Thanks for the information...much appreciated.



When there was a Q049 was there also an E049 in quarters at the same time? I only ask because I thought E049 once had a '93 KME and didn't know if they closed the engine when they created Q49 and have now gone back to an engine only house.



Thanks in advance.

Larry,



When Q49 was put into service in '98 or so, they kept the engine in the house. So it was E49, Q49 & Sq49. Just after La Habra came over to the LACoFD, they moved the quint to 15's and put BC21 into 49's. The moving of the quint, closed Engine 15. So, Engine 49 never went oos. The engine that was Engine 15 was placed into service as E194, when the temp station was opened a couple of months after the taking in of La Habra in 2005. The only frontline rigs at 15's is Q15.



Hope that helps!
