Great shots guys. If I'm not mistaken LA is the last remaining urban jurisdiction to utilize a 2-Piece Engine company (or light/task force) concept. I happen to think it's a great concept. Here in DC it was pretty common years ago but with budget issue and "modern ideas" the 2-piece Engine/Pumper officially went bye bye in the early to mid 80's.
Is it used anywhere else but Cali?
Thanks!

I believe Los Angeles is the only City in California to still use this concept. Other cities do have task forces or light forces but are vastly diffirent from LAFD.
