Awesome Catches of some Fantastic Looking rigs especially That Pierce USAR 5 Heavy Rescue!👍👏

Love it!

[@robertkerner4833]

How is it that the fire station is a gated compound? Is the property part of the airport?

[@southlafirephotography]

No, but FS5 does serve LAX along with 95’s and 51’s.

It surprises me that other than USAR 88 there is no other fully staffed heavy rescue in LA. Using these USAR task forces just seems like a waste of resources,

[@southlafirephotography]

We have a “heavy rescue” at FS3, but it wouldn’t work as good for a cliff rescue as much as USARs do.
