So does the LAFD returned to the practice of assigning two Engines of an order to Task Force? I do understand for a while they discontinue this practice so all regular Engines had enclose cabs for the purpose saftey while fighting wildfires.



Also is Station 9 still has it Task Force set up where Engine 9 and Engine 209 are fully staff? How many men run on Ladder 9?



Is the LAFD looking into making any of their other busy Task Forces set up like this? In which Engine 9, Engine 209, and Ladder 9 respond independent of each other. Meaning they could in theory respond to three seperate incidents. Now on this does mean that Ladder 9 responds without a Pump (200 series Engine) which isn't unheard of at times when at times those Engines can be 'pressed' into service as the Engine for the station when it is OSS for short period of times. I do remember seeing a story about one of the 200 series Engine involved in accident as it was responding as the Engine of the Task Force since the Engine was OSS.



Thank you in advance.
