How’d They Build That?…Fire Truck - Chapter Samples
Station Fire sets off a massive electrical explosion… Amazing footage!!!
***Video reposted with permission from the owner and creator, prioroffense.***
This fire is unbelievable!
(For those in a hurry, the EXPLOSION takes place about 1 minute and 40 seconds into this video.)
My buddy and I drove as close to it as we could get without crossing any police or fire department blockades.
We captured this footage of the Station Fire creeping from the Angeles National Forrest toward the La Canada Flintridge area between 11 p.m. on 8/28 and 1 a.m. on 8/29.
To get there, we traveled North from Glendale on the 2, exiting on the 210. From there, we went a few blocks east, then a couple blocks north until we hit a residential area.
Surprisingly, there was barely any smoke lingering in the air - just a steady stream of ash. It wasn’t until we headed back to Glendale on the 2 that we were bombarded with thick, choking smoke.

Station Fire plume timelapse, August 29, 2009
The La Canada Station Fire’s smoke plume is visible all over southern California. Here you can watch it literally explode into a pyrocumulous cloud in the second shot. These two timelapse shots were captured via digital camera and are presented around 75x actual speed (a little over a minute of actual time per second of viewing). The mushroom cloud effect is amazing evidence of the fire’s power. Also amazing is how fast the plume moves, even when viewed from many, many miles away.
