They have been in service since last summer. 77’s runs 477 all the time up on the grapevine.
LACoFD history, in the past when they had Type 3’s they were the 400 series engine, like the 2nd engine was 200 series. So they add a 4 in front of the station number with the Type 3’s. Other than 55 on Catalina LACoFD did not have any other Type 3’s of their own. They also have 5 OES Type 3’s. When they go out they are cross staffed by the regular engine crews.I wonder if they staff with 4 or 5 firefighters. I also wonder about the logic of the number series. There doesn't seem to be any digit that refers to the engine type of 3.
Are you sure LACoFD has 5 OES Type 3's??? If so, what stations are they located at? LAFD happens to have 5 OES Type 3 Engines (OES 8136C, 8137C, 8138C, 8139C, and 8140C).LACoFD history, in the past when they had Type 3’s they were the 400 series engine, like the 2nd engine was 200 series.

The "4 Series" Engines are staffed as what's called "Crew Staffed". Based on need. They sit not staffed in a station alongside a conventional Engine. The "4 Series" Engine is not first out. It is only first out when determined that its use is optimal in the "Wildland fire/Urban Interface". As shown in the preceding video using Station 132 as an example. Engine 132 is "first-out" and Engine 4132 is staffed by the same crew as Engine 132. That crew would grab 4132 as needed based on location, terrain, etc.
Stations 44, 77, 85, 125, 132, and 143Is there a current list of where the six new Type IIIs are / will be located?
Got that, any idea what LACoFD stations these are assigned to ?California Professional Firefighters
