It shows Metropolitan and Central as being roughly the same duration, with the preferred route (according to Google) being Metropolitan

It is amazing in the dense parts of the city how little time separates multiple alarm engine companies. While I understand Google Maps isn't a perfect mapping instrument, I think this gives a general sense of slim the differences are. Here are the projected response times for engines (other than...

2-2

Lol that was an amusing 10-75 transmission

Rundown says the 48 first due, assume you mean the 46

Does FC get notified even if they're not assigned? If so, why is that?

Hearing FC on this box, not sure why

Yes. In February 2023, when it was being reported that virtually the whole staff was resigning or requesting demotions, these two were two of three staff chiefs who got promoted. At the time it was also widely reported that the Kavanaugh regime couldn't get any deputies to accept a promotion to...

According to various apparatus websites, this is assigned to the Fleet Services Division as a "Prime Mover" (unit #KM16001). That said, it might be multi purpose as you can see it was used for SOC training here: According to those same apparatus website lists, SOC also has or used to have a...

No, F, H, R, T, etc.

Yes, 6am to 7pm, see above. Out of curiosity, do you know what the abbreviations are for each BC in the list? I assume this is to signify some sort of training / qualification?

Interesting, thanks for the info. A couple of followup questions: 1) Does anybody know the last time a rescue was relocated? What you're saying makes sense, but the last few 10-60s or similar incidents where two rescues would be assigned it doesn't seem like a rescue was relocated. Perhaps it...

Out of curiosity, does anybody have up to date information on current SOC relocation policies? I know this has been discussed on this site above, but I am curious about the current state of this policy as I know some changes were made, i.e. squads only relocating to squads now. Here are a few...

You're missing his point, which is about terminology. Recommending an 18 is one thing, "dropping down" is another and implies you were using more than that
