I certainly hope they win!

Probably no more (quite possibly less) than the FDNY rigs. Doesn't look like it have anything special except a larger tank (thus the reason for the dual rear axles).

This station has the same issue I have many new fire stations. Complete glass doors! While after spending many years in the fire service I certainly realize the need for drive through bays don't understand the need for full glass doors. They are extremely energy wasteful and other than...

I was thinking about the same thing reading the assignment of the units to yesterdays fire in Staten Island. My thought went a little further. All the rescues now have a fully stocked 2nd unit from what I've heard, I was wondering if the squad manned that piece and that's basically became a...

Wait a minute, she actually appointed somebody with qualifications to become a Deputy Commissioner? She must be trying to help her image!

Nice-looking rig but I wish it was red! I thought pretty much everybody was going away from this color. Actually it looks like we are seeing more and more gray over red!

Nice looking rig, too bad that Pierce won't bid on the FDNY rigs!

Nice looking rig but it is certainly 1 of the plainest looking ones I've seen in a long time. No fancy striping, multiple colors or anything like that.

It's either a truck with a 2nd piece in the members write the 2nd piece or it's a piece that's special called and members already on scene man it when it arrives. Actually, that doesn't look like anything that Pierce manufacturers these days, makes me think it's probably an older piece that no...

Don't forget all of the new equipment has all of the restrictions on the diesel engines mandated by federal requirements. That has a big effect on the performance of the engines.

Looks really don't matter, their performance is what matters!

If Car 1 makes many more changes be a lot of plate assignments vacant!

I'm not so sure that the super pumper is a white elephant at such, I'm sure they have plans for its use and housing, they just haven't shared it yet. As far as personnel changes go, some of them are probably for good reason but also special in the case of commissioners and the upper echelons...

This sounds great upfront but I'm afraid you're going to get many people applying to become volunteers only to get a tax exemption. The departments are going to have to set up standards for training, responses and probably even commitment to doing the work Req to keep the system from being abused.

Any idea if the building was reoccupied after the October fire?

I'd be more likely to believe it it wasn't put on by the equipment supplier or LAFD.
