Hey Ritchey

[Gramps]

do you live close to Sand Canyon Rd.?

 

[Luvnlife]

Hey Gramps, Ritchy is across the valley from there but I roll by there twice a day on my way to and from work:thumbsup

 

[Gramps]

Just curious if he (or you) have ever driven up to the top of the mountain to Camp 9. Neat view. It was and old Nike missile base about 50 years ago. L.A.CoFD took it over in 1970 and built it into and air attack camp. I was on the first crew that worked out of there.

 

[Luvnlife]

Been up there before although it's been awhile. My dad is retired LA County Fire so we used to hike and cruise around all over Angeles Forest. Just the other day I was checking out pics from Camp 16, it burned down in the Station Fire. I live in Acton and it's right across from me. I'm thinking of biking up there one day.

I was Camp 2, Camp 9 and the tractors out of the Pacomia Warehouse. My uncle was at 3, 40, 102, 86, at the training center and the first Air Attack Captain out of Barton heliport

 

[RitcheyRch]

Gramps, No, I live in the major part of the Santa Clarita Valley. I have never been up there and didnt even know about the camp up there.

 

[Gramps]

My dad started at the Pacoima Warehouse as a mechanic. I think it was like mid 60's. He then crossed over to firefighter, then paramedic.

 

[Gramps]

Can't believe I lived so close to you!! I was in Saugus

Close yes...............maybe the wrong years. I was around there in the early 70's

He and I had to cross paths

Camp nine is a nice ride. I haven't been up there in years. On a good day you can see the ocean.

I come home across Bear Divide on Fridays sometimes if I'm a little late and don't want to see the traffic. See some nice cars and bikes in there sometimes, saw a Caterham7 a while ago. I went to the camp about 3 years ago. Different view for sure. Bear Divide is a kid hang out on Sat. Now, They still call it "Nike Base".

My dad worked 19's for awhile. Hes been outta several stations but ended up at 62's for 10-15 years. Stations i remember are 101, 102, 19, 64, headquarters for couple years, glendora (cant think of the #), thats about all i can think of now

He kept all his helmet plaques from every station. Told him thats really the only thing i want when he dies.

Glendora might be 86's I'd like to see a picture of the plaques

I'll do my best on the pic. they are the old school ones. Metal. I would give anything to get his old helmets back, especially the "skunk" one.

86's isn't the one he was at. That station is up against the hill. The one I'm thinking of is more downtownish. Some reason 151's is popping in my head

 

[PhyrMnGil]

Station close to downtown Glendora is 151...

My buddy was Pomona before they went County and then bid back there after a year or two. I believe he recently promoted and not sure what station he is at.

You guys ever get going on the red hull?

Is it a Brainerd Helicopters FireHawk or an L.A. County bird? I know some guys at Brainerd Helicopters.

If you're asking whose birds are at Camp 9 last time I heard all of the copters are LA County

Chi Chi's is still there But the old Tim Toms is now a Burrito Factory

My Great Uncle ... aka Tio Nacho owned all the property on the N/E corner of Soledad & Sierra Highway, he lived in the little white house behind the LA County Fire Station, the only other thing there back in the 60's was the Trailer Park on Soledad that is still there, going out to my Tio's house from the valley back then was like taking a trip to the country, there was no 14 freeway, it was the old highway 99, aka San Fernando rd. to Sierra Highway

My Family has a lot of history in SCV, my mom tells me, her great uncle was a Ventura County Sheriff stationed in Piru and he mostly patrolled the Valley on Horseback cause most of the roads were dirt trails and un passable when it rained... oh and the 126 was a Rock and Oil Roadway.....wedge
