Does this actually happen though? Seems like ARC is almost always cancelled now, plus there's a second CTU to fill that gap

To your point on the fact ARC was established before drones, I wonder if at some point they look at changing the ARC response policy. They could either move it up the alarm card from the 3rd to the 4th or 5th or perhaps make it special call only. It seems they're rarely used now with the drones...

What's a 10-74? (I say in jest and appreciate all your work, signal)

169 in the mix somewhere per the pic above, not listed in the rundown. Relocated then in as an extra truck maybe?

Agree with this from the perspective of "if you have it and you may need it, send it" ... but additionally, if you look at all the bases that need to be covered at a major fire (whether from the perspective of ICS or other similar command methods), there actually aren't that many superfluous...

What happened to Squads only relocating to Squads?

I think it's a seniority thing - they assign 421 and 422 (when needed) to deputies who have time in rank. Now, you may argue that doesn't matter, but I think that's the logic. Furthermore, if you don't like the concept of 421 you probably don't like the concept of the citywide tour commander...

But why didn't they call the super pumper?

They send two boats on all fire-related calls near the water, plus the Marine Batt

Got it thanks but 128 not 126.

L45 act. L23 E76 act. E37

Some people on here are going to be so very excited about this! The downside is this will perpetuate the posts asking why it isn't called to every single large fire no matter what

Begs the question then why not send the SAT to all fires citywide? Or why not send two SATs? Or ten?

Got it, thanks. I was looking at a box from this area where SQ41 was third due but that was 5+ years ago being the most recent one I could find. Still leaves open the question of where 61 was as I assume they'd be way ahead of 18 even in the south BX

Is it SQ41 and 18 on the matrix or SQ61 and 18? SQ41 3rd due as an engine here aren't they?

L110 s/c as an extra truck above L104 Extra BC s/c as well, BN28 E226 act. E216

The response areas should be based on who is closest, not administrative responsibility. There's all kinds of battalion areas where one BN in administratively responsible and another BN is first due on the ticket

Thanks. Kind of interesting - this is an 8th Division box with R2. D8 in quarters with R5 - and D15 is closer to the box than R2. Hard to follow why it would be D8/R2 and not D8/R5 or D15/R2. Thoughts?
