Posted June 23, 2016 Where is the old one going? I take that the new US&R 88 has similar specs to the previous one.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2016 Additional Video from Pierce of new US&R 88 going up. Looks like an american flag painted on the grill. A first for LAFD. https://www.facebook.com/Pierce/videos/10157016740750527/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 24, 2016 I believe 89 is going to get the hand me down and the current USAR 89 will become a dedicated reserve USAR rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 8, 2016 Interesting to see the red lens light bar different from the clear lens ones they been using also the front flood lights are different from ones they have been using. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 9, 2016 those light bars are reversible, they are all red on one side, you can flip it around and it is all clear like the engine companies. there are a few departments that have tried them both ways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 9, 2016 Looks like Both sides of the lens are red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 11, 2016 That's Whelen Freedom bar. They are not two sided. Clear or red. Clear lense have a red LED light as the red lense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 13, 2016 No white lights in the light bar smh. I prefer the light bar on truck 9 and 29. The 2 white lights in the light bar makes a big difference in visibility. Just my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 13, 2016 I agree 'EMT_FS46'. It's amazing what a few white LED lights can do to increase recognition during day and night. The new AMR medic rigs serving now in El Cajon (Heartland), have a combo white/red LED's and it really catches your attention compared to the all reds. Recall one of the manufacturers of light bars/lights, once had something called a STINGER. I think the white lights are like stinger lights, it stings the eyes enough to get motorists attention.

Posted July 14, 2016 I believe they removed the white light from the light bar as they have two white lights below the windshield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 19, 2017 Another new Pierce LAFD US&R 88. Lightbar and Rear View Mirrors now matches new Trucks and Engines from Pierce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 19, 2017 They really sent it back to replace those parts? I figure that could been done at dealer in Ontario did they do anything else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 20, 2017 can anyone confirm this is a brand new rig and. It a pic the someone photo shopped. 88s current rig is only about a year old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2017 It is in Pierce's own Flickr account, so it is must be a new delivery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2017 6 minutes ago, Rescue51 said: It is in Pierce's own Flickr account, so it is must be a new delivery. I concur with that as the shop numbers are different. The one delivered last year was number 29279, and the most recent one has the number 31012. Also, the numbers directly above the cab doors are different. So this leads me to believe that they are two different rigs. Does this mean that the old USAR units (27 and 89) are being replaced with the 88's previous rigs?

Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) I would think that USAR 3 would get a new rig before 27s and 89s. But I can see 88s last 2 rigs going to 27s and 89s. I wonder is squad 21 will get a new rig next. Edited October 21, 2017 by EMT_FS46 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2017 So because 88s is 88s,they get first dibs on new USAR rigs? I can see why that would be the case, just curious as to how the flow down works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it’s because 88’s is the only fully staffed USAR (the others are cross-staffed). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 22, 2017 Now we can have some ready reserve USAR'S that would definitely be useful when we have our big earthquake and when the Olympics come to LA in 2028. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
