Hi.I'm Glad that you mentioned that you are from LA City.I happen to find the LA City Fire Department quite facinating.In fact I'm very interested in the History of the LAFD especially some of it's Fire Company's.One reason why I find the LAFD interesting is that is pretty close in size to the Chicago Fire Department and that LAFD has had a CLASS 1 Rating for a long time now.I understand that the LAFD has had a Class 1 rating since the late 1940's.
By the way the Lafd has 49 Truck Company's which includes Ladder 9 the only single piece Truck and Light Force's 28 and 102 that don't have Engine company's stationed with them. I'll continue this via private message as this is getting off of the topic however. Thanks Firepost.
