    "The local fire departments that received the engines today were Consumes, Folsom City, Sacramento City, Sacramento Metropolitan, and West Sacramento."

     

    The Cal OES Flickr page has additional pics of the delivery press conference. Link below.  Engines are numbered 8431-8435.  Unknown as to which FD got which rig.

    I recall reading a blurb somewhere that I can't find right now, that Copter 17 was overhauled late '13 or early '14ish. They had planned to get it repainted when it returned from overhaul, but they needed to put it into service sooner than that due to major fires at the time.

    E-209 was reassigned as in E-9 not to long after the closures back in 2011, E-9's pierce was reassigned as E-89 and E-89's Seagrave

    was reassigned as E-289. T-14 went to T-12, T-72 Went to T-3, T-38 Went to T-85, T-58 Went to T-74, E-214 went to E43, E-296 went 

    to E-212 . I believe all closed Task Force Engines became either the Pump at those stations or became 400 series engines.

    Thanks,

    I had known about reassignments of what became LF12, and a few others that you listed. I lived just over the hill from 12's, and they had reassigned those two rigs before I moved.

    Thanks again!

    Waterguy,

    Has there been any changes to reassignments? I see that E-289 has been running with former E-89 (#60729) since at least mid July of last year. Just curious.

    Thanks

    Casey you were looking at the wrong fire. I wasn't talking about firefighter Taylor who fell though the roof at a restaurant fire(on January 28 1981). I was talking about firefighter Phillips who was knocked off of an Aerial Ladder at a Lumber Yard fire (on April 25th 1979) about 2 years earlier. Both of the fires were located on Lankershim however they were over two miles apart in distance.

    My apologies, but my suggestion still stands as to your writing the next permanent Chief as to your concerns about the lack of Towers/Platforms etc.

    Firepost,

    Unless I'm not reading it correctly, FF Taylor fell through the roof, and not off the ladder due to a ladder pipe malfunction. The site is run by a LAFD member and not a buff. If you are so "concerned" about the lack of Snorkles, Towers etc, write the new chief when they are appointed and get the official answer to your concerns.

    As a side note, the arsonist was up for parole earlier this year, and again was denied

    Respectfully submitted,
