Posted January 9, 2016 Nice looking rig is the first of 4 to come? are the older rigs from lax gonna be sent to van nuys airport? Don't they have really old rigs too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Correct this is part of the first order of 4. The last 2 will be about ~6 to 8 months behind as they were ordered in 2015 vs part of the first order in 2014. Edited January 9, 2016 by Seagrave7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 10, 2016 2 will be going to Van Nuys and one is suppose to go to 51's from what I heard don't know if this is true and also are all the crash rigs going to be 6 by's including the Rapid intervention vehicle or is the Rapid Intervention Vehicle going to be a 4 by.

Posted January 11, 2016 I understand all 6 will be assigned to LAX. 4 at 80's 1 at 95's and 1 at 51. But again since it wont fit at 51's. Is LAX and LAFD still considering building a new mega station incorperating ST95 and 51? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 11, 2016 all 6 will go to lax , one of the rigs currently at 80 will go to van nuys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2016 Really surprised they didn't get the large arff trucks, like the E-Ones. With all those large jumbo jets flying in there, larger makes more sense. All of Phoenix's arff trucks are the large ones, and their airport is much smaller than LAX. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2016 Hi Bbuckeyefyfoto, I agree. I am a bit surprised the contract went to Rosenbauer for ARFF/CFR only because Oshkosh and E-One have rigs that I believe are more proven from time. The smaller rigs may have been a selection due to a more rapid response time, given weights, though you'll have less water supply when you arrive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 13, 2016 I thought LAFD was looking at 4K gal ARFS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2016 I'm sure when it came to bid came down to who could do it cheaper. Although I do remember they had some problems with previous order that went to Ontario I believe which part of LAX world airports. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2016 Did all the Colets go to the scrap heap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 14, 2016 That looks to be a 3000 gallon tank on each of those rigs. Based on that LAX will more than exceed the FAA minimum for water. The minimum requirement is .... (e) Index E. Three vehicles— (1) One vehicle carrying the extinguishing agents as specified in paragraphs (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section; and (2) Two vehicles carrying an amount of water and the commensurate quantity of AFFF so the total quantity of water for foam production carried by all three vehicles is at least 6,000 gallons.

Posted January 17, 2016 Will there be additional staffing at 80's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 18, 2016 Yes there will be additional staff at 80's and it will be interesting to see how much room will be left at 80's with 6 crash rigs and the stairs unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 23, 2016 Any one know how Burbank likes theirs? Considering all front line BUR ARFF are Panthers, I'd say they like them. The Stryker is now in reserve status. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2016 Wonder if the Airport Authority will ever build a new fire station at Burbank Airport. This station has been there, since Lockheed stopped ARFF service there, and left altogether. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 24, 2016 Fewer crash rigs as well at Bob Hope Airport in comparison to the amount of crash rigs that Lockheed had at that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 30, 2016 Yes there will be additional staff at 80's and it will be interesting to see how much room will be left at 80's with 6 crash rigs and the stairs unit. If I recall correctly 80's was staffed with a Captain II, Captain I, Engineer, 3 A/Os and 8 FFs. Is this still the case? Any word on the ranks of the additional staff and riding assignments?
