Does anyone have info when this went into service?

I may be aging myself, but there used to be 400 series engines for Brush fires.  Are they still around?

LACoFD used to have 400 series engines which I believe was phased out in the 1970s but with the recent purchase of type 3 engines, the 400 series numbers are back. Station 85 has engine 485. Station 125 has engine 4125 etc.

An extremely reliable source told me that due to HM129 running very few, if any calls, in the Antelope Valley, they decided to no longer staff the unit.  Hence removing Engine 329's staff and running E233 in it's place.  Station 33 appears to be the busiest station in the AV, so not a bad move I guess.

Are the PCF engines still in service?

IMHO The best thing they can do is increase the size of the PCF staffing and units, a real force multiplier.
