2011-03-27T22:31:00.000-07:00

Though it has been quite sometime since we have made any updates to SoCalFirePhoto. This year we are planning on branching out into new fields though still holding the same name. Most recently I had the opportunity to cover the Global Rally Cross races at the Toyota Speedway of Irwindale. The gallery website is taking on a new look and some things have moved so feel free to take a look around to find your favorite pictures. Also we are planning on adding at least one new photographer to the site Ryan Ling of FireLinePhoto.com should be joining the sites space displaying his work. Thank you for your continuing support and check back often for updates.

LAFD 77's Air Ambulance

2010-06-04T23:01:00.000-07:00

SoCal Fire Photo has been semi busy though we have not done all that we can to keep to up to date on our blog. Please check the website often as we have been adding incidents. Tonight we had an Air Ambulance: 7 y/o male being treated after large metal fence fell on him; patient suffered head injury. L/Z is located at Sherman Way and Fair ( Sun Valley Middle School). We just covered Fire Service Day at Burbank Fire and Glendale Fire, and it seems with tradition that we get a brush fire every year on that date too (San Ysidro I/C).

Look to our website soon for shots from the "Hope for Firefighters" event held by LAFRA and LAFD in downtown Los Angeles to support the family and fire fighters themselves over injuries and LODD.

Thank you again for all your continuing support

Latest Updates

2009-12-01T07:58:00.000-08:00

Till now SoCal Fire Photo has been semi slow since the Station Fire. We have just added some new events to our site. We had a SFD with heavy smoke and fire showing "Cedros I/C", we had two 2nd Alarm Commercial Structure Fires at the same building. Again and as always if you are with a department or agency feel free to let us know of images you are interested in.

Main I/C Major Alarm Structure Fire

2009-09-18T11:44:00.000-07:00

On Friday, September 18, 2009 at 0:27 AM, LAFD responded to a Major Alarm Structure Fire at 1320 South Main Street in the area of the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Firefighters arrived quickly to find heavy smoke and fire showing through the roof from an unoccupied, 50’ x 100’, three-story commercial building. Swiftly extending handlines, firefighters did fierce battle with the blaze. Due to the heavy fire load and partial structural collapse of the roof, fire crews were forced to go into a defensive mode. Firefighters attacked the fire with heavy streams from ladderpipes, as well as handlines from the street.

Firefighters worked diligently to prevent the spread of fire to any of the surrounding structures. Thanks to the exhausting efforts of the men and women of the Los Angeles Fire Department the blaze was contained in just one hour and 30 minutes.

Station I/C

2009-08-30T18:17:00.000-07:00

SoCal Fire Photo has been on the lines covering the Station fire in the Angeles National Forest since day 1, keep checking back often for updates.
