Based on the shifting I hear, it sure seems like a standard transmission. If such a position were open and I were fully qualified, I'd jump on that position!
Designed for emergency recovery to aid in extrication, heavy overhaul operations, move highway barriers and such. Instead of waiting for a wrecker backed up in traffic, plus the additional cost. Would love to see a fully operational rotator rescue with all your standard heavy rescue equipment as well. Can be a great tool for many things. Fortunately our local towing and recovery company have a brand new rotator. They're kind of like the jamie Davis around here. Except they do have heavy competition with a couple other companies with similar equipment
fillup316 most trucks are standard transmission because it helps on hills some have automatic but the standard is mostly the basic for trucks of that size
Several things. Their mission is heavy rescue. They do heavy lifting and shoring. They also used to tow their own disabled rigs but I don't know if that is still the case.
this is not a tow truck, it does not tow. the boom is for pulling vehicles out of sinkholes, or flipping overturned vehicles and for other various rescue operations.
What you are describing is a Tow Truck, so WHY does LAFD have their own tow truck, instead of calling in private tow companies to flip overturned vehicles like other Fire Departments do ?? Heh, I'm curious....
Many other departments have their own heavy lift rescues. This isn't a "tow" truck. Tow truck operators are not trained in Rescues Systems. This rig is also used in building collapses, industrial accidents and the like.
they didn't get rid of it, they just relocated it to Station 3. since there's only 1 heavy rescue in the city, it makes since to have it centrally located, Station 3 is perfect for that
Frank's is LAFD's training center and the naval & marine corps reserve center. LAPD does some stuff there too sometimes but their academy is close to this location.
It's a tow truck owned and operated by LA city Fire and used for heavy rescue situations not for Towing so basically it's a fire truck with a tow truck attachment on the back
One firefighter driving and operating a heavy rescue 3 wrecker. Kudos for him with balls of steel.
can't believe there's a fire truck/heavy wrecker combo. wonder if it's a standard transmission.

FYI LAFD/LACFD have had heavy tow trucks for years.
Yes it is i drove it the at the place it was built

you should try to get a ride along on that heavy rescue
it's a crew cab, there's only two seats and it's staffed with two firefighters
FB1 Response Videos wouldn't that be called a day cab or a regular cab?
Robby Herrick i meant to say day cab lol
@@FB1ResponseVideos how is it a crew cab if it has only 2 doors like a standard cab on a pickup?
I'll do it
This truck picks up anything that's heavy like big trucks animals and other heavy stuff
wow! their own 50 ton rotator, that is impressive!
yup, it's even more impressive in person! thanks for watching.
Very nice catches!
thanks
Amazing catches!
nice catch
That's why i here no more Heavy rescue 56 on the Scanner...... thanks for the info...... looks like HR 3 is a new Rig
yep! and yes, this new rig came while it was still at 56's but was quickly relocated to Station 3
I need to flatten all emergency vehicles in the scrapyard.
Nice catch and nice truck and ambulance unit as well .thanks for posting. Tony j. Indianapolis
I have only seen that kind heavy-duty trucks, once....long time ago in Baltimore,MARYLAND.
Awesome! Catch

Your welcome!
Noice catch brother nice I'm jealous
thanks for watching
FB1 Response Videos is that an automatic or a manual
hey guys . I'm actually trying to find out what these our used for ?
Several things. Their mission is heavy rescue. They do heavy lifting and shoring. They also used to tow their own disabled rigs but I don't know if that is still the case.
It's a stick not automatic
Nvere see Heavy Rescue 3 & Rescue befor
R01s. Ftc😈qqesgi0zwmszkd÷$×÷(# ×"#💋💅💗mariõ1😵xenemlz
looks like old HR150 from highway through hell
Hr-150 was larger. It had a larger cab (two rows of seating) and it was a triple-axle.
Jamie's rotator was much larger. Hes 100% based back in hope now and moved operations out of alberta
And now it's in Canada
Okay what is it with CA and the steady burn? They have one light in the lightbar and one in the grill. I don't get it.
there's no steady burn in the grill, there are a few in the light bar.
State law requires at least one steady burning forward facing light when responding code 3.
No. It's a manual.
Why does the Fire Dept have a Tow Truck ??
this is not a tow truck, it does not tow. the boom is for pulling vehicles out of sinkholes, or flipping overturned vehicles and for other various rescue operations.

Thomas J Sanford This does not haul anything. This is used a crane for heavy rescue and urban search & rescue operations.
why they get rid of HR56
they didn't get rid of it, they just relocated it to Station 3. since there's only 1 heavy rescue in the city, it makes since to have it centrally located, Station 3 is perfect for that
Where was HR3 responding from?
frank hotchkin memorial training center by the dodger's stadium
WHATS WITH THE MARINE CORPS/NAVY SIGN?
Frank's is LAFD's training center and the naval & marine corps reserve center. LAPD does some stuff there too sometimes but their academy is close to this location.
got ya
what happened to HR56
they relocated it to Station 3, it's centrally located compared to Station 56 considering it's the only one in the city.
And the original HR56 sold to a Canadian company where the owner was actually a firefighter himself.
The first truck Is diesel as sh*t
WTF ! On a slow ass wrecker !
i was surprised at how slow it moved too but it's super heavy
really its a tow truck lol
it’s not
Actually a rotator aka a quick response mobile crane with towing capabilities.
Why does that tow truck have a red light and a siren where I live at tow truck don't have red light and a siren just have amber light
this is not a tow truck.
Looks like a tow truck to me

mgp870 you're absolutely right heavy rescue 3 belongs to lafd and heavy rescue 103 belongs to Lacofd
you live in Hooterville, that's why
oooo!:D
