Clip 1: Old Engine 100 responding to a BLS phycological rescue at Ardmore Ave and 16th St.
Clip 2: New Engine 100 & Squad 100 responding to an ALS Injury at The Fusion Academy of the South Bay on Pacific Coast Highway.
Clip 3: Lifeguard Rescue 100 (Reserve) responding to a medical emergency at Tower 54 Dockweiler State Beach with Lifeguard Area Captain 17 & Lifeguard 172.
Note: The new engine at Station 100 was Hermosa Beach Fire Department’s frontline engine, when the Hermosa Beach Fire Department was disbanded on January 1st, 2018 the engine was absorbed by LACoFD and had to be outfitted with LA County decals and equipment before it could be ready for frontline status.

I'm liking that paint scheme on E100
Amazing catches! Love the lifeguard unit
NorCal Fire Buff109, it was really fun to catch our first lifeguard unit!
@@310fire What were the girls bitching about at the end of the video? The kept asking "What the f**k are you doing?". Was that directed at you?
Awesome catches!! The lifeguard is amazing!!
Thanks, Emergency Response Videos hopefully we will have the opportunity to catch more lifeguard units in the near future!
Does anyone know what happened to all of Hermosa's reserves?
what kind of new engine 100 do you call that? first time i've seen a LA engine like that
Its a Pierce PUC Velocity. It was a Hermosa Beach Engine before the county took them over. Ironically they had just ordered it the year before so it was pretty new. My Guess LA county just kept it for that reason or maybe even a test bed for a future spec.
cheerwrest they keep any absorbed apparatus as a frontline if it is newer than any practical replacements. They almost always use the previous apparatus if possible and then replace it with one of their own spec when it ages out
I wonder why they didn't throw on an EQ2B on E100 since it's standard to have a Q on LA County Engines.
Looks like Engine 100's old truck probably replaced another 1998 KME.
John Schuster negative it became E5100
West LA Response Videos now I can see why @ 0:25, timing belt wasn't doing well, and looks this truck actually replaced a Pierce Arrow instead.
I'm guessing the ambo got sold to Either CARE Ambulance or McCormick Ambulance.
Thats negative, the rescue was absorbed by LACoFD.
SoCal EmergencyResponse what will they use for then? Utility truck?
Its outfitted with decals 902
SoCal EmergencyResponse maybe a Rehabilitation unit.
Maybe another Mobile Aid that'll sit in a station and never be used like 4182 if I have the number correct
No reason for siren to be on in the lifeguard truck on an empty beach
Maybe some people can't see a pickup coming at them and need a siren
That’s a cool catch
Why’d Hermosa fold?
It’s too costly for cities with a single fire station. HBFD was understaffed and was always requesting mutual aid. LACoFD is cheaper and provides a higher level of service to Hermosa with their large array of resources.
SoCal EmergencyResponse I can see how cheap LACOFD is, they didn't even bother repainting the truck into the standard LACOFD paint job.
John Schuster Why bother taking a rig out of service for a few weeks to paint it? Current paint scheme fights fire just as well
Lancaster Responding well it's kinda untradiational for La County to have that paint scheme
Do you know if El Segundo or Manhattan Beach might be next?
What is a lifeguard rescue truck and what’s it capable of handling? Emt or Paramedic staffed?
LACoFD Lifeguards are EMT Basics. The only exception being Baywatch Avalon and Baywatch Isthmus on Catalina Island. Those are all Paramedics and trained in underwater recovery(dive team), high angle rope rescue, marine firefighting and boat rescue. The trucks in this video are equipped with EMS bags, backboards, O2, various water rescue equipment, ropes, etc. The Catalina Baywatch have a Squad similar to a brush patrol unit with LACoFD in Avalon and a type 1 ambulance in Two Harbors(Isthmus). They also use 32-foot boats at both locations.

LA County's new Engine 100 has a different paint scheme from any other LA County unit I've ever seen. Why's that?
They adopted the paint scheme from Hermosa. This was Hermosa’s rig, and the county changed the decals and equipment.
SoCal EmergencyResponse does his mean after the KME purchase, will they change the paint job?
@@emvvehicles_8 Unlikely a change on the paint job. They probably just decided it wasnt worth repainting it.
Didn't they have the old 127?
Hard to believe that the City of Hermosa Beach 🏖 disbanded their fire department and contracted with LACoFD. Do you happen to know what brought that on??
Christopher Cotton small departments usually don’t succeed. Hermosa firefighters were overworked, underfunded and required too many delayed mutual aids. Much smarter to go with county.
The city was going to incur a budget deficit of over $10 million with the department due to mainly the fire station being condemned. They were working out of portable buildings. Apparently the station suffered extensive termite damage due to years of neglect. Their department had 15 firefighters and they were all absorbed by LACoFD and their EMS turned over via contract to McCormick Ambulance. In the long run the city gets a county funded new fire station, much better trained staff, access to the county's expansive firefighting expertise/equipment and quicker mutual aid. After 10 years, should the city decide it wants to go back in-house, they get to keep the new station and new apparatus. Win-win for the city.
Maybe if He chief is impressed with this rig, maybe they'll switch to Pierce Velocity's!
John Schuster, that would be a massive change for the County, and I can’t see that happening anytime soon.
SoCal EmergencyResponse they did buy from Pierce at one time, they could do it again.
@@emvvehicles_8 Rumor has it REV is trying to faze out the KME Brand and just go with Ferrara and their E-One Brand names they just laid off 100 KME Employees. So anything is possible now days. I doubt the PUC design would ever catch on but I could see them going with another brand in the same design they use.
Cool
Thank you Luis Amado!
0:43 Gorgeous apparatus, E100! Beautiful Pierce! I’d say it’s probably an Impel, but it might be a Velocity. I believe Hermosa Beach’s reserves became LA County reserves.
At least 100 has a Q now. It does a lot more justice than that electronic siren it had originally.
I’m not crazy about new E100, I prefer the older KME E100. Although if they put the regular LA.Co.FD paint scheme on the new E100, I’m sure it’ll look amazing. Just my opinion.
Yeah Fred___ __55, I was not crazy about it in the beginning either but, it has started to grow on me.
SoCal EmergencyResponse I guess we have a new nickname for the old HBFD rig, “The Perfect Score”.
