Posted June 13, 2013 Just thought I would share this. As of April 3, 2013 KME has been award a contract for 11 engines. I am assuming this is from the 2012-13 budget. http://fire.kovatch.com/productdivisions/FireDivision/FireDivisionHotTopics/NewsWire/13-04-03/City_of_Los_Angeles_Chooses_KME.aspx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 2, 2013 Any new info on the new trucks? I've heard about a wider body and heavy duty aerial? Is any of this true? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2013 Any new info on the new trucks? I've heard about a wider body and heavy duty aerial? Is any of this true? Should be going out to bid in a month or two. Yes its true. New Trucks will have 500lb ladder and 100" wide cab and body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2013 So i'm guessing no more LTI ladders Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 15, 2013 So i'm guessing no more LTI ladders With ALF owning LTI, unless they sell it, I don't think LAFD will be buying the LTI product, even if available for separate sale. I see KME getting this bid, and they build a just as good, if not better, product then LTI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 16, 2013 I remember back when all you would hear is bad talk about KME. Now that times are rough it seems like everyone is going with KME and are happy with them. I know San Diego FD had went to KME when they faced budget cut but have since went back to Pierce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 22, 2013 Are the emergency command vehicles going to be like the compartment body they've tried before, or a cap with a slide out bed like many other departments are starting to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 23, 2013 Sorry meant to say Brush Patrols. Thanks and no problem and I wonder who will be getting these 2 new Brush patrols since all the patrols seem to be newer models with oldest being a 1998 model. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 9, 2013 This info was taken directly from this years budget. Just thought I would share this. As of April 3, 2013 KME has been award a contract for 11 engines.

There are also LAFD budget requests books, which are not at all an indication of all that will be ordered. They are more of a reflection of needs, or a wish list if you prefer. Don't forget the 2013-14 City budget has also been adopted. EMTBravo likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
