    on typical radio procedure they dont announce deaths on the  air  . if they do they use radio codes  . LACoFD uses a code F  LA sheriffs uses 927 D  or they make request they dont known on the MDT in the rigs  .......

    a few years back the la county sheriffs captured a presuit bad guy . the chp was also on scene . this was in the sheriffs jursidiction and their bust . the chp argued that it was their arrest . and the 2 departments began arguing who should take the perp to jail . the funny thing is the chp has no holding cells at their station here in santa clarita . they book all prisoners at the LASD station . to continue  both departments got into a very heated argument. from what i was told by a deputy they almost came to blows . i am still not sure who took the guy to jail ! so captians from both departments also got into it . finally sheriff baca and the chp top guy had to step in .  the prisoner must have been freaking out . no one got hurt .  true story !

    years ago when i worked for an ambulance company , i was chased down on a code 3 call transporting for LACoFD . this officer pulled us over wanting to know where we going in such a hurry . i explained we were in route to an emergency call . the officer followed us to the sceen . then departed when he saw the fire dept. on sceen and we pulled out our gurney . i have also seen on you tube videos in other states of fire fighters being arrested for this same thing .  i dont get it ! sceen safety is priorty one .  in my opinion the CHP is way out of line. we are all on the same team . the job is dangerous enough with CHP pulling this stunt . why wasnt the CHP helping to secure the sceen to help clear up the TA asap .instead of hasseling the FD .

    I'm familiar with the normal LA County Field Battalion Chief's 1-22 but there's a few other BC suburban's I've seen that have me wondering,
     
    I know Battalion's 44 & 45 supervise the camps and heavy equipment
     
    What about Battalion 42 and 64 what are they in charge of?.
