Three years ago today on May 16, 2020, a massive explosion and fire on Boyd Street in Downtown Los Angeles led to a Major Emergency with more than 230 Los Angeles Fire Department Firefighters on scene. A MAYDAY call was made when 11 Firefighters were trapped and burned. An additional firefighter was also injured on scene. Thankfully, these Firefighters from FS 9 in Skid Row were all rescued and admitted to the hospital for their injuries, with the last LAFD member being released after 65 days in the intensive burn unit.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation released a documentary on this MAYDAY incident titled "Boyd Street" that can be viewed by clicking the following link: vimeo.com/772618606
