Here's a ‪#‎ThrowbackThursday‬ for fans of Emergency! Pictured is Mike Stoker, the engineer for the fictional Engine 51 and a real-life firefighter specialist with the Los Angeles County Fire Department at the time. Apparently, Universal needed an engineer to drive the engine for the television show, and Stoker had a SAG (Screen Actors Guild) card, so he got the job. He retired from LACoFD in 1996 as a captain. ‪#‎tbt‬

Here's a Throwback Thursday for our Air Ops fans:
Los Angeles County Fire Department helicopters are yellow, white and black, but they weren’t always painted those colors. This photo of Copter 11, taken in August 1975, shows the original red and white paint scheme.
So why change?
