    Kern County Fire Department, New Battalion 8.

    That would shift. It gets a little complicated with CAD. Useing battalion 5 as an example, if there is an expended wildland fire in the battalion, if they are going to replace battalion 5 the OT chief will become battalion 5 and then actual shift BC will bet listed as battalion 5 A B or C...

    Why is LACoFD mutual aid so awful?

    Kern County has a very good mutual aide with LACoFD. Even with all the resources they have in the AV and on the Grapevine Gorman area. They may not request help from some departments because they may not have an automatic aide agreement with the other agency. If there is not auto aide agreement...

    SDS100/SDS200: SDS100 Belt Clip

    As much as the SDS-100 costs, spend a little more money and buy a case from Scanner Masters. I like their nylon case better than the soft leather case.

    Disneyland Capacity Max

    Could go to the old Virgin Records where the In N Out is. Too bad they closed the HRO in Burbank when the pandemic hit in 2020.

    Disneyland Capacity Max

    I just miss the good old days when you scan the park. The first time I did it was in 1995. My Dad and I had went to a preview night for Indiana Jones Adventure. We got back to our room that night and I had my Pro-43 listening to all the problems they were having with the attraction. I think I...

    Disneyland Capacity Max

    When they added Galaxy’s Edge they took all the Circle D Ranch animals off site. So they have to bring in and take out the horses everyday. Might need contact with the each to let them know what is needed. Also some of their wear houses are also not on site.so they do need Togo farther than just...

    West Covina moving to Verdugo?

    Probably got a better contract from Verdugo. They will still get help from LACoFD when requested, it will just be the time for Verdugo to contact LA which they do for other departments already.

    Pomona PD

    It’s coming. I know we will be getting a new radio system here in Kern County in a few years. Also a lot of the Central Valley has found ways to work around the DOJ encryption policy.

    Fresno County public safety

    That’s great but, it is up to the radio companies on what and how long they want to support systems. They make more money on P25 and trunking than a no log systems. They are in the business to make money.

    Fresno County public safety

    It will happen some day when their current systems can no longer be repaired and replacement parts are hard to find. That is the reason Kern County is going to a new system. They can’t find parts anymore, not even on eBay.

    LACoFD Quints

    If it is a quint only station and there are no reserve quints available, they will run as a light force, a truck and an engine with the engine staffed with a OT Engineer. Things were so bad recently that Quint 33 was out of service and there were no reserve quints or trucks available so the were...
