LAFD ladder truck in action or perhaps practice

as no smoke or flame is to be seen...

[Fountain Ave & N Crescent Heights Blvd]

[A special South of North of East Of West L.A. edition!]

During Fire Season - the Canadian Bombardier 415

can be seen coming in for landings at Van Nuys Airport...
a good place to watch from is the Woodley Lakes Golf Course parking lot.

With summer heatwaves in progress and the virtually bone-dry conditions

of the past few years - it's easy to forget - or not know at all -

that Los Angeles is subject to flash flood when it does rain...

Last December it looked like there would be enough rain

to get out he LAFD Swiftwater Rescue gear just in case some

adventurous and gullible person fell into the Los Angeles River.
