The land will be sold to a chinese holding company,the present owner will take the money and run.Just another side effect from covid 19.Dont you just love China.
I’m curious as to where Engine 215 is getting its water from, in order to supply Ladder 15, as well as the two hand lines. Is there a hydrant on that elevated section of the freeway?
. . . the FFs besides the ramp on the right side would have needed maybe one additional lane of 5 totally available lanes - naaahhhh they blocked 4 lanes - even after the fire was almost completely under control . . .
@@charlesrudish9147 Spot on my friend. There is no way those crews should be standing in those openings with the whole roof gone and nothing to really support those walls. If any of those walls collapses they are dead. Real stupidity.

I don’t understand why we don’t do what they do overseas. When a building is lost and this one certainly is... bring in a dozer and plow a hole for access and push in wall to smother fire. The water is shooting straight over the structure and not touching it for at least one line.
The lack of dark smoke, indicates that most of the fire is out and flammable liquids are producing the flames. The only SAFE solution is to continue the water to prevent reignition of the structure while the liquids burn away. The use of foam to smother the liquid fire, would create a death trap, ready to reignite, possibly explosively as soon as the foam broke down. Flammable liquids and gasses in a situation like this are only safe once they have burnt. When you think about it carefully, you will understand why. It is the same reason that when gas is burning on a fire ground, it is NEVER put out until the supply is cut off and only the exposures to the gas flame are protected. This prevents a build up of gas that would result in an explosion. Firefighting in an industrial situation requires a lot of science that is not obvious to the onlooker. Burying the problem in a pile of rubble won't make it go away.
The uncontrolled monitor blowing over the building is a hazard to anyone on the other side. With that many personnel on scene, you'd think they'd have a spotter.
The street where the building is located is called "Washington". I am surprised that the city council allowed the fire department to begin to fight the fight before they could change the name.
Thats a trip... the building to left with the "Hopes" tagging. Some homeless guy electrocuted himself... also the building thats inflame had some old metro bus and some old train too that was tagged up
I work down the street. Homeless people have camps set up all over and they’ve been starting fires recently to stay warm as well as to “evict” people they don’t want around anymore. Also, all of these buildings have tons of extremely flammable materials. They’ve had us start walking all the way out of the parking lot and down the street to smoke cigarettes. That’s how flammable the materials are in this area! 😬
In Mesquite Texas you by law have to be fifty feet from any commercial building to smoke It's for health reasons for those few who still smoke not to feed smoke to those who don't plus non smokers don't have to smell it going into a store.
I would have been concerned about the firefighters next to the brick wall.. seems dangerous and foolish to risk life for a vacant building... but thanks for sharing this.. Robert New Jersey here pine barrens
The building was a total loss from the start, so why close down all but 1 lane of the freeway? I would have to think if they were concerned about the freeway, they could have protected that from below the freeway.
Yeah maybe that towere cou7lod have taken up 2 less lanes of the freeway, but they are used to having ALL of the streets to themselves when on scene in town. about the only thing I saw for the obligatory nitpick.
LA has what, the 2nd, 3rd largest department in the US? They sure look like an old school department. Lots of old school tiller type Arial ladders instead of Bucket and Tower ladders. I also feel sorry for them having to carry around full size fire axes on their belts. That's really got to be a pain in the ass, and actually somewhat dangerous. It's not like they don't have enough to carry around. Just saying. Man, look at that backed up traffic. I just can't imagine wanting to live in a place like this.
What is all that water that they're standing in that's leaking out of the hoses when they can be putting that on the fire and you notice that they're overshooting they always have to have a long string of water come out of them hoses they need to flare it out to where it actually go into the fire to put it out I've said this before on other channels but the technology we have the day why can't they use hoses that don't leak why don't they have water canyon cannons on the trucks like they do at the airports it takes them too long to get them ladder trucks in the air and start pumping water on that they need to find out some other kind of solution to put the empires out quicker
@@perrysims3320 I cant be jealous of all the shitty roads our taxes go to, all the needles thrown in the street, and the feces. No way am I jealous of homeless camps and rampant criminals looting and attacking innocent people in the name of "peaceful protesting"
It's a weed shop it belonged to the governor that's right you heard me it belong to the governor oh y'all didn't know my bad why don't you ask mr. Floozy what was that all about
I am extremely glad I moved out of LA many years ago. The shots of that traffic give me chills.
Amazing how brick walls hold in the fire and a lot of heat. Great video. Thank you.
This is a good spot for a new condo..im sure they new this ahead of time....land is worth more with nothing on it......build on my friend...

a homeless dude lit the fire .. i was there painting the walls when it happened. . we had to run .

What a huge fire. Over 100 men involved. And it seemed to keep burning for a long time. Luckily it was vacant. Man, that traffic though...
Lots of spontaneous insurance combustion these days.
As always - incredible coverage. Thank You for sharing.
Ok, awesome coverage & great job by the boys.
thanks to all 1st responders
I don’t like having the firefighters in the collops zone with that much fire it is a vacant building surround and drown .
exactly!
@@barbannco For such a large department, they sure do a lot of old school stuff. I suspect really old leadership.

Don't know if there is a basement. Also that's not safe at all. They have this fire under control.

Big fire needs big water , that baby is rocking
Los angeles has a lot of reclaim water...dookie water, its not drinkable
Fortunately the "Graff' was saved !
That's a 5 alarm

They said this was a production prop house. Which is sad, those places are very valuable here in Los Angeles.
Not THAT valuable. Most of the studios store their props on-site. Still...it's a damned shame.

Update January 5th, 2021 - "People are still backed up the freeway trying to get home".
The building was a total loss from the start, so why close down all but 1 lane of the freeway? I would have to think if they were concerned about the freeway, they could have protected that from below the freeway.
Stay off the 10 freeway folks
With all the restaurants suffering because of C-19 now here's 1 who's losing their to fire.
Unless they've burned it for profit.
...for profit??? Surely not....
this is my school I'm not sure if the fire spread to my school
Don't forget the gastro pub, and the small market on the first floor...
Some ones "Stash " went up in Flames 🤔😂
Be careful with the fires ok

Looks like someone's stash went up in flames says it in graffiti on wall 😆
Thats what i said 😂
Very sad... wonder what happened.. .
Everyone is moving out of LA except the homeless....high taxes,crime,and very few jobs....what a shame.
That's insane you don't see fires like that much anymore at least some small town or County I live in
keep moving my fallow fire fighters
Pretty big fire 🔥 saw this on 📺
They need help with the traffic.

They need bucket or tower not tillers
Are you suggesting “quints”?
Omg I'm just now seeing this.
All the stash burned up!
They can’t see that blaze
This is an unoccupied building that was being used for storage.
That traffic, tho...
Is it just me or does Cali seem to be always blazing either natural or domestic & there usually mystery on the source.
That's a weed growing place
Lot of people got high
U joking or is it? I'm in UK an luv me weed lol
@@malingram3451 alot of those old warehouses are growing houses just playing my odds
It's a total loss.
why not get a water tanker come in? job done !!!!
Is it true that the L A F D had to have Units from L A County F D assist them?
Probaboy tbh. That's a huge fire with a lot of man power and water needed
apakah setiap kebakaran harus menggunakan mobil tangga ya pak?
Meth lab for sure 💯
YAWN…
I don't understand why they don't bring in one of those copters they use on there forest fires out there, one, two buckets done deal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL always something happening in Los Angeles
Just like in New York City. Everything is always happening.
Wow...at least they saved the foundation while creating a backup several miles (and hours) long. Sooo....good job LAFD? o_O
Looks like graffiti central to me.
Was this a multiple alarm fire or a 5th alarm structure fire?
Not sure but I know it had multiple departments
