Put into service last week. This 2010 Dodge is assigned to Squad 11 in Altadena.

Due to budget issues with the City of Inglewood, LACoFD has closed FS 172. The engine was reassigned to Engine 8 in W. Hollywood. Former E8 has been put into reserve status as E5152 @ FS 152. Former 5152 (a former Covina FD Pierce Arrow) will be auctioned off. Squad 172 has been transferred to FS171 & will still be known as Sq172.

I have seen a photo of E08 in a KME Predator, and not recently. Did this go to reserve, despite being relatively new, or the former '95 KME pumper at E08?



Thanks in advance.

This afternoon 11/23/10 LA County Inmate Crew 14-3 was traveling on Highway 138 when a white suv veered into there lane, The foreman driving the rig took action to avoid a collison but the vehicle similar to the one seen in the photo rolled over,



The civilan occupant in the vehicle that collided with the crew bus was killed and sadly 1 LA County Inamte Firefighter was also killed while other members of the crews sustained various injuries.

Larry,



The rig going into reserve is a '95 KME. The Predator that you may have seen, maybe here on fp, was really 208s acting as E8. It was parked in front of the station, iirc.



Hope that clears it up.

Inmate Firefighter's are Prison Inmates in the custody of the California Dept of Corrections, They are prisoners who have been convicted of a crime but instead of taking up space in a prison they are training in wildland firefighting and assigned to a fire camp run by LACoFD and the CDC

The Sheriffs Dept no longer operates any inmate camps they closed them due to budget cuts, Camp 12 was taken over by LACoFD and made into a paid hand crew.

2 questions for the LACo guys...

1) What is the current list of CAMP CREWS since the Inmate Camps are closed?

2) I have seen photos of a NEW 4 door Dodge Squad with "51" on the door... is this real or just another made up for a PR photo???

The Inmate Camps 11, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 19 are still open those camps are run by the California Dept of Corrections along with LACoFD, Paid Camps are 2,8,9,& 12.

Camp 12 was the former Sheriffs inmate camp that was closed and converted to a paid crew run by LACoFD.



The four dodge squad numberd as Squad 51 was for a PR purposes the current Station 51 can not fit a four door squad they are assigned one of the few two door squads.
