Firefighters respond to dramatic structure fire in Venice 

this was reported as a vacant Lawyers office, the encampment was against the front walls and the fire spread in thru a broken window cause a internal fire to rage Reported by German in Venice . Homeless encampment fire burns down a two story building

I guess the fire departments haven’t figured out that if you actually move that stream of water around and hit the fire and not just let it pour into one hole the fire would go out.

That encampment just has to go. Too many fires.

What they need on scene is a feed of what that helicopter sees. The water is not hitting much of anything that is burning. Helo has the best angle to direct the flows.

Ladder pipes can be effective but you have to have somebody on the tip of that aerial ladder moving that stream around hitting fire not washing the roof. You see it with almost every fire that LA City fights ladder pipe streams that are doing nothing & and deck guns that just over shoot the building

two types of fires...offensive, to actively try to save the building and things inside said building by attacking the fire...defensive, protect structures around the building that is burning but not attempt to put firefighters lives in danger by asking them to risk their lives for a structure that cannot be saved.

It's amazing to see if only water really hits the fire how fast it puts out.

Having a drone feed to the incident commander's cell phone and the i/c being able to fly the drone could be a critical advantage, yes?

First of all it's truly sad everyone wants to blame the homeless but it used to be a law office

buildings can be replaced...lives cannot

Can’t be a grow operation or the beach would be full of potheads trying to get a free high.

Great video, but play it at 2X speed and no sound! 👍👍

Um-manned aerial master streams are only good for water damage. Firefighters need to operate the stream so they actually hit the fire.

great video, check out the UK fire service driving to an incident

was any of the fire fighter hurt Lets worry about the injures not the who did it

Whoever's video taping these structure fires in a neighborhood or a business area and you're looking for an address or what that building is haven't you ever heard of city aerial maps that show you where all the locations are satellite view I live in the Midwest I can go on there and look at it from my own house look at any town and any state will Google maps

why no air drops ??

What is in that building?????

It seems that the lines are placing water into areas where there is no fire in the centra? Should they not be moving outwards into the burning areas to put the fire out? Appreciate they are making sure the fire in the dark areas is out but surely they should concentrate on what is actually on fire!! After 11.30 they are now placing the jets on the actual fire to much better effect. They should be concentrating, as the commentator is saying on the saving the "building on the right"!

amazing how many fire fighters there are in this comment stream

Too many homeless people occupying Venice. It's not like what it used to be just a year ago. Need better City leadership.

Would you look at all those horribly placed hose streams!!!!!!!!!!! Shoot across the ever so rapidly growing hole to get under the opposing roof edge.

One main problem is that the buildings are too close together making it difficult to fight a fire. And the encampment in that alley or street makes it impossible to get close in order to get water or other stuff to put it out.

Love to hear from all the keyboard firefighters……

end of firefighting lesson one oh one

something very flamable in there

Second hand smoke

No sound

好爛 水柱全部射在沒有火的地方 好裝備也要有好腦袋

The way to fix that homeless problem is to go through there late at night with a pavement roller ,problem solved only a small cleanup.

covid19

That’s definitely not a homeless encampment!
