this was in battalion 18 so the 1st arriving co. would have been from: 92 58 43 61 68 and 94. Then most likly 37, 29, 59, and maybe 72. Then 88 shows up most likly because of the USAR (urban search and resuce) apperatus
It was some time in the late 90's. I remember when it happened, but I don't remember the exact date. I want to say 1998 or 1999. The building is on the NE corner of Sepulveda Blvd and Massachusetts. They completely remodeled the building and it looks exactly the same as it did in this fire if you drive by it today.

I think he's at FS 9, I saw him at a fire in 9's first in a few months ago.
And by the way, back in 1999 LA City Fire didn't respond USAR rigs to Greater Alarm structures fires like they do today.

Check out the ladders in the wires. I presume the power company shut down the block...
