A fun day with my friend Rony - May 2001

My friend Rony spent a day with me checking out fire equipment. I live in Burbank, so we started off the day inspecting the Disney Studios fire equipment. Rony was surprised to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse.  Walt Disney Studios truck 19
The Burbank Police Department has friendly officers. Sitting on the police bikes and imagining zooming after bad guys was fun. The sirens are really loud.  your under arrest buddy
Next we went to Glendale. They are very proud to be a class 1 fire department. I like the yellow color scheme on the equipment. Battalion Chief Donald Wright is one of the nicest men you could ever meet.  hanging out at station 21
We had to check out some Los Angeles Fire Department equipment. So we went to station 88 in Van Nuys. I had never seen the diesel engine inside a fire truck before. I hope they figure out all the spark plug wires we pulled out.  lets turn all the valves
The LAFD helicopters are nice inside. Someday I would like to sit in the pilots seat and fly one of these every time my scanner gets a good call.  LAFD helicopter
