Hello there! Very nice to see "Old Fire Station 4's" again! My dad(Jack D. Widner) was assigned at that station from 1969 - 1980. He then made Captain and went to Station 41 in West Hollywood. As a boy that station was a home away from home. It brought back a lot of memories. From the bay, to the handball courts.
Captain Trejo, and other LAFD members both civilian and sworn, blessings for your service...even, as the video shows, years past; from a grateful law enforcement officer.
It's funny you say that. I spoke with retired Chief Bill Bamattre while we wee doing this series and it was part of his original plan to keep all of the retired stations and use them for for other LAFD functions and even neighborhood walk-in centers where people could get blood pressure readings and things like that. Well, the fiscal crunch hit and that plan flew right out of the window. Sad but true!
Hi there! These are INDEED available. If you want more info, just send me an e-mail and I'll give you the details to get these and the rest of the series we have so far!
Why do a lot of these big city American departments (LA/NY/Chicago) all have old dilapidated and falling apart fire houses? Why is their fiscal management so bad?

I really enjoyed these videos of Fire Station 4. This was my first engine house right out of the academy in 1969.

2 years after this video, they moved the truck, pump and squad to Fire Station 21 in South Los Angeles.
super Respect!
You guys should really put these videos on DVD and sell them.
I was a explorer at 4s, I use to ride the squad a lot
No, this station was not. The station that appeared in E! was a L.A. County station. It's LACoFD 127 in Carson.

1:01 I didn't know that engine 404 had a Q siren.
Is Woody Harrison the narrator?
Do you have a copy of class 17?
is that one of the stations from the show Emergency?
JGB23 no, that would be LACoFD 127
I think it was in the pilot. Jonny Gage was a rescueman there prior to being selected for Paramedic training on the program.
@@kekelaward No, that was L.A. County Station 8 in West Hollywood, which is still standing and in service.
Sad.
