Los Angeles County Fire Dept
Question for you West Coast guys, what was the county buying in between the Ward LaFrance days and the KME era? I've seen some Van Pelts and Simon-Duplex online but not a whole lot in between Emergency and the modern rigs.

The 80s and 90s seems to have been kind of a hodgepodge of brands as one after another longtime builder went away. There were quite a few ALF and Seagrave rigs purchased in the 80s, then in the 90s, it seems like they were shopping around the newer builders as you see a mix of Pierce, Spartan, KME as well as some of the more established brands like Duplex and Seagrave.

I was at KME in Pennsylvania last month for the final inspection on my department's 95' mid mount tower ladder.

 

Saw several of these cabs under construction - I believe they are for LA County.  Can any West Coast guys confirm?
