    @jazzbutterworth 12 лет назад +5

    Lightforce is an engine & ladder that always respond together. There's a separate engine that responds by itself. It takes the bulk of the calls. Lightforce usually only responds if the "stand alone" engine is out, or a ladder is needed.

They made you maneuver an emergency vehicle in ways that just seem unnatural haha.

    It's got something to do with Task Forces as a whole. The staffed engine in the task force, in this case Engine 27, would pull right up to the fire with the truck. Then Engine 227, the second engine, would make the hydrant. I'm really sure on the whole thing but that's what I can gather.

    I'd say more than likely, all that traffic was leaving from Hollywood Bowl. That outdoor amphitheater holds just over 18,000 people hence all the cars and buses. That is a very difficult place to get away from after the concerts are over. Been there, done that.

    Truck 27....puts the hood ornament on the centre yellow line ! Exactly what I do ! They'll move, no worries brother !!! That engine is my second favorite body structure built. The only one I like better, is the one with the open back jumpseats. Two of them. A few minor issues : hot in the summer, transmission in center of partner and I. Nighttime runs, red emergency lights in your face if you're standing up facing forward. If it's raining, you're soaked. Snowing, you're a snowman ! All in all, I like it. Today's style, terrible. Sure. More functional. More room. I also like the seats facing where I came from, not where I'm going :-) Then there's the bay doors, lol. Auto, yes please ! One guy closes then hops on rig, no thanks !! One night, new kid, door kept opening, I forgot About the sensor, lol. I had to learn fast ! Learn how to get SCBA on alot fastr than I was.

    I dont know how this works but after the person becomes a official member of the LAFD, do they have to take some kind of a driving test probably using these excact engines so that they can be the one who gets behind the wheel of the engine, if so, I must say I bet thats one of the hardest behind the wheel tests that there is, this kind of driving, driving the wrong way in VERY heavy traffic is one of the hardest things to do.....

    @FloCp3 Whats wrong with your fire department for not sending one? Kidding, but seriously, it's just their Standard Operation procedure. The ladder carries equipment to open the elevator, and the engine and ladder go everywhere together, so that if another call comes in, they can go together, and it's good to have extra manpower at any rescue.

    It's the ISO(Insurance Safety Office) Class rating. At one point LAFD lost their Class 1 rating, but I think they gained it back. More info see iso.com

    So when a light force is dispatched, do the the two of from the truck move over to the pumper?

      I think the truck has 5, and the 200 series pumper has one or two.

    Damn that traffic is crazy lmaoo but wonderful job done to the firefighters! In my city here in CA we don't necessarily have a problem getting through traffic to stop for EMS. I also dislike those people who never stop for EMS personnel it is so rude. My city doesn't have a lot of police which sucks. We have a population of 44k people with one PD station and about less than 15 police probably.
