Throw Back Thursday! Although not a service we currently provide, EMS was a big part of the past of the West Lake Fire Department. Enjoy a look at many of the Squads that served us back in the day. ... See MoreSee Less

I remember one night back in the 70s Dennis Bullock and myself were working at Erie Ambulance and got a MVA at 6th and Monica. (Someone hit the tree). We needed the Hurst Tool so I called for the Lake as they were so much closer than the City coming from South Central. Took a lot of crap for calling the Lake into the city but I guess you got to do what you got to do. Lake was there in minute's (Chief Richard Schau in charge!)

Do you have pictures of the old engines that were there?

It’s wasn’t Johnny and Roy, it was Darryl and Denny!

Would love to have that Jeep now.

You're missing pictures of the IH Travelall's that were in service between the Cadillac and the van's.

Throw Back Thursday! Today we look back at the February 1988 Bel Aire Hotel Fire. This stubborn fire took departments from all over the area several hours to extinguish. To this day, it is still talked about as one of the worst fires in West Lake history. ... See MoreSee Less

I was there early on,I left my day job to fight this stubborn fire.

I got there a little later in the fight of this really stubborn fire in the old Crystal Room. You can see where old Truck 2 s Telesquirt master stream got put to good use. WestLake had the bulky rubberized turnout gear at that time

I ran the bucket of the snorkel, Pat came on an Engine in the afternoon. Dan O and Gil Keinath also on snorkel.

Cool pictures!!! I found this fire also on YouTube.

Amazing photos. Who had on the white outfit?

WOW! that looks intense!

Yes

Very cool pics. I thought I heard a story about why the ladder was removed . Was it due to a accident

Awesome photos! Curious, who made this fire truck? LaFrance? GMC? Ford? ….
