how is lafd different from other major FDs in usa?
lafd has 7 helicopters
lafd has a helipad on the roof of every highrise in LA - (not sure about that)
lafd protects a major cargo ship port
lafd also protects 2 large airports - used to be 3 large airports
lafd does not deal with snow or ice at all
lafd is in a major earthquake zone
lafd has mountains in the city - mt lukens is highest at 5,000 feet -
The summit's elevation makes Los Angeles the city with the largest
difference between high and low points among the 50 most populous
cities in the US.[6] - per wikipedia
lafd also serves seashore locations
lafd has no residency requirement for senior firefighters - ???? -
true or false?
lafd has task forces - no one else in usa or world does this afaik -
one man 'wagons' is very much a thing of the past - boston mass and
cambridge mass had them till the 1970s
