L.A. Wildfires No, Firefighters Aren't Using 'Handbags' To Battle Flames!!!

Published | Updated

Amid the chaos of the L.A. fires, it looked like firefighters were using anything they could find -- handbags included -- to douse a dumpster fire, but TMZ is here to debunk that claim.

LAFD officials tell TMZ the "handbags" seen in local news reports this week were actually canvas bags firefighters bring on their engines for various jobs. When tackling a small trash fire like the one in this video, it’s easier for them to quickly fill the bags with water and extinguish the flames, than it is to haul out a hose.

We’re told hooking up firehoses to hydrants takes time, and with fires spreading so quick, they’ve gotta act fast. The sooner they snuff it out, the better -- timing’s everything.

Hogan apologized after the video went viral in 2015, telling People ... "It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it.”
