    Question....where do they outfit these cars? I remember seeing a TV show or magazine article awhile back that it was done at an official CHP location where they had an "assembly line" process, and a lot of the brackets and wiring harnesses the make themselves.

    CHP Academy. 3500 Reed Ave, West Sacramento. If you do a Google satellite view for that address you can see hundreds of patrol cars on the east side of the property.

    This is a 2010 model.  Save the pictures from Seagrave website onto your desktop.  They are time stamped from back in 2010.  

    I know Pasadena FD uses TDAs. I was asking for a photo of a Houston FD TDA in response to another posters comment that Houston FD has "always used TDAs".

    As far as I know Houston has always used TDAs. Pasadena has a mixture of pierce n seagrave pumper's with 1 KME TDA.

    I would love to see a photo of a Houston TDA. I'm not aware of Houston having owned a TDA in at least 30+ years. All rear mount aerials and platforms..

    On a side note all fire agencies in orange county will be going encrypted on their new radio systems in the next year or so making following them  impossible unless your sitting in front of a fire station

    Or looking at PulsePoint on the internet.

    E0001 do you know if Heartland CAD (pulse) is behind the times or why they still listing San Manual units as 4 digit?

    San Miguel is scheduled to go back to a stand-alone District in July or so. They opted to leave the numbers as is until that occurs. It would be a waste of money to change the identifiers on the vehicles just to change them again in a few months.

    Calfire renumbered all the Schedule A and contract agency equipment. Station numbers mostly stayed the same but they now use numbers matching the station. 7316 became Engine 36, 7810 is now Engine 80, etc. Second unit of same type out of the station is 200 series, 3rd is 300 series, etc. Battalion 7808 is now just Battalion 8. This mirrors the same system Calfire-Riverside County utilizes, and that is no coincidence. The San Diego Unit Chief and at least one of the two ECC Battalion Chiefs all came from Riverside.

    The current front-line truck, which will become the reserve truck, is a 2006. The option with KME is to purchase an additional truck within the next fire years. At the end of that 5 year period the 2006 will be 16 years old. Within replacement range, though on the lower end. If the money is there why not?

     

    So my point is this may not involve an additional staffed truck company at all.

    AMR is desperately trying to avoid a second quarter in a row of non-compliance. Failure to do so could mean a declaration by the City of "breach of contract", which would set up the possibility of a City takeover. Stay tuned.

    orange county has run pierce , seagrave ,crown, van pelt ,and now runs kme and a few smeal. a first for orange county is the raised roofs on the new rigs, they started this on the last order of kme engines and are now going with it on the new engines and trucks. once all the new trucks are in service there will be no 75 foot ladders left in front line service

     

    Truck 45's 2011 KME 75' will still be in front-line service, though possibly not at Station 45.
