Any ideas how much more an electric fire truck costs than a diesel one?
It’s a lot.
They are bad arse though. I love crab walking vehicles.

This is a trap. Why can’t you pay for your own trucks… oh wait! A lack of common sense. Whew.

yeah I'm guessing most regs are suspended im emergency situations
usually they become more important. maybe regulations isn't the best descriptor, nor inspection for that matter
they are certainly working under national fema protocols by now, which is very militaristic, all about chain of command. it can be tedious for sure. you can't just roll up in a firetruck from oregon and randomly drive around looking for fires. too inefficient. there's certainly some kind of check in process to confirm equipment, personnel and capabilities. need to be made aware of available radio channels, where's the closest hospital, who's your point of contact, etc. the chief needs to know who and what kind of equipment is available. organization is paramount in an effort like this

What explains the part on the back end where the state can red tag trucks requiring they be fixed before leaving the state?

I’ve heard similar stories of these delays during past wildfires but don’t remember big news stories. Either it’s true and the media isn’t reporting, which is believable, or it’s the normal natural disaster rumors that circle, which is also believable.

Seattle Fire sent an engine with a task force and on their Facebook page stated that the fire engine had to be inspected.

and you provided more of a source than Lars did.

This is the kind of crap that is being accepted.. If a straight male firefighter had answered the question like that.. they would have been fired...

From Seattle_fire insta:
Our four Seattle firefighters who deployed with a Strike Team to help battle the Los Angeles wildfires arrived in Woodland, CA late last night. This morning the fire engines were put through a mandatory apparatus inspection and the crews are now headed to assist with the Palisades Fire response.

Taxpayers of California have voted for this.
Yes, it's tradegy and a sad story, but.... until they vote for something different, this is what they can expect.
The same for the rest of the nation. If we don't start voting for better representation, nothing will really change. Only we the people have the power
to effect change. It's a great and wonderful thing we have Trump and his team for four years, but let's not fool ourselves unless we elect better representation..... Trump will only be a bump in the road to the Marxist and globalist plans.

imo again it comes down to protocol. happens often in remote wildfires.before anyone let's you enter the scene, does all applicable equipment have a spark arrestor? whats you crew's flashover and respiratory equipment? etc
this fire is unique, or at least unusual. there will be trucks and crews that can be very helpful in some areas and a liability in others, again necessitating some type of inspection or check in. wouldn't send a bunch of rookies from vacaville into that inferno without knowing more about their equipment and qualifications

As someone who does federal DOT inspections for a living, all those firetrucks should be able to pass a DOT inspection or shouldn't be on the road in the first place. Wouldn't want a firetruck going to a fire and kill somebody on the way because the brakes aren't working right. All those trucks should easily pass the inspection, and if they don't, they shouldn't be driving on public roads to being with.
FYI, any truck that size is subject to being pulled over by state DOT at anytime and having an inspection done right then and there.
