Carries the inflatable bag used to stop jumpers from smacking the ground at full speed. LA County calls them “rescue air cushions”.

Here a are a few photos of the new BC rides for San Diego.

Wonder if Pierce will get those?  Also wonder why SDFR does not have any ladder platforms/towers?   It is a bit unusual. 

Pierce is building them.

SDFD has two new tractor drawn aerials on order. Slated to go to Trucks 1 and 35 for now. Also have 9 engines, 2 brush rigs, 2 light and air units, and 8 BC command pickups on order. BC's are going to Ford F series pickup trucks with a shell.

For many decades it was Phenix. Not sure if it still is or not.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Both the KME rescue and Haz-Mat  are still in service as reserves. It was previously misreported in this forum that they were gone.

La Habra Heights Fire

It is in Colorado getting high lift gear and tank installed.

Vernon has voted to contract with LA County Fire. Plan is to keep Stations 76 and 77 open and close 78 and 79. Engine and Truck at 76, Engine and Squad at 77. Not sure what the start date is.

I finally figured out the older OES pumper that has been at San Miguel Fs16, is (or was) OES307.  Wonder if 307 stays, and OES410 will be going to another San Miguel station.  I doubt it, but just wondering why they have OES410 and the new one is not designated OES307.

OES Type-1 engines have been numbered in sequential order starting in 1953 with OES1. 

The numbering on the Type-3 engines, water tenders, and hazmat units differs. 

The Type-3 engines are 4 digit numbers starting with an 8 (no idea why) followed by a second digit indicating the OES region (1-6), a 3 or 4 indicating Type-3 engine, and a 4th digit assigned in order.

The water tenders and hazmat units are two digit. First digit indicates region.

Lakeside just picked up OES418.

Photos at this link show many current or ex SJFD Special Ops resources with various letters identifiers.

Other new engines include OES417 for San Diego and OES420 for Chula Vista.

3 Total. Copter 3 will be the primary all-mission ship.

The Firehawk has been delivered but is not yet in service It will be based at Montgomery like the other copters.

The California Vehicle Code only requires a steady burning forward facing red light .There has never been a requirement for rear facing amber lights, although that has been fairly standard in California.

SDFD has ordered two tractor drawn aerials. Not sure but assumably from Pierce.

Station 60 is currently under construction at Millenia Ave and Stylus St.
