Larry,
In a nutshell, according to the 2011 Deployment Plan from LAFD Dept Bulletin # 11-105, on July 5, 2011 the following changes in staffing and resources will occur:
-Closing 1 Division office (Division 1 will be eliminated, now there will be a North and South Division)
-Closing 2 Battalion offices (Battalion 3 and 7)
-Closing 12 Engine companies, opening 1 new engine company (E1, 209, 20, 35, 50, 69, 73, 74, 75, 92, 96 and 105 will be closed)
-Closing 7 Light Forces (LF 14, 17, 28, 38, 47, 58, 72)
-Closing 7 800 series ambulances, opening 3 new 800 series RA
-Closing 1 Paramedic RA and opening a new RA (resources shuffled in Battalion 13).
-Upgrade 10 companies to Paramedic Assessment companies.
-Swap the resources from Fire Station 4 and Station 21 (HMTF 4 will move to 21s and vice versa).
-Eliminate the Staff Assistant Positions from 7 battalion offices.
-Rename the Staff Assistant Positions to Emergency Incident Technicians (EIT).
Battalions 1, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13 will KEEP their Staff Assistants.
Battalions 2, 6, 9, 14, 15, 17, 18 will LOSE their Staff Assistants. All BC in this group will be “paired” with their respective EMS battalions. The BC and EMS will share an EIT.
-Open 1 new EMS Battalion office. Also certain duties currently handled by the EMS battalion chiefs will be reassigned to different areas within the fire department.
-Increase the 400 series Ready Reserve Engine fleet (closed resources like Engines and Light Forces will become ready reserves).
-Increase the 600 series Ready Reserve Ambulance fleet (from closed resources and adding Ready Reserve RA to certain stations).

Considering it was only few years ago that Engine 209 upgraded from 2nd unit of Light Force 9 to Fully staff Engine. So will Task Force 9 be reformed with Ladder 209 being mated with Engine 209 as it 2nd unit again?
