The fire broke out around 5:00 p.m. Residents ran from their homes as black plumes of smoke billowed high into the sky and flames spread to nearby buildings as well as powerlines. Mike Rogers reports.

Those are some huge huge flames. Something don't seem right.

That yellow house that was adjacent to the primary inferno seems right up against their property line. I am fairly certain there are minimum setbacks for these buildings. And when you see the fires just jump to the property, you can understand why setbacks are required by code.

I used to live 300 feet from that house. The neighborhood was built up in 1950 with tiny ~3000sqft lots and in many cases the garages (like mine) were built on the property line. This one was not, and did appear to have the 4 foot setback. But people tend to build unpermitted sheds and things right on the property line as well. Garages tend to have a ton of fuel, so they can go up fast.

at 1:22 you can see that the gap between the yellow house and the fence is narrower than 4 feet. Maybe the old garages were grandfathered in. But in this situation, it became habitable space when there is a window a/c unit on the side. I also just noticed there appears to be a propane tank between the yellow bldg and the fence.

codes or not, FIRES ARE NASTY AND EVIL!!! plan, plan , plan...accidents happen anywhere, inside your house your 2 breaths from death! outside , as you can see in just 5 minutes!! what looks "interesting on tv is in reality 500F melting your face at 50 feet away!!!

I noticed so many sheds. Hoping the surrounding homes weren't a total loss.. It's just so sad to see.@@kc6qhp

@@lunam7249 You nailed it! We had one in my neighborhood at 1am. I was up & noticed the sky was bright orange & raced over there. A group of us FINALLY got sleeping neighbors out but the occupant did not make it. I could feel the INTENSE heat from across the lake. Lots of melted siding but the other homes did stay habitable after..

When you put 3 homes in a tiny backyard you get this mess. These were single family homes original now apartment complex.

@kl3nd4thu 11 ай бұрын

That yellow building that almost caught fire was probably an old garage when the houses were originally built. But I think the owner converted it to a habitable house (notice that a/c window banger). If it was converted, I think the building department didn't see plans because this new occupancy use shouldn't be allowed because it looks like it is right up against the property line.

What the heck was crawling across the wall of the yellow house directly into the burning eaves? It happens about 3 mins in. Weird...

@Scott-bc7du 11 ай бұрын

It looked like a replicator. Just kidding, it was some device (box) attached to a wire that ran from the pole to the building and as the helicopter moved it did appear something was crawling on the wall, freaked me out for a second.

@nrakma 11 ай бұрын

Such very poor camera work, reporting and positioning of the helicopter by the pilot. Wide shots give by far the best information about the location. Never saw view of front on building that seemed to be a garage, but ? Talker dude repeated the wrong information and did not seem to be watching screen. What a decline in reporting since KTLA flew the First News Helicopter and Reported Live from the sky in 1948.

@rogercook2292 10 ай бұрын

Ah yes, another ‘complication’ of urban densification. FD needs room to drag hoses between properties, hence 1 factor in setback requirements. Thanks to all CA voters who put state ‘affordable housing’ activists into office. Thanks to RBCH for not standing up to State overreach in local quality of life issues. Maybe it’s time to check MLS for homes in Huntington Beach, cause they obviously care enough about Their residents to fight back against the States efforts to cover every-square-inch of land with housing that even an indentured servant can afford to have…..
