OVSD aircrews vs OCFA aircrews

5 posts in this topic

turf battle been going on for years, ocsd says they provide search and rescue and ocfa provides the paramedic care and transport..ocfa feels different, sadly ocsd feels they can jump the call if they feel like it  and nobody is going to tell them not too. the board of supes was supposed to get involved in this , but likely to take a back seat to it all

We don't have that problem here in Phoenix as we only have law enforcement birds to respond to hoist calls. Problem with that is they are not always available. A lot of down time with those birds.

I LACOfire is primary for search and medicals on all calls and sheriff is secondary so if fire guys busy they get called. But they are better about communication and have better relationship. I know air Rescue 5 primarily works out of angles forest. Sherriff only had one response ship with hoist and paramedics. Versus fire has 6?
