Posted March 15, 2018 The land underneath the engines and the numbers on the door are all different but the backgrounds are exactly the same (flags in the exact same position and whatnot). I wonder what the background really looks like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder what the background really looks like? If I recall, I remember reading a few years ago, the pics are shot next to one of the buildings and in the background they had parts on pallets and such. Photoshop can be your best friend. mr.ranger likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put these coordinates into Google Maps and it shows exactly where pic is taken --- There is actually an engine sitting in the spot for a photo. 44°14'33.6"N 88°28'11.8"W Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Is LAFD trying to ditch the KME’s ? Engine 33 is only a 2nd or 3rd gen. It’s either barely or not even at its mid life. Same with engine 87. Edited July 8, 2018 by EMT_FS46 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 5, 2018 What is the hose compliment on the engine thx ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 5, 2018 I did find some info on hoses carried but how come lafd does not use preconnects Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 5, 2018 Hose Complement on Engine Companies (in general) is 600' 4" Supply, 750' 2 1/2", 300' 1 3/4" 300' 1 1/2" 500' 1". The 1 3/4", 1 1/2" & 1" are crossbed loads. There are companies that carry more hose depending on their individual district needs and challenges. Pre-connects are not used because of several factors. Mostly your limited to a certain amount of hose per pre-connect. Engineers can monitor the hose leaving their apparatus and attach more hose quickly. In Los Angeles, some property lots are deep and it is quicker to just grab the nozzle, pay out hose as you go and pull sufficient hose to your objective. In LAFD training, they teach, when you get to your objective, you want to have enough hose to reach around the entire structure. I hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
