How does the LA County F.D deal with EMS and fire responses in Station 110's Area?

[firepost 15]

In LA county's Station 110's district which is Marina Delray while they have both an Engine company and a Tillered Quint however, there is no Paramedic Squad assigned so I was wondering what does the LA County FD do when there is a request for EMS service? Does Engine 110 or Quint 110 respond as a paramedic unit so they don't have to dispatch a Paramedic Squad from a Station that is  several miles further into  LA County's jurisdictional area?

LA County Station 58 is the nearest county station with a Paramedic Squad assigned to it however Station 58 is about 5 1/2 miles further east in the Ladera Heights area, so  even  if  LA county were to dispatch Squad 58,  the drive into station 110s  district would be over 10 minutes and may even be longer then 15 minutes if the incident is on the farthest  end of 110's district. There are 3 LA City fire stations that are actually closer to LA county  110's district then Station 58 is. LA city Stations 63, 67 and 62 are all closer to Station 110s area then Station 58 is  and besides Station 58  being over 5 miles away there is no guarantee that the Squad would be available so if Squad 58 is not available LA county would need to dispatch a Squad that would be even farther away.  While LA county Stations 110 and 58 are located in Battalion 1 the stations in LA county Battalion 1 (with the exception of Stations 7 and 8 and 58 and 38) are so spread out and far from each other they might as well be located in different cities as the stations that are assigned to LA county Battalion 1 are not even in a contiguous territory like most other Fire Battalions are  laid out.

LA county Battalion 1 has Station 51 which is located in the south end of the Valley and then there are stations 7 and 8 which are located in West LA  and then there are Station 38 and 58 which are in Windsor Hills and Ladera Heights. Then there is Station 110 located at Marina Delray. Besides Stations 7 and 8 all of the rest of the Station in Battalion 1 service other areas which in most cases are not even in the same  geographical areas. 

Another related question I have is when there is a reported Structure fire in  Station 110's area who are the 2nd and 3rd due fire companies into Station 110's area ? Does LA county have an automatic aid agreement with the LA city fire department so that Stations 63, 67 and 62 will respond into Station 110s district or does LA county automatically dispatch  Stations 58 and 38 as well as Stations 7 and 8 into Station 110s area?

It is almost ridiculous that Marina Delray isn't given over to the CIty of Los Angeles rather then remain under County  Jurisdiction as beside the  Marina and some of it's surrounding streets that area is surrounded by the city on three sides and La City fire stations virtually surround Station 110's district. 

Assuming that Station 110s 2 units are equipped and trained as Paramedic units it would also make sense to have automatic responses from LA city fire department ambulances at Stations 63, 67 and  62 as the the La City Paramedic ambulances from Stations 63 and 62 are closer to Marina Delray then the nearest LA county Squad is. That's not to mention that La County needs to have a private Ambulance dispatched into their areas to do patient removals.

The way LA County runs on on the western side of the county has always amazed me. Things have gotten a little better over the last 2 decades with the City of Inglewood and Garden switch over to the County. Due to the unincorporated areas of LA county which mean that section was never annexed by a city leaves broken pieces to cover. Marina Del Rey as well as 51s ( back lot of Universal Studios) fall in the unincorporated section where as 7s and 8s are contracted by the City of West Hollywood. Squad 58 has always been primary paramedic for 38s and 110s. When Inglewood crossed over that made squad 172 or 171 next up to respond into 110. The 90 freeway in Culver City cuts the response time down going into 110s. 58s and 38s are relatively close to each other with the distance of station to station only being about a mile maybe a mile and a half away. Structure fires in 110s very. There is an auto aid agreement with LA City 63s depending on availability. Sometimes you will get a double dispatch from County and City on fires in Marina del Rey.

Thanks for replying to my questions as it just seems weird how those La County Stations  seem to be isolated in the an area that is mainly dominated by Los Angeles City Stations.
