s/c a rescue for fire duty, something you don't see too often(?)

No, referring to "E-104 197 total with 53 EMS and 114 fire, and its truck company T-61 with 265 fire related and 101 EMS runs for a total of 36"

Any insight on why, for the slowest house, the truck would be doing more medicals than the engine? I don't know anything about how the CFD operates. Thanks

Ok, I guess I could have said "other than some extremely minor details", all squads get assigned the same way...

Here is a picture of the TRV. My understanding is before the other six squads were formed, SQ1 ran with the TRV as a second piece for both technical rescue and HAZMAT responses. I am not sure exactly what would trigger a response (certain signal or alarm level, etc). It also served as a backup...

On FC's progress report, sounds like they revised it to a 37-1

L149 in the mix somewhere E279 Comms Car 12A Car 22G SQ288 act. SQ1

If I recall correctly the old rescue services rig, which had a rescue body, used to act occasionally as a Tac and also as SOC logistics. Could be wrong. I don't think this truck is around anymore? Not sure though. Of course, lots of other spares with rescue bodies.

Anybody know what would be in those red bags the members from E40 were carrying? Curious what equipment would be involved with the lobby control designation, if any.

Thanks, appreciate your insight

I personally do not understand how anybody can argue for anything other than "the closest unit to the call gets the run". Yes, I'm sure it sucks if you're in quarters and a multiple alarm goes out near you and you miss out while a relocator gets the job, but if they're closer, they're closer...

Thanks, sounds like SQ252 is on it. Not sure if SQ1 got in as an engine and thus 252 responding as a SQ, or if they're assigned as the HMTU
