So do they now have enclosed cabs for all of the 200 Engines or are some still running with the open jump seats?



Thank you in advance.

That's the goal, to get all the 200 Series out of the canopy cab Seagrave and into an enclosed rig. Most of the time when a station receives a new engine, their current engine gets bumped down into the 200 and their older 200 rig (most likely an older Seagrave)will either be surplused/reserve/training engine.

I am NOT in favor of it!!!! Removing the SCBA's from the cab is yet another move from the safety Gods that delays attacking the fire. A fire doubles in size every minute....longer you wait, the more chance of a flashover. Yes, size up is absolutely important, but look at the building when you are stretching your line. The officer can do his size up while the crew stretches its line.....





I guarantee you that if a kid or a fellow firefighter is trapped when they show up, 90% of firefighters want their airpack on their back and not in a compartment.

Training, training, training is what we need...

Disciplined fireground attack is what we need.....

Pretty soon we'll all be fighting the fire from the station 'cause it'll be safer that way....

(sorry, cranky this morning...thanks for letting me rant....)

Like the Homeland Security Vehicle, what all does it do?

[Guest]

I'm not 100% sure I know LACoFD, and LA Sheriffs have similar rigs, JFONG may know.

[mfd110]

Thanks maybe someone will know.

The modules are called the Anteres system built by a Future Concepts. Its somewhat a command/communications and interoperability vehicle in one. In an emergency (such as earthquake) it allows different agencies to share real time information via satellite communications.

Here's what the system looks like in the rear of the Homeland Security Suburban, other local fire departments have them too (last I heard there were 14 built)
