Does LACoFD have a large bus? I was watching a video and I noticed a large bus in the background labeled Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Yeah quite a few of them are at LAO (headquarters) for the explorers to use.

Check out this from the LAFD website. The areas where there are a lack of stations are either mountain ranges or not city. How would an ambulance bassically making right turns every few intersections around and around and around a fire station help response times at all?

Thats a bit harsh when educating people. Excuse me for not being familiar with the geographic location of every station in LA.

Whats the usual first due response for a structure fire in terms of trucks? A lightforce and an extra engine for example?

To take a page from MikeyPI's handbook, if you don't like the answers, don't ask the questions. I'm not your mother, your kindergarten teacher, your professor, or your counselor. I don't get paid, and I'm not here to make friends or coddle you.

A question was asked, and an informed answer was given. I didn't curse, I didn't belittle, nor did I avoid the question with a smart ass reply like "Duh!" If you can't handle blunt answers when i'm answering 4 pages of questions, well, no one says you have to ask, nor read.

Depends on the type of structure, basic single fam dwelling residential:

4 Companies including the nearest light force.

- (can be 2 engines, 2 lfs, 1 engine, 3 lfs, 4 lfs, 3 engines, 1 lf depending on availability, typically 3E & 1 LF or 1 TF and 2E)

2 LAFD Rescue Ambulances

- 1 PM 1 800 usually

1 EMS Battalion Captain (medical unit leader)

1 Battalion Chief Officer Command Team (bc and his staff assistant).

Additional units are requested as needed by their designation, not by "alarms"

You could say thats a page out of my handbook as well. Sounds like a quote out of some of my posts.

Seemed smart ass considering the context; Surely you know the old saying, Its not what you say but how. For example,

Smart:

How would an ambulance bassically making right turns every few intersections around and around and around a fire station help response times at all?

Blunt:

An ambulance bassically making right turns every few intersections around and around and around a fire station would not help response times at all.

Thanks none the less.

GerardTill asked whether or not LAFD Engine 60 was totaled during the sink hole incident

http://www.flickr.com/photos/lafd/3903041582/

Last time I heard anything about it, it was still being decided. The guys at the shops have done some amazing recoveries, including 1 engine that was completely burned over and 1 that rolled over after being struck by a drunk driver, but I have a feeling this will be a complete loss.

What type make/model of handhelds are most common for emergency services in LA? What system type are you guys using?

There are 88 cities in Los Angeles County with over 65% of the county unincorporated. The answers to both questions can be easily found by googling and checking http://radioreference.com/

[Xplorer4x4]

Well I meant LA City, not city and county, but I will see what I can dig up. Just didnt seem like something that would be found with a google search.

Dja hear about the FF who got a skull fracture at a water main break in Culver City?

Mike;

I need to be sure if my LAPD units are realistic.

in your opinion, is the Corner LEDs, and Arjent/LAPD units realistic? Watch Full Screen for a better view.

Hey Mike

You got some pictures of the LASD County Jail Transport bus:

If you got any I would like to see a bit closer on it as I seem it as one of my favorite emergency vehicles from the area nearby LA

Thanks in advance

Lasse

Mike, is 88's USAR the only rig staffed each shift? I read somewhere that 88's is the only USAR staffed All the other USAR rigs are cross staffed with an 800 or something.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I want to built a TECH station. I'm using the training mission 2 building to store 2 vehicles and props. Outside will be a bulldozer. How do I do all the scripts and whatnot so that they can spawn and go to the scene and come back to the station? If you don't get what I mean here's some pics:

(#1, Outside)

(#2, Inside)

Isn't this topic about question to do with LA emergency units, not game questions?

Or is it for both?

[racer123246]

I don't know, but I am using LA MOD to make the station, so technically I should be allowed to ask.

[billyfromhill]

You can ask, just not in this topic. This topic is reserved for asking questions about LA emergency services.

[racer123246]

Oh.... My bad... Where should my post be then?

You should post a new topic in LA mod, Alterations.

What land units do USCG use?
