Sorry a little late with this but it should get out there. Deputy Musil leaves three children, ages 5, 11, and 12. The driver of the truck was charged with one count of reckless homicide and three counts of aggrevated DUI causing death. In addition there were charges of failure to reduce speed...

Well if it is that many how about a run for SP1?

Boston units are responding to reports of an active shooter in East Boston. BFD staging is Engine 56 quarters. Silent approach per C-6. Incident has been terminated by C-6, neighboring school lockdown terminated by BPD.

I noticed another video on YouTube that shows the first alarm responding and going to work. First due units were hampered by devices over the windows.

yes you get a Chelsea engine on the second in East Boston. Photos show how close those buildings are to each other, both in Eastie and Southie.

Lou Conter, the last surviving member of the crew of the battleship USS Arizona has passed away. He was 102 and retired as a lieutenant commander after 28 years of service.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a Happy Easter.

Part of Boston's first alarm response is the RIT engine which is the first due on the second.

So will the fifth engine be the one that would have been first due on the second alarm? That is how Boston determines who the RIT engine will be, first due on the second.

To those who served we were the best America had. To those who returned, Welcome Home. To our 58,000 brothers and sisters who did not a slow hand salute.

I remember a Boston's District Chief reasoning: Hey I can always send them back!

Due the city and county share a firehouse or is it just a coincident that both companies were # 57?

Watching a civilians pre-arrival cell phone video who is the grey/silver vehicle that preceeds the first due engine/truck in the front of the fire building?

government was a loose term by me, someone is calling the shots so to speak.

Not a lover of the Soviet government by any means but if ISIS did this they screwed with the wrong people. Putin is beholden to no sets of rules, actions, or their consequences. Remember the general who tried the coup, what happened to him? And they were friends.

I think the US flag code is one of the most dis-regarded documents around. You are not to use it for commercial profit, yet how many times do you see shirts and shorts with stars and stripes on them. But this incident does not fall into that, glad to see the COD has stepped in!

Something like this happened in a Boston suburb last year. When the flag was removed it found its way to many different departments where it was proudly flown.

Chicago has a 2-11 @ 3329 S Morgan in a 3 story mixed occupancy. Going into defensive ops with 2 master streams, one TL and a second being set up along with Squad 1's 55' snorkel and several hand lines. Fire is s/o with units still on the scene for awhile. Info from Chicagoland Fire Scanner FB.
