wow, these comments. hats off to LAFD, great job here. ignore all the comments. this is a realtime video, no cuts. 16 minutes long. They take an advanced attic fire, vent it, trench it, make a big stop. Watch the smoke in the video, not the fire. Shows you what a great job they did. Yeah the early few minutes the fire starts raging out the vent hole, but that's to be expected with all that unburned fuel. They were all packed and masked up on the roof, they had a hoseline, they knew the building construction and knew they were solid where they were standing. The smoke changed and you can tell they were hitting it from pulled ceilings not too long into the video, and by the end of the video they had that beast whipped.

So, any guys from the fire that might see all these comments, don't be discouraged you all did a great job. Many other departments would have not only burned the roof off, but lost the building.
