I thought 3 trucks +the FT were supposed to respond? Fires only?

I hear quite often the dispatcher trying to contact a unit on air & asking unit if they are responding to such & such a box, only to hear officer tell dispatcher, “No, nothing on the MDT, please send it”, followed by the dispatcher telling the unit to “ reset your MDT”. Dispatchers must...

Two blocks over, box 2554, 114, 2nd due on the box. From that, to not even assigned, unless elsewhere. Same for 40Bn.

Your comment about a multiple on arrival is, in my opinion, correct. What is happening now, especially at a job where it’s mere minutes before the next alarm is tapped in or special calls requested, makes sense, as long as relocating unit doesn’t give a bogus 10-10, just to go to the job...

If a floor etc is not fully involved using the tower ladder stream extended the fire backwards. It happened to us, until we learned otherwise. Did it on a vacant building or two. 😳

Do they still have them & are they in quarters. I know the old ones are because I checked a few times to see certain boxes we used to be 2nd due on , but lost them to other companies.

Other times, heating systems in the winter, below the altar source of fire.

And with a 10-66 given too. You’re probably right.

Mt. Vesuvius destroyed Pompei.

I would say that the 3rd truck is still the FT, as they would get to the box faster than the next truck in the response assignment.

42Bn getting some work.

Most of the time the BC requests an extra engine & truck right away. This eliminates his request, until he either requests additional specific type units or a 2nd alarm, etc.

E250 & L 114 came in from Beverly Rd , can be seen in one of the videos.

Saw that mentioned in an earlier comment, just wonder why 114 just didn’t pull up towards where 147 was? Couldn’t tell from video if that was possible. Believe 281 was in front of fire buildings.

Yup!

Just saw a video & it showed 114 in opposite direction just past E 250, which was hooked up. Couldn’t tell what exposure they were IFO. 2A,2B? Heard on transmission’s they operated in exposure 2. No video of TL’s operating, that I’ve seen.

I know 157 was the Fast truck & 114, 1st on the 2nd alarm. Unless blocked out br other units, 157 might have been on block, same for 114. As long as their approach was opposite of each other, then both exposures of fire building would be “covered”. Again, as stated in another post, depends on...

True, the 10-18 automatically signifies than all the other units are 10-8. I would think, concerning one of the previous post//transmission, that it would be, “Using 1 & 1 along with Haz-Mat units assigned. I even heard an officer give a 10-18 for a 10-92. Again, 10-92 IS the signal giving...

The dropping down to a 10-18 again. what units were used before signal 10-18? Do they get credit on the fire report & is it still a 10-18 when Haz-Mat will be used? I thought 10-18 was a self-explanatory signal? ID units if different ones used, other than 1st due. Comment’s anyone, in...

Both trucks on box were a tiller & rear mount, FT was a TL. 1st truck assigned on 2nd was aTL & another TL special called as per posted rundown. Wonder if TL’s were operated as TL’s at some point?
