00:03:37Morning, Danny.
00:03:38Hi, Bill.
00:03:40New kid on the block?
00:03:41Yeah, it just came on last week.
00:03:43Waiting to get his feet wet.
00:03:45Hey, Danny, today's your lucky day.
00:03:48I can feel it.

00:04:22Kelly's having his party tonight on some guy's boat
00:04:27in the marina. Can you picture it? Not on a full stomach
00:04:30Did you see the invitation? Under suggested attire he puts
00:04:34wetsuit. Are you going? Gotta work
00:04:38Oh come on Paul, give it a rest. They already gave you the gold star this month
00:04:42What else do you want? A name instead of a number in my parking space. You're dreaming
00:04:46Hey, try to make it tonight
00:04:52Hi, good morning
00:04:56Good morning, smiley
00:04:58Happy birthday. Oh, you remember
00:05:02Oh, better than that
00:05:04Oh, Allison, I can't believe you actually went out and bought me a present
00:05:08That's so sweet. Well, there it is, so you better believe it, but you can't open it till Saturday
00:05:12Oh, don't make me wait. Sorry. Oh, that's not fair
00:05:15So, how's Kevin? Kevin's great. How's John? Oh, crotchety at 33
00:05:22So, how's it feel to be 30? Oh, I wouldn't know. I'm only 28 turning 29
00:05:26Oh, come on. No, I really am. I swear to God
00:05:28Oh, now wait a minute. Is this a sympathy present?
00:05:34Well, you want it back?
00:05:36No, go ahead and keep it. So you'll be 30 next year, but guess what? So will you
00:05:41Again? See ya
00:05:43Thanks
00:05:44Bye
00:05:44Bye
00:05:45Who's cooking today? Perez, Cap, and Taylor's helping him
00:05:59Go easy on the salt, okay, Perez
00:06:02Yes, sir
00:06:04Why, you want a dying, Cap?
00:06:06Nah, just trying to be a little sensible, that's all
00:06:08Come on, you got a job
00:06:09You're a sensible man
00:06:10You're a sensible man
00:06:29Free for lunch?
00:06:30Oh, gosh, yes, come on
00:06:31How about a picnic?
00:06:32How about a picnic?
00:06:33Oh, I love it. What did you get?
00:06:41May there be many more days as lovely as this
00:06:43I'll drink to that
00:06:45And half as many nights when you don't get home until 11 o'clock
00:06:48Look, I know you're determined to be the most dedicated and productive employee in the entire company
00:06:53That's all well and good, Susan, but it's seriously jeopardizing the prime of our lives
00:06:57I'm beginning to wonder if we're not missing out on a lot more than sleep
00:07:00I know
00:07:02But aren't we supposed to be building a better tomorrow? I mean, isn't that what we're doing?
00:07:07You know what my father used to say?
00:07:09What?
00:07:10Who cares about being the wealthiest man in the graveyard?
00:07:16You know, you work late, then maybe I work late, then we both work late
00:07:21Pretty soon we're 65 years old
00:07:23We've got financial security coming out our ears, but how many memories do we have?
00:07:26We have this one
00:07:27Yeah, sure we do, because one of us took the time to make it possible
00:07:32It's getting to be so easy to lose the time, Susan
00:07:36Too easy
00:07:39Where does it all go? Right? Isn't that what we're always saying?
00:07:43I'll tell you what
00:07:46Let's do something this weekend
00:07:49Okay?
00:07:50We'll make a memory
00:07:51We'll make a memory
00:07:55It's a start, isn't it?
00:07:58I love you

00:08:28Hi, Marica
00:08:29I picked the very best, Roberto and Juan

00:08:34I pick the ones that don't

00:08:39Great, it's great, Diego
00:08:41Listen, how do I say don't move the drop cloth while I'm still standing on it?
00:08:46Catch you later, amigo, I got a couple of pumps to shut down
00:08:49Hey, you shut down those pumps, Mr. Sprinkler engineer

00:20:11The pots are down.
00:20:12There's no water.
00:20:14The building's on fire.
00:20:17There's no damn water.
00:20:19I'm not gonna make it.
00:20:22Help me!
00:20:23You go ahead.
00:20:26It is better, Diego.
00:20:28Look down, you see?
00:20:30You see, Diego?
00:20:34We're on the 32nd floor.
00:20:36We can't get an elevator to run.
00:20:38All the stairs are full of smoke.
00:20:40We need help.
00:20:41Can you hear us?
00:20:42We need help.
00:20:43I'm going up.
00:20:44Are you crazy?
00:20:45Try to get a hold of him and tell him I'm on what?
00:20:47Hey, don't do it, man.
00:20:48Forget it.
00:20:49You'll die up there!
00:20:50Good boy.
00:20:51Hello, sir.
00:20:52Uh-huh.
00:20:53Anybody else?
00:20:54We've got the entire east side and about three-fourths of the south side of what looks to be the eleventh or twelfth floor fully involved with fire.
00:20:58OCD from Battalion 1.
00:21:11We've got the entire east side and about three-fourths of the south side
00:21:15of what looks to be the 11th or 12th floor fully involved with fire.
00:21:21I'm going to need five additional task forces, five additional engines.
00:21:25Five task forces, five engines.
00:21:26And five more chief officers.
00:21:29Five chiefs' officers. Roger.
00:21:36Okay, Cap, here's what I want you to do.
00:21:38Split up your task force.
00:21:40Put your engine on fire, attack, and the rest of your task force on lobby control.
00:21:44Right, Chief.
00:21:44We'll set the command post at that corner of the intersection.
00:21:53OCD from Chief Sterling, go.
00:21:55We've got a major emergency high-rise fire chief,
00:21:57First Interstate Bank on Wilshire and Hope.
00:22:00I'm on my way.
00:22:08All right, guys, let's go.
00:22:11Oh, man, look at that party a full night.
00:22:13Dan.
00:22:14Yo.
00:22:15Welcome to the L.A. City Fire Department.
00:22:16Oh, my God.
00:22:36How can there be so much smoke already?
00:22:49Oh!
00:22:57Susan, we're in the middle of the building.
00:22:58It'll take about 20 minutes to get to the roof.
00:23:01Longer to get down if we have to pass the fire.
00:23:04Can we make it either way?
00:23:05The doors in the stairwell are locked on every floor.
00:23:07That's right.
00:23:07We couldn't get out even if we wanted to.
00:23:08It's like a chimney in there.
00:23:10I guess that means we're stuck here, aren't we?
00:23:16Come on.
00:23:17Come on.
00:23:18Get in.
00:23:18Get in.
00:23:18Oh, thank God.
00:23:19Are you okay?
00:23:20Are you okay?
00:23:20What's wrong?
00:23:23I want it closed.
00:23:24Hit it again.
00:23:26Hit it again.
00:23:28Why won't it closed?
00:23:30Security?
00:23:31Security!
00:23:40You guys okay?
00:23:41Okay.
00:23:50It's not ready.
00:23:51The water is so cold.
00:23:52It's not ready.
00:23:52You guys okay?
00:23:53For me, I'm okay.
00:23:55I don't know.
00:23:56I don't know.
00:23:56I don't know.
00:23:57I never thought I'd be at it.
00:23:58I'll be here to pass the fire.
00:24:06Yes, you guys.
00:24:10A storm on fire.
00:24:12I can't see you at all.
00:24:18I'll be here.
00:24:18Mr. Abbaso.
00:24:48Get these people out of the building through one of the garage exits.
00:25:00Nobody goes out those doors, understood?
00:25:03You have a list of the names of the people in the building so we can start doing a head count?
00:25:06Security people, maintenance people, yeah.
00:25:08No office workers, not unless they signed in, told us they were working after hours.
00:25:11But they don't always do that.
00:25:13Okay, start with what you've got.
00:25:14Then let's try to figure out if anybody's still upstairs.
00:25:17Here's the building book.
00:25:18I'll get the rotaries off the truck.
00:25:26I want every air bottle off the truck up there.
00:25:30I'll get the hose back.
00:25:31I'll get the goods here.
00:25:36What floor are you calling from, sir?
00:25:38We're on the 37th floor.
00:25:39Two people on the 37th floor.
00:25:43Can you give me the extension number, please?
00:25:45That's 3705.
00:25:47And your names?
00:25:48Paul DeWitt, Susan Lowell.
00:25:54Okay, have you checked the stairwells for smoke, sir?
00:25:57The stairwells are impossible.
00:25:58We checked...
00:25:59We checked four of them.
00:26:00Yeah, we've already got smoke all around us on the floor.
00:26:05Yeah.
00:26:06Yeah.
00:26:07Yes.
00:26:08Yes.
00:26:11Right.
00:26:11I understand.
00:26:12Okay.
00:26:13Okay.
00:26:15What did they say?
00:26:17They said we did the right thing by staying here.
00:26:20And the fire department's in the building.
00:26:22Somebody will call us back soon.
00:26:25Did they say how serious the fire was?
00:26:27They don't know yet, Sam.
00:26:29They haven't gotten a full report.
00:26:31We've got a running fairway support.
00:26:35Uh, first priority key bottom.
00:26:37Second priority key home.
00:26:39Now, I'll get into the rear.
00:26:41You break the cup now.
00:26:42Let's get these pinks out.
00:26:43You got it.
00:26:47You believe that?
00:26:57Somebody mismarked the damn key.
00:26:59Yo, Billy, center field.
00:27:01Check yours.
00:27:02If it doesn't work, break it down.
00:27:03Roger.
00:27:04Give me the tool.
00:27:07All right, Stinkler.
00:27:13I see from fire attack.
00:27:41Barely, here it is.
00:27:4310th floor is clear for staging.
00:27:46We're moving up to the fire floor.
00:27:47Roger.
00:27:56Heavy smoke.
00:27:57No fire.
00:27:59OCD from Chief Sterling on nine.
00:28:02Chief Sterling from OCD, go.
00:28:04Yeah, I want a complete 360-degree survey
00:28:05from Air Ops ASAP.
00:28:07Chief Sterling from fire one, do you reach?
00:28:09Fire one, go.
00:28:10We're looking at the 12th floor now, Chief.
00:28:12Smoke is curling around the structure.
00:28:14Flames are lapping up the outside maybe 50 feet.
00:28:17We think we saw some people on the roof.
00:28:19We're heading over right now.
00:28:21That's it, Roger.
00:28:23We need to get us all available
00:28:24handy tokeys as soon as possible.
00:28:27Well, sure, I see, Roger.
00:28:28We'll work on it.
00:28:28This is it.
00:28:39We got fire.
00:28:50Ready?
00:28:50Ready?
00:28:51Ready?
00:29:22Passport 9, in addition to providing fire attacks, I want you to provide ventilation.
00:29:45What's going on? What happened?
00:29:51I don't know. Maybe a bad bounce. Shut off one of the hoses.
00:29:55Get out! Back out! Now! Go!
00:30:03IC for fire attack. Do you read?
00:30:05Fire attack IC, go.
00:30:07We're on the fire floor. We just lost pressure to the hoses. Are you pumping?
00:30:13That is affirmative.
00:30:15Well, what's going on? We need pressure.
00:30:19We just lost power in the stairwells.
00:30:23Repeat.
00:30:25Keep whatever water we've got on that door.
00:30:27If the door goes, we lose this whole stairwell.
00:30:29We lose this whole stairwell.
00:30:46OCD from Chief Sterling.
00:30:47Chief Sterling, go.
00:30:49I'm on the scene in Ascendant Command.
00:30:51Roger.
00:30:56God help us.
00:30:57It helps.
00:31:17Hey, is anybody hurt?
00:31:40No, but I've got to get down fast.
00:31:43The fire pumps are off in the building and nobody knows it.
00:31:45Forget it, nobody's going down.
00:31:46Everybody else, come on, we've got a helicopter up there.
00:31:48Let's go. Come on.
00:31:51Be all right.
00:31:54Light force 10's been assigned to lobby control.
00:31:57Intents 10 and 3, task force 9, and squad 4
00:32:00have all been assigned to fire attack.
00:32:02Intents 9 and 10 to water supply,
00:32:04and battalion 1 is now Wilshire Incident Command.
00:32:07Wilshire IC, roger.
00:32:08We've got water.
00:32:10We've got water.
00:32:12We've got water.
00:32:24We've got water.
00:32:26We've got water.
00:32:28We've got water pressure problems, Chief.
00:32:39We've been trying to sort them out, but we still haven't figured where they're coming from.
00:32:43Do we have pressure up there now?
00:32:44Yeah, but nobody's making any promises about how long it's going to hold.
00:32:47Also, there are generators blowing out.
00:32:49Some floors have electricity and others don't.
00:32:51It is a mess.
00:32:53How many companies are coming in?
00:32:54I put in a request to OCD 10 minutes ago, doubling the existing assignment,
00:32:58and to give us three more battalion chiefs.
00:33:00Also, we've got ten more rescue ambulances on the way,
00:33:03and their office is bringing in two more choppers.
00:33:05What about civilians? Any of the civilians in the building?
00:33:07Well, no, we haven't been able to determine that.
00:33:10OCD got a call from a couple of people, said they were trapped on the 37th floor.
00:33:14We tried calling them back. They didn't answer.
00:33:16Got that extension number?
00:33:17Yeah, Milner does.
00:33:18This is Milner.
00:33:18I am, sir.
00:33:20All right, have OCD try it.
00:33:21Yes, sir.
00:33:22OCD?
00:33:23They don't answer. We have no way of knowing that they're still on that floor.
00:33:26They might have left. The lines might have fried. We just don't know.
00:33:30How about elevators? Any unaccounted for?
00:33:32Lobby control says ten.
00:33:34Ten?
00:33:35All right, I want to find out where they are.
00:33:37I know we can't do anything about it now,
00:33:39but I want to be ready to move the minute we can.
00:33:41We could have people trapped in elevators all over this building.
00:33:46Anything?
00:33:46No, sir. OCD reports no answer.
00:33:49Have them keep trying every few minutes.
00:33:50Every extension on the 37th floor.
00:33:52Yes, sir.
00:33:52Can you verify the HVAC system is off?
00:33:55Yeah, the air conditioning went off automatically at 6 p.m.
00:33:59Tell OCD I want two more task forces,
00:34:01two additional battalion chiefs,
00:34:02and I'm requesting that Division III be assigned to the fire.
00:34:05Yes, sir.
00:34:07I want a structural engineer sent down here.
00:34:09Somebody that knows this building better than I do.
00:34:12Knows what it's made of.
00:34:13How long is it going to keep standing if we can't work a fast miracle?
00:34:15Yes, sir.
00:34:15Yes, sir.
00:34:15Yes, sir.
00:34:16Yes, sir.
00:34:17Yes, sir.
00:34:17Yes, sir.
00:34:17Yes, sir.
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:18Yes, sir.
00:34:19Yes, sir.
00:34:19Yes, sir.
00:34:20Yes, sir.
00:34:21Yes, sir.
00:34:21Yes, sir.
00:34:22Yes, sir.
00:34:31Joe Doyle, chief.
00:34:33We were working on the sprinkler system.
00:34:35We had to turn off the fire pumps tonight,
00:34:37about an hour before the fire started.
00:34:39What?
00:34:39The pumps are down now?
00:34:41Yeah, the only water you're getting is what's stored in the pipes.
00:34:44Why are we just being told about this now, Mr. Doyle?
00:34:46Your unit just pulled him off the roof, sir.
00:34:48I was in the building, 58th floor.
00:34:50We were lucky we got out when we did.
00:34:52If you can get me back into the pump room, I'll have him back on in five minutes.
00:34:56Captain, get this van some gear.
00:34:59Hand him over to Engine 17.
00:35:00Tell him to assist him any way he needs.
00:35:02Go.
00:35:04Chief Sterling from Fire 6.
00:35:06Fire 6, go.
00:35:08The north side of 12 is blasting out real good now,
00:35:10and it looks like it's lapping out of the 13th, too.
00:35:12That's the heaviest fire in the north.
00:35:14Roger, Fire 6.
00:35:31I want to start using this tunnel access right away, right now.
00:35:34I don't want another man going into that building under this storm of glass.
00:35:37You're done.
00:35:38When Reynoso and Powers get here, I want a briefing face to face.
00:35:41I'll be telling stories about this one for years, Chief.
00:35:44Yeah, well, how does it end?
00:35:54Oh, come on.
00:35:55Come on.
00:35:55Come on.
00:35:55Come on.
00:35:57Come on.
00:35:59Come on.
00:36:04All the lines are dead.
00:36:15Got to get some air in here.
00:36:26What are you doing?
00:36:27What are you doing?
00:36:34What are you doing?
00:36:38What are you doing?
00:36:39What are you doing?
00:36:43What are you doing?
00:36:55Get out.
00:36:56Get out.
00:36:57This is not possible.
00:37:27This is not possible.
00:37:57How the hell is a person supposed to get out of here alive?
00:38:27Get ready for water.
00:38:37Okay, we got pressure.
00:38:39Watch yourselves.
00:38:40They may not hold.
00:38:41We still got problems with the pumps.
00:38:43Let's go for it.
00:38:57Let's go for it.
00:39:27Let's go for it.
00:39:34Truck 3, take stairway 6A and go to 10th floor staging.
00:39:40Truck 9, take stairway 5A and go to 10th floor staging.
00:39:44It's my birthday this weekend.
00:40:03Happy birthday.
00:40:09A girlfriend of mine gave me a present this morning.
00:40:12Why don't you open it now?
00:40:18I was thinking about it, but I promised her I'd wait till my birthday this weekend.
00:40:26It's probably just something silly anyway.
00:40:28I think the only reason she bought it was because she was feeling sorry for me.
00:40:32She thought I was turning 30.
00:40:39How old are you?
00:40:4030.
00:40:41Oh, shit.
00:40:42Yeah, I'm over the hill.
00:40:44And I'm an Aries.
00:40:45It's a fire sign.
00:40:47Funny.
00:40:47Maybe we should try the stairs again.
00:40:57We won't make it.
00:40:59Well, we don't know that for sure.
00:41:00I think we do.
00:41:03It would be worth a try.
00:41:04We'd be dead, Paul.
00:41:10It's as simple as that.
00:41:12We made the right choice.
00:41:13Even the fire department said we made the right choice.
00:41:15Yeah.
00:41:20Now all we have to do is live with it.
00:41:34I'm going to get out of there!
00:41:59Go!
00:42:00Go!
00:42:04Put down your toes!
00:42:25It's crazy up there!
00:42:26Hey, make sure you're foul, brother.
00:42:28You spray water?
00:42:29Yeah, it's real trouble.
00:42:30Red stuff turns to steam?
00:42:32You can feel it all the way to the backs of your eyeballs.
00:42:34The ceiling's coming down.
00:42:36One bottle's not going to be out.
00:42:36He keeps grabbing at you, trying to tie you up.
00:42:40These are 30-minute air bottles.
00:42:4215 minutes.
00:42:48Hey, I'll stay.
00:42:50Here, take your blow down here.
00:42:54Watch yourselves.
00:42:55We have.
00:42:56This is what we're going to remember.
00:42:59All this is farewell.
00:43:00Get out.
00:43:01Get out.
00:43:09Got to get some water.
00:43:09I'm dying of thirst.
00:43:11I got some guys scrounging around for some now.
00:43:15Radio's hardly work at all up here.
00:43:18Just about useless.
00:43:20It's just about useless, and it takes a long time
00:43:24walking up and down those stairs, carrying a message.
00:43:29We're gonna beat this thing.
00:43:32Just wait and see.
00:43:34They're right, Danny.
00:43:37Right, Perez.
00:43:45Well, I don't know about you boys,
00:43:48but I got tickets to tomorrow's game.
00:43:50And you better believe I'm gonna be there.
00:43:54Yeah.
00:44:05Hi, honey, it's me.
00:44:06It's about 5 after 10, and I'm just about finished.
00:44:10Almost as advertised, right?
00:44:12I'll be home around 11.
00:44:13I'll see you then.
00:44:15Kev, I've been thinking a lot about what
00:44:17she said today, and I really meant it about this weekend.
00:44:20Maybe we could do something special, like fly to Vienna
00:44:24or something.
00:44:25Wait up for me, OK?
00:44:27Hi, Susan.
00:44:28It's Allison.
00:44:29In case you haven't already heard,
00:44:31don't bother coming to work tomorrow.
00:44:33The building's burning down.
00:44:34See ya.
00:44:35Oh, by the way, you can open the present if you want to.
00:44:42Hundreds of Los Angeles firefighters have been working for over an hour and a half
00:44:46to gain control over what's already being called the worst high-rise fire in the history of the city.
00:44:51Flames have already consumed most of the 12th floor of the 62-story bank building,
00:44:57the tallest building in Los Angeles.
00:45:13Come on.
00:45:27Oh, my God.
00:45:57Here! Here!
00:46:00Here! Here!
00:46:03Here! Here!
00:46:06Here! Here!
00:46:18Air ops is reporting a civilian trapped on the 50th floor,
00:46:21so I'm signaling from the window.
00:46:23I've airlifted two companies to the roof.
00:46:25They'll try to get to him down one of the stairwells.
00:46:27That can't be done, Chief.
00:46:29They can't go down 12 flights of stairs and back up again in that smoke,
00:46:32even with 60-minute air bottles.
00:46:34I don't care what shape they're in. I gotta let them try.
00:46:36What about the two people on the 37th floor?
00:46:38No answer on the phone, not on any phone on the entire 37th floor.
00:46:41Maybe they got out before it got bad.
00:46:43They went up or down.
00:46:44If they tried to get out, they wouldn't have lasted five minutes on one of those stairways.
00:46:47Well, then maybe they're still upstairs, and they just can't hear the phone.
00:46:50Point is, there's nothing we can do about it, not that one.
00:46:53I've got a dozen search and rescue spots standing by,
00:46:55ready to move in the minute the fire's knocked out, but not before.
00:46:58You know, sir, I want you to take over the 10th floor staging, okay?
00:47:01Get it in shape, get it working.
00:47:02Yes, sir.
00:47:03Just have you take a look at this.
00:47:06Floors 12 and 13, they're right off. They're gone.
00:47:10All we gotta do, if we've got any kind of prayer, sing in this building.
00:47:13Slow the fire on 14 and 15, drive it into the core of the building,
00:47:16so that when it reaches 16, it doesn't get there with this kind of size or heat.
00:47:20Does that understand?
00:47:21Okay, Chief Powers, I want you and your men here on 14 and 15.
00:47:25Who stood, Chief?
00:47:26Lloyd, you got 16. That's where we make our final stand.
00:47:30Powers can reduce the heat on his floors.
00:47:33You've got a hell of a chance to stop him, but if he can't...
00:47:37All right, let's do it. Let's go to work.
00:47:39Good luck, Chief.
00:47:41This is Air Ops. We've got Fire Six standing by with the light on the individual on the 50th floor.
00:47:46I think he's seen us, so we will stay out here just to let him know he isn't being forgotten.
00:47:50That was no use.
00:48:12The refrigerator.
00:48:22What? What about it?
00:48:25It's sealed. The air inside should still be clean.
00:48:29You go first. It was your idea.
00:48:32No, come on. You do it.
00:48:36Wait. Wait. Don't open it.
00:48:38Okay. Don't open it.
00:48:39Okay.
00:48:40Come on. Okay. Here we go.
00:48:43Okay.
00:48:44How was it that?
00:48:56It's wonderful.
00:48:57It's wonderful.
00:48:58I reckon.
00:48:59Oh, how was it?
00:49:08It's wonderful.
00:49:10Eric.
00:49:16Eric.
00:49:17Eric.
00:49:24Makes you dizzy.
00:49:26How many breaths did you bring?
00:49:29Not enough.
00:49:52Chief Sterling?
00:49:53Yes.
00:49:54Willa Reeves.
00:49:56You sent for me.
00:49:56I'm a structural engineer.
00:49:58Oh, talk to me, Ms. Reeves.
00:50:00All right.
00:50:01You've got a 15-year-old, 62-story structural steel building.
00:50:05It's got glass curtain walls built around the center core.
00:50:08You've probably got 2,000 degrees of fire spreading horizontally as well as vertically.
00:50:13I know who the builder was on this, Chief, and he's got credentials higher than the roof.
00:50:17I'm sure he does, but if it stays too hot enough or too long, none of that's going to really matter.
00:50:21Now, tell me what's really possible, Ms. Reeves.
00:50:23What's possible, Chief Sterling, is that the building could break apart where the heat's
00:50:27at its greatest, right there.
00:50:30The top 50 floors could end up a pile of rubble on the street.
00:50:34How great is that possibility?
00:50:36I can't answer that.
00:50:37I'm sorry.
00:50:39There's no way of knowing, not from out here.
00:50:40All I can tell you is that it could happen.
00:50:44Look, we have civilians still unaccounted for and may be trapped inside, and over 200 firefighters.
00:50:49How much time do I have, Ms. Reeves?
00:50:52Do you really believe you have a chance of beating this fire, Chief?
00:50:55That's my intention.
00:50:57Can you do it in the next two hours?
00:51:03I don't know that.
00:51:04Because if it burns past the 17th floor, I think it's gone one way or the other.
00:51:19What's your IC from Chief Reynoso?
00:51:21Do you read?
00:51:21Chief Reynoso, go.
00:51:23We need to double the size of the stairwell support team.
00:51:26One hell of a hike, and one hell of a mess up here.
00:51:30I'm looking at thousands of gallons of water coming down every minute.
00:51:33No lights.
00:51:35The battery's going dead.
00:51:37I roger that.
00:51:38OCD?
00:51:40There's a real old blood taker up there, Chief.
00:51:41Yeah, tell me about it, son.
00:51:47Watch yourselves.
00:51:50It's bad in here.
00:52:00This doesn't look good.
00:52:02Get ready to bail.
00:52:03Let's get some lines in here from all four stairwells.
00:52:18The Chief told us to hit the fire hard.
00:52:21That's what we're going to do.
00:52:22Roger that.
00:52:25Blackover, get off the floor.
00:52:27Quick.
00:52:28Move it.
00:52:28Move it.
00:52:44Move it.
00:52:46Move it.
00:52:48Off the floor.
00:52:51Move it.
00:52:53Move it.
00:52:54Move it.
00:53:54Air Ops from Air...
00:53:58Air Ops from Air Engine 78.
00:54:04Stairwheels are untenable.
00:54:06It is impossible to get to the individual on the 50th floor by the stairs.
00:54:10We're going to...
00:54:12We're going to have to try something else.
00:54:14We're going to have to try something else.
00:54:44There's something I can do for you.
00:54:57I just... I want to talk to whoever's in charge.
00:54:59I think my girlfriend is still in the building on the 37th floor.
00:55:02No one will tell me anything.
00:55:03Just calm down.
00:55:05Last time anybody spoke to anybody on those floors was several hours ago.
00:55:08What does that mean?
00:55:09Only that we don't know if they might have left the floor or if they're still there and the lines are down.
00:55:12So no one's even tried to get to them?
00:55:14Milner.
00:55:15Yes, sir.
00:55:16I'm Chief Sterling.
00:55:17You are?
00:55:18Kevin Miles.
00:55:19Let me try to explain the situation to you, Mr. Miles, all right?
00:55:23Now, each one of these men you're looking at are carrying 100 pounds a year.
00:55:26They're in superb physical condition.
00:55:28But it still takes them a minute to walk a flight of stairs, up or down.
00:55:32Now, above the 10th floor in this building, they have to use air because all the stairways are completely filled with smoke.
00:55:36Now, if I send in a search and rescue team at this time, to look for two individuals who may or may not still be on that floor,
00:55:43they would have to walk up 27 flights of stairs, past the staging area, locate the two individuals, and then bring them back down another 27 floors.
00:55:50Now, that's 54 minutes under ideal conditions.
00:55:53Without any search time, we'll carry 60-minute bodies there.
00:56:01We're doing the best we can, Mr. Miles.
00:56:03How are you doing, people?
00:56:29Good.
00:56:29That's good.
00:56:31You all right?
00:56:31Good job.
00:56:33What's your name, son?
00:56:39Baldwin, sir.
00:56:40How many times have you been up on the floor tonight, Baldwin?
00:56:42Four times, sir.
00:56:44You have a radio?
00:56:45No, sir.
00:56:46You do now?
00:56:47From now on, you're off the floor and by my side.
00:56:50You stick to me like glue.
00:56:52Whenever I want a message sent to IC or OCD or air ops, or even God, you're the one that sends it.
00:56:57Understood?
00:56:57Yes, sir.
00:56:57Yes, sir.
00:56:59Does God have call letters?
00:57:02We're going to get along just fine, Baldwin.
00:57:07Can you whistle, Baldwin?
00:57:07You people have been doing a tremendous job tonight.
00:57:14But your housekeeping stinks.
00:57:15So this is what we're going to do for starters.
00:57:20I'm going to ask all you firefighters who haven't been up on the fire floor tonight to move over to this side of the floor.
00:57:25All the rest of you, all the rehabs, over there.
00:57:29Makes it a lot easier for me to keep inventory.
00:57:34From this point on, nobody goes upstairs for any reason.
00:57:37Unless they're taking the place of a firefighter who's come down.
00:57:41And Mr. Baldwin, he'll be keeping tabs of all those moves.
00:57:44That means everybody's going to have to clear through him.
00:57:46Understood?
00:57:47Yes, sir.
00:57:49This unholy mess of air bottles.
00:57:51Want a couple of you people to come over here and sort through them.
00:57:53Give me two completely separate areas.
00:57:55One for empties, one for full.
00:57:57Baldwin.
00:57:58Yes, sir.
00:57:58Get air ops to tell the Chava pilots to stop flying so close to these windows.
00:58:02They're blowing smoke back into the building.
00:58:04A couple of you guys over there grab some pickaxes.
00:58:06Let's knock these windows out.
00:58:07Let's get some ventilation in here.
00:58:08Go away from the building.
00:58:09We've got too much wind up here.
00:58:12Go down to IC.
00:58:13Tell them that some glass is going to be coming down their way.
00:58:16Watch their heads.
00:58:17I see this is Battalion 9.
00:58:19And then tell them we need some drinking water.
00:58:21Some juices.
00:58:22Watch yourselves.
00:58:23How about some Machaco burritos?
00:58:25You also need water.
00:58:27And then let's put this fire out.
00:58:28Yeah!
00:58:28Yeah!
00:58:29Yeah!
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:59Yeah.
00:59:29Yeah.
00:59:59Yeah.
01:00:29I thought about writing a letter, too.
01:00:36Yeah, why didn't you?
01:00:38Maybe for the same reason you didn't.
01:00:41I'm not ready to think we're going to die here, either.
01:00:45So I couldn't bring myself to say goodbye.
01:00:50Were you married?
01:00:51No.
01:00:53You?
01:00:56No, but I've been living with someone for seven years.
01:00:59His name's Kevin.
01:01:03And he's wonderful.
01:01:06Where's Kevin tonight?
01:01:08Oh, I'm sure he's at home wondering where I am.
01:01:11He's probably thinking of little things to do to surprise me.
01:01:15He does that a lot.
01:01:17That's nice.
01:01:19What do you do?
01:01:24I guess I plan for the future.
01:01:29God, I'm a jerk.
01:01:32Susan, I don't think we're going to last much longer up here.
01:01:34What's with these bottles?
01:01:42I've been thinking about what you said about trying the stairs.
01:01:47What do you think?
01:01:50The smoky air coming into the bottle gets filtered by this wet paper towel.
01:01:54And then we can breathe the clean air out of the sand.
01:01:59Like that.
01:02:00Looks ridiculous.
01:02:01So did the first diving suit.
01:02:04But I'm going to dry it in the stairwell.
01:02:06Will you come with me?
01:02:10Paul, if it works, we can get out.
01:02:12It's worth trying, isn't it?
01:02:14It's worth trying, isn't it?
01:02:44Susan, the door!
01:02:48Susan, the door!
01:03:05Moise!
01:03:06Moise!
01:03:06Roger.
01:03:14Chief, the airborne company on the roof wants you to send to the 50th floor
01:03:19on a window-washing rig that they found up there.
01:03:24Got anybody with them that knows how to run the thing?
01:03:26No, not exactly.
01:03:29We don't need any more drama than we already got.
01:03:32Remind Captain Driscoll that we got power outages all over the building,
01:03:35and then tell him his request is denied.
01:03:37Yes, sir.
01:03:38That chopper still had the individual on that floor inside?
01:03:40No, sir. We lost it about five minutes ago.
01:03:43Damn it.
01:03:44When are we going to get something going our way?
01:03:46We keep going higher, but it doesn't get any cooler.
01:04:08We need lines up here, Captain.
01:04:12I want you to bust out those windows.
01:04:15See if we can bend this area.
01:04:17Roger.
01:04:19You two, take out those windows.
01:04:23If we lose 16, it's all over.
01:04:26Chief, what?
01:04:47Chief, what?
01:04:57Doyle, how are the pumps holding up?
01:05:00So far, so good.
01:05:01I want you to know, I think I can get the sprinklers operational a few floors above the fire.
01:05:07Well, if we turn them on, what happens to the water we're using to fight the fire?
01:05:10No guarantees, Chief. You could lose it.
01:05:13I can't risk that.
01:05:14What's the alternative?
01:05:15Stop it on the 16th.
01:05:16And if you can't?
01:05:17Well, if I can't, I got crews fighting five floors of fire for all the resources I've got.
01:05:22So you'll lose the building.
01:05:24No, Mr. Doyle, I won't lose this building.
01:05:26Let me go up there, Chief.
01:05:28That's out of the question.
01:05:28Give me some gear and a couple of men.
01:05:30Forget it.
01:05:31We can set up the sprinklers on 17 through 19.
01:05:33I can fix them so we can turn them on by operating one valve on each floor, but not until you give the order.
01:05:38You're a civilian, Mr. Doyle.
01:05:40Listen to me for a minute, Chief.
01:05:41We got high-rises all over the city that aren't equipped with sprinklers because they were built prior to 74,
01:05:46and there was no law saying they had to be.
01:05:48The company that owns this one spent three and a half million dollars in this system, and nobody even asked them.
01:05:52Chief, it's my job to get them set up and working.
01:05:55I figure the extra effort to do them, don't you?
01:05:58Look, you've already done more than your share.
01:06:00I heard there's people trapped inside.
01:06:05At least one, maybe three.
01:06:07I'd like to try and help, Chief.
01:06:10Don't ask me to give a civilian authorization to walk into that building past five floors of fire,
01:06:14up 19 flights of stairs to an uncertain destination.
01:06:16Mr. Doyle, if you want to help, I'll give you all the spare firefighters I can.
01:06:29You make sure they have all the right tools, but you're going to stand right over there and talk to them over that radio.
01:06:33Let them be your hands and do whatever needs to be done.
01:06:36Now, you make that call.
01:06:38Okay.
01:06:40Thanks.
01:06:42Milner?
01:06:42Yes, sir?
01:06:43He's going to need some gear. Make sure he gets it all.
01:06:45What can I do for you?
01:06:46Pipe wrench, probe bar, and some piping.
01:06:49You've got it.
01:06:51OCD.
01:06:56I was invited to a party.
01:06:58When?
01:06:59Tonight.
01:07:01Last night.
01:07:03On a big boat in the marina.
01:07:08It's weird, huh?
01:07:10That's where I could have been.
01:07:13I should have been.
01:07:16On a whole ocean full of water.
01:07:20God, why didn't I go?
01:07:24Why did I stay?
01:07:25We're running short of air bottles.
01:07:43You see about sending me up 200 more?
01:07:45You hike up four different stairwells.
01:07:48You see four completely different fires.
01:07:50We're just running out of bodies.
01:07:51It's as simple as all that.
01:07:53You need to send me up more firefighters.
01:07:54Roger, I copied that.
01:07:56We're bringing in as many companies as we can get,
01:07:57and we're sending them up to you as soon as they get here.
01:08:00Roger.
01:08:01Bowling.
01:08:01Yes, sir.
01:08:04Take Perry's and Anderson.
01:08:05Go to 14.
01:08:06And hold that floor.
01:08:07Yes, sir.
01:08:10Are they making you up again?
01:08:11You bet.
01:08:11You guys are both coming with me.
01:08:13Stand by.
01:08:19Sir, we have a police department unit that wants to use one of our helicopters as a platform
01:08:24to shoot out some windows.
01:08:27Did you repeat that, Miller?
01:08:28What it is, sir, it's an offer from air ops from a police unit to shoot out some windows on the 50th floor
01:08:34because we still have one person trapped in it.
01:08:36And I guess either an LAPD or a county sheriff sharpshooter is ready to do that.
01:08:44To air ops and any sharpshooter who's listening,
01:08:47this is Chief Sterling.
01:08:49Please be advised if that's a negative.
01:08:52Request is denied.
01:08:53Repeat.
01:08:54Request to shoot out windows on any floor is denied.
01:08:56We're fighting a fire here, gentlemen, not making a Clint Eastwood movie.
01:09:01Chief Sterling from air ops understood, Roger.
01:09:04Found another stairwell.
01:09:07The heat's not so bad in this one.
01:09:09I see from engine nine.
01:09:11We've located a stairway under the helipad.
01:09:13We're going to attempt a rescue of the civilian on the 50th floor.
01:09:26Did you hear that?
01:09:29What?
01:09:32It sounds like a helicopter.
01:09:35Didn't hear it.
01:09:46Paul.
01:09:48What?
01:09:48I'm really sorry that we never got a chance to know each other.
01:09:55I mean, before tonight.
01:10:02Yeah.
01:10:08I don't want to die up here.
01:10:11Me either.
01:10:16I think we're going to.
01:10:18You hear that?
01:10:26What?
01:10:26It's a helicopter.
01:10:27I don't know.
01:10:49Oh, yeah.
01:10:55Over here.
01:10:59Over here.
01:11:08No.
01:11:10Go.
01:11:10Please, O.B.R.I.E.
01:11:11We're over here.
01:11:12Don't you see me?
01:11:14Please see me!
01:11:15Oh, hello!
01:11:16We're here!
01:11:17We're here!
01:11:18No!
01:11:19Oh, please see me!
01:11:20We're here!
01:11:21Yes, we're here!
01:11:22Come back!
01:11:23Oh, please!
01:11:24Please help us!
01:11:44Come back!
01:12:09Doyle!
01:12:10Go, Wylar!
01:12:11The Sprink was out!
01:12:12Go, Weiler.
01:12:13The sprinkler's set.
01:12:15Let us know what else the chief wants us to do.
01:12:19And Doyle!
01:12:21Next time, do your own damn plumbing.
01:12:24Will do. Good work, Captain.
01:12:27Captain Weiler's ready, Chief.
01:12:29They can turn the sprinklers on whenever you say.
01:12:31Do I need to use them, Chief?
01:12:33Well, only as a final option.
01:12:35But I'm just about there.
01:12:37Some of those floors may not be able to stand the weight of the water.
01:12:40I'm aware of that, Miss Reeves.
01:12:42How much time do you think I have?
01:12:45Maybe 30 minutes.
01:13:09Pa.
01:13:10Pa.
01:13:12Pa.
01:13:20Pa, where are you?
01:13:21Oh, my God.
01:13:51Oh, my God.
01:14:21Oh, my God.
01:14:51Oh, my God.
01:15:21They don't have enough air to stay up there this long.
01:15:24Cap.
01:15:25Get up to the 14th floor fast.
01:15:27We may have some people down.
01:15:29Move, quickly.
01:15:29Let's go.
01:15:30Come on, let's go.
01:15:35We're out of air.
01:15:36No.
01:15:37I'm staying.
01:15:39I'm not leaving this floor.
01:15:41You go get help.
01:15:49Baldwin, I gotta get out.
01:15:51I can't breathe.
01:15:52Hang on, Danny.
01:15:54We can't stop now.
01:15:56We're pushing it back.
01:15:59We need help up here.
01:16:00Give me the nozzle and follow me up.
01:16:02Raise, Chief Lloyd.
01:16:16Chief Lloyd.
01:16:18Chief Lloyd.
01:16:23This is Chief Lloyd.
01:16:24Chief Sterling is requesting a size-up, sir.
01:16:27We've got smoke and a lot of heat on the 17th floor, but no fire.
01:16:34Repeat, no fire on 17.
01:16:37We've got a handle on it.
01:17:04Keep pushing it back to the center.
01:17:10Keep hitting the ceiling.
01:17:11We're moving in on it.
01:17:34Get Chief Powers.
01:17:56Chief Powers?
01:17:57Chief Powers?
01:17:59Chief Powers?
01:17:59We'll see your IC from Powers on Channel 11.
01:18:08Powers, go.
01:18:09Tell Chief Sterling his plan's working.
01:18:13We may have turned the corner.
01:18:14We're bringing the fire in toward the center on 14 and 15, narrowing it down like we planned.
01:18:20Tell Chief Lloyd to hold it on 16 at all costs.
01:18:23We just might lick this thing.
01:18:26Chief Powers from IC.
01:18:27That is a roger.
01:18:30Raise the air ops.
01:18:31Give me a report.
01:18:31Yes, sir.
01:18:32Air ops?
01:18:33North side's pretty active on the 16th floor, Chief.
01:18:36Less than before.
01:18:37I don't want to jinx it, but the fire seems to be lying down a little on the lower floors.
01:18:41Fire one from air ops, roger.
01:18:43IC from air ops.
01:18:44Did you copy fire one size up?
01:18:48Doyle?
01:18:49Yeah, Chief?
01:18:49We'll hold off on those sprinklers for now.
01:19:12Over here!
01:19:13Okay, my friend.
01:19:34Nice and easy.
01:19:35Okay.
01:19:35Cap, take care of the salvage below the fire floor.
01:19:53Chief, see everyone here that's down the civilian on the 50th floor?
01:19:57He's going to make him and bring him out.
01:19:59I'm searching and rescue to come from base.
01:20:02Go to a staging floor and stand by, huh?
01:20:03Yes, sir.
01:20:05IC from air ops?
01:20:06Air ops, go.
01:20:07We're reporting no more fire lapping up the building.
01:20:10Repeat, the fire is no longer lapping the structure.
01:20:13Air ops from Wilshire I seek.
01:20:15I copy and roger.
01:20:26Get out of here!
01:20:27Get out of here!
01:20:27Get out of here!
01:20:28Get out of here!
01:20:29Milner, as soon as it's possible, I want a search team sent immediately to the 37th floor
01:20:34to find those people who are trapped up there.
01:20:36And I want the five floors immediately above 16 to check for any extension of the fire.
01:20:40Yes, sir.
01:20:42The rest of the building gets divided into five-floor increments.
01:20:45I want one search and rescue team for each five floors.
01:20:48I want teams sent out to every location where we've charted missing elevators.
01:20:52Many of them are between floors, break through the walls.
01:20:55I want them found and I want them open.
01:20:56Yes, sir.
01:20:57I'm afraid that they're empty.
01:21:27They've got to be around here somewhere.
01:21:45Here she is.
01:21:56She's over here.
01:21:57Hold this mask on.
01:22:14Let's get out your floor.
01:22:15Are you up here by yourself?
01:22:36Relax.
01:22:36Just relax.
01:22:37Just relax.
01:22:37Relax.
01:22:38Breathe.
01:22:39Breathe deep.
01:22:40Okay.
01:22:43Is there anyone else up here with you?
01:22:48All right, you stay here with her.
01:22:49We're going to try and find this other person.
01:22:52Don't worry.
01:22:53You're going to be okay.
01:22:54Get you out of here soon.
01:22:54Can you hear me, sir?
01:23:18You're going to be all right.
01:23:20Raise IC.
01:23:27IC from truck nine.
01:23:29Truck nine, go.
01:23:31We have two civilians on the 37th floor.
01:23:33Both are suffering from severe smoke inhalation.
01:23:36We're bringing them down ASAP.
01:23:38Have the paramedics standing by.
01:23:39Do you copy?
01:23:40Roger.
01:23:41Truck nine, copy.
01:23:42Okay, get some help and get him out of here.
01:23:50We're going to go up to 38 and we're going to continue the search.
01:23:54Let's go.
01:24:03IC from Chief Reynoso.
01:24:05Chief Reynoso, go.
01:24:07Are you there, Chief?
01:24:08Yeah, go, Chief.
01:24:09I'm up here with Chief Powers and Chief Lloyd.
01:24:11And a bunch of rowdy firefighters who just weren't going to get beat, Chief.
01:24:15I show it to be 219 in the morning.
01:24:19And you get the honors, Chief.
01:24:29All interested parties from Wilshire IC,
01:24:31Chief Sterling has declared this fire a knockdown at 0-2-19.
01:24:34Oh, yeah!
01:24:35Oh, yeah!
01:24:37All right, good job, good job, good job, guys.
01:24:40Chief, every passenger elevator checks out clean.
01:24:56No one was stranded on any of them.
01:24:58Thank God.
01:24:59They've confirmed one death.
01:25:01One of the building engineers on the service elevator, 12th floor.
01:25:05Chief, excuse me.
01:25:07Hey, man, they found her.
01:25:21They're bringing her down now.
01:25:23She's okay?
01:25:24Well, they both took in a lot of smoke, but she is conscious.
01:25:28So where will they be bringing her out?
01:25:30Right here.
01:25:31It'll be a little while, though.
01:25:32Yeah, I know.
01:25:34It takes a while to walk down 37 flights of stairs, right?
01:25:36That's right.
01:25:37It'll be all right.
01:25:38Okay, thanks.
01:25:39You're welcome.
01:25:41See you still, baby.
01:25:44Let's check out some...
01:25:45Yeah, I think...
01:25:47Let's go over there.
01:25:51We got...
01:25:52We got our...
01:25:52The security's over there.
01:25:53Let them fire.
01:25:54We got some security.
01:25:55We got our...
01:25:55We got our...
01:25:56We got our...
01:25:57We got our...
01:25:58We got our...
01:25:58We got our...
01:25:59We got our...
01:26:00Here we go.
01:26:01Right here.
01:26:01Right here.
01:26:01Yeah.
01:26:10Get on.
01:26:16Susan.
01:26:27Look.
01:26:27And I'm not even that old yet.
01:26:44Chief, I calculated the fall.
01:26:49It would have been on an angle just about like this.
01:26:55Nice work.
01:27:26Thanks for staying with us, Mr. Doyle.
01:27:36Thanks for staying with us, Mr. Doyle.
01:27:51We needed you.
01:27:54Give me a call when this blows over, Chief.
01:27:56I'll buy dinner.
01:27:56We can trade stories about this night.
01:27:58I look forward to it.
01:27:59As a result of this fire, Los Angeles City building codes were changed.
01:28:17The L.A. City Council adopted an ordinance requiring the installation of sprinkler systems in approximately 350 commercial high-rise buildings constructed prior to 1974.
01:28:29Residential high-rises were not included in this ordinance.
