Heartland also got a type 3 (OES 6310) which will be housed at station 9. 

Heartland is also getting a new OES rig which is going to station 13, OES406 is its unit number. 

New rigs are going to 14 and 16, should be in service soon. 

Taken from their Facebook, looks somewhat identical to B3.

A very unfortunate situation.

Its a mechanic rig.

The vehicle can be seen here at around 6:23
 

The fire was in the shop on the property and was confined to an engine only, not sure what engine.

Wow, that's going to be one of the better looking engines in the county

AMR M430 will operate 7 days a week from 1000-2200 and will be staffed with one EMT and one medic.  M440 is also staffed with one EMT and one medic and operates from 0800-2000.  The other three medic rigs are 24 hrs and have dual medic staffing.

Looks like station 6 now has 2 medics just like station 8 bringing the total amount of medics in El Cajon to 5 during the peak hours of the day. I'm curious to see if this is a permanent unit that will run during the peak hours like M440 or if this is just some sort of temporary unit. CSA69 is supposed to be bringing in a 5th medic too which would really bolster the transportation numbers for Santee, Lakeside and El Cajon as mutual aid from AMR has been running into the 3 jurisdictions quite a bit lately.  

SQ6 is in service today.

There will be a procession for him tomorrow(12/17) from the Venture County Medical Center all the way to a location in Miramar.

R.I.P 

The incident involved two overturned vehicles with one having multiple people trapped. The initial dispatch was 4702, E25, E26 and M45, but shortly after 4702 arrived he upgraded it to a vehicle rescue which added E3 and T6 to the call. I guess the CAD pulled E3 first before looking for a rescue thus not pulling R3 but instead T6, they noticed the mistake and requested R3 respond instead of T6.

SMG just recently leased a piece of property at 723 E. Bradley where they plan to house E19 at a temporary station, i'm not sure when they will move to the new location but I would imagine some time soon, SMG has also come to an agreement with OES to take OES292 into their fleet.

I was tuning in on my scanner to the catch the structure fire traffic and got the recording of B3 contacting Heartland about the TC.
Here is the recording if anyone is interested, https://vocaroo.com/i/s1uVAEfRMHKv B3 contacts Heartland at 00:21.
Glad everyone made it out uninjured.
 

At last! 

What a beauty

These are Mercy medics who serve the Zone 2 Rural area of East County, there is not much info about them online. There is some info on them though in this article that the East County Magazine did when the county changed from AMR to Mercy in Zone 2 a few years ago.
