  • The first time that I saw a LAFD Dozer was on an episode of Emergency. Johnny Gage got bit by a rattlesnake and they had to take him back up the hill on the Dozer. Then he had to treat himself on the way to the hospital while riding on the back of the fire truck.

    Marvin would be proud of a dozer like that. If you know you know!

    I think is BS that they don’t have emissions equipment on their stuff but the rest of the state and US is forced to have it on their own cars/trucks. They should have to deal with the same headaches that are associated with that stuff as the rest of the state and US.

    Show us the maintenance department and mechanics that work on these too. :)

    “It weighs more than a tank” is incorrect a D8 R fire dozer weighs approximately 90,000 pounds while an M1 A2 sep V3 Abrams is significantly over 140,000 pounds. and even the lightest modern day MBT’s are still over 100,000 pounds.

    Ah… did I see black smoke roll out of that CAT? Can’t have that in cali! That dozer should be electric and charged by solar! Blasphemy!

    I'm assuming the second seat is for a navigator, comms?
  • @ThatNativeBen10
    Still dont understand why you need your EMT to be a dozer operator for these guys.

    So with California going all EV why not this? Seems like a disaster to the environment
