[@johncamera5747]

As a Van Nuys Neighborhood Council member,I want to thank the Air Ops crew for the virtual tour on Fire Service Day protecting our well established airport in Van Nuys.

Great job. Love the insight on both operations, great job. Please keep these videos coming. Btw, so sorry for the firefighters that were injured in the structure fire/explosion yesterday. Very terrifying watching that happen live. The sounds were extremely scary and just watching the firefighters coming off the roof down the ladder was tough to watch. So glad everyone is alive. I’m sure it’s going to be a long road to recovery, please relay that we’re all pulling for them. 🤞🤞🚒🚒

Does the LAFD have any of the newer Oshkosh Airport Crash trucks in there fleet?

[@frstrspndr1478]

Yeah at LAX, but I think those are Rosenbaur

[@billfenner7084]

Okay I just wondering. I was surprised to see that there are some of the older Oshkosh Airport Crash trucks around yet. They look like the day they were bought and put in service.

@@frstrspndr1478 I believe they are OSHKOSH STRIKERS at LAX.

If an LAFD airship goes down, what is the procedure?

[@lafd]

It becomes a 9-1-1 response with the same type of resources to any aircraft down. Any additional requirements would be handled as needed. It's not like the military, with downed aircraft procedures because you need pick up points for pilots in hostile territory, etc

[@BDCSam]

Just curious, why is an AO assigned to Crash 114 vs an Engineer?

[@lafd]

There is also an Engineer assigned but when the duties on that specific apparatus were determined, the decision was made for it to be an AO slot. We don't have the reasoning behind it (made many years ago)

@@lafd (Sorry old reply lol) They said the Crash has the Capt, A/O, and a FF, but they also introduced the Engineer and second FF, are those two staffing Foam 114?
