ladder pipe becomes damaged or inoperable, the department orders a replacement for about $1,500.
And the other reason is that the primary purpose of aerial ladders in cities like LA is not to establish elevated master streams (about 30%), but instead to access roofs and elevated positions for rescue and ventilation (about 70%). The aerial needs to be extended about 12' to create a situation where the appliance at the end of a pre-piped waterway is not longer interfering with the end of the ladder. In many cases, 12' of extension isn't possible, so the appliance would prevent the aerial from being effectively for this purpose.
@@mackflickerson6722 I can understand to an extent on what your saying but usually the nozzle is not all the way to the end of the ladder anyways. I don't see any other big city like NY for example that doesn't have tillers without pre piped water ways. Just seems it be taxing to carry hose all the way the ladder.
@@equipment-enthusiast typically the hose used to assemble the ladder pipe, and the pipe appliance itself, are stored on the deck of the cabinets immediately next to the aerial, so it's not very long to carry anything.
On a pre-piped waterway, the nozzle appliance rests immediately below the tip of the aerial when the aerial is fully retracted, making is cumbersome to position the tip of the aerial in a window or at a roof ledge.
Also, since you keep citing FDNY, I think you'd find that, with the exception of the tower ladders, none of FDNY's ladders are pre-piped.
@@mackflickerson6722 Well you're supposed to train your firefighters so that the waterway doesn't get damaged...
The time it takes them to set up a ladder pipe is excruciatingly long. And with the number of large flat roofed buildings, quick aerial streams are a must. LA doesn't have many platforms, if they have any at all. Reminds me of 1970's tactics...
Why does it seem that LA has such poor water pressure? I see these guys with the lines barely making it 30 feet in a lot of videos... Is this due to the supply to the engine being that low that the engine can't pump it fast enough to pressurize it? Or is this the engines themselves?
One thing about the la fire departments is they are great at getting big water to the fire really really fast. So you know something had to be wrong with the water supply.
Why did you edit out the part when the door comes down on the FF, then his buddies were shown rescuing him?? That was an exciting scene!! I hope he wasn't injured bad!
i didn't see it happen, i was on the alpha side of the structure getting photos of forcible entry at the time.
the spirit of the firefighters, may you always be healthy and protected by the almighty god
great aggressive firefighters, ladder pipes are just trash, great vid stay safe!!
Did it come out later what was burning like hell inside? Really looks spooky. And of course godd luck to the injured fireman!
Good jobs
Bring in the 'dozers - LA has another parking lot.
Lol
Lol
True, but they also lost some low-income housing..
Hard work
"LAFD is awful. How'd they ever get Class-1 status. Look. They're all using saws I instead of water."
*hits the squelch button on Minitor 3*
"Nothing yet."
Says the guy who's only two videos on youtube are videos of radio traffic....
@@ffjsb you're right. I should try harder.
You are very funny, but no knowledge of firefighting tactics
Like a well oiled machine.
Man on power saw no face protection.
Metro is very annoying with the time when they know that this incident is a confirmed structure fire that will last hours in fighting. They keep asking for updates. The Command staff has more issues with fighting this fire then telling metro what's going on with the incident. Is metro not monitoring the frequency?
on every structure fire, Metro lets the incident commander know how much time is on the incident clock at least every 10 mins., this helps IC know how much progress has been made in whatever amount of time has passed, usually once Metro does an incident clock check, the IC will give another update/ask for additional resources in return.
Yeah they do the same thing here where I'm at every 10 minutes so let the Incident Commander know
@@Maizefire tub
It is a way to help the IC break out of target fixation and reassess. It is easy to get wrapped up in the task and lose track of time. About the second/ third check it is time to request the air filling trucks and other auxiliaries because the trucks are going to be starting into their second bottles- other similar aids.
Why does the radio traffic keep saying the cross streets are Crenshaw and Brynhurst Ave when the actual cross street is Vernon Ave/Angelus Vista Blvd.
the actual cross street was Crenshaw x Vernon.
@@FB1ResponseVideos exactly, Vernon Ave is right there, and Vernon Ave turns into Angelus Vista Blvd going through Windsor Hills going to Slauson Ave. Brynhurst Ave runs north and south through the residential neighborhood. That's weird.
It seems to take 10 minutes to get one of these ladder trucks ready. How can they be class 1?
ISO class ratings don't mean shit. It doesn't tell how your Department REALLY operates and is only paperwork bullshit. My dept is a class 1 and all of our trucks and equipment are literally falling apart and barely running. Its a way for our politicians to stroke their egos.
god bless fire departments that operate tower ladders and uses them aggressively, ladder pipes are ridiculous,
I agree, it seems they are not ready or just take way to long to get it set up. It almost looks like they are confused
Not a firefighter what is class 1??
Is FDNY considered class 1??
Work a truck company in LA and find out. Until then, fuck your condesending horseshit.
Wow
Hej jag heter Martin och bor i Skåne som ligger i Sverige 🇸🇪 jag jag vill undrar hur hur mycket loft ett i luften ringa
Disorganized. Took forever to get those ladder lines up
Bravissimi ❤👏👏👏👏👍❤️💪💪💪💪🇮🇪
Seems like some firefighters with thick tongues just walk around and talk into their mc's while the rest do the heavy work. A friend of mine wonders whats up.
If You're talking about the ones with the orange helmets those are Captain's and the captains are the ones who control of the radio traffic while there crew work on the fires that's the way La works the ones with the white helmets are Chiefs they are the incident Commanders
Not sure why anyone is upset… in contrast to many of the YT videos out there, this looked like an aggressive attack and everyone knew what they were doing. I really thought they had it there for a bit. I wonder why the roof went up so fast?
Also, who the hell owns these buildings? I guess they just bailed and let people paint “happy” graffiti all over them? No clue what’s happened to LA and SFO. 🤦♂️
Not a firefighter what is class 1?.
Is FDNY considered class 1?.
Why does lafd have no tower ladders like FDNY???
So class one is a insurance thing so basically insurance companies rate fire departments throughout the United States and it's actually a very small number fire departments that are considered class 1 and the last time I checked FDNY was not class one and let me put this in a better way so everyone can understand class one basically means that have fire department has more chances of saving your home but that's just in the insurance company's eyes and also insurance companies will charge cheaper rates for when you live in a Class 1 fire department area if I'm correct also to answer the question on lafd using tillers instead of towers the tillers are a lot more better for the streets of LA do to them having a bunch of one-way streets as well and FDNY has both towers and tillers.
Oh and to also add there's only three hundred fire departments in the United States that are considered class 1 so not every Fire Department in the u.s. is considered class 1 but again that's just insurance company looking at that doesn't necessarily mean that the fire department won't do a good job and saving your home
@@Maizefire There's an easy way around the tight one way streets, put a steer axle on the back of the tower ladder, or go for smaller vehicles.
Class 1 means a firefighting apparatus that the NFPA considers to be fully equipped for structural firefighting. For example, for an engine to be Class 1, it needs to be capable of carrying 4 firefighters and their equipment, have a minimum 300 gallon tank and 1000 gallon-per-minute pump, plus minimums for hose, ground ladders, saws and other equipment. A Class 2 engine is usually built on a commercial rather than custom chassis, and only needs to be capable of carrying 3 FFs and pump 300 GPM. Class 3 and 4 are wildland firefighting trucks and need bigger tanks but less hose. Classes 5, 6, and 7 are medium and light duty brush trucks.
Lots of west-coast departments use straight stick tillers because 1: Tillers are longer, so they may not fit in stations built on small plots of land; on the west coast this is less of an issue. Tillers also have more storage compartment space.
Straight ladders are also easier to maneuver between power lines and other aerial obstructions, which are less likely to be buried than on the east coast
What happened to the injured firefighter?
Door fell on him
Rolling steel door collapsed on him, injuring him. Transported to nearby local hospital.
Why did they dispatch HR3 to a structure fire?
Heavy Rescue 3 is attached to all greater alarm and major emergency structure fires as apart of the USAR RIC group.
It's better to have them there just in case stuff does happen such as a building collapse and firefighters are trapped they can already be there to use the tools that have to save them
@@Maizefire Flag on play, just to clarify we are talking about their Peterbilt Heavy Wrecker right? Because when I googled LAFD HR3 that's what comes up and that's what I was confused with why they would send a wrecker to a fire.
HR3 personnel cannot get paid overtime if they're not directly involved in fire suppression, so they're attached to every greater alarm/major emergency, cause that counts.
@@c.williams7042 yes it's not a tow truck though
Omg
Diesel powered pumps
Took ladder 94 Ladder 15 way too long to get set up that's unnecessary
Try to fight that with a garden hose.
Gonna see a lot more vacants burn as covid real estate crisis gets worse. Retail, office, apartments, private dwellings.
What is the advantage of using wooden ladders?
Chris Barr Its a tradition that LAFD uses wooden ladders and according to their website, the ladders do not weaken when expose to heat. Also they do not conduct electricity.
Ridiculous wow long it takes to plumb a no quint tiller
How could you miss the wall falling in.
It's videos like this that make me strongly believe that LAFD can learn a loooooooooot from FDNY.
I agree NYFD has it down
My birthday is feb 9, ihope someone here give me a fire fighting gear specially fire helmet for my fire brigade here in phillipines! I appropriately accept it even if the item is 2nd hand or unused ppe
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Hmmmmm that’s very convenient that building was on fire I surly hope on seen command contacted Arson.
Could be homeless people in there… but yeah, it just screamed fed-up property owner to me as well lol.
Вся Америка на тушении пожара .
So disorganised, so many people milling about not sure what they're doing or waiting on someone to tell them, meanwhile they never get to the fire before its totally out of control. Thank god its not like that in the UK
No your fire service would rather have people stay in the burning building and die rather than get the hell out. Read the description it clearly stated there were water pressure issues. Have you ever tried to fight a fire without a strong water stream and bear in mind the fire load in the structure further preventing effective entrance and locating the seat of the fire. There were several issues these firefighters had to overcome. If all you are going to do is criticize everything you think they did wrong like so many other self proclaimed armchair experts here, might I then suggest you not watch these videos. Do you honestly think snide comments are going to somehow endear you to the people who watch and enjoy these videos and especially to American viewers you limey bastard. Two words about your wonderful fire service in the U.K. GRENFELL TOWER.
4 lines in ONE doorway, with an unsecured fire damaged roll up door. Why? Just WHY???? Instead of having one, maybe two on the line, how about having a couple of guys pulling extra line up. And somebody secure the damn door before people go under it.
To the one guy trying to kick in a commercial door, ain't gonna work pal. Why is the guy with the saw working alone? Seems like everyone is just doing their own thing.
40 minutes into the fire, finally a master stream... SMH.
only thing I wondered was why the door wasn't secured, everything else, I don't know their SOPs. /shrug
