Criminal probe opened into explosion at hash oil supplier in downtown LA that injured a dozen firefighters who had to crawl through a wall of flame to escape as their helmets melted
Police and fire investigators launched a criminal probe Sunday into the cause of an explosion at a hash oil manufacturer in downtown Los Angeles that sent firefighters running for their lives.
Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department's major crimes division were working with the city Fire Department's arson investigators to determine what might have sparked the blast that shot a ball of flames out of the building Saturday night and scorched a fire truck across the street, police spokesman Josh Rubenstein said.
'We're in the very early stages of the investigation ... to understand what happened and figure out how to move forward,' he said.
The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was assisting local fire investigators, an agency spokeswoman said.
The blast injured a dozen firefighters. Some of them who ran out onto sidewalks, where they tore off their burning protective equipment, including melted helmets, officials said.
'Everybody off the roof!' a firefighter shouted in scanner traffic captured on Broadcastify.com.
'Mayday mayday mayday! All companies out of the building. Mayday mayday mayday!' another shouted.
Firefighters first thought they were battling a routine structure fire, city fire Capt. Erik Scott told KNX Radio, but as they got a little farther in the building they started to hear 'a loud hissing sound and a significant rumbling that you could feel vibrating throughout the area.'
He said 'one significant explosion' shook the neighborhood around 6:30 p.m. Firefighters inside had to run through a wall of flames he estimated as 30 feet (9 meters) high and wide, and those on the roof scrambled down a ladder that was engulfed in flames.
Three firefighters were released after spending the night in the hospital, fire department spokesman Nicholas Prange said Sunday.
Of the eight who remained hospitalized, two were in critical but stable condition, he said. Officials initially announced that 11 firefighters were injured. But Prange said a 12th was treated and released for a minor injury.
All were expected to survive.
'Things could have been so much worse,' said Los Angeles Fire Department Medical Director Dr. Marc Eckstein, who helped treat the injured at Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center.
tl;dr, not supposed to use butane to extract THC in the city. And not in urban areas. Something to do with a risk of 30 foot fireballs if the place catches on fire.

Minor petty bitch. But this is why I always hated those stupid plastic Fire Helmets that LA County somehow managed to ramrod through to everybody else. The old leather “New Yorkers” were much better across a wider range of environments.

Are you blind? Quit shielding these guys because they are into your dumb thing. They were pretty obviously playing pretty fast and loose with OSHA HAZMAT rules. You don't get gas-main break level fireballs from a fire of simple butane canisters.
There's rules for handling flammable gasses for a reason. Especially if you are using it as an industrial solvent and now a bunch of people are hurt because dude weed we don't obey the rules maaaaaaaaan.

Stoners should operate Butane...
Its vile. you want the best high possible? use Kief and a Sebsi.
Kief and Hashish are way better than any other form of Cannabis, if you can get clean stuff.

Yes, but we store petrol in great big underground tanks so that if the place catches on fire, only the stuff in the pump goes up.
It's sorta like 100 litres of petrol exploding (being generous), vs, 100,000 litres of petrol exploding. One's a bad day for the street, the other's probably a bad day for a third of a city.

Los Angeles fire chief has lost the use of both of his hands after getting his crew to safety before crawling through a fireball to escape terrifying blaze at hash oil factory
A Los Angeles fire captain has lost the use of both of his hands after he made sure his crew was safe before escaping a terrifying inferno at a hash oil warehouse at the weekend.
Captain Victor Aguirre was the most seriously injured in the explosion at Smoke Tokes, a distributor and wholesaler of smoking and vaping products, in Downtown LA Saturday night, suffering third-degree burns and losing the use of both hands.
Aguirre is one of 12 firefighters who suffered injuries after they had to run through a wall of flames estimated to be as much as 30 feet high and wide, when the flaming building suddenly exploded without warning.
The LAFD is now investigating the cause of the explosion and has said it will launch a review into the way vape and smoke shops store volatile materials across the city, putting firefighters' lives at increased risk when responding to incidents.
Aguirre has been hailed a hero by LA Fire Department Chief Ralph Terrazas who said the father of two put the lives of his crew before his own when they found themselves engulfed by flames.
'I have to say I am so impressed with Capt. Aguirre,' Terrazas told KTLA Thursday.
'He was the last one off the roof. He made sure all of his firefighters were down before he exited the roof.'
Aguirre was said to be working an overtime shift the night of the tragedy.
A GoFundMe page set up for him and his family had reached $149,350 of its $150,000 target by 2pm Friday.

Duterte was right. Kill anyone who so much as glances at drugs. Jesus Christ, imagine losing your hands thanks to some faggot in a queer as fuck store named Smokes Tokes had butane in it.

Is it not sufficient to just leave it for a while and let to butane evaporate or is it stable at room temperature when mixed with the hash oil? Do they just want it quickly or is it actually necessary to heat it?
Obviously industrial production is another kettle of fish and doing extraction with a flammable gas in the middle of a city seems retarded and possibly against OH&S so I’m not commenting on what was actually happening here.

The actual oil isnt bad, its just the butane without proper ventilation. It has to be completely cooked out of the oil, some people go further and use a vacuum chamber to get the residuals out after the cooking.
The heating is only about removing the butane, its hard to get it all out, but the process to make honey oil is quick as well as cheap in comparison to other methods.

In California, even the exploding meth labs are fruity and gay.

my usual process is to confiscate all lighters to prevent accidental explosions, extract it into a Pyrex pan thats sitting in some slightly warm water. Let that shit sit and use a homemade vac pump to extract it.
Otherwise before the pump, i did the above then pop the oven to like 150 and stir it around with clean razor. Never had an issue with fire as i let the majority of the butane evaporate and stirred out what i could after extraction. Honest to god though, it is not worth it to make unless you have a ton of trim and bud from growing/grower friend

The problem with Vaping (and mannn I called this years ago) is and always will be the cleanliness factor. People are inherently lazy on keeping shit clean. I knew this from my Hooka/bikers days. I few of my buddies had respiratory infections which became serious.
Another one died of hepatitis C. I saw a man 6 foot tall weighting in at 250 pounds of solid muscle slowly wasting away to when he died at weighting in at 110 pounds.
The moral of the story is to keep your shit clean, whatever you smoke, whatever put inside of you, make sure it is clean and safe.

los angeles is in big trouble. much more then this issue. the city is a virtual time bomb... illegal aliens and non residents are
ruining the state and the democrat party is pushing for a full on socialist commie govt big daddy approach as the cities like
hollywood and glendale, burbank and the rest are changing too fast and not in a good way. urban blight along with the rude
attitude and the fact most residents have fled to other states like texas and nevada to get away from the madness. if you live
here you see it is very dangerous and getting worse. bum piss, defecation and homeless drug addicts, dangerous mentally
disturbed transexuals and psychotics threatening you as well as places like beverly hills where 'persian' (iraqi) youth race
200,000 dollar sports cars all over the city at night... very scary if you live here you know what i'm talking about. it's time
for someone to flush the toilet california is full of shit and sadly that state has lost in the long run... best climate, worst people.

Best bet? Let them break off from the USA. Leave an open channel for the millions that want out, and help them resettle in other parts of the country as long as they leave their california programing behind and then leave the rest who wanna stay in cali stay there. Watch as all the big companies pull the fuck out and panic because they're no longer protected by Big Daddy Goverment. Watch as those places become controlled by the various cartels of Mexico. Let it slide into the shitter, then after a few years, offer it State ship again if the people of California agree.
I don't think you can fucking do anything to help California except to let it purge itself/let it get so bad that people ASK for the purge. Pelosi is one of the biggest gangster and a thug than most any other politian and she needs to fucking die before you could EVER help the state.
