New LAX Engine

Recommended Posts

If you're going to hotlink an image, please give credit to the original photographer, or at least the website where you got it from.

And just for info, this is one of the new Seagrave's LAFD got in the last budget purchase. Fire Station 51, based at Los Angeles International Airport, responds to all Fire and EMS calls within the terminal, parking structure, and LAX property with Engine 51 and Paramedic Rescue Ambulance 51. Fire Station 80, also at LAX, handles all Airport Crash Rescue calls and is equipped with the FOAM, CRASH, and Stair Chair units.

aha, they chose Seagrave. sure they look nice, but from what ive heard from some firemen, performance isnt all that great. it still is a nice engine, though.

shoulda stuck with Pierce.

This was part of the 25/25 split purchase of Seagraves and Pierces.... as for your comment, so far the Seagraves have been performing marvelously for the dept, whereas 9 of the first 12 Pierces had multiple electrical problems and were removed from service in Feb. As of August, all of the Pierces are finally back in service, though many reported mechanical issues such as head gasket leaks and other issues.

well the fireman i spoke to said "Well, the department in the town right next to mine has like the only Seagrave in the entire state (of Maine) and when it is working, it doesn't work very well. Something like electrical problems or whatever."

might be an old truck. but still should work
