I knew that. I meant what makes it different then all the other EMS units dispatched

What is “Hot truck”?

No Division relocation with 1 and 3 assigned to this?

What is 60 Control? And what is the staffing on their rigs?

Well apparently that is not correct. No gas infrastructure was involved. Now sounds like a grass fire flared up with the massive wind storm and they were over run by fire.

Unconfirmed reports I saw say that during a life fire exercise (military not firefighting) a natural gas well was struck. The resulting explosion levelled at least one building and lit an ammunitions depot which led to more explosions. It also spread to a grass fire that was fueled by 80km/h...

Any rundown? I thought there would be more Boston units going
