  2. Santa Monica FD Paramedic Squads

    They only use them on days when the city expects large crowds of visitors. It makes it easier for them to get on the pier and tight places instead of an engine. They respond alone to medical calls and Americare still provides the hospital transport Hope this helps.

  4. I think that the LAFD do what Santa Monica Fire did. Do away with the rescues and farm that service out to private ambulance companies and the money they used to buy new RA's, buy what they can of engines and trucks and place the rest of that personnel on the rigs. This way you can maybe get back to a "heavy task force" station and or fully manned 200 series engine companies. Everyone still has a job and fire and EMS protection is still there. Just a thought.

  6. Sorry, LAFD borrowed a rear mount from Anaheim fire back in the 90's and used it at station 73 for a while. I guess after running with it for a while, they decided not to go with these types of trucks.

  8. I believe that back in the 90's, the LAFD did borrow a rear mount ladder truck from the Anaheim FD, to try this concept again (FS 73), but I guess they shelved that idea again.
