QUINT 3 - EAST LA !!!!!!!

[teamgiffin]

to set the record straight, for most departments in Los Angeles and Orange County:

Chiefs: White helmets, they are the incident commanders/oversee operations

Captains: Red, they are incident command until chiefs arrive, in charge of certain operations and their company

Yellow: Engineers (lieutenants) which are in charge of their respective rig and also regular firefighters wear yellow.

Black helmets are used by some departments but they are mostly northern California.

Some wicked footage man!!!

Excellent video! And JPOC226, L.A.CoF.D. and LAFD don't have Lieutenants.

[JPOC226]

Yellow - Captains are identified by their yellow helmets. At large incidents these officers typically take on managerial roles.

[rmbaflmco12]

LAFD & LAcoFD boh incorporate the same color scheme for thier helmets: Battalion Chiefs use white helmets , Capatins use orange, Firefighters and Engineers use yellow. After 9/11 LAcoFd allowed their personel to utilize the black FDNY style helmets in memory of the fallen FF's that day.

ok ty

[JPOC226]

Red - Lieutenants can be identified by their red helmets. Firefighters of this rank typically lead teams consisting of regular firefighters.

Black - Regular firefighters wear black helmets. Don't assume, however, that a black helmet signifies a lack of experience or leadership ability -- several of our past Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs are currently wearing black helmets and performing the duties of regular firefighters!

[JPOC226]

White - This color helmet is reserved for the Chief and his or her Assistant Chiefs. Because they often respond directly to the scene, these officers are frequently the first to arrive and deal most directly with the public.

Blue - Safety Officers are identified by their blue helmets and are primarily responsible for the well being of first responders on the scene. Safety Officers have the effective rank of Captain.
