THEN & NOW: THE LAFD FIRE STATION 4 (DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES/CIVIC CENTER)-PART 2

Posted by admin on June 21st, 2010 and filed under fire station | 3 Comments »

The following is a look inside of old Fire Station 4 which served the downtown area/Civic Center of L.A. between 1948 and 2007. The LAFD station was located at 800 North Main Street and is one of 106 fire stations serving the city of Los Angeles. The station was replaced by a newer structure located at 450 Temple Street. This station, along with many others, were the subject of “Then & Now: The LAFD”. The project, produced by Westlake Signal Group visited many stations that were part of the “Prop F” Replacement project that replaced many of these classic old buildings. Then & Now: The LAFD won the Telly Award for Excellence in Documentary Film Production among many other honors and presentations. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS BUILDING HAS BEEN DEMOLISHED.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Firefighter Brian Carey, Homewood, IL Press Release

HOMEWOOD, IL March 31, 2010 Last evening, Tuesday, March 30, 2010 before 9:00 PM, the Homewood Fire Department was dispatched to a report of a structure fire at a single-family residence at 17622 Lincoln Avenue in Homewood. First arriving fire crews found a house with visible smoke and flames, and were advised that at least one occupant remained inside the structure.

Firefighters initiated rescue and extinguishment operations, and, upon entering the structure, encountered heavy heat and fire conditions. Because of the extreme heat and the amount of fire burning inside the house, the sole occupant, 87-year old Wendell H. Elias, could not be reached and his body was located after entry could be made. The other occupant of the house, 89-year old Bertha A. Elias, had escaped and was transported to South Suburban Hospital with non-fire related injuries. She is in stable condition at this time.

During the rescue attempt, Homewood firefighter paramedics, Brian Carey (28 years old) and Karra Kopas (21-year old) were injured. They were taken by ambulance to South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest (IL) where they were treated. Firefighter Carey succumbed to his injuries and passed away while at the hospital. Firefighter Kopas suffered first and second degree burns and is in stable condition at the University of Chicago Burn Center.

Firefighter/Paramedic Carey joined the Homewood Fire Department as a part-time firefighter/paramedic on August 20, 2008, and was hired as a full-time firefighter/paramedic on December 13, 2009. Firefighter/Paramedic Kopas joined the Homewood Fire Department as a part-time firefighter/paramedic on June 23, 2005.
