LA 100 Fire Trucks Out of Service for Repairs, but Money for an Electric Fire Truck
No less than criminal one must conclude after seeing the interview of Fire Chief Crowley on CNN. No money to maintain over 100 fire trucks, but money for an electric fire truck you will learn. The first in the nation, they exclaim.
Breathtaking, the lack of concern for people and property. We hear that the Firemen from Mexico have arrived. Where are the federal forces that fight our national fires? Those tankers who are used during the fire season throughout the west? Are you telling me there are only two tanker planes, one of which has been down for most of the fire?
Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley confirmed that more than 100 fire trucks — over half the fleet — were in need of repairs and out of commission due to budget cuts when wildfires ravaged the area this week.
Crowley made the comments in an interview with CNN on Saturday, one day after asserting the city failed the department she commands, saying budget cuts eliminated civilian positions, like mechanics, that led to the trucks sitting idly in a parking lot.
The LAFD fleet has 183 fire trucks, the Daily Mail reported.
LA Fire Chief is going down swinging. Bass is in deep trouble.

LAFD– Electric Pumper
The Rosenbauer RTX that rolled into Hollywood’s Station 82 is the first fully electric pumper — meaning it has hoses, pumps, and water tanks onboard — in North America. The short ranges that emergency vehicles travel in cities make them especially well-suited to electrification, but there’s a diesel range-extender onboard that can charge the battery for backup during longer calls.
It’s an important first from a noise and emissions perspective, but perhaps even more significantly, this engine is compact, more like a transit bus than a traditional fire truck. “Every single thing is different,” says Fields. “There’s nothing about it that’s like the rest of our fleet.” Because the truck is shorter and narrower — it doesn’t even have exterior mirrors — and has four-wheel steering, it’s much more
