County of Los Angeles Fire Department This is the sign at the enterance on Eastern Avenue. The location is also the home of the departments fire academy. There was a group of cadets on their morning run..."I want to be a fire fighter..hoorah!"	Command & Control Center This futuristic looking building is our destination this morning, where fire dispatch is located.

Old tower This is the original tower with it's new neighbor, the command and control center.	Antenna Farm It was quite easy to find our way here since the hill top is scattered with large antenna towers. Some of these towers are for other County agencies.

New tower	A well grounded building The command and control center is an earthquake resistant building. These pictures really don't do it justice; you have to see this to be awed by it. The building sits in a hole atop a bed of springs. Everything that connects the outside world with the building must be able to move with an earthquake. Normally a buildings ground is the water pipes leading into the ground.

Shake it, don't break it The entrances to the building are like gang planks that can move several feet during an earthquake. The water and sewage lines must also move several feet as you can see from the flexable pipe below this enterance. The building actually sits above the ground.	Welcome abord SCMA members who were dedicated enough to wake early on a Sunday morning make their way across the "gang plank" into the building.

In memory of... This art work dedicated to their fallen brother and sister firefighters in New York adorns the lobby wall.	Building springs This building spring is on display in the command and control center. This building sits on a bed of these springs which allows it to survive a major earthquake.
