Default Lost Acres Fire Department Unit Numbers

Does anybody know the correlation between the LA unit numbers and the actual vehicle? They have a list of the apparatus they use on the FD webpage on the Granby website but there are no unit numbers listed as you would find for most FD's.

Jacob, I know they usually hit lot of the local parades up that way. If you search the buff-sites for pictures, you ma be able to pick up a rig or two's number. They're web page doesn't give out much and there are really no buff sites that have a lot of info on them. Even try posting on the CTFire board to see if anyone has any info you are looking for. I beleive there are a few from L.A.F.D. on there.

I don't think I even knew that there was a fire dept by that name in CT, it is also interesting to see their initials, LAFD.
