Former LAFD Emergency Air 1

1948 Mack

 

Was replaced in 1984, just prior to the Olympics, that were held in LA, and was given to the LAPD Dive Team.  Most likely salvaged by now.  Taken at Dodger Stadium in 1981 during a muster.

Would you happen to have a walk around in your collection showing the opposite sides and rear of this unit and the engine before it?  I like to build models and for some

reason I've always really liked the Ford cabs and these units are kind of cool looking which might make a neat model.

 

Thanks,

 

Kris

Chuck Madderom's LAFD book says that these were originally delivered in 1972 with ALF bodies as 1000/400 pumpers. 14 were delivered. In 1984, 4 had their bodies replaced with Royal Body Company squad bodies and went to Hazmat Squads 4, 27, 39, and 48. In 1992 they became USAR apparatus.

Kris,

 

  I'll have to double check on any other angles.  I know for a fact that i may not have a shot of the rear end. Still sorting and making some order of dozens and dozens of pics to be scanned.  I will see abt the "before" pics.

This replaced the 1948 Mack posted earlier.  This has since been replaced in the last 6-7 yrs, with the current EA 1.

How will these be deployed; are they for use on large scale brush fires or also intended for use in an urban setting?



Los Angeles Fire Dept - Monrovia1 - 06-30-2016

I have seen them in use during this past January's rains when they were used to respond into flooded areas to rescue stranded motorists. LAFD has used them quite a bit on a few of there own brush fires but for out of city deployments CAL-EMA formerly CAL-OES

If I remember correctly (it's been a few years since I lived in California) the CalEMA resources are "given" to local departments and can be used locally with the understanding that if the resources are needed for a strike team, the local department has to staff it and go.  Those are Type 3 engines.  I believe there's a handful of Type 1 engines, some USAR rigs, and water tenders as well.
