No mics? Hows that work?

 

It's a bad picture, I think there is a system where you use one mic and select which radio head you are utilizing

There were some at the back

Out of all the past rigs that have served as HR 56 now HR 3 this one is probably my favorite.

Just out of curiosity, what is something like this used for, how often would it be used & would it really be used enough to justify having multiple ones in service?

Just out of curiosity, what is something like this used for, how often would it be used & would it really be used enough to justify having multiple ones in service? With close to 4 MILLION people living in Los Angeles alone, this Heavy Rescue rolls code-3 MANY times a day on every physical rescue in the entire City of Los Angeles. Staffed 24/7 by an engineer and a firefighter.

I realize both the size & population of Los Angeles. I also know that the population of New York is more than double that (8.5m to 3.9m) and they don't have a single one in service. Chicago is close in size (2.7m) and they have nothing like this in service. What makes LA unique and what is it actually used for?

     In terms of square miles, Los Angeles has New York City and Chicago both beat. Los Angeles is 503 square miles. The only front line Heavy  Rescue manned 24/7 by LAFD. Responds on virtually every report/actual physical rescue i.e. vehicle crash, train crash, plane crash, cave-ins, bldg. collapse, etc. VERY BUSY rig. As well as emergency tire changes for apparatus. LAFD has ran Heavy Rescues since the 1950's. The City of Los Angeles is very fortunate to have a rig as such. L.A. County Fire runs a very similar rig for the same role/purpose. The County just bought a new replacement for the current HR-103, but is not in service yet.

In addition to LAFD, City of Miami, Washington DC also have similar sized "cranes" available for heavy rescue capability although I can not speak to their deployment or staffing models.  If I remember correctly, FDNY shops also received a similar sized "crane" for towing apparatus as well as rescue capabilities.
