Re: 1949 Movie about the LAFD "Your Fire Department"
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.
Re: 1949 Movie about the LAFD "Your Fire Department"
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.
