Possible to get a run down?

[tl-ff]

E-238 E-216(arrived 1st) TL-146 BC-45 E-229(arrived 2nd) L-104 L-106 (FAST?) L-119 L-108

Other Units I saw there in no specific order of arrival:

 E-221 E-211 E-210 E-207 E-271 L-102 R-2 BC-35 DIV-11 Safety BN Rescue BN

Very heavy fire on arrival which melted a flag on the back of L-146. Building was a roof water tank business that was around for many many years, tons of wood made for high heat and lots of smoke.

[MichaelS]

BC-45 was initially assigned as the first due chief but BC-35 came available & arrived 1st. BC-45 continued in as the 10-75 chief.

Where was Engine 212?

[fdce54]

Enjoying retirement.

[johnd248]

Interesting that Engine 216 was 3rd due on the box, Batt. 35 had the fire, and Ladder 108 in the same firehouse never went to the fire.

[kfd274]

Would someone describe the function of the multi versal they had in operation.
