A huge thank you to the Los Angeles Fire Department and all the mutual aid providers who risked their lives to protect life and property during the Springs Fire. Your bravery and hard work is appreciated.

 

The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is the agency that provides fire protection and emergency medical services for the city of Los Angeles. It may be unofficially referred to as the Los Angeles City Fire Department to distinguish it from the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

 

The Los Angeles Fire Department is currently organized into several Bureaus of Operations and 2 Divisions of Operations: The South Division(Division 2), and the North Division(Division 3). Each Bureau is commanded by a Deputy Chief. Each Division is commanded by an Assistant Chief, who commands a total of 8 Battalions each. Each Battalion, a grouping or district covered by approximately 6 Fire Stations, is commanded by a Battalion Chief. The LAFD's 2 Divisions and 16 Battalions command a total of 106 Fire Stations, located throughout the city.

All LAFD Engines are Triple Combination apparatus, meaning they can pump water, carry hose, and have a water tank. Commonly called, "triples" by firefighters, these powerful fire engines are the core of the city's fire defense system. LAFD engines are designed specifically for the diverse needs of the City of Los Angeles.

Back here on the NPBL, NS typically give the belt line crews either a GP38 to use or a Dash 9 as of recent years. I always thought it was a bit silly for the belt line to use a dash 9 with they only used it for switching. So it came to my surprised when I came to Berkeley yard and saw a SD40-2 working the yard. Hey it make a lot more sense the using a dash 9 to work the yard.

Hanging out at Carney's Crossing, Shelly was making sure I knew there was a train coming. She didn't know I was going to take a picture of her and the train.

A Norfolk Southern empty hopper train has departed from Lamberts Point on a rainy Tuesday afternoon. Seen here going through Portlock road in south Norfolk, Virginia, the train would round the corner to find a vehicle parked next to the tracks. I would wetness the air being dumped and the train coming to a screeching halt. Everyone was reported ok.
