What is the difference between a BC rig and the "command" unit?

Per the LAFD website: “Each Battalion Chief in the LAFD is responsible for a group of fire stations in a geographic area, typically 20 - 30 square miles in size. There are between five and eight fire stations in a Battalion. The Battalion Chief is responsible for fire/emergency suppression/mitigation within his/her Battalion. A "command team" Staff Assistant supports the B/C with critical tracking and resource management functions at any emergency.” As for Command units: “These are similar in terms of equipment and setup to Battalion Sedans. Traditionally, these sedans have been staffed by an Assistant Chief responsible for one of the city's fire protection divisions, and a "command team" Staff Assistant. Together, the command team is responsible for the administrative and fire/emergency suppression requirements of a large geographic region of the City of Los Angeles. When a fire requires multiple additional requests for resources, a Division Chief may head into any region of the City of Los Angeles to provide command and control supervision.” Hope this helps

Question, if a car accident were to happen, what truck would they send out? The engine or the USAR or rescue?
@southlafirephotography

CAD would usually put the engine or truck with the rescue. If it’s a car accident had trapped patients it would have multiple units with the addition of the heavy rescue, and sometimes USAR.
Does the usar have its own crew or is cross staffed? I thought i read that some LA usars were fully staffed?

USAR 88 is the only rig fully staffed with its own members, the rest (UR3 UR5 UR85 UR89 UR27) are crossed staffed either by the BLS Ambulance or Engine company.
Is there a fire station behind cuz it looks like USAR drove through it

Most likely a storage facility.

That’s a separate bay where the USAR is kept.

@@stueyexmcfd it doesn’t. That’s why RA803 and the USAR rig is kept in the back bay
So, I did not see HR3 in that response, it was held back I assume or is HR3 cross staffed by USAR3?

HR3 had a train wreck run in South LA 30 minutes prior to this so they got attached while still in South LA, unfortunately by the time i got to the fire station they were already out. HR3 has its own crew

@@southlafirephotographyNice! I met some of HR103’s(LAcoFD)crew a few years back when I visited L.A., but didn’t get to LAFD Station 3. Those Heavy Rescues are both awesome rigs, but I do really like the USARS as well!👍🏽
How big is LAFD station 3?
