According to Fire Apparatus Magazine, LAFD will be acquiring a KME Hazmat unit. Is this replacing Squad 21?

I'M surprised LAFD went with KME since they were not happy with the engines they bought.

Agreed! I would’ve thought Pierce would win the contract given that most of the fleet is now Pierce, but I guess money does talk lol

A lot of the new trucks are replacing 2006 and 2010 ALF's the still have a few years left of front line life I would imagine that they will be hand me downs to some of the station's still in 2000 ALF's

Truck 33 is next up. Also I was wondering if anyone knows why they ditched the grey ladder like on truck 11 for white ?

I was told the Fire Fighters Bitched and complained about the color. So the decision to stay White was made.  A lot of FF like the Grey color but too  many complained.
