Los Angeles gets the first electric fire truck in America:

Penta supply 132 kWh of energy capacity to a pair of electric motors — one at each of the two axles — with the juice to offer 360 kW of peak power or 260 kW of continuous power. That's the equivalent of 490 peak hp or 350 continuous ponies. Backup power is offered by a 300-hp BMW-supplied inline-six engine that runs onfuel and serves as a range extender. Both the batteries and diesel engine can also be used to pump up to 1,500 gallons of water per minute.

The truck is fitted with seating for seven occupants. It has an air-adjustable suspension system that can raise from its low of 7 inches of ground clearance up to a maximum of 19 inches for off-road travel or to ford deep water. All-wheel steering can be configured in both counter- and crab-steering modes.

The engine has been assigned to LAFD Station 82 in Hollywood. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District also placed an order for the electric fire engine, and it's expected to take delivery in 2023.

Archdiocese of Los Angeles says it never gave Villanueva permission to shoot campaign ad at churchLA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva released a new campaign ad at a church with a voiceover of Villanueva saying a prayer for public safety. However, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles claims it never gave Villanueva permission to shoot the ad. Too bad they weren’t as concerned about countless years of priests raping and abusing young boys as they are about this. If history repeats itself, lacatholics are gonna get investigated for calling out Lee Baca 2.0 soon.
