Thanks for the info Firebuff, I heard from somebody that T60 got into an accident and thus the grill was replaced.

This may have been the accident, but the grill doesn't look damaged here. If not, it was probably from this accident: For those curious, the picture on the far left is shop # 60411, which was repaired and returned to service. The middle picture is shop # 60427, that engine was totaled. CIVILIAN FATALITY TRAFFIC COLLISION - LAFD INVOLVED: On Monday, March 05, 2001 at 1028 Hours (10:28 AM PST), five Companies of Los Angeles Firefighters, two Rescue Ambulances, one Heavy Rescue Company, one Bulldozer Transport, one Command Post unit and one Battalion Officer Command Team, all under the direction of Battalion Commander Jeffrey Marcus responded to a Civilian Fatality Traffic Collision with Fire Department involvement in the 11100 block of West Camarillo Street in North Hollywood. LAFD Truck 60, a 1995 LTI Tractor-Drawn Aerial Ladder Truck (Shop #60482), was responding in emergency mode to the 4600 block of Denny Avenue. Traveling in Light Force formation with Engine 260 and accompanied by Rescue 60, Firefighters were en route to aid an 89 year-old female who was reportedly in cardiac arrest. Pursuant of protocol, the group was traveling convoy style eastbound on Camarillo Street, a residential thoroughfare, with their lights and sirens activated, when they encountered a dark green Dodge pickup in the number one eastbound lane. Witnesses state that as Truck 60 attempted to pass the civilian vehicle on the left, it suddenly and unexpectedly turned into their path. The collision between the 58,000 lb. emergency vehicle and pickup truck destroyed the latter vehicle, and briefly pinned the 70 year-old female driver in the wreckage. An unoccupied car parked nearby also sustained damage. Rescue 60 continued on to the Denny Street address, as Paramedic Assessment Engine 86 was mustered to precede them. Truck 60 personnel, including Paramedic-trained Firefighters, came immediately to the pickup driver's aid, finding her pulse-less and non-breathing. Briskly extricating her, they instituted intense life support measures. Engine 86 found the woman at the Denny Avenue address deceased and released Rescue 60 to return to the collision site. The pickup driver was subsequently transported to Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, where despite the efforts of LAFD personnel and emergency room staff, she was declared deceased at 1052 Hours. There were no physical injuries to Firefighters, but a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) was instituted for those involved. It is important to note that there have been more than 2.25 million emergency responses by LAFD personnel since the last Department involved civilian fatality collision. That incident occurred on April 20, 1996, when a similar action by a motorist in the Fairfax District placed her compact vehicle directly in the path of LAFD Engine 61 during an emergency response.
In a discussion I was having with JFong something hit me could the LTI 47's has ber 9's old rig?
Engine 82 First due on the Hollywood sign Engine 298
Do the LAFD Engines carry any ground ladders? I don't seen any mounted on the outside of the rigs, although there looks like there might be compartments that could hold them in some of the rear shots that have been posted.

Check out post #123, the rear shot of E27. There should be 3 compartments on the officers side of the rig. The first one on top is a storage bin, the second one holds the ground ladders and the last one on the bottom opens into a side compartment.
