LA City Fire’s new Fast Response Vehicles being built now. Staffed by a Paramedic and EMT Firefighter or 2 Paramedics. The vehicles is marked ER2, possibly stands for Emergency Response?

This lot at 16320 Foothill Blvd Sylmar, CA was selected many years ago for the new Fire Station in Sylmar. I’m not sure if this small lot is still in consideration, but this is where they planned it back in the day. It is a very small piece of property.

What station is Ventura County Truck 147 from. I can’t find a station number 147. Thanks.

I have noticed on several occasions, LA Co Squads have been running calls with lights on but no siren. I find this to be a very dangerous practice.. I always thought an emergency response was supposed to be both lights and siren. Any thoughts?

Oops. That’s not good.

New Helicopter Tender.. Manufactured by West-Mark.

Here is the new RA from Braun Northwest.

Chief William Bamattre was the last “Chief Engineer” title with LAFD. Chief Bamattre served as Chief Engineer then Fire Chief from 1996-2007. Sometime during his tenure, the title changed.

New Rescue Ambulance

What are your thoughts.

Has LA City Fire issued the new helmets yet? And does anyone have a picture of them. Thanks.

All heavy apparatus and some light vehicles do say “Class 1” along with “City”.
