Posted May 27, 2015 A Captain from St5 informed me that plans at LAX is a Mega Station. Merging 51 and 95 together and adding another CFR at the new station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2015 That's interesting. Wonder if these stations are to be merged due to the new Midfield Satellite Concourse Terminal being built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 Interesting news and would the 2 additional Crash rigs that LAX is receiving go to this mega-station? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 My understanding is yes on the two additional Crash Rigs. Also he stated that St80 is also going to move due to expansion. No one knows at this time if E51 will stay that number when they merge. I do not have a time line on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 Couldn't imagine 80's moving again. Just moved into the new station 2-3 years ago. Seriously doubt if that would take place. Maybe in the next 25 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 80 has been in the current station probably 10 years. And yes it's on the table with future develoments. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 Station 80 has only been open for approx 5 yrs. http://www.lawa.org/uploadedFiles/LAX/pdf/LAX_ARFF.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 Also USCG Air Station Los Angeles is leaving to Pt. Mugu because LAWA needs the space for a new terminal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2015 And word on where the CFR/ARFF rigs are coming from? And, where is the closest heavy rescue, if you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2015 And word on where the CFR/ARFF rigs are coming from? And, where is the closest heavy rescue, if you know. The only HR at this moment is HR 56 just northeast of Downtown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks Casey. Wow, that is a long haul to KLAX, if something happens and lots of rescue is needed. Though I suspect USARs are around and all the trucks carry light rescue gear. Surrounding areas too, like Santa Monica and Long Beach.

Station 5 houses a USAR rig, but I believe it is cross manned by TF 5. Corrections Welcome. Edited May 29, 2015 by Casey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2015 Station 5 houses a USAR rig, but I believe it is cross manned by TF 5. Corrections Welcome. I believe US&R 88 is the only staffed rig in the city; the others are cross-staffed. I suppose an aircraft incident requires at least a first alarm response (2 LF, 4 engines, 2 ambo's, and a battalion chief) in addition to the CFR response, which should bring a substantial amount of personnel and equipment.

Posted May 30, 2015 Hello, it's been a while since I've been on this site. It looks vastly different. My old handle on EMT Bravo was LAFD Engineer. I got an email through my flickr page from one of you regarding the Super Station as I am assigned to FS51. All I can tell you at this moment Is the Super Station is only in preliminary stages. There are many configurations being explored due to the long range plans of the airport. I can't get into detail which is which but stuff is in planning stages only. It's kind of an exiting time for all as we are seeing the changes around us. I've there since 2007 and I can't count the changes, too many. What I can tell you is six new ARFF rigs from Rosenbauer have been ordered and are on their way. First four by November, and the last two by Feb 2016. All the ARFF rigs at 80's being replaced, one in reserve, and one slated to go to 51's staffed by one engineer and one firefighter. The 51's ARFF rig is tentative at this moment. LAWA owns the ARFF apparatus not the LAFD so the fate of the E-Ones is unclear. The Oshkosh is slated to go to Van Nuys Airport.

The LAFD has an assignment for "Major Aviation Incident" with far more than this allocation and no ARFF stays available, even on a standby incident. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 7, 2015 Incorrect. The LAFD has an assignment for "Major Aviation Incident" with far more than this allocation and no ARFF stays available, even on a standby incident. FireGuy, This is what i was told by a Capt at St5. I'M sure i missed a few pieces of equipment. And this is for a standard standby. Not a working incident.

Posted June 8, 2015 Are there still 14 members on duty at 80's each shift? What is their make up? Capt II, I, engineers, FF? And what are their riding assignments? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
