California - Northern and Central small cities - Image7801 - 10-13-2015
I didn't find any forum topic about small California cities north of metro L.A., so I thought I'd start one.
Monterey is located about an hour and a half southwest of San Jose, on the coast. They operate from six stations with six engines, one truck, one rescue, a fireboat and two ARFF rigs.
Monterey Engine 2 (6412) is a 2002 Spartan Gladiator SS/Hi-Tech 1500/500/30b

Monterey Engine 6 (6416) is a Pierce Arrow XT PUC (sorry, no specs), based at the Monterey Peninsula Regional Airport.

Carmel-by-the-Sea is a small, wealthy community just south of Monterey. Their Department was absorbed into the Monterey FD sometime in the recent past, as far as I can tell. The only rig I could catch there is an older Ford E-350/Wheeled Coach Ambulance, parked on the street. I believe this is their second-out rig, as the primary ambo was parked in one of the bays. There was literally no where to park within several blocks of the station, so I couldn't actually get TO the station, just drive by.

Whats the deal with the plug and wire running up the side of the box? Is there a solar unit up there used for charging?
Thanks for sharing
California - Northern and Central small cities - Image7801 - 10-20-2015
I think it just goes over the top of the box and plugs into an outlet on/in the station. It probably goes overhead to either avoid a tripping hazard or the cord is too short...

Wow. They get to drive an engine 400 miles for a funeral?
Seems awful far. Who pays for the fuel?

Im with SFFD and we take ours down to services in Southern California almost as often as theres a LODD. The Dept covers the fuel and we volunteer to go. If theres no issues backfilling the rig were taking with a relief, I dont see an issue with it.
