BADASS FOOTAGE!!
-
QUINT 3 - EAST LA !!!!!!!
-
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.

ok ty
-
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.
-
Yellow - Captains are identified by their yellow helmets. At large incidents these officers typically take on managerial roles.
-
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!
Are the guys wearing white helmets battalion chiefs? And are the guys wearing red helmets captains?

Yes...although one of the Chiefs shown is actually an Assistant Chief...
