It could either be E-One or Pierce by the badge at the rear  |

no luck searching for engine 57 the logo at rear could be the old KME logo and door handles positions fit but too bad you don't see their shape better ![[Image: 13.1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/24/13.1.jpg) here the handles better visible ![[Image: img_14601_281429.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/24/img_14601_281429.jpg) -- Last edit: 2024-09-19 21:33:09 |

1998-1999 KME Renegade-Excel So we’re obviously going off of very limited images of this rig, but what I’ve found is quite interesting.. in that it’s not from Canada, where much of filming apparently took place. No, this rig is from the Los Angeles County Fire Department, not from Canada. Going by FD’s page on FireWiki, Engine 57 is assigned to a 2011 KME Severe Service (which would fit in the timeline of this series’ release), however, the rear of the apparatus is quite different as seen below ![[Image: img_7424.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/19541/25/img_7424.jpg) and this was the tailboard of a 1998 KME, which is a match. ![[Image: img_7422.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/19541/25/img_7422.jpg) This tailboard change apparently happened between LACoFD’s batch of engine orders, which we see based on the FireWiki page, roughly 23 1998-1999 KME engines… none from 2000-2005, and then a massive 47 - engine order in 2006 / 2007. Below is the tail of one of those 2006 KMEs ![[Image: img_7423.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/19541/25/img_7423.jpg) Now those apparatus number boards are interchangeable, so companies receiving spare apparatus can add their number boards onto the rigs without having to have multiple apparatus IDs plastered about like the FDNY or Philly FD have in the past. Convenient and soooooo much more aesthetically pleasing for fire departments… but a headache for fire nerds like me who are trying to identify apparatus year, make/model and assignment history. Given the points above, I believe that this rig is one of the 1998-1999 KMEs from the department’s spare pool.. which one exactly it is we won’t know unless we can have better pics available. -- Last edit: 2025-03-28 14:35:49 |
