I believe or was told and thought they had a smaller shop in CA for the La county stuff.

They do have a shop in CA, but it is a service center, not a manufacturing facility.
Since they have not been awarded a contract by FDNY, someone lied to you! I recently visited the KME factory. They are well below full capacity, compared to what I have seen on previous visits. I think they will easily be able to increase production to fill the FDNY contract, if they get it, and keep the current schedule for everyone else.

We are in the middle of having a KME built for us and we were told it is going to take a while because they are building the FDNY rigs.
