Nice looking pumper fer Riverside
 
 

I found this picture, but I'm not sure if it is actually in service at this time.

If I recall, I remember reading a few years ago, the pics are shot next to one of the buildings and in the background they had parts on pallets and such.  Photoshop can be your best friend.

 

Here is squad 105 with new tractor and trailer. 

Interesting to see new engines come out with new led rear warning lights that can turned to scene lighting. Any thoughts on this?

Alhambra FD has taken delivery of two engines 71 & 74. I believe last new rig was smeal? 
 

Nice find!
I wonder why the ladder is set back like that? I'm wondering if it's a 75' placed on a chassis designed for a 100', maybe for weight reasons?

I didn't realize county was still ordering rear mounts. Found this new pic of quint 116 in Carson from code2high. From looks of it, 2016/2017 model got same led flood light bar as new tractors for usar and hazmat. After seeing pics of station size I see why. I would if they are ordering or order more than just one?

This is off topic but I'm just curious as to if they will let Q51 respond outside of universal studios to West Hollywood. I've mention this before but I feel it's dumb to have Q3 respond to West Hollywood from East LA. Same for E51. LA City has resources that can respond to Universal if 51s is out.

good article 

I found out that some of the reason's not in service are... The cab roofs where weak. When Pierce strengthen them now they leak. Also the turn table was not built to LAFD speck.

Our squads here in the City are staffed by 4. An officer and 3 firemen. Historically, our squads haven't had bells. As a whole, our engines and trucks have bells as a traditional  thing and as a last ditch effort if all other warning devices fail. We elected to NOT have chevrons put on as stated above, its just a strong recommendation. We have the short wheel based rigs due to our geographical area [ hills,tight streets, etc]. Hope this helps.

Great article to read. See how regions differ on equipment based on what they routinely face.

Just curious as to if LAFD will buy Seagraves again.

Nice interesting to see the green stripe I've seen them with blue strip.

If you look at their website cbrne has first in response in most of southern Nevada and believe into Arizona/California. Same for their arson and hazmat.

I am surprised there is not a big mug shot of Dianne Jacob on the side of that rig.  :o/

 
Really, back to Pierce? Now that is just strange. Seems like the consensus that the KME engines were well received.
 
What is/were the issues with the KME?

Alhambra fire will be purchasing two KME engines.They will piggy-back on the Orange County Fire Authority's bid award. Seems they are moving away from pierce. Their newest engine I believe was a smeal similar to what cal fire has in riverside.

Any pictures of new heavy rescue?
