The Ranger type water tank was known as an Indian Can in my fire fighting days. We only used them on brush fires, especially if the fire was too far to reach with our booster/trash line.👍🇺🇸
OMG…..I was dying listening to this. “Captain…..what does it take to be a Fireman?” “Well Bob……..” 😂😂 And those Dry Barrel hydrants killed me!! And they showed them with SCBA’s but it wasn’t called smoke eating for nothing! But I loved the collection of nozzles as it rivaled mine!

This was great
Excellent presentation. As a retired firefighter/instructor, this brings back a lot of memories! Thanks very much for posting and be safe 🙏
Old but gold
It sure is, Bob!
Pretty cool show. I have the utmost respect for these folks. Bless them and their families.
Great Drinking/Bong game. Shot/hit every time the on air personality says "Los ANG-helez"
Old Station 27 is now the LAFD Museum.
Mack, ALF, Seagrave many of those in museums but could still deliver a punch!
Those scaling ladders are killer!!!

8:14 I didn't know that life nets were actually a thing I just thought it was a loony toons and Monty Python type of thing
woah, at 3:30 shouldn't you unzip your pants first?, before you use 'the nozzle'?
LAFD In The 50's No EMT's 0r PARAMEDIC'S Just "FIREMAN" No Women.
Aahh, the good old days!
the city of new york had way more advanced fire engines then them in the 50s. 1800 gpm. L. A. 750 gpm.
No--LAFD used 1,000, 1250 and 1500 gpm engines. FDNY used 750 gpm engines.
that was back in the old school days. but not today. fdny uses 2000 to 5500.. i was drunk when i said that comment.
Why do they pronounce Angeles like that
That’s back in the day when identity woke politics had no place in these departments now that’s what it’s all about it’s all trash
