Larry....Haven't looked at it yet, but I believe I saw it once as a short subject / fillin on the AMC channel. Had some good footage of one of the famous LAFD duplex pumpers or manifold wagons in action. Be great to see this issued as a DVD!

Yes, that is it!

Take a look at the breathing apparatus used by the rookies.

I can't decide which part I love the most. Maybe the "foamite" powder being dumped into the portable hopper. What a hoot!

Java, black, hot java!

There are a number of what look like 1920s and 1930s rigs in the video. If the west coast was like the east coast after WWII, they probably were limited in the number of 1940s rigs that they could obtain during the war years. In Raleigh, NC, the first post-war apparatus wasn't purchased until 1949.

I have this DVD. I think it's great to see how they operated with two piece engine companies. The one segment I also enjoy is them dumping the entire station of everything and tell you what each and every rig does, down to the salvage company.

Is the DVD available commercially? If so, where. Tks

*Yoink*.

I'll advise the quality of the DVD transfer, etc.

If you Google the video title, there are some other DVDs out there that include the film.
