Firefighters were working to put out a huge blaze at a commercial building in El Sereno Thursday evening. Sky5 was overhead. Get the full story: ktla.com/news/local-news/crew...
@@DaleDix Money has no relevance once it's the law. They owners do not have a choice if the law says sprinkler systems must be retrofitted to older buildings.
There's gotta be some extremely flammable material stored in that warehouse to get that bad! Reminds me a bit of the Chemtool Plant blaze in Rockton, IL just a few months ago...
Thank you to all firefighters weather your paid or volunteer or a smoke jumper thank you again for your sacrifice time and dedication to your job and time away from your families and holidays
Thank you for a lot of long overall shots of the whole thing so we can see what is going on. Don't get to see that much. Usually we are looking at flames up close
One thing that I don't see is how a city can furnish that much water in one location. The water pipes are only so big and can only carry so much water. But it looks like it does work, I just don't see how.
Exactly, well said. I just realized how much potentially toxic waste gases they must have inhaled during the firefighting process. Hope they all stay well
There was another industrial fire at a pallet place in carson california, the day before. Another 2 in Compton back in Feb and March, I wonder if all 4 are linked as they are all within a 30 minute drive of each over. This one doesn't involve a pallet business.
That does not mean anything statistically, it is almost certain just random. Even if they were at the same day, it would mean much less than one would expect, this is called the birthday paradox. It looks would look like arson, but it is far less sure than it seems. (With four on one day far less is still very probable arson)
wouahou le dispositif est très impressionnant, c'est fantastique de voir un tel déploiement de sapeurs pompiers sur un incendie, bravo pour le courage de ces hommes vous êtes des héros les mecs !!!
The same is burned out, this fire extinguishing method is obviously ineffective, and the water spray with insufficient water to cool down causes more toxic gases to be emitted. Fire departments should strengthen research on effective fire extinguishing methods.
I like old live news coverage as background noise, but fire might be too stressful. So sad. The scale is big I could be sick. Hope no one was hurt. 😳🫣 Covered in goose bumps.
O hop very one is o.k Take care of yourself and be safe 💛Sandra s Thankyou for your time today And have a wonderful day 😊 good job keep up the good work to all.
As the fire is being brought under control, it's sounds strange but there's actually MORE smoke produced as the temperature is being reduced, so there's steam mixing with the smoke if you get what I mean
@@robhouston6861 the fire was never BROUGHT under control!!! It burned itself out!!! That's what happens when you have 10 lines hitting the same spot , not on the fuel or flame! You need to watch this again!!
Why does it always say "Crews" battle fire. Every news channel titles these segments as such. It should say "Firefighters" battle a fire. Just a very strange observation I keep noticing.
At the start of the video, the firefighter with the hoseline is, unfortunately, having no effect on this inferno. I hope the News Agency called 911 to report the brush fire.
Not often you see a fire Seen thats organized , Me and 11 other skydivers landed on seen to help out the first responders. We all took are iPhones for communication but they said LowBattery
Nothing but keyboard firefighters in the comment section. Summary so others don’t waste their time: “They ShoUld DrOp wateEr from AirPlane” “A hOmeLess dId it” “INSURANCE MONEY” “OmG weRe in a DrouGhT” “Did I mention, A homeless did it?”
Wow. Can the firefighters up on the ladders not see that their streams aren't hitting the hot spots or do they just not care? Water supply obviously is not an issue. No one seemed to notice or care about the hot spot to the left along the wall shared with the neighboring building. And at the beginning they appeared to be more concerned about the portion that had already burnt than they were about the area that was still raging and spreading down wind.
No firefighters at the top of the tower ladders. The hoses are controlled from the ground remotely. Believe me, the firefighters know where to direct the water stream . They have a much better ' Overview' of what part of the fire requires knocking down first, than you or I seeing this as a video image.
The idea is to protect against the fire spreading, not extinguishing with water. Fire needs 4 things, heat, fuel, oxygen and a chemical chain reaction. Allowing it to burn in the heavy fire area removes the fuel. Remember in California they will freak out about the water run off also. The hotter the fire the less pollution there is in the smoke.
I suppose it has been thought of, but why not a couple of helicopters with monsoon buckets to dump on this and similar fires? I see on the map that there are reservoirs within striking distance.
Even though they had pretty much all of the truck s and everything working on the main part of the fire, guessing they really weren't too worried about that smaller one that was burning next to the freeway.....
If it was just props lost and not other companies i have no pity they need to have this happen because if some actor used it or sat in it it is worth something so the movie industries take a loss big deal
I know that LA is a much bigger and busier department than mine, but as a 30-year fire service instructor I see something that concerns me. The fact the there are firefighters operating handlines within the collapse zone of what appears to be a now unsupported brick wall concerns me. There have been several firefighters killed in collapses of these walls in similiar situations, one being a collapse of a building in Lyndonville, VT when a St. Johnsbury firefighter was killed when the wall collapsed. The appreant lack of a collapse zone appears to me to be a major safety issue.
So call the fire departments involved. I'm sure those who deal with these kinds of fires hundreds of times a year would appreciate your expertise. Maybe they never thought of that.
@@dynodon331 Yeah well that's just it. LA seldom gets fires, especially huge blazes like this. I agree with Mr Callahan's assessment. The handlines aren't doing much good & the FFs are exposed inside the collapse zone. No one is going to save this structure. Put water on the exposures to prevent it from spreading. But do it safely.
My thoughts exactly. I mean , move the dam hoses around a little bit, spray the fuel and flames!! One ladder on left, tons of water at the same spot for twelve min!!!!!!
On 12 August 2015, a series of explosions killed 173 chinese people, according to official reports, and injured hundreds of others at a container storage station at the Port of Tianjin. It was a really pleasant and beautiful scene. I hope to have such a scene every day. Oh yes, such a beautiful scenery will make people feel happy
@@user-if7vc1eq1n I'm so sorry your treatments at the asylum don't seem to be helping. I truly feel so bad for the misery you must be in. Were you born this way or did your parents beating you cause your condition? Or perhaps you were exposed to some toxic material in early life that has scared you so terribly? In any case, may you find peace in your tormented life. The rest of all mankind pray for your recovery. Lotus blossoms to you.
Тупо льют воду! Смотря что горит. А исходя из этого применить пену. Ну ладно, пенообразователь дорого. Так хотя бы брандспойтами шевелили. Нет, тупо льют в одно место.
I can never understand why the firefighters never attack the flames directly, but spraying the water somewhere nearby!!! I can even see what's burning but they avoid it by all means 😂
If you think about it, its pretty clear. They're trying to prevent the fire from spreading. Spraying inbthe middle of a fire this big will not help and it will just keep spreading to dry and hot material nearby. The most important thing is trying to prevent spreading. A flame this large couldn't even be extinguished faster than it could spread. Also its interesting how you decided to ridicule and laugh instead of honestly questioning and trying to learn why they do that. If you're an amateur and you find out someone with much more experience is doing something you don't understand, your first reaction really should be trying to understand and learn from it and definitely should not to ridicule them for no reason I even had to write this comment twice because when I was about to send it an ad appeared on the video and when I went to skip it, it didn't ask wheter to cancel writing and my text just disappeared
Simply because water cannot be beaten when dealing with basic fuel fires, i.e. those fires fueled by wood,paper etc. Water extinguishes the flame, reduces the temperature of remaining fuel sources, and is readily accessible in most urban environments. Ofcourse electrical or oil fires have to be tackled with powder or foam agents, but at the moment, water is the best way of dealing with most fires. Interesting point you made though, perhaps in the future as water becomes more scarce we may have to revisit the question.
@@robhouston6861 i mean i would think they would start developing new ways to put out fires this point more effectively with water. the current fire suppression seems fairly outdated compared to military or digital tech. you can only do so much with a manually aimed narrow stream. i'm thinking using drones or special nozzles to mist an entire area down to increase moisture content and reduce fuel loading, then hit the hotspots specifically after everything gets a little cooled. i think it might do more than blindly shooting water into a fire. on that note, why don't they develop automatic tracking systems with infrared cameras to accurately shoot water right onto the hotspots? im certain a large majority of water in this video just hit the ground and ran off, doing nothing to help with the fire. i guess the fire protection industry doesn't have enough funding to implement this at a mass scale, but at least these large cities should invest in a system like that.
