Alhambra FD Station 72
Engine 72
Closed along with Station 74 for about a year after the 1987 Whittier Earthquake. Units from both stations were housed together at a temporary station during repairs.
This is the other station that was damaged during the '87 quake. I should say it was destroyed. They rebuilt it with some of the same bricks from the old station. Reopened in Summer of '93.

LACoFD Station 171
Inglewood
Engine 171, Squad 171, Squad 172, BC20
Central Ops Hq
Former Inglewood FS 41
Only station in the Department that is home to two PM Squads. Squad 172 moved from FS 172 couple of years ago when that station closed due to City finances. Engine 172 was closed down and the rig is now Engine 8. When the economy improves, it is believed that FS 172 will reopen.

Does Each Squad have there own Response area? or is it just they switch off for calls.

Quote:Also was the home of the "Valley" dispatch center for LACoFD, located in a seperate building in the rear......I worked there in 1989-90
That was during the time that the station was El Monte Station 24. Before El Monte annexed the area around the station, it was LACoFD 57s.
Was under the impression that the civilian dispatchers didn't start until after the new Command and Control building was completed next to Klinger Center.
