They are having major problems with their 2015 Chevrolet Road Rescue Type 1 Paramedic Ambulance. They have been approved to purchase a new 2023 Ford F550 Road Rescue as well as a 2023 Ford Transit Type II BLS ambulance for the "BLS Peak Hours Program"   https://laserfiche.arcadiaca.gov/WebLink/DocView.aspx?id=850226&dbid=0&repo=CityofArcadia

I am thinking the person(s) in charge of lighting might need to lay off the Red Bulls.

The Torrance Fire Department has been approved to purchase three (3) 2018 Dodge RAM 4500 cab and chassis vehicles with refurbished paramedic rescue bodies from Phenix Enterprises in the amount of $421,899.12. They also were approved to purchase one (1) new 2018 Dodge RAM 4500 rescue vehicle as well. The new vehicles will replace one reserve (2000 Ford E-350) and three frontline rescue vehicles (2005 Ford E-450, 2005 Ford E-450, 2008 Ford E-450). The 2008 Ford rescue which has 66,693 miles is non-operational due to diesel engine damage. The new units will be unleaded gasoline vehicles.
Apparently the ambulances that they purchased and were testing out were not favored and they are bringing back the squads.

The Santa Monica Fire Department has been approved to purchase one (1) KME Type 1 Ladder Truck and four (4) KME Type 1 Fire Engines in the amount of $6,366,513. Funding for an additional Type 1 Aerial Ladder Truck and one Type 1 Fire Engine is contingent upon Council budget approval within the next 5 years. 

I believe it is housed in El Segundo. The rigs at that station are numbered 41 and 42. Richmond's station numbering is in the 60's.

No, I think he means the white scene lights just below the lightbar in this video @ 1:22 mark.

from the pierce website, glendale is switching to arrow xt's instead of the quatums

The light bars on the LAFD rigs in general are horrible. It looks like just one big red light at a distance. They should add red lenes like Glendale Fire. Those light bars look good.

The combo light bar with red and white LED's are the best.  Many agencies go all red, and I believe you add safety when you do combo red/white, which really gets your attention. 

Just curious why the trend in many departments is going with the dark tops on the rigs?  In the Southwest I would think dark tops only make the cabin warmer.  But a nice looking rig.  Credit to Pierce/Flickr.
