So why don’t they(or maybe they do) just keep some older Engines that are past their frontline service life out on the island permanently so all of those crews have something to use when they get there. I know they will if needed use the marines hovercraft to get engines over there but why not just keep like a strike teams worth of engines just staged over there for this reason
I would assume for starters, its taking up too many resources, having a brush fire on Catalina is rare, at the LAcoFD station at Catalina they do have a brush engine and normal engine up there. Secondly, keeping older engines there wouldn't really make a difference, as said before Catalina does have a engine and brush engine. Lastly, having a brush strike team there positioned specifically at Catalina wouldn't make sense and would again also be wasting resources at that rate. Its easier to just have crews meet at the helipad to be airlifted for ground control, air support would also be easier.
Avalon has its own fire department, with I think 2 engines, and LACo.FD has 4 engines, plus two brush patrols. Its not really necessary to have more resources, honestly they would probably be fine if they took one engine off the island, but better safe than sorry.
LA County already spends 1.9 Billion dollars on their FD. In the rare instance that they would need to transport engines and other assets, it would be much more cost effective to contract with the experts, the Navy, rather than forming their own marine unit with associated costs, support, locations, manpower. Not unlike how they contract with other fire assets from other agencies, other states, the fed government, the military, private contractors, during most every modest size wildfire. LACoFD are experts in paying for fire fighting in LACo. I'm pretty sure they have considered, evaluated, experimented, and re-considered projects like the one you suggest. Even the Army and the Marines (MUCH larger organizations with much more frequent transport needs) rely on the Navy to transport their equipment and people. Imagine the costs for a much smaller organization, like the LACoFD.

5:57 “do you know what’s going on?” Well ma’am you’ll get a big hint if you look towards the island
Sweet catch of the code 3 landscaping unit.
In LA, drivers pull over for landscaper trucks, but not for fire trucks.
Wow ! Those were some epic catches ! Loved seeing the air units.
What a response. The helicopter footage was amazing. Great shots! 🚨🚑🚒⛑🚔🚁🌅

Avalon Fire Dept also serves Catalina

does anyone have the dispatch and radio traffic recorded?
No I don’t, my radio wasn’t working that day
Nice!
Nice
i never pay attention to the california wildfires im in ny so we dont get wildfire unless something crazy happens
Why are those engines so rare to see? Just not a lot of calls or what?
Yeah super slow houses
LACoFD, LA County Sheriff or the LA County should have their own ferry to transport emergency vehicles,

@@DrLumpyDMus Didn't they do a training exercise back in the 90s with them
@@DarkLink1996 There is a video of LA County having a training exercise with the Navy's Hovercraft I think it was 2011.
