    Interesting
     
    Thought that CAL FIRE and OES had a long term contract with HME
    for Type 3s

    You bring up an interesting question about an assignment list of all the
    OES units.
    I was told directly from and inside source at OES, that due to the need for
    security reasons, they do not publish a list of assignments for the public.
    That OES officer said that you may well be able to read about individual assignments as they happen and obtain the assignments that way.
    Over the years I have built a list for the type 2s, type 3s and some other OES units
    as they are assigned. This list is not complete and never will be given the
    lack of access for the public, it seems. Maybe it will change, not sure
    at this point.

    Update , there was only one new squad purchased, that is Sq 32
    which is based at City Center Station with Engine 32.
    Rescue 13 at McCarran  Airport is now called Sq 13

    I was hoping you could find out which went to each department.
     
    I assume that the 25 are all going in to service shortly. Will be a great help this fire season
    given the drought conditions in CA.

    EMTBravo liked a post in a topic by vegasbuff in Where Is The Tower Ladder Culture In Los Angeles?   
    Believe that OCFA has some towers, Long Beach has one, I think.
    The east coast departments are all using at least some towers in their fleets. Boston has three now
    and FDNY, almost 1/3 of their aerials are towers.
     
    As info, latest roster for Manhattan aerials(32) :
    13 towers (mostly 75' (3 are 95')
    14 rear mounts
    5 TDAs
     
    on multiple alarms fires, I have often heard the ICs call for additional towers when rescues are needed
    so the east coast is seeing the advantage of towers, west coast not so much at this point
