Live: Firefighters battling massive structure fire in Compton I ABC7

why not use heli tankers . seems weird why they don't. and three ladder trucks just sitting there nutz

Try Foam

Where is the rest of the city fire trucks?

the guy calling the camera shot is an idiot and should be fired

Que incendio tan raro, pudieron rescatar algunas unidades, y no lo hicieron ?

Las riquezas que Dios da, no traen tristeza con ellas, ......

Increíble como hacen falta más bomberos, pero los millonarios gastan dinero en tonterías, pero no en la institución de los bomberos, que para todo los llaman rápido, y ellos hacen lo humanamente posible por ayudar . . . .

hahaha :D :D

Nice BBQ

That helo camera must have some cool stabilisation system on it .

Why do I feel like California is always on fire somwhere

What a terrible Fire Dept

I have never seen such a badly organized fire fight.

Armchair experts are SO annoying!

The legal sister-in-law approximately whine because turkish beverly repeat but a mighty arch. last, pumped step-daughter

The placement of some of those fire trucks seems way off, like the one on the street for example the water stream is doing nothing, and no trucks in the back alleys.

Why can I only see one aerial master stream? Why do I only see 5 fire trucks. This is terrible. There was only 1 fire truck actually in complex fighting the fire.

Some insurance company somewhere was looking closely at the policy for a clause on this pricey devastation.

Hi America, hurry up to put the fire out, the fire has just burned things so quickly it’s like ,never seen never heard, it seems no one is living there or the matter is like to watch what is going to be happening that’s tough,big thanks to firefighters......

So few companies on scene for a fire this involved and massive

There are no ‘water cannon.’ The fire department are using tower ladders and deck guns. Each application is known as a ‘master stream.’

For a fire to even get that far out of control tells me something ain't right
If pallets started burning shouldn't it been put out let's say within a reasonable time like 25 minutes to an hour. Where was everyone sleeping

европейские гоблины работать не умеют

The FDNY in such situations they have hundreds of firefighters and pumper trucks to fight such a big fire like this it's a shame they could save these buses it's worth a few million, such slowpokes fire department it's a liberal city that y everything is corrupt from head to toe mismanaged or they don't care

Firefighters abandoned the fire when the Chief said, we're going to need more hose..
They thought he said something else!

When the bus tyres started blowing out, the local gangs thought a turf war had broken out!

A terrible fire, and this fire has a terribly high temperature with maybe thousands of gallons of diesel to 90 rubber tires just on the right row, the bus seats get colossally hot when they first set fire. you should look around the fire if there are people who want to get up and look at the gorgeous heat, because pyromaniacs for an orgasmic look of.. look at what they have done.

looks badly managed for fire safety that yard

3138 one bus in the middle how the heck it not on fire when the ones next to it are

Interesting that there was another pallet yard fire in Compton a month later. 2 locations, same city, same type of fire, hmmmm.......

Just incredible lack of identifying the enormous amount of HAZARDS in this area and City......Fire Chiefs need to evaluated the enormous exposures from 2 shown here with a PALLET storage facility with thousands of pallets equivalent to an enormous lumber yard and further TV coverage showed an enormous BALED PAPER facility next to a large Truck Tanker facility.......any ignitions with flying embers from the Pallet fire igniting the bailed paper would have had enormous consequences of a fire they may have consumed several blocks ....incedable incompetency here in FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU , the Fire Chief, and Pre-fire planning, operations and the list goes on and on and on.

Trees on fire

Where is Compton, please?

Does this mean the pallet company and the bus company are having an all out fire sale??????????

What a shambles. Surely there was a case for foam use here?! Or even an air drop.

Like that gardenhose is going to do any good.

ABC 👎!

Yes give me the chopper stream instead of the abc broadcast banality.

Ridiculous no water pressure in area. Sue the city.

Use water drops idiots

Backed.. backed... backed 😏

This fire was in the City of Compton... Their Fire Department has a history of issues and is woefully inadequate for the community it serves - NOT due to personnel but budget constraints and a shortage of up-to-date equipment. They are also part of a mutual aid agreement that primarily focuses on other nearby small cities such as Downey and Santa Fe Springs Departments before seeking massive aid from the larger and better equipped County Fire. Low water pressure is also very common in this area as part of infrastructure problems in Compton. Massive # of fires down there due to homeless folks trying to cook and keep warm... This was a perfect storm of events waiting to happen. Glad no one was killed.

Why is it that they never point the water at the hot spot. Almost every video.

SNOOP DOG LIVES IN COMPTON ! ! !

That is so sad

Good god, where are the firefighting forces? FDNY would have 50 companies and 200 men. What are these guys "vollies"/

Concern for safety is one thing, but firefighting is a dangerous job. Grow some.
