Anyone listening to Vista's job last night heard how horrible the comm's were. 60 couldn't hear Vista's chief, 60 tried to move the job to an operational channel and Chief said no because interior crews could not be notified of the channel change, other dept's were toning out calls-- It gets crazy. Anytime there's a job between 6pm and 9pm- good luck fighting with pager and radio tests. Everyone's been ripping the system for quite some time and the "new" system is still being "worked on" by the politicians. When you listen to other departments/counties you really hear the difference and it's sad.

Another "Capt. George." Just what we need.

Should be L-70, where it ran until replaced by a 1991 Seagrave RM. I believe 70 ran 75's former ALF rearmount for a time as well, before the 91, maybe as a spare until the new rig. I remember the old ALF straight stick, white cab with red body. That's about as far back as I go.
