LAFD FIRE.

Nice little end of the tour job. Don’t like the positioning of the engine company that totally blocked Ladder company access.
 
So a Light Force pulls up first due. What is the LAFD protocol? Do they operate as an engine or truck?

It depends on the situation and what they need to handle it. If rescues are needed they operate as a truck company but normally because only a light force was dispatched it's a minor fire and they operate as a engine company.

In this particular case, the Light Force was dispatched to a reported vehicle fire, then when they were in route the incident was upgraded to a structure so the light force arrived first.
 
Here's real time audio from the incident. The incident starts around the 10 minute mark. LAFD official website does not have information on this incident.
