    Why would LAX only have 6x6 arff rigs? Phoenix has nothing but 8x8 and they are a smaller airport with smaller aircraft. Only 1 747 flys in a day. I would think LAX would want to have the biggest arff trucks on the market. I believe Dallas has all 8x8 as well. Just wonderin!

    It was probably just an oversight before the vehicle was delivered from the LAFD Shops. The Body Shop normally applies the "Paramedic" lettering. The number is what is a solid indication of ALS or BLS.
    Station number = ALS ambulance
    200 series = Second ALS or Ready Reserve ALS
    600-700 series = Ready Reserve BLS
    800-900 series = BLS ambulance

    I heard that from Capt 1 at FS89. Also from many of my buddies on the dept. There is also talk of moving HR56 to 82's because they are right of the fwy and the station has lots of room. Now, will any of this take place? Also because 89's is a USAR station.That plan was also before LAco Fire bought there own HR. Now they work together.

      The Mayor's budget books are good reference, but not necessarily the final word on how the Fire Department allocates the MICLA funding. There are also LAFD budget requests books, which are not at all an indication of all that will be ordered. They are more of a reflection of needs, or a wish list if you prefer. Don't forget the 2013-14 City budget has also been adopted.
