- Los Angeles Fire Department Engine 17 was dispatched to the intersection of 7th Place and Mission Road for reports of a vehicle fire. They arrived to find two large RVs fully involved with fire. An additional engine (Engine 25) was requested. The fire was extinguished with hand lines and the wagon battery. No injuries were reported.
Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, CA - 11/24/2022
Deck guns are under utilized. Nice work.
only if you have a hydrant, will suck a tank dry in a minute
Pull up to the fire. Tank to pump and deck gun it with the water carried on the pump while the next pump in lays a line from the plug.
If emptying the tank with the deck gun won't put the fire out, emptying it with a handline won't either.
@@CyclingSasquatch seems like it was a 2 prong attack with both gun and handline.
So is your brain.
Awesome use of the deck gun; a very underutilized piece of equipment.
My first thought was this is a perfect spot for the deck gun/water cannon /deluge gun/monitor. You can pick the name
I agree, putting the kid on the deck gun was quite effective. I'm no fireman. Nice work from the camera man too.
@@smokechecktim7430 you forgot "Stang"
Engineer had a supply coming, should have utilized the wagon battery a lot sooner. Managing his tank water before hand lines were open. Captain on wagon battery, firefighter on hydrant, other firefighter on hand line and engineer at panel. Additional companies are arriving. Exposers are a concern as well as power lines.
Took WAY too long to use it, should've been the FIRST thing they did.
Deck Gun Danny, saved the day!
DGD good handle
DeckGunDanny,savedtheday!
That's a fantastic engineer. Got a water sorce, got them line stretched, got deck gun to kick ass. Well done!
Excellent catch 😀👍👍 Thanks for the video & the channel!!!! Keep up the good work!!! Good job LAFD 🚒🏬
german retired lieutenant is watching this video in the philippines. respect guys. that looks very professional and it looks like you really enjoy your job. stay safe. 🎩🎩🎩
Doesn’t fell nice to live on a planet where every city and town and state has a fire department god bless everyone that works for the fire departments
Philippines? Weren't you escaping to Argentina?
@@Saeglopur89yes but the brides come cheaper and younger in the Philippines I’m guessing (I’ve known a few Germans over the years 🤣). Plus the trade in market is good and you can get a new model every few years.
Great move on using deckgun on this fire! You could hear propane releases occurring on propane tanks! Great job LAFD!!!
This was a clear-cut case for using a master stream. This wasn't just a car fire; this was the equivalent of a couple of small semi trucks going up with multiple exposures. Good for the LAFD for busting out the deck gun here - it knocked the fire down in under a minute.
I'm sure they were eagerly awaiting your approval 🙄
@@virgilhilts3924 Better complements than brickbats of the typical CZcams commenter.
Suspicious looking fire, nice work with the roof mounted monitor
How said watching two 1/2 million dollar homes in CA go up in flames :)
@@trvman1
😭👍🙃🤣.........truth!.....lol
@@trvman1 Half mil? More like $20k
That's what I was thinking. I can't figure out how it spread from one RV to the second naturally without burning the front of the other first.
Someone in the neighbourhood probably got tired of seeing these parking on their street is my guess.🔥🔥🔥🔥
The paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks to everyone who responds keep them safe out there job well done you should be proud love and appreciate you guys thanks good catch as usual appreciate you guys thanks ! Joe
I dunno. If they stayed back at the station, it would have made no difference. The fire peaked already. They just coming along all bells and whistles and bling-bling to douse a fire thats already started to recede.
@@tonyautoworkxlll
are they firemen? I thought they were tourists😂
I'm sure the taxpayers that live on that street where freeloaders hang out in dilapidated RV's are just heartbroken to have witnessed this tragedy. The audacity to have the slide slid open on the traffic side is the ultimate sense of entitlement.
must be nice to have a comfortable home in a "respectable" neighbourhood....have some compassion
@@derrickharvey295yes it is nice to have my own home in a great neighborhood and no I do not have compassion for anyone...you reap what u sow...u want something u earn it,no handouts...got hooked on drugs and lost everything...sucks to be u,not my problem to worry about...go give them your money
God forbid they have 4 extra feet of space while probably in the worst position of their life... Have some compassion!
Yup, free electricity and parking, we get to pay for. Btw, these don't look like 1970's campers.
@@derrickharvey295 Бог подаст...
Thank you my Fire Buff Friend. Great shots at pre Arrival. The hand line ( Protect the exposure) then Deck gun. Great work by LA's finest. One Engine took control and contained it as Back up arrived.
Yes I agree that it was a good idea for the first engine not to wait for the second one before starting to put the fire out.
So far so good
Outstanding performance
LAFD'' Congratulations
Very cool footage to see 😃👌🏼! Thank you for that 😁❤!
Fabulous use by the caption to use the deck gun to gain control untill additional units arrive, well done.
Engineer saved the day with that deck gun. Great stream placement....
is it hard to get the steam correct
That deck gun did an easy job on those "rv's" nice catch n great job of the guys at the pipes
A great way to “monitor“ the situation 👍
This is an outstanding video 👍🏻👍🏻
No rush, no rush.
To the guy on top of truck who about had it all put out before the other ones found their gear. Great job!
Props to that officer helping pull the hose!
Young Man on the water cannon nailed it!!👍💯
Nice Job, it's amazing how fast those motor homes burn, new or old units.
Mad respect for LAFD, as they are an aggressive and impressive department. That said, seemed a little lackluster. Seemed pump pressures were low, not a ton of hustle. Know they were just RV's....
Thank you LAFD. Dealing burning RV and motorhomes on inner city streets. It was never like this when i was a kid. What happed to my city
Free marketbots decided to jack housing prices to insane levels, then Covid and the war in Ukraine hit.
And nothing was done about item 1 and we are now complaining about the situation that we were too lazy to prevent and the result.
To the rest of us in the country its very obvious what happened to your city. Like every other major dem city. Yet the citizens keep voting the same way? Keep believing, I'm sure it will get better, right? Look at Baltimore for that answer. Makes no sense.
Yup, keep voting for the woke Left. Gavin Newsome loves ppl living like this, until a Chinee dictator comes to visit, then he pushes them all somewhere else for a week. Glad I left that s-hole state. @@keithallen3119
@@keithallen3119yeah, keep talking like that. Now that the GOP has been destroyed by MAGA parasites things aren't going to get any better on that side of the coin either.
Nice catch brother 👍👍
That young lad on the roof cannon did a great job on his own respect to them all
Great video
Awesome video! Those firefighters took care of business.
I always thought that when the fire fighters arrived at a fire they were ready to go straight away but these videos say something else!!!
I have implemented a full sprinkler system for my house because to do not believe the fire brigade could arrive in timer to make a difference.
Good work everyone !
For supporting fire by cooling front where back of RV on fire, “ok we will get there eventually”.
Can anyone advise what engine 25 was doing upon arrival hooking a 5" line into 17? Was 17 going to pump to 25? Wouldn't 25 want to secure their own water source/hydrant?
Great use of the Deck Gun!
That's scary. Im as former volunteer FF. And i actually live full time at a campground in a 32ft towable. I know most rvs and campers use propane for the HVAC water heater and stove. And some use propane as a coolant for the fridge/freezer units. But in transit you are not supposed to have full tanks on board but people forget so that's still a factor.
@Pat Luxor in case if vehicle fires its lessons the chance of an explosive from the tanks b.l.e.v.ining
@@anthonyj.adventures9736 No. Just NO. It's perfectly NORMAL to travel with full tanks because in many places there's no place to fill a propane tank.
Those R V’s didn’t just start, appear’s they were an inferno for a long , long time! Look at how much total destruction was evident loons before F D finally showed up, despite the fact the smoke must have bee visible fo sseeveral miles! The roofs and sides of R V’s were down to near chassis by time F D showed up. Did they come from San Diego? And only 2 engines showed up initially,& this fiasco was in an industrial area, where were witnesses,& nothing happened to alert authorities of massive R V conflagration! Fire response was very poor!
That's why my motorhome won't be having any gas.
Looks like a meth lab went bad.
Great job ladies and gentlemen
Spent some time living in a Transit Van and for those asking how they both caught fire....my guess is they were sharing 1 or more extension cords and that spread from 1 the other. I've seen quite a few people's homes(rv's) go up like this and it's said. Usually from a faulty heater or wiring that's old. They burn so fast that even if FD gets on scene within 2 mins the RV is gone
Or the wing blowing sparks from back RV to front RV
Or cooking drugs.
@@kaydee9583 Yeah, that "wing" can be treacherous...
@@daryllect6659 LOL wind
Or an enemy of both.
The damage to the Telco lines and the associated outage will take hours to repair once they clear the scene.
Let's stop and hope everyone is doing ok the paramedics and firemen deserve a lot of credit your service and time and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks don't work to hard great job great catches as usual keep them safe out there way to go ! Joe
It's great when we all come together to help no matter what your job is. That's what makes us Americans. 👍
LA isn't a Volunteer Force. These guys are all professional firefighters by trade
you don't have to wave the flag patriotically just because professional fire brigades are doing their job....
@@AnastaziaValvaine he’s talking about the cops helping to move supply lines at one point.
has nothing to do with "americans", its called human decency and a moral attitude
Arggghghhhhh....puke
Good job guys!
Good use of the deck gun. A lot of water and kept the members away from the power lines
"...kept the members away from the power lines."
I always try to keep my "member" away from power lines.
Great work guys ..
Something out of a movie! Awesome footage
Just one question why did it take that crew so long to deploy the pre-connect
Nice work on getting a water supply right away and utilizing the deck gun!
It is baffling how long it takes to get a decent stream of water on a fire in these major metro areas. These fire departments have BILLIONS of dollars of equipment, lots of trained personnel and they roll up to fires and it's like watching the three stooges most of the time. Mass confusion. Not sure I've seen one of these videos where it appears a highly oiled machine is working. For those in the know, go ahead and blast away. Educate me on the ins and outs of fire fighting. I know what I would do - GET WATER ON THAT SUMBISH ASAP.
Thats messed up could be someone's home with nowhere else to go 😕
prob a meth lab
@@crash6674
What are ya talking about, those are half-million dollar homes in California!
I was up in LA a couple of weeks ago. I saw a few RVs in the valley that had caught fire that had been put out and people were still living in them. Granted they didn't burn as bad as these, but they were burned bad enough to where they no longer ran.
They probably were. Welcome to LA, where John Carpenter's dystopia world is now reality. Where's Snake Plissken?
That fire looks very suspicious
lol ya think so.
@4:49 Is that funnel in the water port or the fuel port? Center of screen.
I'd guess water. Had it been fuel, even if it were diesel, vapors would have probably flashed up long before then, and we see there's no fire in that immediate vicinity.
Awesome footage bro!
That deck gun seemed very effective.should be employed more often
Those RV’s would be worth a whole house in the Midwest.
Perfect set up for the deck gun
Note to self, never purchase this RV brand!
Also congrats to not using a clickbait thumbnail. Your a 1 of 100 hero here, which is a 100% hero. 😁👍
I never expected to see two RV's fully engulfed! Cool vid!
RV go up like matchbooks.
@@fladave99 Oh yeah! 🔥
Nice work from the operator of engine 17 good years of the deck done
Has anyone ever noticed this guy always gets to the fire before the firetrucks?
And your point is?
@@90210FireBuff How is it possible?
@@dammitbobby283 Because sometimes luck is on my side and I'm at the right place at the right time while other times I'm late to a fire. Really depends on timing
Hmmm
It would have made it faster in the end which also saves water if they would have used foam to Cover those 2 to make Sure the fire is out combined with controlling it via a Thermal camera ^^
That’s some nice footage 👍
"I can fix it. My Dad's a TV Repair Man. He's got a special set of Tools."
Spickoly, from the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High 💥
Very good job Firefighters! Those burning power lines added extra danger. Suspicious looking fire at first glance. Double Insurance caper?
Watched some videos lately explaining how rent has become so high many are now living in rvs on the streets. Guessing this was 2 people's homes they didn't want to lose.
no insurance on dilapidated unregistered rvs; they are homeless pple in very old rvs.
The FIRST thing they should've done is hit it with the deck gun. The handline was next to useless, especially since LA NEVER gives the nozzleman any help.
Awesome nice work man ❤
The one firefighter that was suited ip and ready to go needs a raise
Nice work boys. I am very jealous of that monitor.
"Meth Lab 1 to Meth Lab 2, what's that smell?" - Dammit we're both on fire.
didn't Walter White cook meth in them?
Looks like someone has come up with a unique way of dealing with L.A.'s homeless problem!
Woahh nice!!
That looks like arson
Nice job on the deck gun
Deck guns are very underutilized and toucan knock downs fire fast😊
never understood why our fire engines here in the uk dont have the deck guns on them but then again here we have the high pressure reels that take seconds to reel out and get water on the fire
I never understood why we don't have hose reels on our rigs here where you could get some water on a fire in seconds while the rest of the guys wait until the place is burned to the ground before they get water on it. If you watch enough US fire videos, you'll see time and again a small fire that could be attacked upon arrival if they were so equipped that could be greatly mitigated while the hoses get up and running. It's infuriating. That deck gun was a great help in this case.
Here in the Czech Republic, we also use English DENNIS cars. I was a professional firefighter, and I drove this car to emergency situations. It's a great car.
For those saying this is a good job, maybe for a volunteer department. This is one of the most professional FD's in the US and it took them just over 2 minutes to put water on the fire. It's amazing it didn't spread further. great filming as always.
i was thinking the same thing
Amen brother. I was expecting speed, efficiency, team work and it was painful to watch.
Bet you're a volley who gets their rocks off on any chance to dump on a career dept. Looks like they had pressure issues in the first few min. Also the response time alone for these type of calls blows volleys out of the water so there's that. They'd still be in their pickup with blue lights on pulling out of their driveway when these guys are pulling a line.
Nick you’re wrong. First line should have been placed between the RV’s and the structure. They should have used the tank water, saving time, while the supply line was established. Nice job by the engineer placing the deck gun in operation. And that comes from 33 years of experience.
@@CaptainRon13 what does that have anything to do with what I said or the fact that it appeared there was pressure issues? nothing that's what.
Good thinking on the deck gun strategy, 2 RV fires that potentially have propane tanks and 2 automobiles next to them plus the building. When in doubt always better to go for the big lines!!!!!
Love that deck gun.
DECK GUN !! Would have used it first. Stretching the lines down the street next to RVs is dangerous. Propane tanks there can cook off.
Next question, why do the just have one hand line in operation 😊
If the city would outlaw rv parking / living on the streets they wouldn't be going thru this
Nice Video 😊good volunteers firetrucks
What camera do you have?
Are those civilians/bystanders helping to move the hose when E25 arrives? If so, kudos to them for stepping up instead of just standing there rubbernecking as people would have in many other places.
How did the RVs catch fire to begin with? 🤔
lovely area
In the words of FENTON You guys gonna get some water on that anytime soon!!?
That firefighter with the first hose line didn’t look all that great though.
Two RVs burning at the same rate on arrival... looks like someone torched them to me. Definitely looks suspicious.
Did they put the lemon pepper marinated shrimp on a spit to hold over the flames?
Curious why not a 2 1/2 line
It's amazing to watch these professionals work. LAFD, and LAPD, are the most UNDERPAID heroes!
70% of firefighters are volunteer and do all the same things career departments do with less manpower
They actually have a pretty good pay/benefits plan for SoCal
Land of the quarter million dollar a year firemen. I remember watching Emergency as a kid and thinking they made near poverty wages, boy was that show misleading.
no fuss no muss fire out! Well drilled and schooled fire dept. Real pros
that first RV has a gas funnel still in the filler tube..... interesting
Engine 17's deck gun made all the difference.
was 25 and 17 the only units on this?
Yes
@@90210FireBuff Why wasn't a full structure assignment given - considering they are right next to that big commercial building and I've seen just regular rubbish fires given a full assignment?
This is why you never use extension cords! they get way to hot. another thing never leave a Motorhome unattended for more then 15 mins running with anything plugged in. I know about pull behinds and Rvs. Thank you for puttin out the fires and Praise God, Blessings no injured or death this day in fires?
Perfect timing for camper wash
Handled by only 2 Engines. 👍🏻👍🏻 Well done.
if this was FDNY, they’d have 4 Battalions, 13 Engines, 5 Rescues and a few Ladders with a whole bunch of guys standing around not doing much.
Really just one engine. And one guy on top of that engine
That had to be arson. Three different seats of fire.
I am left wondering why the crew are wearing BA ?
I feel for the homeless people but looking at the closest RV you can see a funnel in the gas tank just sitting there. Great job by the fire fighters! The US really needs to deal with the homelessness in California though, it's a tragedy!
The Homeless have mismanaged their lives. The very first thing is to learn the "Responsibilities of Adult Living". Life is the Hardest most Painful thing that will ever happen to any of us. The best that we can hope for is to "Die in our sleep". The hardest part of life is being ridiculed for 50 years for working hard and being responsible only to have your success reduced to "You got Lucky". I'm not where I am because I got lucky. I'm where I'm at because I kept getting up no matter how shitty life was. Nobody cares if you're happy, only if you can meet your responsibilities.
When that deckgun went to work!!! 🚒
