Station Fire : The Station Fire started off Angeles Crest Highway (SR 2) about one mile above Angeles Crest Fire Station around 3:30pm Wednesday. After 6 days, the Station Fire is now at 127,513 acres. The Station Fire continues to burn within the Angeles National Forest and near surrounding foothill communities of La Canada-Flintridge, La Crescenta, Acton, Soledad Canyon, Pasadena and Glendale. Steep terrain, decadent old growth brush and hot dry weather are factors that drive fire activity. Evacuations and a forest closure order remain in effect. More photos to follow

Main I/C Major Alarm Structure Fire : On Friday, September 18, 2009 at 0:27 AM, 11 Companies of Los Angeles Firefighters, 4 LAFD Rescue Ambulances, 1 Arson Unit, 2 Urban Search and Rescue Units, 1 Rehab Unit, 2 EMS Battalion Captains, 3 Battalion Chief Officer Command Teams, 1 Division Chief Officer Command Team, under the direction of Battalion Chief Greg Gibson responded to a 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.

The Fire Fighter's Prayer: "When I am called to duty God... Wherever flames may rage...Give me strength to save a life whatver be its age. Let me embrace a little child...Before its too late...Or save and older person from the horror of that fate. Enable me to be alert...And hear the weakened shout...And quickly and efficiently...Put the fire out. I want to fill my calling...To give the best in me...To guard my friend and neighbor...And protect their property. And, if...according to Your will...While o duty I must answer deaths call...Bless with you protecting hand...My family, one and all."
