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.

The Pioneer Hook and Ladder SDFD Museum in the Little Italy section of San Diego sells SDFD Shirts and hats.

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.

They went away from Ford because of performance issues now they're going away from Chevy and back to Ford, Surprised they're not hoping on the Dodge train like everyone else.

Did LA County or the City of La Habra close 193s? I saw a photo of Station 193 and it listed the station as being an ambulance station.

Did they ever repair 9s truck that was damaged in the Boyd Street fire or was it deemed a total loss?

They are the LAFD equivalent of the LA County Health Haz Mat rigs.

LR 300

Does anyone have layout or list of San Diego FD Battalion's and the stations and equipment assigned to each Battalion?

How come San Diego doesn't just start there own Ambulances? They could even go with what Glendale is doing, ALS Engine's with BLS ambulances operated by single function EMT's.

Have you contacted the Chief Engineer, Mayor or Council person who reps the area to voice these concerns?

I'm hearing that the next order of tiller quints for LA County will not be from KME but from Rosenabauer, Any truth? How does Ventura County like them?.

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.

I think that's a reserve truck.

Is Engine 77 still running a KME?

Who's Engine did 42s get? They went from a KME to a Pierce.

It might depend on the time of day and traffic volume, If its very late at night and little to no traffic than no need to wake everyone up using the siren.

WOW! That thing is massive!
