    I remember Oceanside has a Squad (as Medic Squad 211) using a former Battalion Chiefs vehicle. Also Encinitas & Rancho Santa Fe has new Patrols that have Paramedic Equipment installed (Similar to the Medic Patrols that Riverside County Fire/Cal Fire uses)

    County has purchased 11 quints from Rosenbauer and canceled the 11 engines from KME.  This is from my inside resorce on the Truck committee.

    Do you happen to know why they cancelled the KME's? And do they plan on replacing those orders with Rosenbauer engines?

    No idea why, county also canceled the new Squad order as well.

    Escondido just ordered 3 Sutphen pumpers along with one BME Model 34 brush rig and three ambulances.
    Pretty rare for a Southern California agency to switch from Pierce to Sutphen.

    I'm not sure what the role is, but here's a photo of the unit.

    Wow. This is why I'm all for systems that prevent this, such as a kill switch that shuts the truck off if the thief doesn't engage certain features.

    California Red: Thanks. Tip10 is the PERT kind of unit with trained trauma intervention psychologist, social worker. There were many people in that neighborhood traumatized by the crash/explosion/fire and likely seeing the UPS driver on the ground with fatal injuries. I've seen REDX list before on assignments, and don't know either what that is designated for. It looked to Alpine's chief/BC/division chief, was also on-scene. I am wondering if he just happened to be in the area at time of event.

    Seems Rosenbauer is making inroads in the industry with increasing orders/deliveries. They seem to be innovating. KME has made much progress in reliability over the last decade or two. As good as Pierce is, I believe build wait times and the prices of Pierce equipment, present a compelling reason why agencies are looking at the alternatives.

    I tried looking up REDX and Tip10. Got nothing. Interesting reading the apparatus listing, though. Sad event.

    Lots of new apparatus hitting the streets of the various Verdugo Dispatch cities. 
    Sierra Madre FD in the fall will be taking delivery of a new Type 1 Engine from Pierce and a new Rescue Ambulance.
    Pasadena Fire will be awaiting a new Type 1 engine from Pierce to replace Engine 33.

    Didn't know Phoenix FD was getting E-One rear mounts. Are E-One rear mount aerials new to PFD, or have they had them before (or even rear mount aerials a new thing)?

    Its all trade offs, there is never enough money to do what you want.  The other thing to keep in mind is the groups that complain about running this or that too much, are in compitition with those who state a million dollor  truck running no calls is a waste of money.  Plus a rig like a light rescue mini pumper needs manpower unless you are going to strip a truck company to cover the squad....no perfect solutions.

    I am thinking the person(s) in charge of lighting might need to lay off the Red Bulls.
