N15LA pictured here during a training session dropping and picking up rescue swimmers over Castaic Lake north of LA, is the 3rd S-70A Firehawk the LA County FD took on strength in January 2005. The other two are N160LA and N190LA. Two S-70i Firehawks were added in 2018 and registered N821LA and N822LA respectively, bringing the total S-70 LACFD fleet to five. The LA County FD plans to replace the three older S-70A with two new S-70i's in the near future. Registration N15LA was previously assigned to another LAFCD helicopter, a Bell 205A-1.
