I must say it feels great to see City backon rigs again. I always thought it was dumb that they took it off due to the San Fernando Valley trying to separate from the City of Los Angeles.

This is not truck 9. Truck 9 is still setting at the shops.

In simple terms they are cheaper to buy. These units run the same as Los Angeles county fire paramedic squads. Don’t know if your familiar with the Los Angeles area but it works like this. On EMS calls with LA county fire and a few other depts. you get a engine ( bls ) a paramedic squad ( als ) and a private ambulance ( bls ) or a paramedic engine and private ambulance. The medics will determine if the patient is als or bls. If bls the medic will turn over the patient to the private ambulance emts and clear the call back in service for the next one.

9s has been and will always be the busiest station in the city and one of the busiest in the nation due to skid row. Until that area is cleaned up it is what it is. I was at 9s back in 2000 when it was a tradition taskfore with only rescue 9 and 809. Then they made the change spiting the light force. Engine 209 and truck 9 was fully staffed and ran alone. Rescue 809 became 209. Today you have Truck 9, Engine 9 and 209, and Rescue 9, 209,809, and 900 ( 2nd BLS rescue). You also have FR 9 ( fast response ) and when needed a 3rd fully staffed engine ( 400 series )

9s did run a 3rd 400 series engine on certain days during the summer and during the wild fires. 

Are these 2nd or 3rd gen. There is about 2 at the shops. Been there for a few months now.

I’m that like says card statement and has personal banking info 

Is that a new rig and I’m sure I’m pro meets will be made. 

Negative. 88s 05 right went to 27s. The other rig (red lens light bar went to 89s ( 2014 I think ).

The 2 1/2 is not pre connected is that’s what your asking

LA County doesn’t do that 

Will county ever go with a different manufacture 

What is the list for all the disbanded companies ? Engines, light force, rescues, and battalions. 

Let’s hope it come with red and white light like the 06 American lafrance had

Old truck 10 is a 1999-2001 model year. They had no choice but to get the hand me down until the next back of pierce trucks come in. 

The patrols are staffed by a single ff/emt. They respond as manpower. LACoFD has a mixture of 3 to 4 man engine companies. As far as what dictates rather the engine is a 3 man or 4 man I’m not sure 100 percent. I know one factor is with like the co tract cities and how much staffing they are willing to pay for. 

Will squad 87 return back as squad 39

The cross lays ( pre-connects ) will be your basic firefighting hand lines. In practically all department the 2 1/2 is considered master streams used on very large fires 

Who’s next on the restore list

Doubt it 

Dozers are used for overhaul after a fire usually large commercial building, pallet yards, junk yards. Large single family homes etc. just depends on the need. LA City does the same.

Anyone know who the next builder will be for L.A. City RA’s ?

Not true it was something like that with code 3 and la county. I remember seeing the video on YouTube with that arch beacon light. 

LACoFD is sponsored by code 3 for emergency lighting. Whatever new products code has will go on County rigs for free.

And sometimes a US&R unit
