Los Angeles City Fire Station 112
located at Berth 86, in San Pedro along the Main Channel
is home to the LAFD big boat - Fireboat 2 "Warner L. Lawrence"

The 105' long "Warner L Lawrence" was built in 2003.
At the time the most powerful fireboat in the world.
It operates with the Voith Schneider Cycloidal Drive system,
also used by the new Long Beach Fireboat 2.
The boat can pump 50,000 gpm.
It is the largest of LA City's (5) fireboats.

 

LA City Station 49 and home to Fireboat 3 and 4 is located on Yacht Street
at the East Basin.

 

LA City Fireboat 4 "Bethel F Gifford" is the oldest of the in service LA City boats.
Built in 1962, this boat is not the most powerful of the LA boats, but it is clearly
the "Queen" of the fleet.  Meticulously maintained, it is one of the classics
at 76' feet, it can pump 9,000 gpm.


 

LA City Fire Station 110 is at the Cabrillo Marina in the West Channel.
Fireboat 5 is assigned here, but was out when I visited.
