Try as I might, I have never understood the LAFD's numbering scheme. So, would somebody please give a right coast firefighter an idea for how units are numbered within a station and or task force, the difference (if it still exists) between a light force, task force and heavy task force? I seem to remember some pictures in other collections (in real books, not online) of an impressive LAFD heavy task force. It was hard to imagine all that was crammed into a single firehouse. Also, maybe a primer on how the units are staffed and dispatched.
Thanks a million.
