I wonder what happened to this one. In April, it was noted that delivery was imminent. Did they refuse delivery? I'm sure if they had it we would have seen photos by now...

MAU stands for Mobile Air Unit, A Truck that responds to incidents with additional air bottles as well as additional lighting
EST stands for Emergency Support Team

The original Mobile Aid unit (a "Heavy Squad" in later parlance) was the re purposed ca. 1970 Dodge/SABCO rescue ambulance, acquired when County took over Whittier FD.  This rig can be seen in Emergency! S01 E07, the trench rescue, shot on Universal Studios lot, above the Hollywood Fwy.  Several other re purposed RA's (1 from Inglewood FD) and a Ford Type II from an unknown dept. have been used in recent years.

What are the hose lengths and size in the bed of an engine company

However, some engines may have things set up a little different for their own jurisdictions. In the rear, there is always 4" and 2 1/2" hose. There is 1 3/4" in the stinger box, and a lot of the time there is 1 3/4" hose in the rear bed too

What is the length of the stinger line and the other 1 3/4 line and don’t they usually carry a 2 1/2 in the crosslays as well? Thx
