    Even though that relatively  small piece of land just  west of the Freeway might be still be vacant it really doesn't look like a good location due to  its proximity to the Freeway. This proposed new station had been on the LAFDS wish list in 2006 when WIlliam Bamattre was the Chief of the LAFD. Under him there was a long range proposal and plans for both Fire and EMS (Rescue Ambulances) that he had drawn up however after he left the Fire Department in 2006 and especially when the recession had country and the LAFD had to go to the MODIFIED service plan where companies were taken out of service , that long range plan under   Chief Bamattre was disregarded.  While I don't have the developer's name who was supposed to develope that site for the proposed Fire Station 31   apparently nothing further was done about it as the work was supposed have been done and paid for by the developer who apparently defaulted.

    LA County has had issues with Care a Division of Falck and there extended ETA's to the point that they've had to transport patients in the engine and squad. Monrovia has also had issues and ended up calling for an RA from either Arcadia or Sierra Madre.

    The New Electric Fire Engine really is more a European and a "Overseas" design. Most European and other countries including the Mid East and Asia have fire engines that look alot like that. If you notice the Engine company looks alot more like a bus without windows. There are other electric fire engines that being made more to an American Design and I personally prefer an American Traditional Design to this Overseas design.
