RIVERSIDE I.C.
On March 29, 2007 at 0959 hours, Battalion 14, Task Force 60, Light Force 102, Task Force 89, Engine 108, Engine 86 and Light Force 88 were dispatched to a reported Structure Fire on Riverside Drive west of Whitsett Avenue.
First units on scene reported a 2-story sealed office building with one unit on the 2nd floor well-involved with fire. Battalion 14 Commander Evan Williams assigned E60 and E78 to fire attack, while LF102 and LF89 went aloft to provide roof ventilation.
Companies quickly isolated the fire in the attic space above a dropped ceiling. A quick knockdown was effected...cause was determined to be accidental (torch from a roofing operation).

Chief, long time no talk. I do read the blog and thank you again for taking the time to inform us LA Fire fans.
I was wondering what the guys carry in the red bags hanging from their scba belt?

Jorge,
First of all...good luck on your BC test! It's kind of ironic that I will be retiring as a BC at the end of this month.
The red bags that you see are commonly called "drop bags". These equipment bags contain at least 150' of 5/16" dacron braided line that is commonly used for hoisting hoselines and equipment aloft.
Good to hear from you and Metro Dade.
