[quote name='SrFireOfficial' post='262734' date='Nov 21 2008, 14:04 ']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.[/quote]
Back in the old days when the LAFD had the Heavy Duty Task Forces there would be (at Station 3 for example) Wagon 3, Pump 3, Engine 203, Truck 3 and even Snorkel 3.
Here's a link regarding the modern Task forces: its explained in good detail
