As I was heading home for lunch today I got the alert of a structure fire at an apartment complex in Live Oak. I was hungry and don't typically respond to structure fires unless they are very nearby my present location.
When I heard the second alarm call go out I decided to go ahead and head down. I was able to park a few blocks away and walk to the scene, the fire was mostly knocked down, but I grabbed a few shots and headed back to the office to make selections and get them uploaded.
This type of photography for now is just one of my hobbies, and it's always great to have an image picked up by local media, here the Santa Cruz Sentinel and KSBW news ran one of my images of the firefighters on the roof.
I kept trying to get better angles (minus the tree while adding the nearby flames) but was stuck in a small area with police tape on both sides of me, so I got what I could with what I had. Plus I didn't have any of my usual cameras or lenses, I was only on my way to lunch after all!

SAN FERNANDO - Over 100 LAFD firefighters responded to a structure fire in a one-story church in the City of San Fernando on July 9, 2024. Ambient temperatures of up to 105°F were recorded outside, as firefighters went to work cutting open the roof from above, and penetrating the ceilings from below, to make access to the stubborn attic fire. The occupants who were inside the building at the time safely evacuated prior to LAFD arrival. Crews continued battling in the hot weather to eliminate all remaining fire in just over two hours. During the incident, four firefighters sought medical help from on-scene paramedics due to heat-related illness. Three of them rested and recovered on scene and then continue working, and one was transported to a local hospital for further evaluation and care. The fire appeared to have been caused by rooftop construction, but the official cause is still under investigation.
