I just started to listen to LAFD Rescue/Medic etc there seems to be different types of Medic units like life force . Could u help me out by explaining the different types of radio designators used for Medic/Rescue rigs. Got Fire figured out. Thanks from Colorado
LAFD Rescue/Ambulance Designation's

Life force is actually Light force
A Light force is an engine and truck that go every where together. They are never broken up.
800 ambulances are Basic life support for minor injuries and medical calls
Non 800 numbers are for Advanced life support ambulances for the more serious medical need calls.

Thank you for posting the link
Also: 900 series are BLS ambulances as well, for fire station numbers greater than 100 (for example, the BLS ambulance at station 103 would be called Rescue 903)
