Went by station Heartland station 9 today and saw Truck 6 in open apparatus door. Maybe close to returning to service.

I may be wrong but I think the truck has been OOS for nearly a year. I wonder if it's going to be repaired or written off at this point. Certainly leaves the zone light in terms of Truck companies.

Saw another news article...apparently it's  a roving unit serving the eastern portion of the city where response times have been poor.

Noticed over the weekend that Chula Vista is now running a squad - Squad 62.

Anyone know which station it's located at?

Current CV stations are 51-59.

I believe Vista has a mid-mount as well. 

Looks like it's back up.

Just wondering if anyone else noticed that all agencies dispatched by Heartland have no incidents?

Perhaps a CAD interface issue...or maybe Heartland is discontinuing its affiliation with Pulsepoint

Thanks!

Trying to keep track of the Mercy ambulance stations:

I have 45 in Descanso, 47 in Boulevard, 36 in Jamul with 38 and 238 at Donovan in Otay Mesa

Anyone know:

Is Medic-26 at Alpine 17

Where is Medic 20 based?

I believe it is an EMS battalion chief..nothing to do with station numbering.

Hmmm...all day today I heard the standard County Fire designators...7614, 7219, etc.

Been hearing Truck 36 responding to calls in the San Miguel area.  Is this a new truck out of Jamul?  Wondering why it is not using a 4-digit designator, like truck 7675?

Update....here's  a link : http://www.universitycitynews.org/2016/01/13/meet-fast-response-squad-56-at-wednesdays-ucca-meeting/

Just heard Squad 56 (not 55) go in service. I Believe in the UTC area?

Thanks E0001!

Noticed a change in unit numbering yesterday, Not hearing ant of the "peak-unit" IDs that roam.(Medic 87, erc).

Instead we're now getting Medic Ids such as

M-13

M-45

M-25

M-23

Clearly, these stations have not had medics assigned to them nor do the medic IDs correspond to a particular district.  Foe example, Medic-13 yesterday was responding mostly in 32s district.

Any info on the changes?

Looks like San Diego's pilot program for squads has begun. Hearing Squad-55 dispatched in Station 32's district over the past few days.  Anyone know what sort of rigs they are using?

Anyone have an updated list of the of the other front-line  SDFD apparatus?

With all the new Pierce rigs going into service does San Diego plan to keep the KME's it leased 6-7 years ago for reserve use. Or do they go back at lease end?

The "old" Pierce Engine 6 is now at station7. All front-line apparatus is in Piece and the three KME enhines are now all reserve.
