What model Suburbans are they in these days?

So 5's has there KME as there Assesment Engine now? Is 205 a Pierce now? What about 95 and 295?

I was listening to the scanner last night and heard a call for what I believe was a structure fire. There was a DOA and this was before they even searched. They said the person was on the porch so maybe they died on the porch? I never heard them call out for a Coroner Investigator or transport unit. Do they make the call over the radio for the coroners office? If so how do they typically phrase it. Also how would PD call for a tow truck over the radio?

I see the new Dodge RAs are using the EQ2B. Sometimes there is another tone mixed in besides the horns and yelp. What siren or function is this?

How come they went to the EQ2B on the RAs instead of the good ol fashion Qs or the old Timberwolfs? @EMT_FS46 thanks for the link to the vid for 51. Didn't realize they had a new Dodge already!

Just wondered if this was an ALS bus or not? It has no paramedic markings on the side like some of the ALS Dodge buses do, but the Station Guide I found somewhere has it listed as ALS.

I am looking for the basic wording used on these calls.

This is one of the newer E450 Rescue but same principal marking wise. No mention of medic on the box. The back door on the left simply says LAFD.

Any one?

Thats why I asked. It should be ALS but missing the markings like all the other Dodge's. Sorry no link handy.

Has E295 gotten bumped up to a Pierce or are they still in a Seagrave? Is RA95 still in a Ford E series or have they received a Dodge? If they are still in a Ford, which year is it?

Just wanted to check on 51. Is E51 primary rig the green with blue chevrons still? What about RA51? Is this the current rig: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bravo457emergencyvehiclephotos/8312800930/ Also I stumbled on this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/monrovia1/10131962194/in/pool-920036@N20 Never seen one of these before. Is this for admin use?

Can't say I am a big fan of any of this design. Maybe seeing it in person would change my mind, but that front bumper look like it should have ALOT more ground clearance.

Thanks for Tue info seagrave!

I can't give any exact numbers but I have seen quite a few KMEs floating around.

Is B4 still using an old Chevy Suburban and EMS4 still in an old GMC Suburban?

Sorry brainfart! Was in a rush! Actually, I want to expand the original question to know makes/models for LAFD Stations 5 and 95!

I see CMEP has what looks to be a few old ambulances(retired BLS from LAFD?): http://www.cemp.org/photos.html#prettyPhoto[pp_gal]/27/ Are they able to respond Code 3? I have seen other S&R orginzations that utilize ambulances, old and new, but can not respond Code 2/3. Just wondered if CMEP is allowed to or not.

That's why I asked. I know other USAR orgs that utilize ambulances brand new from the shop out fitted with lighting but do not have the ability to respond code 3.
