CHATSWORTH - At 9:53PM on December 16, 2020 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to 20150 W Sunburst St for a reported structure fire.
The first arriving fire companies found a one story, commercial building with fire through the roof and requested additional resources. The 28,556 square foot building, built in 1981, was well involved in fire and a decision was quickly made to transition to a defensive mode.
Truck companies put ladder pipes into operation and firefighters used large diameter hand lines to hit the target from all sides. Crews successfully defended the adjacent structures from sustaining damage.
Ultimately, over 120 firefighters working under the leadership of Assistant Chief Corey Rose achieved a knockdown in one hour and thirty-four minutes. One firefighter was transported to the hospital with serious but non-life threatening burn injuries.
The concrete, tilt-up building sustained heavy damage, to include roof collapse, which left it dangerously vulnerable to further collapse of the walls. Consequently, the Department of Building and Safety red-tagged the structure for safety purposes. Overhaul operations and cause investigation were held off until morning while fire companies remained on scene in a fire watch. The RS3 Robotic Firefighting Vehicle was also on scene to assist with interior operations if needed through the night.

This was taken whilst close to Olympic Park.
I think that the overcast sky and the pushing of the black levels have made this appear like something a bit shadowy and menacing (in a way).
I think that the cables help to give a good sense of depth.
I like that you also get a good idea of the size of these structures without having a person in the photo.

These structures are common in the Kuzitrin area, and are hypothesized to be hunting blinds for caribou.
I noticed a few failures of the portable garage and after putting my framework together I noticed it could use some more structure. I had thought that adding a horizontal bar at the base of the rafters would keep the rafters from spreading but I wanted some measurements to confirm things. I used a container weighing 50 pounds and hung it from the rafters peak for the test to simulate what snow would do to the roof if it built up. Adding the horizontal bar did stop any spreading of the rafters.

New Castle Court House Museum is the centerpiece of the historic City of New Castle. Its cupola was designated the center of a 12-mile circle which delineates most of the border between Delaware and Pennsylvania plus a fractional part of the border between Delaware and Maryland. It is one of the oldest surviving court houses in the United States. It served as Delaware’s first court and the state capitol.
The main section of the court house was built in 1732 above the remains of a 1660’s court house used by the Dutch. There is a glass-covered cutout in the courtroom floor through which one can see part of the old structure.
The court house on the first floor is an example of the English-style court system. There was a panel of three judges at an elevated desk. The judge in the center had the biggest wig. That’s where the term “bigwig” came from. A table in front of the judges was for the lawyers. There were two wooden spears on the side of the prisoners’ section. At the start of a trial, the spears were turned sideways. At the end, they would be turned to show the verdict. The white side was for innocent; the red side was for guilty. There were no jails here in the 1700’s so the penalty for a serious crime was death by hanging.
Upstairs were the two chambers for the State Senate and State House. In this building on June 15, 1776, the legislature passed a resolution to declare the independence of New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County from both England and Pennsylvania, thus creating the State of Delaware. On September 20, 1776, the first constitution for the State of Delaware was adopted. In 1777, the capital moved to Dover. In 1881, the state courts moved to the City of Wilmington in 1881.
Upstairs, one will also find a collection of furniture, artifacts, and decorative arts, and portraits. One of the portraits was of Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr, an English nobleman and Virginia's first colonial governor, for whom Delaware was named.
It was too bad that there was no portrait of Caesar Rodney, one of the greatest figures in Delaware’s and America’s history as he rode all night through a thunderstorm from July 1st to 2nd to Philadelphia to vote at the Continental Congress to break his delegation’s deadlock on declaring independence from England July 1776.
In a small room upstairs was an exhibit of sculptures of recent Presidents of the United States.
A current exhibit titled “Emeline Hawkins: Her Journey from Slavery to Freedom on the Underground Railroad" illustrates the hardships runaway slaves endured on their road to freedom. This exhibit chronicles the story of Emeline Hawkins and her family on their 1845 journey on the Underground Railroad from slavery in Maryland through Delaware and to freedom in Pennsylvania. One part shows mannequins of her and her husband in a jail cell. The exhibit also details the roles of noted Delawareans of the Underground Railroad Freedom Network, including Samuel Burris, a conductor who led the Hawkins family out of Maryland into Delaware, plus stationmasters Thomas Garrett and John Hunn, who sheltered the family and aided their escape into Pennsylvania. Additionally, the exhibit tells about the famous federal trial at the New Castle Court House in 1848 which resulted in the conviction of Hunn and Garrett on charges of violating the Federal Fugitive Slave Act.
Besides being a state museum, it is component of First State National Monument, Delaware’s first National Park Service unit and the 400th unit of the national park system. It was established by executive proclamation by President Obama on March 25, 2013 under the Antiquities Act. The New Castle portion includes the whole complex: the court house, the green, and sheriff’s house.
The national monument celebrates Delaware’s rich history from its Native American roots to early settlement by Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, and English colonists to its part in America’s struggle for independence to its distinction as the first state to ratify the United State Constitution.
For those who participate in the Passport to Your National Parks Program, the location of the passport cancellation stamps are located in the hallway near offices at the court house. One has to ask for them as there are no National Park Service Rangers onsite. The stamps read:
● First State National Monument - New Castle, DE
● Underground Railroad Freedom Network - New Castle Court House Museum
Public restrooms are in the basement. Access is on the Market Street side on the building.
New Castle is steeped in history. Under Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch build Fort Casimir In 1651. The Duke of York captured the town in 1664. William Penn arrived in 1682. The Marquis de Lafayette stopped by and was asked to give a bride away at a wedding in 1824.
A stone wall in West Yorkshire shows the results of the errosive power of the local weather. Yorkshire sandstone is useful because it can be very easily worked, but its layered structure and crumbly consistency means that it suffers from wind and rain, even coming away in sheets when ice forces it apart.
