LAFD Greater Alarm Fire: Abandoned Health Care Facility
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Los Angeles Fire Department companies (+Culver City) responded to a reported structure at the intersection of Venice Blvd and Glendon Ave in 43's first in.
Engine 62 was first on scene and reported heavy smoke showing from a two story vacant board-up medical care facility, initiating an offensive attack. The fire was located on the second floor which had also established itself in the attic space.
Companies continued their interior attack for about twenty minutes. The IC, Venice IC eventually pulled all companies off the roof and out of the structure for firefighter safety. Two additional task forces were requested. Multiple ladder pipes were established, wagon batteries and a few large hand lines were put into effect. A half dozen transients in a motorhome adjacent to the structure were removed. The roof eventually collapsed with no injuries as a result of a collapse zone being established and due to LAFD's defensive posture.
Knockdown was called about two hours later. Squad 95 was called to the scene for the possibility of leftover medical equipment in the structure and an Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team assessed the integrity of the structure. It is unknown what caused this fire, the area is known to a large number of transients.

I like the way LAFD’s vehicles are so clean. By that I mean, free of slogans, artwork, mottos, mascots etc. The same applies to the members’ headgear.
As a comparison, some aspects of FDNY can look really shambolic and unprofessional.
8:40, what an awesome shot of the Firefighters and the ladder sticks as well as the fire itself. Awesome footage!!
Thanks!
Arizona fire buff Check out Jeff stang fire Marcal paper factory p4 inferno 10 alarm unbelievable a must see wow.
Nice use of turntables, got some guts to go up that ladder to use that hose. Respect from the UK
Great job LAFD really like those trucks, they were setup perfectly. Surround and drown. Got the blue stuff on the red stuff! Great camera work.
I simply do not understand why LA City does not have pre-piped water pipes on their ladders. The manufacturing process allows for the pre-piped aerials that are not in the way when doing a rescue. BUT the 10 minutes it takes to set up master streams at an out of control fire is simply ridiculous. The fire fighters deserve the best equipment, the fire chief and city leaders need to fix this issue.
It's beautiful seeing the way they do ladder pipe operations in Los Angeles. Surrounding the structure with ladders in the air.
Back in 1950 maybe... They need to upgrade to 1st world equipment...
@@ffjsb dude you obviously don't know what your talking about ....
@@ffjsb LAFD does it all. 2nd busiest department in the nation. You’re clueless
Yea but I don’t understand why they don’t have pre piped waterways ?? Different places different flavors . And being the 2nd busiest doesn’t really mean much more than they run 98% medical calls and are busy with those more than fires. They do run a massive amount of calls but it’s a huge city . I’m sure it’s tuff at some of the busier houses . Stay safe brothers
If only someone would invent a Tower Ladder.....
I can't believe how clean & shiny those trucks are! We always washed & waxed our trucks, but they would get dirty, dents, dings, and scratched up very fast! I guess the narrow pot-hole urban streets of the north-east really take their toll on the apparatus? We did get a lot of jobs too!
Thats what happens when theres 0 salt on the roads in the winter and hardly any rain! They get some serious longevity out of rigs out there.
Ya these trucks that stay in the city usually stay really nice but if you would get a close up look at the type 3 engines that we use for wildland firefighting those things get lots of dents and scratches
I spent a week with the LAFD a few years back. I was under the trucks with a brush along with the whole shift. Polishing a rig was a constant job.
@@hihfty I'm retired LAFD you are incorrect.... all engineers, apparatus operators and firefighters on Rescues and Staff Assistants take pride in their rigs. There safety checks every morning, cleaned daily major weekly checks and annual checks. I should also state we have two fire department auto shops one downtown and one in the San Fernando Valley and they do an outstanding job keeping the fleet first rate. Los Angeles County runs similar to us.
@@davidraya8760 Which is the absolute bare minimum that any department with pride does to there rigs. We all wax and maintain our fleets. But Its not even up for discussion that road salt in the north east states absolutely wreak havoc on rig maintenance and paint repair. In Boston during the winter after every call the truck has to be hosed off because the salt build up is so bad. Trucks in the rust belt states simply do not last or look as good as trucks in California.
It was amazing how you showed me by video how FF were afar
Great video, good footage! Great job LAFD 🚒 & Culver City 🚒👍👍
Agreed. Thanks
Beautiful footage. All that tiller and monitor work gave me a goofy grin 🤪
Very effective use of pipes...thats what got this fire pit out quickly
Not when you have to hand assemble the water way...
Excellent job bro!
Thanks dude
Spectular Footage and Coverage!👍
Thank you
@@310fire You're Welcome!
They have so many firemen and trucks on the scene but no water being spray right away.
I wonder why the ladder trucks are not pre set up with water canons , so when needed just run a hose to the truck & it's ready to go.
they are stuck in the stone age, they think ladder pipes work.
@@paser11385 ok know it all
Impressive catch 🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒🚒Thank you for sharing
Thank you. Anytime
What a beautiful engine London
Awesome work!! You just didn’t focus the camera on the flames. loved seeing the LA equipment and operations.
I live in a small mountain town in NY State. It would be so brutal for a fire fighter on those ladders at - 20 degrees! We have 2 tower ladders that cost us a fortune but were deemed the best even though our streets are the pits to navigate in winter.
What town is it?
@@kam164 In the Adirondacks...Thats as close as its going to get!! Lol
Oh cool I live near Albany!
In colonie
I tend to believe that having members standing on top of the sticks is unnecessarily dangerous. That would have been more safely attacked using tower ladders. Having that deck to stand on, and being prepped, would be much safer, and quicker to get water on the fire.
Moral of the story: don’t give us oral pain! 😂
Haha!
Question... Why are the ladder pipes not fixed? Is there an advantage that I'm not aware of? My department and departments around always have fixed ladder pipes as opposed to portable pipes.
What’s the point of wearing a PASS alarm if no one is going to react to them?
None of us ever react to them. OSHA required.... no one pays attention to them.
@@kellyj5389 um no. You should be trained to react to them. When it goes off it’s treated seriously. You should be disciplined enough to catch it before it goes into “full alarm”. It’s laziness to ignore it. Also added stress.
Another great video thanks brother 🚒🧑🚒🇺🇸
Thanks for watching!
Seems to take way to long to get lladders setup and water flowing. Not sure or understand why they do not have pre plumb sticks on ladder?
Something I've never understood is why don't the LAFD have even a single tower ladder? They're so much more versatile for fires like this!
I'm with you on this one. Platform tower will be better.
someone said they dont have those because the streets are to narrow for them..i dont get that.
@@soccerboy22100 I'd understand if it were someplace like Boston or an old East Coast city, but LA doesn't really have a lot of narrow streets. And they should at LEAST have a pre-piped waterway on their tiller ladders. Platforms are easier to de rescue off of too. Wooden ladders, little 5" LDH... 1950 wants their firefighting equipment back...
@@ffjsb hey i agree with you but tell that to whoever orders la fire trucks and the idiot who told them the streets are to narrow
@@ffjsb LA has a lot of narrow streets and shit traffic. Tillers are also a heap quicker to set up and manoeuvre on the scene meaning that time is critical. Tillers are there preferred choice in LA. Do your research my dude, it’ll help you form good arguments
if i was command I would've had the ladder trucks in different spots away from the high power lines. But do like the placement of truck 61
They get the power turned off….
good job.
No windows to break. Bummer.
nice footage bud 👌
I just can’t figure out why Los Angeles has no tower ladders and only ladder trucks. Someone tell me I’d love to know
Not a FireFighter, but my opinion is that Los Angeles has very small streets. It needs a tiller operator, to maneuver in those narrow areas. That’s why it’s handy. Also having some tall buildings.
Several departments in Southern California did have have tower ladders, but got rid of them. They found that they lacked the versatility that ladder trucks have.
@@onthewater4189 Fair enough, but could they at least buy pre plumbed ladders - setting up the master streams the manual way wastes time
LAFD have a policy of ignoring PASS? Do they not have a 1 button reset that takes 0.5 seconds to press?
You just need to keep moving and it'll reset itself
Is it really the most common way to put out fires in the states ? Just filling up the building with water ? Hard to believe, but its what most firevideos are showing.. Stay safe guys.
How many of those abandoned building fires are started by homeless people breaking into them and starting them
Most of them anyways.
why take so long get water going???
boggles my mind that in this day and age LA does not have prepiped arials..waste of time screwing around with attaching hoses and appliances, not to mention no baskets, no prepiped air, no pump. A multi million dollar truck that carries a ladder. waste of money
Salute to you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
all those sticks in the air..........super cool!!!
It was a cool sight.
Great footage😊
luis100roblox emergency news. Check out Jeff stang fire Marcal paper factory inferno p4 10 alarm unbelievable a must see wow.
lots of heavy hitting with the towers !
This sht pisses me off !
Someone trying to collect the insurance, while putting our best and bravest lives in danger😡
Unfortunately happens way to damn often.
LA City is a great place to shoot fires... LAPD doesn't come and micromanage the situation like other smaller cities (and LASD) who have nothing to do
Is there a reason the 2 trucks their setting up for master stream ops around the 3:00 mark are short jacked off the passenger side?
You could short jack on the side opposite to the fire building. I don't why they did because they had plenty of room to extend them. It's not like they setup the Aerial pipe that fast.
How much water are they pumping through those ladder hoses?
Sounds like a PAR needs to be called ASAP!
the hose is leaking
Americans Had the Best FireTruck , Fire Equipments and Firemen in the World 👍 Salute 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌
New normal.
Anyone else see the firefighter crawl underneath the ladder as the operator was letting it down? This was in the beginning
yeah 0:39 weird
No Covid left in there.
That’s a bummer about the PASS alert being ignored
I thought La Fire department had tower ladders
Nope
@@pas42hfd on the show Emergency they did have them
@@drewconway4362 Emergency was LA County, this was LA City.
Fire depts that i know of, do not charge for there service, which is a huge blessing, because sht happens at times without our knowledge or control, but this abandoned facility i would have broke the bill off in their ass 👍
6 trucks doing work
Oh shit! Across the street is a great Brazilian pizza place
Wth is Brazillian Pizza?..lol
@@rdety its just a pizza place owned by Brazilians its really good
I lost 10 lbs seeing the video.
What do the different color Helmet color stand for? also, many West Coast Fire Departments use Wooden ground ladders?
Yellow firefighter or engineer/AO. Orange: captain. White: some sort of chief. Blue: Some type of EMS personnel such as an ambulance operator.
I believe that LAFD has a tradition of using wooden ladders while other departments use aluminum ladders.
@@310fire Los angeles no longer use Blue as far as i am aware please correct me if i am wrong
Al's chicken is certainly hot today.
9:10 What rôle does a blue helmet signify?
In this case ambulance operator/ EMT.
Surround and drown. Nice job!
Fire 61
Can't be too bad of a fire. Lot's of Fire Fighters standing around doing nothing. Since a exterior attack no need for RIT. Get to work or go home.
Hold the phone everyone, the expert has arrived!
They are still needed to do interior clean up and overhaul
ホースの水漏れ直して欲しいよな。穴ひとつでかなり水圧下がってるはず。
Can I have some water?
How to speed up and a obtain a more easy demolition, let fire and fd do the hard work, earning money from insurance
I'm just not a big fan of tillers.
They're ok if you spec them right, no waterway make them 1950's tech.
@@ffjsb most of the tillers in these videos are LA’s truck company’s, they running as a straight stick meaning no hose or water. They also roll with an engine company. Given all of your comments, you don’t have much of an idea of LA’s fire fleet and how it works
@@ourmilotin2819 As they do in new york, however there's are pre piped. The trouble is no one wants to tell LAFD that there is a better way and if they are LAFD ain't listening
@@nphil93992 are you talking quints or ladder trucks?
@@timothyreed8417 well, most of our aerial Ladder platforms do not have on board pumps so they would be equivalent to you tower ladders.
