  1. Last week
  2. Hi Guys & Gals! Members of the OFD are in Appleton,WI to do a final inspection on the 3 new Pierce Velocity Pumpers should hit the streets by May. (Via the department's Facebook page) https://www.facebook.com/reel/428930929792178
  3. Earlier
  4. Good to know SCNRADIO, thank you for adding new information. It will be interesting to get some dirt on the new Squad-4. I suspect it might be a tender type to T4, used for MedAid calls and more. Hopefully as such, it will reduce the depreciation, mileage and wear & tear, not to mention what is rarely mentioned, which is keep the availability status higher when not used (truck) for BLS level calls.
  5. Heartland Fire Rescue New Engine 6 for El Cajon a Pierce Enforcer
  6. So looking at the roster and i see squad 4 and patrol 4 on a station card and it list them diffent units So I am going to say nope. It is from what i am seeing on the card
  7. Could this be what was listed as SQ4, instead a patrol? Nice looking rig. 300gwt. Photo credit South Coast Fire.
  8. I remember Oceanside has a Squad (as Medic Squad 211) using a former Battalion Chiefs vehicle. Also Encinitas & Rancho Santa Fe has new Patrols that have Paramedic Equipment installed (Similar to the Medic Patrols that Riverside County Fire/Cal Fire uses)
  9. Another update! Turns out we got a curveball, Truck 20 from Irvine received the final 2023 Sutphen, replacing their 2018 KME TDA. T20s tda will be going to T56 as the sutphen would not meet their needs as they are a usar unit. T85 will likely instead be receiving one of the KME rearmounts once they arrive.
  10. Station 34 at the airport got inherited by the Northern AZ Fire District, but they appear to have closed it down. There used to be the E-One ARFF unit there and the 1982 Dodge that had been there forever. Am not sure if those have been sold off. Doesn’t appear the airport has dedicated units anymore. The ARFF came about there when Kingman used to have small airline service into there, and it remained when that service ceased. however, with the cost of maintaining that capability when it was no longer required to have, maybe that did it in.
  11. Yesterday Friday February 16 2024 just after 1230 PM, The West Covina Fire Department became a member of the Verdugo Fire Dispatch system, West Covina Fire Station's are numbered 121-125 with Assistant 1 now known as Battalion 12.

  14. Station 105 has a new Pierce truck I've noticed there no T in front of the station number on the front or back of the truck
  15. The Pioneer Hook and Ladder SDFD Museum in the Little Italy section of San Diego sells SDFD Shirts and hats.
  16. Seems some departments are doing what I recommended (like a parrot) for many years, which is to use a squad or rescue (technical/USAR) in place of a aerial ladder truck, for the high volume of medical aids, especially so many being BLS level. It is nice to see them doing this like El Cajon/Heartland Fire-Rescue's SQ6. I am seeing recently a SQ4 too for Santee FD, I am assuming in place of their Pierce TDA.
  17. Well now i am seeing a squad 14 on calls so may be that is the reason for the truck moved to 14s More ems calls so a squad can be used instead of the truck
  18. E17 new rig is at the shops. New pierce.
  19. I noticed on a run last night, Santee FD had Squad 4 (SQ4) along with Truck 4 (T4) on the incident. Anyone have any information on which rig the "squad" is? Thanks.
  20. Apologies for the mixup! Truck 9 has received their new sutphen, there was a mixup that they would receive a Rearmount. I am unsure at this point if T85 or T56 are receiving a new sutphen. I will be sure to update once i find out. Cheers!
  21. Updated: Note that T59 was not included in the KME Rearmount order, it was purchased as a demo/pilot rig
  22. That is a public works vactor truck. In this case Station 38 is referencing the call sign for Public Works dispatch.
  23. I was listening to the audio/video posted on youtube of the rescue of the person stuck in the sea wall in Ocean Beach for a couple of days. Command put in a request for a vac truck from station 38 with a 100 feet or airline. Has someone seen it or have a picture of it to post here?
  24. Interesting to run the newer Pierce truck (formerly T15) out of 14's, as 14's is such a busy station. They will run the truck into the ground. I thought maybe the reserve truck (T215) was assigned to 14's if their front-line Pierce pumper was out of service. But, in reading the information here, seems T15 is now T14.
  25. T15 now T14. E14 now E15. BR14 now BR15.
  26. What station is the truck at now I am being told it is running out of 14s and a engine is running out of 15s
  27. The Pasadena FD will be purchasing new two new Engine;s Pierce mounted on the Enforcer cab, Upon delivery they will be assigned to Engine's 38 & 39, PFD will also be purchasing and placing into service a new Air and Light unit mounted on a Ford F550 chassis from Firematic Supply Inc.
