My grandfather was a firefighter. He passed away 20 years ago. But I'm still catching myself watching the big red engines driving by with a childlike admiration.

As an Australian young man myself born in 1998 from Lakemba, New South Wales, Australia I really look up to firefighters the men and women who work extremely hard to aid & rescue people in danger whether they are boys, girls, men & women. They even save animals which is very sweet. Firefighters are truly incredible human beings because they are so courageous and so selfless. To me they will always be my heroes. As human beings we should all follow the three principles of life compassion, empathy and love to have a more perfect union. 👍🏾 🚒

I've always respected the firefighters, and it's an honor to see the fire scene and the crackdown process like this. I feel that the world is beautiful because there are firefighters who think of dangerous things as their own. Thanks a lot.

mean LA City is usually on the ball but this was brutal to watch!

I am a firefighter and I got nervous when the alpha attack was masking up under heavy black smoke had no helmet under the structure and then seconds over a rollover gives you goosebumps. He got very lucky 10 seconds later and he risked burns to his head.

Random people on youtube always know better than any professional in any situation.

Why set up a roof ladder, when the fire has self ventilated to 80% of the roof?
The spontanious smoke ignition was awesome, I just can not figure out why only one guy was properly suited up.

Good job, firefighters—and apparently no one hurt? Thank heavens!

And thanks to ONSCENE reporters for bringing us news that no one else will. 💚

I know its LAFD and they fight a lot of fire, but that was an absolute cluster at the front door. The FF stretching the line dumped it at the front gate, then got directed (by a truck FF no less) to move around the side (where he again dumped it, then was directed to the front door. When they finally started the attack, it was a Captain on the nozzle and the FF who stretched the line was still putting on his gloves and ended up three guys back from the nozzle. Had to be a probie.

I'm curious about how these firefighters thought those window fences, 3" apart, would avoid a stream reaching the fire...
Also curious about why they didn´t put a stream through the windows...

Huge respect to these firefighters and all the other firefighters around the world♡
Greetings from Türkiye Turkey

Bars on the windows may deter burglars, but in the event of a fire..you’re SCREWED!

Who else knew the side of the roof was going to fall but they carelessly stood under it? Then it ended up almost taking dude out 😑

Nothing shows more bravery and courage than a firefighter.

I'm proud and blessed that we have firefighters. Always on time to save someone and do the things to do to keep everyone safe

Im a fire fighter in Australia and fighting fires can be rough, tough and scary. But it is always rewarding.

A pretty much total loss. Should gav easily been a total exterior attack

[chronically.advocating]

That was an unexpected move by the LAFD, and a little dangerous. You never open a ventilation point until you have a hose ready and charged. You could see the massive amount of black smoke coming out which indicates a superheated oxygen devoid fire room. That was a flashover as all that black smoke ignited upon introduction of oxygen. Anyway I feel bad for the family's loss assuming this wasn't a vacant house. My prayers go out to them.

[PeteV]

Why do an interior attack on this? It has flashed, nobody is alive in there. Unnecessary risk.

If a safety officer was anywhere near the scene of this fire his pen would be out of ink.
