Warehouse+Cars Up in Smoke LAFD

Car dealers make the mistake of stashing excess new vehicles next to a dilapidated warehouse which goes up fast due to electrical problems. Brand new cars and SUVs parked all along the perimeter of the building also fall victim to the flames. One of the more unusual Greater Alarm responses from LAFD

What is the depts policy on media access to a fire scene? The woman photographer seemed to be out and about amongst the crew near the cars. Is that type of thing normally allowed?

LAFD is one of the more tolerant agencies in the region...Personally I think she could have done well with some protective gear; It may be your choice to go wherever you want in the middle of these things, but improper attire makes you look like an amateur - even if you're not.

Additionally, you hear me say "just tires...just tires" which was in response to her panicked retreat when several cars popped off at the same time...so get a clue! LOL

I'd hate to fill out the NFIRS report for that fire. "Number of Exposures: a lot"

GOOD loom up coming in 50's First in...Thought it was another "Brazil Street" fire but turned out to be like 30 auto fires and an old heavy timber warehouse. It was like IED's exploding left and right running by the cars when their tires went off which got the heart pumping haha.. h20 supply was an issue, thanks E 27 for suppling our LadderPipe!!! Some serious radiant heat coming from the warehouse, hands to a beating trying to cut the east chain linked fence.THank GOD this was BEFORE NFIRS!!

In 1993 I had a friend who needed out of his money pit Ford dealership. The dealership went up in flames. He is now in the pokie for insurance fraud.
