Structure Security conference at the Golden Gate Club in San Francisco on Tuesda & Wednesday September 27-28, 2016
This image captures the idea that structure is needed to build knowledge. That is the way our book teaches argument writing using the H2W method: with specific pieces that go in a specific place so that when it is assembled, it makes a whole piece.
At 1:43AM on March 10, 2025, the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire in the 1300 block of S Flower Street in Downtown Los Angeles.
Firefighters arrived to find a mixed two and one story commercial building (combined 13,000 sq feet), site of a previous burn, with heavy fire in the one-story portion at the back. Crews initiated an offensive attack on the fire in the one-story section and were able to knock the bulk of the fire down in about 15 minutes. However, the situation escalated as flames rapidly spread into the adjacent one-story commercial building.
Approximately 20 minutes into the incident, smoke and fire were visible in separate, one-story commercial building (8,850 sq feet), two doors to the south. The Incident Commander swiftly redirected fire companies and expanded the operation, designating the growing fire as "Branch 1" to ensure effective communication and proper control over the complex scene.
While firefighters initially deployed an offensive fire attack, the fire burned through the roof and remaining interior became untenable. Crews transitioned to a defensive operation and deployed master streams via ladder pipes and large diameter hand lines. They fought the heavy fire for over an hour and successfully defended two exposed buildings (auto body shop adjacent and four-story apartment building to the rear) from damage. Occupants of the apartment building were able to safely shelter in place and no evacuation was required.
With over 100 firefighters on scene, operating under the leadership of Assistant Chief Douglas Lewis, a knockdown on all three structures was declared at 3:20AM.
LAFD Heavy Equipment responded to assist with overhaul, using the Thermite RS3 Robotic Firefighting Vehicle to access the areas deemed dangerous due to structural instability and an excavator move debris.
During overhaul operations, one firefighter sustained a minor hand injury. There were no reported injuries to civilians.
LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section (ACTS) responded to the scene and are conducting an ongoing investigation.

Parking Structure 4 at UC Davis Health’s Sacramento campus is a successful example of a human-centered design solution for an urban medical center. Designed for flow and a safe user experience, the entry and exits to the south side of the structure were relocated from the original plan so vehicular traffic is segregated from the pedestrian flow. This offers the user clarity and sets the tone for various wayfinding and lighting strategies. The use of ECO Falcon cameras for available stall detection and LED lighting provide the most technologically advanced systems available for the parking structure.
Reinforcing the horizontality of the campus’ aesthetics, integral color and form liners throughout the precast elements provide textures and tones. The structural layout reduces columns and increases opening sizes, focusing daylight into the center of the structure. Level indicators are located clearly on column faces, combined with directional signage.
Site design promotes a safe and intuitive user experience. Landscaping softens the impact of the structure on the surrounding residential neighborhood and integrates a nature walk with native species. Shuttle stops, bike shelters and bike share options are available at the main pedestrian exits, giving users safe access to their last mile of transportation. Security is intentional yet not obvious; implementing CPTED best practices.
Parking Structure 4 is designed to achieve Parksmart Silver certification.
