I dont think this mod is dead, its that Freakinmusket is in the middle of collage finals along with work so he has had very little time to work on it.

Either in the year 2013 or 2014 Ford US will start makeing the European transit chassis for ambulances in which AMR is looking to go to back Ford if this does happen. As of this moment new 2012 type IIs are on the dodge/mercedes sprinter chassis. I have seen the transist ambulance in spain but never had the chance to see the interior of one nor see how it handles. Any of you guys from Europe that work of a ford transit can you please tell me how they handle and how is it to work in one i.e. headroom/ workroom?

Fire Captain David Bailey The Los Angeles County Fire Department family is mourning the loss of one of our own this week – Fire Captain David Bailey who sadly passed away on April 3 while in the performance of his duties. Bailey, 50, suffered a cardiac arrest at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday while engaged in physical fitness activities at his work location of Camp 14 in Santa Clarita. Bailey's enthusiasm for his work, as well as his attention to detail, was well-known among those he worked with. "Dave was a great guy to be around," says Assistant Fire Chief Gerald Cosey of Division V. "He was full of energy and liked to handle business." An 18-year member of our Department, Bailey was actively involved in the Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) and Hazmat communities. In fact, as the Red Team Hazmat Manager on our Department's California Task Force 2 (CA-TF2) team that provides search and rescue support to national and international disasters, Bailey was an integral part of the team's deployments to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the Japan Earthquake/Tsunami in 2011. "He was a multi-talented guy," says Battalion Chief Larry Collins, who worked with Bailey on these deployments. "He was a very well-rounded firefighter who had a lot of specialty skills and did them all well. He always had a great outlook and attitude. He really loved his work; for him, it was an adventure every day." Agrees Battalion Chief Patrick Rohaley, another CA-TF2 member, "Dave always had a great attitude. He made sure that when we did something we did it right and to the best of our abilities. He contributed greatly to the team both on deployments and here at home in maintaining our readiness in activities." This sudden and tragic loss of a valued and respected member of our Department has triggered an outpouring of support from the fire agency community, as well as the public. After Bailey's untimely passing was announced on our Department's Facebook and Twitter sites, condolences immediately began popping up from members of the online community. "Our sincere condolences to the family of Captain David Bailey and the Los Angeles County Fire Department," wrote the Monterey County Fire Training Officers Association. "Rest easy, brother. Prayers to the Bailey family and to the LACoFD," posted one resident. "Thank you for your service. Rest in peace, sir," wrote another. Bailey lived in Acton and is survived by his wife, Lisa. They have no children http://fire.lacounty.gov/FD_rtls/home_story41-1.asp

On Wednesday December 14th a fuel tanker full of gasoline caught fire and closed a major freeway as well as an overpass. Only one Injury to a Montabello fire captin who has been released from the hospital. There were over 200 firefighters on scene, Hazmat and 2 foam units as well.

Burger King has more of a patty than the paper thin ones from McDonald's and for Burger Ranch they are not in Los Angeles In-n-out is beat by Five Guys on freshness

Any way Spanish firefighters are some of the coolest guys I talked two even considering what they have to work with.

Just got back from Spain and I want to know why the units in the big cities like Barcelona and Madrid had posters and graffiti on them?

LACoFD is replacing all the in-service Fords with the the Dodges. The squads, patrols, and the utility trucks are being replaced with the dodges and the fords are going into reserve pool. I know this because I have spoken to a firefighter from Station 33 which has had all their vehicles replaced with newer ones even their helicopter.

How come there is not a both because LASD has Deputy Sheriff paramedics?

Is there still going to be CHP because I am starting to notice them a lot more off the freeways now doing LAPD's & LASD's job

What Freakinmusket should do is reskin the USFS engines to the OES type III engines.

REMEMBER 343!!!!!!!!!!!

Freakinmusket If you are going to reskin the ambulances than use McCormick because AMR sorry EMSC bought out care ambulance a couple months ago and the change will happen at the end of this year.

My Academy's 24 hour shift. Its what we do to test and apply all the skills we have learned. http://s928.photobuc...2024hr%20shift/

No need to be sorry it was just a question and thank you for the answer.

I have no problem with that. One thing are you going to make boat 110 than?

Wouldn't b e easier to make the foam truck that 73 has because the mod already has a truck like it all you really need to do is reskin it?

wow, that station is just up the street from me and I haven't seen it yet.

you read my mind 149 in Castaic has one too.

Over here in LA County we are still getting rain in late April but that means that next year there will be a lot of major Brush Fires during Fire season. The latest one, Crown Fire: 14,000 acres (57 km2) burned, 2000 homes evacuated. For the first time ever LACoFD called in the 747 supertanker.

True thank you for correcting me, but the oil pumping station is required by NFPA, LACoFD, and other laws, say that they have to have Oil Firefighting equipment on site in case anything goes wrong. Go watch Modern Marvels-Oil Fire Fighting and Hellfighters (1968) they will explain more.

Yes it has changed, County fire paramedics on an engine, squad, EST, truck can leave if AMR can handle. This happens more in Santa Clarita more than any were else in LA County due to AMR quick response time where assessment/treatment has already started and/or almost finished also if their is enough paramedics on scene but this is rare and only happens if the CES team has nothing to do. right now AMR BLS units are used more for IFT'S than anything else. More ALS units are being put in the field for 911 calls these days because paramedics can due more than emt's if some thing goes south on the patient. For your next question its supply and demand if there are not enough squads to go around than AMR can call off-duty paramedics to come in and grab a rig and head out as an RA which in county ems' eyes can operate a squad and transport at the same time. But this does not happen a lot. Billing is different if an BLS rig has a BLS call than its billed as a BLS call and its an ALS rig on a ALS call than its billed as an ALS call, now if Its a ALS rig on a BLS call no matter if county fire is there or not its is billed as BLS call. Hope this answers your questions. I think I can help you on this one. Most of the battalions have 1 CAFS pumper in it and the pumper that is chosen to have a CAFS put on it is because the buildings in its area. For example LACoFD station 126 has a CAFS pumper because its next to the Santa Clarita mall and who knows what a mall has that can burn. Also 126 is a mile away from a chlorine production plant and has it for that reason too. Thats also why station 73 has a foam tender there.

LACoFD is one of the best in the nation at what they do. From fighting a house fire one minute to a major wildfire the next and than after that bringing someone back to life during a full arrest. LACoFD also has it share of not normal calls like a person's hand stuck in a pickle jar to a tunnel fire that reached 10,000 degrees (as hot as the surface of the sun).

First of all AMR staffs and runs ALS units for 911 calls because of a little storm a couple years ago that had all the LACOFD squads tied up in north LA County and had LA City RA's running through out Santa Clarita as squads. After that LA County EMS sat down and said that a private ambulance company that is Licensed to run ALS calls can run ALS calls. The only ALS rigs that is dedicated to IFT's (inter-facility transports) are the CCT(Critical Care Transport) rigs which staff 2 EMT's and 1 RN. In fact there was a call during the April storms of 2010 that was in Lake LA and there were no LACOFD squads available for the next 30 minutes. So AMR sent an ALS rig out of Palmdale that just got off a call to the address in Lake LA and made it under 15 minutes. I cannot say what the injures or age of the patient due to patient-confidentiality laws but I can say that this type of call happens anytime there is severe weather. One last thing is that LACOFD can leave any medical call in the hands of an AMR ALS rig only. This is why AMR ALS units are not only for inter-facility transports in fact BLS units take more IFT's than ALS units.
