I remeber hearing there is no pump on this rig that they have to manually set up the rig for operation

I was finally able to digitize some of the prints I have and here is a pic of the apparatus bay of LA Co FD Camp 2. It is located next to Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL). This shot is from the early to mid 80's, so they might have done some remodeling since.

Here's a shot of one of LA County's new KME Engines, parked at my station the other day. The local KME dealer has the rig out showing it off before its delivered to LA. Should be out there within a few weeks. I thought it was pretty neat to shoot an LA rig here in North Carolina!! I even got to drive it! <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

You may be thinking of old Foam 10. It was on a Mack MR or MC COE chassis, and I believe it had no pump.



I think it was a former ARCO rig, donated to LACoFD. There is a huge ARCO refinery in the Carson/Dominguez area (127's & 10's first-in area).



Best to all,



Mike

The link is to show FOAM 5127 the Mack rig. It has a pump BUT looks like the panel is open and shows the inside of the operations...

Foam 5127 was a former SHELL Oil rig. Here is the rig that the current Foam 10 replaced, I believe.

I know it's a little late, but I was perusing through the topic and it cuaght my eye. Recently we did a story at the California Youth Athourity in Camarillo and interviewed a number of girls that were on the fire crews. At least with CYA, which staffs crews for CDF/Cal Fire, they explained to us that you were only eligible for the fire crew in the last two years of your sentence, and you had to have had a spotless record "inside" and maintain that spotless record while on the crew. One of the gals we interview, and she was a rather pretty gal, someone you never would think would be in jail, was in for murder (At age 13 none the less) and she was on the fire crew. There were a number of girls on the crew that were in for murder, ADW, viloent crimes.

go to lacountyfire.com and find the topic "Camp 9" lots of pictures of camp 9.



A number of LACoFD camps, like camp 9, are former USAF Nike Missle installations. Camp 9 for instance uses the old buildings that housed the USAF personell and has room for two landing areas for helicopters. The old missle silos are still ocated just outside of the camp and are still there.



Probably one of the best views in the fire service from up at Camp 9.

Weren't the Infrared Units already delivered? IIRC Master Body Works built them.
