Ya, it was an odd looking unit. Was bought just prior to the FD being annexed into the LACoFD.  That happened in '98-'99.

Former Lynwood FD

 

Engine 32

 

After Lynwood contracted LACoFD for fire protection about 15 years ago, the County did not take this in the deal, and Lynwood sold it to neighboring Compton as a reserve.

Former Lynwood FD

 

Engine 31

 

This rig was retained by the LACoFD and was assigned to former FS 32 as LACoFD Engine 148.

 

Former Lynwood station 31 renumbered to LACoFD FS 147 and LFD FS 32 became LACoFD 148.  Lynwood's Truck Company had an elderly Crown Snorkle and was given to Compton FD for their Training Academy

I can't believe they weren't fond of the Tower ladder, those Mack aerialscopes were icons and very reliable. They are still sought after today. I believe that scope is serving Lima Fire Department in PA

believe it or not everyone is not in total awe of Mack Aerial scopes. neighboring departments around me had or still have them and I am not a fan very slow to set up and they are rust buckets, although reliable they're many better options out there.

Quote:How Many Mack CF's did Arcadia run?
As of circa 1994, Arcadia's roster was as follows,

 

E31 1990 Mack/LTI 1500/300/75'

E32 1987 Mack CF 1500/500

E33 1991 Pierce Arrow 1500/500

T31 1979 Crown Snorkel 85'

Reserve E34 1983 Mack 1500/500

Reserve E35 1981 ALF 1750/500

 

In 1999, Arcadia joined the Verdugo Fire Comm Center.  Station renumbering was as follows

 

Station 31 became Station 105

Station 32 became Station 106

Station 33 became Station 107.

 

Reserve apparatus were assigned 700 series numbering.  ie, Engine 705 would be the reserve engine at Station 105, Engine 707 would be out of Station 107.

 

Hope that helps.

In the background, you can see the rear end of the Mack/LTI 75'.  At this point, it was Reserve Truck 706.

They had the Mack/LTI up until a few years ago.
