Posted February 2, 2020 SDFD has two new tractor drawn aerials on order. Slated to go to Trucks 1 and 35 for now. Also have 9 engines, 2 brush rigs, 2 light and air units, and 8 BC command pickups on order. BC's are going to Ford F series pickup trucks with a shell.

Posted February 2, 2020 Wonder if Pierce will get those? Also wonder why SDFR does not have any ladder platforms/towers? It is a bit unusual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 4, 2020 Nice design for the new TDAs I know 1s in downtown is no brainer but 35s in La Jolla? (UCSD/UTC,) I was thinking 21's in Pacific Beach. due to the narrow streets in the area. (I remember the department had those 2 Spartan/LTI tillers from long ago that was at 1s & 21s) Rescue51 likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back in the 90s San Diego did have a two Spartan TDAs both a Truck 1 and Truck 35 and that is when they were still painted white over red. before they went to their current color scheme of Red with Gold Trim.

Posted February 23, 2020 Are the two Brush Engines replacing current ones, or are they being added? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 12, 2020 Finally San Diego Fire Rescue is getting TDA's again and maybe this will be the beginning of San Diego transitioning to TDA's for their trucks just as L.A. County and Orange County did with their trucks going from rearmounts to TDAs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
