  1. back when I was a youngster when El Cajon fire added paramedics, they ran two ambulances out of what was still el cajon station one, Medic 3 and 4391 (BLS ambulance) both were dispatched in station one 1st due together, with M3 going with Engines in other station 1st dues. Back then Lakeside had Medic 1 and Santee Medic 2. too age me more I remeber Medic 6-2 and Medic 6-3 of old Spring Valley FPD.


  2. 1st due Ladders to East and Northeast Mesa are Ladders 209 and 214. way East is AJ Ladder 263, South East Mesa and Phoenix-Gateway airport usally get Gilbert Ladders 251 and 255, Mesa will be getting station 221 out on the old proving grounds within next couple years which will have a Engine and Ladder Company, I suppect the Ladder Tender Co at 220's will be moving out there as a Ladder Co.


  3. the answer for the Scottdale Ladders is:  Scottsdale moved them around a while back for better coverage, Ladder 602 is a dry tower downtown with Engine 602, L603 was moved to Station 606 as a stand alone company (tower quint and LT), L604 was moved north to 616 also stand alone (75' quint) and L611 stayed in place. Also technically Mesa now has six ladder companies if you inc. LT220 (201, 204, 206, 209, 214 all 85' tower quints). Ladder Tender 220 running a Engine with extra gear.

  4. Here in Phoenix Metro almost all frontline Ladder Companies are Tower Ladders, Phoenix runs 14 Ladder Co.'s 13 are towers and one bronto, all 5 Mesa Ladder Co.'s are 85' towers. The few straight ladders are Buckeye L703, AJ L264, Scottsdale L611 and L616 and a few reserve/spare ladders. Tucson is a Mix, couple towers and several rear mounts, Buckeye L703 only frontline tiller.
