Let's hope they can recover fast from the May 01, 2024 fire. Thinking of you from Melbourne, Australia.

[@NormanSilver]

I can remember when this station was one of the Huntington Park FD stations. Remember John Harris?

[@davidpayne4315]

[@bentleyreade9971]

[@reverse7933]

I think 9's is out of 16's right? and thank u all my dad is a firefighter at 165's right down the road from 164's

[@Channel51_LA]

Yep. They renumbered Engine 216 to Engine 9 in honor of Jimmy Howe who served on Engine 9, since Engine 216 covers 9's old district.

I Believe My Brother in Law Battalion Chief Carl Flores was a Paramedic there, Years Back.

[@jdskefg8390]

My uncle is an Engineer at that station.

[@ezbrony9050]

Battalion 13 was in the tv show emergency!

[@randymcnary308]

Which is interesting considering the station that was actually used in Emergency (127) was not in B-13

[@Heart723NTDV]

@@randymcnary308 Correct, it was in Battalion 7.

[@emt5330]

I think that was B 14

[@douglasnorby4006]

They’ll rebuild..

[@ethanregan2660]

[@sault9770]

[@maxhallman1036]

Yep

[@bentleyreade9971]

It’s an old station

[@bballplyrrefgmail]

The caps make them look a bit Busch league

[@buzman1985]

Captain’s helmet is the wrong color.

[@jimfitz1432]

I agree ...what color should we make it ?

[@buzman1985]

James Fitzgerald RED.

[@stevencarrier2466]

For some reason, in the LA City FD and the LA County FD, Fire Captain helmets are more of an orange color than truly red.

[@emt5330]

​@stevencarrier2466 which matches the reddish orange color of county apparatus

[@mattp4007]

Not fun working in a battalion house
