Photo of all the trucks at the command post at about 6:00 AM. Sept. 2003Second photo is later in the day. A Chevy 2 wheel drive truck with C-Tec style cages in front of the Animal Control Command Post trailer. Residents would call the office in San Bernardino, we'd get the call at the command post and send out staff to "rescue" their pets from houses that were being or had been evacuated.
Set up at the Glen Helen Rodeo grounds near the end of the Old and Gran Prix fires in November 2003. A good photo of the department's Command Post. Back end was a full opening door for loading and unloading stuff.
Last photo is from the mid 1980's of the designated Dead animal pickup unit. A Dodge one ton, storage compartments on this side, a few regular cage compartments on the other. The center area was open with a lift gate at the back and a winch inside to pull in and lift large dead animals. I helped load several horses over the years it was used. I remember once it was going down the road with four feet from a horse sticking straight up out the top. That got a lot of looks!
