I really like the structure description from dispatch; it helps the crews in what to expect.

[ytrdadio]

Thank You.... Nice vid and I appreciate the audio.

[Bobbyd]

DISPATCHER PUTTIN IN WORK ! "DIGG ITT" !

[MPWEST]

I hear them saying the letter "k" alot. Is that their way of saing "out" or 10-4? And when a fire is "doubtful" what does that mean? That its not controlled yet?

[intimidator.jb]

I used to live in this neighborhood in the 60s n early 70s. Hate to see it tore up.

[buzzmeachum]

Hard to believe the street traffic passing by so close.

[Greylocks]

I find the other drivers pretty dumb to still roll right next to the fire engines. Even if there is no road block yet common sense should apply?

[slobama]

Cops pretty slow on any traffic control

[georgecoons]

The los angeles firefighters move fast on there fires. They run not walk
