Hose Complement on Engine Companies (in general) is 600' 4" Supply, 750' 2 1/2", 300' 1 3/4" 300' 1 1/2" 500' 1". The 1 3/4", 1 1/2" & 1" are crossbed loads. There are companies that carry more hose depending on their individual district needs and challenges.

Pre-connects are not used because of several factors. Mostly your limited to a certain amount of hose per pre-connect. Engineers can monitor the hose leaving their apparatus and attach more hose quickly. In Los Angeles, some property lots are deep and it is quicker to just grab the nozzle, pay out hose as you go and pull sufficient hose to your objective. In LAFD training, they teach, when you get to your objective, you want to have enough hose to reach around the entire structure. I hope this helps.

Correction 750ft of 4in supply line, 750ft 2 1/2, 500ft 1in, 400ft 1 1/2 and 1 3/4, 200ft 2in high rise hose packs ( blue )

E209 in a new rig. Anyone know if E9 will get one too.

Everyone is ditching KME I see lol

That’s another unit

15s been in service there’s also 1 at station 4 but unmanned 

Where is the old rig going ?

Saw this beauty today 

Will engine 28 and 102 go back to being a light force 

What all companies were closed back in 2011 ?

Is LAFD trying to ditch the KME’s ? Engine 33 is only a 2nd or 3rd gen. It’s either barely or not even at its mid life. Same with engine 87.

Effective Sunday July 8th 

Engine 1 and 20 in service 

Truck 9, 11, 26, 89, and 95 are in service unknown shop numbers

Engines 39, 64, 69, and 87 are in service unknown shop numbers

How come the squad was never returned after engine 7 moved out of 39s ?

800 and 900 series rescues are BLS. Example: Station 9 runs rescue 9 and 209. Those are ALS paramedic rescues. Rescue 809 and 900 are BLS emt’s.

That sucks. They just got that rig back.

Is there a list as to where these rigs are going ?

Looks like the went with a new lightbar on this one 

First off bro I was never bad mouthing the county. You know like I know that certain things that happen are beyond our pay grade. I don’t know if you followed or went to any of the meetings that the city of Hermosa Beach held prior to the final decision to transfer to L.A. County. Based upon those meetings I feel politics is what lead up to the transfer.  At the end of the day, the City of Hermosa Beach not the County sold the residents a dream.

How long do you think it will take USAR Task Force 103 to get to Hermosa from QTRS on a Tuesday at 4pm.

But hey it’s what we get paid to do right.

Does Rural Metro still do EMS anywhere in the US

No that’s not what I was saying. What I’m saying is that several years back they tried to build a new station 116 somewhere very close to the current station but one resident refuse to sell the property or something like that. As far as Hermosa Beach goes, the firefighters wanted to go county. The people were mislead into thing they were winning the lotto. Hermosa Beach: we can’t afford to build a new station, the county can build a new station at a cheaper cost, the county has better equipment and so on.

Truck now 95 in service who’s next ?
