didn't Walter White cook meth in them?

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.

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.

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.

DGD good handle

DeckGunDanny,savedtheday!

I'm sure they were eagerly awaiting your approval 🙄

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.🔥🔥🔥🔥

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.

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😂

is it hard to get the steam correct

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?

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...

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.

"...kept the members away from the power lines." I always try to keep my "member" away from power lines.

lol ya think so.

For supporting fire by cooling front where back of RV on fire, “ok we will get there eventually”.

RV go up like matchbooks.

@@fladave99 Oh yeah! 🔥

@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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

That looks like arson

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.
