Now I see those are Drive through Bays, Do they treat them that way or do they Back In just wondering.

The driveway to the right of the station is too narrow for rigs to pull around. They back the rigs in. Gate is for FF POVs.

Here is a pic from 1985 of Engine 154 from Signal Hill. The County closed the station and Long Beach FD took over fire protection of the city of Signal Hill for about 10 years. Now back in the LACoFD, this is now Station 60.

Squad 3 did & still does. At the time, BC 3 also ran out of 3s & probably parked in back of the Truck, pointed out the rear of the station. BC has since moved to FS 27 in Commerce.

The 400 series rigs were Type 3 brush rigs. LACoFD had 10 of them scattered around the county. Mostly housed in stations that had a Truck Company, so that if needed, the truckies would jump on & respond. Then they would backfill the Truck with off duty FFs.

Anyone have a shot of the new TYPE 3 the County just got. Heard it was floating around before going off to 55's.

Unsure on the status of this rig.

From LACoFD.org



On November 29, the Board of Supervisors officially approved our Department's purchase of 15 new fire engines, including two aerial ladder quints, 12 pumpers and one foam pumper. These new apparatus will replace current engines that are being retired after over 20 years of service (15 years on the front lines and five years as reserve engines). Among their improved features, the new engines will boast enclosed cabs, improved firefighter safety components and lower emission diesel engines that will increase efficiency and reduce annual operating costs. While it has yet to be determined where the engines will go, the six new fire stations being added to the Santa Clarita Valley may be at the top of the list, according to Fire Captain Mark Savage. "New fire stations would be the first to be considered for the new fire engines," he said.

A quint-type aerial ladder apparatus provides the ability to perform both as a fire suppression pumper an as an aerial ladder truck. A pumper provides structural and wildland fire suppression and emergency medical response capabilities, while a foam pumper provides fire suppression for large petroleum and chemical fires. These new engines will allow us to continue to provide prompt, skillful and cost-effective fire protection and life safety services.
