EMT_FS46

Thanks for the clarification

I didn’t see this coming. They have their foot in the door now. I’m sure they’ll bid on LA County EOAs in 2026

Nice guess this is the new norm for most of the smaller depts.

Anyone know the status of the next batch

Old truck 9 was involved in a TC status is unknown

Light force 38 will be getting a new truck when they go back into service some time this year or 2020

One is going to truck 66 and another to truck 3. That last one unknown

It’s possible but then again denpending on avialible parts and if the shop guys can fix them they’ll probably fix it

RIP truck 15 I remember when you were brand new we had some good times back in the day

Probably because they don’t leave the back lot of universal studios. I was even shocked that they put a quint there but I guess if universal is paying they’ll put whatever they ask for there

Lmao at engine5161 I highly doubt depts. are leery about his ?s let alone even on this site. Yes they’re members from different depts in different ranks. Stinger: I’m not sure if county has high rise house packs or what size hose the county uses for high rise fires. I’ll take it the you not from the southern California area. LACoFD covers a very large area. This includes the contract cities. They do not have many high rise structures vs. The city of Los Angeles. West Hollywood (LACoFD 8s and 7s) and Marina del Rey (LACoFD 110s) district area the areas I know of with the most high rise structures.

Negative

Is the reason for the IFT due to the needing ALS transport and the private ambulance company not having any ALS units available ?

I was wondering when did the Los Angeles Fire Department start doing IFT’s ( interfacitlity transports) and how does it work vs calling a private ambulance. I know the LAFD dispatch for a IFT is a ems captain and a engine and rescue. Why is the fire department called vs a private ambulance ?

I’ve always wondered the same thing. LAFD led light bar looks like a solid red bar from a distance and when you get up close you notice the flash pattern. The last 2 batches of American Lafrance ladder trucks had the white lights in the light bar but that was it.

The rescues can also be attached to a truck company and go to the roof for ventilation and other truck work.

Does anyone know went the current ambulance manufacturing contract ends ? I’m curious to see if the LAFD will go back to wheeled coach.

100ft I think

Engine 6 and 33 in service

To the rear you have 4 inch (750ft) supply like and 2 1/2 (750ft) fire fighting line. On the side you have 1 inch line (500ft) 1 1/2 (400ft) and 1 3/4 ( 400ft) and you have the high rise hose packs 2 inch (150ft)

Anyone know when the next batch will be delivered and if any changes have been made to the specs

E41 now in service

E4 is now in a new pierce

Finally

E68 is in a new Pierce now
