Ranchos Platos Verdes Fire and Rescue Engine 101

Ranchos Platos Verdes is a small upscale community in the southwest region of Los Angelego County and is the home to many actors and artists.

 

Ranchos Platos Verdes Fire and Rescue operates out of two stations with multiple pieces of fire apparatus. Due to the hilly areas, most of the apparatus are on a 4x4 chassis.

 

Engine 101 is this 2018 Pierce Arrow XT urban interface engine designed to traverse over rough terrain. The roof top monitor allows for rapid extinguishment of brush fires that may occur in the area. As the first out apparatus at Station 101, E101 needs to be thoroughly equipped, and has several certifications including advanced life support and Type III urban search and rescue.
