Class 1 is essentially an insurance rating. The ISO is the leading supplier of statistical, underwriting, and actuarial information to the casualty insurance industry. The LAFD was one of the first department's to be issued a Class 1 designation. Fewer than 60 agencies nationwide have earned that honor. If the Fire Department has a Class 1 rating, then insurance rates would benefit. Today, Class 1 is no longer officially in effect. But, the LAFD keeps the stickers on! It's great PR.
Very interesting video, I liked it. It describes very well how tough the firemen's job is.
i saw that same truck on the freeway a few days ago and she's such a beauty. =]
this and part one are such great insights to firefighting, i love it all.
Greez from The FDNY Ladder 4 Midtwon Manhatten to Los Angeles Breavest God bless these guys and their rigs on every run !
great video. i heard about the documentary a couple months ago and im totally stoked on it.
that USAR rig is friggin kick ass
Leather looks cool, but is better suited to cold climates. The plastic helmets used weigh much less, are just as strong, if not stronger (opinion), and are better suited for wildfire and TA assignments.
Thanks for the great video man! - PEACE from Norway
Superb video footage.
Great Videos. Hope to see more soon.
Very cool... More raw footage please.
@dmta Good comment - but leather is too heavy when fighting fire and wildfire in the heat of the west coast.
LA has some really nice trucks MAN OH MAN
good video!! You guys earned your money on that hot, valley summer day! Was Brian Humphrey the PIO on that assignment?
nice video,saludos from puerto rico fire deparment
Many of us watching these kind of videos would love to know the causes of these fires to further our own knowledge and maybe help ourselves to better understand fire behavior and the dangers knowing various causes I think would help greatly
@pigjubby The LAFD is not Class 1. The ISO rating is related to the cost of insurance ratings, and the application to a fire agency is old fashioned and inaccurate. Your statements regarding firefighting ability have nothing to do with ISO and Class 1. It is a fire prevention and cost issue. The LAFD is considered to be one of the top five firefighting agencies for a city over one million in population.
what were the sparks from?
I've never understood, why is there class 1 written on the engine??
At 2:09 is that the electrics causing that?
What caused that fire then?
Aren't all Fires EMERGENCIES?
@LAFD027 if they have a wildland, just do what we do here in mass. take off our leathers, and put on a wildland helmet
