Kudos to the cameraman for holding the camera steady.
-
These apartment buildings with units above carports should be required to install a sprinkler system to reduce the damage from these types of fires.
-
A perfect example of how fast a fire can spread and how long it takes for a response. Having an accessible fire extinguisher can make a big difference.
-
Cars were a total loss long before the girl started screaming her car was burning.
-
Forget the cars I hope everyone in the complex and nearby complexes are safe.
-
The panic of realizing you only have liability insurance on your car.
-
To the person who shot the entire video: thanks for doing it in landscape mode. To the firefighters: thanks for the amazing job you do. To everyone involved: I hope nobody was harmed. Including pets (the lady’s cat amongst them). I can’t help but wonder if it was an EV charging that started the fire.

As a 24yr.Fire Vet.they could used the deck gun to flank the fire,But what kills me is If you have an active fire already be masked up ready to attack the fire.timing on attack was so slow,S.M.H.

I would never rent a house or an apartment that is over a car port for this exact reason
-
This is why one should never live above parked vehicles, apartment or house! So sad.
-
Hey lady the screaming really helps, thanks.
-
Seems like a slow response from the fire dept ? That fire was super quick!
-
This is why parking garages should have sprinkler systems
-
I hope everybody inside the apartments are OK 🙏🏽
-
This is nuts! I find it hard to believe it took so long for them to respond!
-
OMG!! I hope that lady's cat is safe.
-
Ugh, her "lucky" friend having to endure her histrionic screaming on the phone..
-
I brother lives in Studio City. I hope he is okay. So sad to see but people have to protect their life by staying back. Brave firemen working hard deserve so much credit and respect.

The insurance companies are not going to be happy about this.
