- Ride along in the middle of the night in West Hollywood with squad 8 from the Los Angeles County Fire Department. Fire station 8 has a small 1st due are so that most of the calls are very close to the fire house. Station 8 houses 4 vehicles with 3 of them being parked in a row in one bay. So depending on the call the crew may need to shuffle by getting out some trucks before the dispatched unit(s) can leave the station. LACoFD always responds to medical calls with both the nearest squad and engine. The transport is being operated by private ambulance companies //

I saw Squad 8 responding to a Call when I was in (WeHo) LA for the first time in May 2010. It was awesome to finally see LACoFD and the squad in action, especially after watching Emergency! since I was in kindergarten. I love they are driving Manual Transmission - Great stuff - Please keep doing it! I really appreciate the time you take to do these videos!
give this man a medal!
Cool Video, How Do You Ride Along With So Many Agency's. Do They Let You Spend The Night In The Station?
I understand some stations need to keep more than 1 unit in the same bay .But what I don't understand is since ems calls out number the calls a engine responds to is like 3 to 1 why wouldn't the squad be in front instead the back of the engine
Yeah, I think the 1970-71 Dodge Squads were stick shifts too. The "Squad 10" in the pilot also had leaf springs and a solid I-beam front axle.
I read the TV "Squad 51' front end didn't hold up too well with A-frames and coil springs.
That is so cool!
The person they responded to first was probably thinking, "Oh I hope they don't take to long to get here, please don't take long." 1 min later. "Oh joy they're here."
Wow, a municipal vehicle in the United States with a standard transmission? Unbelievable.
The second call seemed to be really close to the station and the Paramedic driving the squad didn't seem to know where he was going. That was also the slowest emergency call I've ever seen. Code 3, anybody?
Mitch Mulcahy I agree. he really should have just followed the engine or the mccormick ambulance if it was that hard to find the location.
@jazzbutterworth by sebding the engine and the squad you get more options to choose from when it comes to whatever type of call it is because the engine and the squad have different supplies and tools. Better to be safe then sorry.
Where can i find these tones
that's where FF/PM John Gage was at in the episode of Emergency. KMG 365
emergency! needs todo a tv movie reunion let john and roy ride in a new squad like this
Yep, sometimes LAFD arrives before LACoFD.
Does L.A. City Fire Department sometime assist L.A. County Fire Dept in West Hollywood? Thank-You
Yes they do, LAFD has stations in neighboring North Hollywood, thus sometimes providing assistance when needed.
Anybody know the tone out code for Station 30 and 35 ?
One broken light on the lightbar?
@TheRobert2254 They are. check out the lacountyfiremuseum website there having a reunion at La County Station 127, Station 51 in Emergency, and theyll have E51s and S51 as well as the new squads.
Are all of their squads manual shift? It's pretty uncommon for any emergency vehicle to be standard, especially in large fleets.
They have a decommissioned one for sale but I can’t drive stick sadly
@Rubes2525
lol, there is also an inside view FDNY video where he's talking to the chief of french and german drivers ^^
@bonzty He's there to let the driver know the squad is able to pull out and if needed back in again. As for getting a bigger station. I don't think the properties around the station would be to happy if one day LAFD takes out their walls and say you gotta leave we're making room. K thanks, bye. Building a entire new one would be extremely expensive and lets face it. It's LA, where would they put it since the stations are placed specifically in strategic positions.
ikr!!!!
worlds longest responce. all 15 seconds. lol
worlds longest responce time for the first call. all 15 seconds. lol
The call was right by the station and it took 6.5 mins
Oh never mind it took like 2:30
What's the deal with the guy standing on the rear of the engine?
+Chris Dix To tell the Engine that has to pull out when to pull back in
They get to jam to tunes while enroute to Emergency Calls.
HEY YAHH!
why is there a man driving on the back of the engine, isnt that dangerous if they drive through a hole or something?
Why the man on the back of the engine like that?
That was nearby the station
At the beginning they drove, like 5 seconds away from the station. I don't see any point in that. :P
I meant to say John Gage's first station.
Way to wait for the glow plugs to warm up
Squad 8 KMG 356
Home to the piolt or Lacounty station 10
@Unhostile Not To Be Rude But How Else Would They Get There!? It Doesn't Matter If It Is 1 Minute, 2 Minutes Nor 3 . They Have To Take There Trucks..... Just Saying Like What's THe Point Of You Commenting Saying That... ?
Longest response time ever.
they have to drive other trucks out if they need a special one?? thats bullshit, why dont they get a bigger house?
@MS2MAN I found that comment rude even if it wasn't intended on being rude, but it was just a simple opinion....
Rampat base this is rescue 8
rempart this is squad 8
Squad Needs New LightBar Maybe LED Unless All Squads In LACoFD Use Strobes
0:00
Seriously, I don't see why they need to send engine AND squad for ems. I figure it would be just like Syracuse. Send the squad so as to cut down on fuel costs and such. But here, we wend... both???? Maybe if the squad requested but...
LACoFD policy requires a captain to be on scene for supervision. Presumably, they got sued for something in the past that the chiefs thought would have been prevented if an officer were present.
Druid K Junior Just say someone refused medical care but the Squad paramedics treated them. Not only doctors get sued but the paramedics will because they transported the person and treated them to the hospital. Squads do carry paramedics but no PIC (person in command). Sometimes they send engines for man power like lifting heavy persons or tough medical calls that need for people. Captains are there to supervise them and make sure they don't get sued or and command engine to help them and things like that.
