Became interested in LACoFD back in the day from a TV show and it wasn't "Emergency" , it was "Rescue 8" . I would go into our garage and climb up into the rafters and act like I'm saving somebody. I was 7 years old. Now my son is LAcoFD station 167 and he's living my dream of being a fireman.

[@DenitaArnold]

This popped up on my recommendations. I grew up watching Emergency, Adam 12 and dragnet

[@jamesrader3329]

That was awesome enjoyed it very much. Thank you

[@douglasnorby8385]

Had never seen video of this place but saw Engine 51 in Yosemite..

[@robertyoung3992]

For a bit of Emergency! trivia the Ward LaFrance was built in Elmira,NY

[@jeffpierce725]

Looking forward to visiting. I love the Crown Fire Coach and all the apparatus there.

[@scoobycarr5558]

One fascinating fact in that although the characters in *Emergency!* were fictional, it was based on true stories of emergency calls, rescues, car accidents and fires.

Jim Page of Rescue 11 was the inspiration for the character Johnny Gage in "Emergency!" Bob Cinader & Jack Webb wanted to use Page's name in the show, but Page told them if they did, he would be fired. So, they created John Gage for Randolph Mantooth's character.

One thing I liked of FF/PM John Roderick (Johnny) Gage best was his incredible sense of humor. 😄

[@Tbird1549]

Great job!

[@philipperiopel1911]

I like Matchbox and Hot Wheels putting out some of these rigs!

[@davidpayne4315]

That Mack is beautiful

[@gingerbread6614]

Wow they are amazing.

[@ameliadiaz8040]

Where are the Rampart General Hospital's (Harbor/UCLA Medical Center's) ambulances used in TV's Emergency! anyhow?

[@Thumbhit1]

Believe they were private as they are now. Not part of LAC fire.

[@001desertrat3]

@@Thumbhit1 -- Those Ambulances were part of the Los Angeles County Dept. of Hospitals and were stationed at all of the County Hospitals. You are correct, they were NOT part of the Los Angeles County Fire Dept. . < Doc, (Coroner, Retired), ex- L. A. County Paramedic, during the 1970's . > .

[@ELOfanatic]

@@Thumbhit1 One of the Mayfair ambulances, an early 70's Chevy Suburban, has been acquired by the fire museum and is in the process of being restored. Last I saw, the 454 V-8 was being rebuilt and the body was being prepped for painting

[@anthonypropst1818]

You know, does somebody recognize the technical sophistication of what the silent generation built for us today? We own them a lot to say the least.

[@FredChristianImpact]

Very Nice Thank you God Bless

[@claudioderisola5913]

@19:07 , I disagree: the Car's fire engine it's surely a Seagrave!

[@jeffpierce725]

No, it is a 1952 American LaFrance 700 seriies.

[@ameliadiaz8040]

A decir verdad, la Unidad de Rescate Paramédico 51 y las dos Autobombas 51 de la teleserie ¡Emergencia! son los camiones bomberiles que más se roban el show dentro del Museo Bomberil del Condado de Los Ángeles.

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

Now you have to do one on the new place.

[@vintagevehicle]

would love to but unfortunately we are no longer in production

[@TheRadioAteMyTV]

Oh well that is not good. Too bad, you did a great job with these things. I hope things worked out for the better though in your new endeavour. But you have a lot of new content being posted, even one today. I am confused.
