This airframe was the 2nd S-70A "Firehawk" purchased new by the LACoFD in 2001. It returns here at 8am from a 24 hour shift it spent on Helipad "Bravo 69", which is located closer to a possible bush fire than Barton heliport, cutting down the response time if need be. Each day around 10am, another S-70 heads out to Bravo 69, while the previous ship undergoes maintenance at Barton, HQ of LACoFD's aviation branch.
