D14 or D11?

What an embarrassingly slanted article. For example: - It says Kavanagh was "Well liked by most". What is the basis for this claim? - The article quotes Kavanagh at length and takes her word as fact without a single opposing view expressed. It wouldn't be very hard to find someone with a...

Fallback step 2

A vote of non confidence from the union would not remotely be enough to remove the fire commissioner.

D1: AVFKD, 2 L/S, using all hands.

To be frank, some of the guesses listed above are bizarre. It might be worthwhile for some folks to spend ten minutes researching the history and background of past appointments before pronouncing who the candidate should be. Note: most prior commissioners have not, in fact, been former Chiefs...

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

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

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...
