  1. Thanks for posting those pics.
  2. Today on Pulse Point I saw an odd unit dispatched to the Stub Hub Center on a medical call. The unit was “QRV5.” I’m guessing it stands for quick response vehicle. I’m aware of LAFD’s fast response units but haven’t heard of any similar programs from County. I also saw squad 428 dispatched on the same call. I’m guessing that it is a squad staffed for events. So what is the QRV unit? A Polaris Razr type of vehicle? A modified squad? I did a quick Google search but kept getting links to LAFD’s units.
  3. From what I heard from an engineer, the department didn’t like the KMEs.
  4. Hop
  5. http://tbrnews.com/news/hermosa-beach-votes-to-move-fire-services-to-la-county/article_5625e28c-2ad4-11e7-89e2-03072bf097cf.html Looks like LACoFD will be taking over for Hermosa.
  6. I believe Q162 is running old Q3. Q3 received their new unit around the same time stations 161 and 162 did the unit swaps.
  7. A family friend of mine is en engineer for city and he had positive things to say about the Pierce and Seagrave engines. Not so much KME. From my understanding a reason city went with KME was because they could get 3 KMEs for the price of 2 Pierce engines. You got what you pay for I suppose.
  8. Thanks for the answers guys.
  9. I've noticed recently that rescue 4 is now identified as USAR 4. Does anyone know the reason behind this? Did the rig lose a certification?
  10. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lafd/30654983825/ Link to photo of the new HR being used on 10/20/16.
  11. In regards to SDFD's fast response unit. Squad 55 went into service July 1, 2014 at 6135 Imperial Ave in the Encanto area. The unit is housed alone from 8AM-8PM by a FF/PM and a FF. A second squad is supposed to be put into service late September or October in south University City.
  12. Does anyone know what the deal is with the TDA? I haven't seen that rig more than a few times since my previous post and I work right by the station. The handful of times I did see it back in service it would be gone within what seemed like a week or two. I drove by today and they're currently running 10s old rig (saw the outline of the removed 10 decal).
  13. Drove by 1s today (10/15/14) and saw the Crimson TDA sitting in the garage.
  14. Lately in downtown I've been seeing a white rural metro unit. Wasn't able to get a unit number though.
  15. E88 was involved in a traffic collision today (9/17/14) responding to a call. Only saw an aerial photo of the engine. A picture of the vehicle hit by E88 looked like it was broadsided pretty good.
