Howdy folks!
CCFD new 411 a Pierce Quantum Pumper.
Nice looking rig.
 

Howdy all!
Ventura County Fire Dept. has 2 new Paramedic Squads built by BME.
(Via the BME Facebook page)
Interesting to note the new squads has Federal Q2B sirens.
Mechanical from the looks of it not EQ2B like LA  County Fire uses on their PM Squads.
Nice looking nonetheless.

I saw a photo of "replacement" Truck 9 on the major emergency early this morning on Mateo St.  Looks like they're running a Duplex/LTI (for now).  Ladder boards said "Truck 9"...

Thoughts and prayers for.......truck 9.

The inside cab of truck 9 was destroyed.  The ladder was likely compromised but did its job staying together to let the guys get out.  most of the PPE was destroyed.  Its a miracle they were all not killed.  I have some picks I'll post when I can.
The scene has been turned over to a investigation team of ATF, LAFD and LAPD

Howdy folks!
Oceanside has new Pierce Brush Engine.
I believe its 1 of 2 they department is getting
(And a new Quantum Engine is on order as well from what I was told)
Enjoy!
 

Warranty work. Cracks in the frame I believe.

WT2 will run in tandem with E2 like they previously did with WT7251 as well as extra staffing during Red Flags.
From Lakeside's Facebook:
Lakeside Fire Protection District has a great new tool being added to our line of fire apparatus for the approaching fire season. Our new Water Tander (WT2) is ready to be put in service. It is a Spartan US tanker. Specs are: Freightliner chassis, 196 inch wheel base, Cummins L9 350 hp engine, 750 GPM Hale water pump, 2000 gallon water tank and a 2100 gallon foldable porta tank. It will serve Lakeside for many years to come. Welcome WT2!
 

L&A 46 is being staffed with San Miguel's Logistics Division.  They are looking with other Heartland Departments for everybody to go in on a new Light & Air unit.

Hand down.

USAR2 is OOS getting warranty work done. Cracks in the frame,

T6 suffered a transmission failure the day after Thanksgiving. Subsequent investigation determined the whole transmission required a rebuild, the first in the truck’s 15 years of service. This work was fairly extensive but has been completed. T6 should be returning to service next week. 

Nice design for the new TDAs I know 1s in downtown is no brainer but 35s in La Jolla? (UCSD/UTC,)
I was thinking 21's in Pacific Beach. due to the narrow streets in the area.
(I remember the department had those 2 Spartan/LTI tillers from long ago that was at 1s & 21s)
 
 

Howdy all HFR new Engine 8 for El Cajon
 

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.

Thanks 'scnradio'...that makes perfect sense.  I heard a wit said there were 2 passengers in truck prior to going over-the-side.  I suspect those were S&R (USAR) dogs looking for the 2nd victim due to possible ejection.  I understand they never found any 2nd person.  Though I still do not understand why Chula Vista Engine 56 would have been dispatched.  That was one strange incident yesterday.

The canine handler from CHV was working on E56 that day so he responded with his dog onboard the engine.

I saw a post yesterday where 3 USAR k9 where called out to help look to see if there was more injury's from a crash over the side.  If I remember right one of the k9s was from chula vista. san diego and Santee.  Can the SNTK9 be for the Santee k9 if this is the same call?

Looks like it was during training too

I want to say it was brush 29 and there was a couple of Firefighers hurt in the roll over.  I saw a picture of the unit like a week ago.  

I know when LA City Fire installed them on their apparatus, the light stick control head had a selector switch to choose high or low, along with a directional selector. This was for night time responses. The original light stick installed were turned on separately from the master switch. Now, it turns on with the master switch. 

Mesquite Fire Rescue of Clark County runs this nice looking 1999 Emergency One 1500/250/100' Ladder Truck. Not sure if the 250-gallon water tank qualifies this as a Quint. Believe the NFPA minimum is 300 gallons.

Thank you Rescue 51, I am pretty much thinking that at least 15 to 20 were on the order since that is about the number of 03 Pierce and Seagrave's were still in Frontline service as either Engines or Pumps. I was just curious if anyone knew the actual number on order
