I believe it is called a light force which is a ladder truck and engine operating as a single unit. You usually see a ladder company firefighter with a saw cross cutting to open the hood, but apparently not needed here.
It’s NOT about the ladder! The ladder truck has extra personnel and carries a lot of extra equipment / tools, if needed. Due to its articulation, a ladder truck also makes a good ‘fend off’ for scene protection.
It could be that the closest station was a light force station. No engine assigned to it. Not every house in la is a task force station (engine, light force, als rescue)
A fire extinguisher would have taken care of it,instead of wasting too much time to put on gear and taking turns on applying water with hose....1 to 10 give them a 4
the way an aaa ad showed up after this
There is no more hope when AAA rigs start catching on fire!
Probably a battery and fuel in the back or something.
Oh my gosh that truck is on fire
awesome catch of la's finest L.A.F.D.
I've never understood why they send a ladder truck to a car fire in the uk you get an engine

Probably this truck is a 2018 or 2019 Ford f150
Nice catch, stay safe
Hope they got the help they needed.

It would also help if they didn't "parade pack" the hose.
The truck is a Ford F-150
