BC58’s initial report of 1 extra BC and 4 trucks… it’s almost as if the chiefs and units of the area know exactly what they need when this happens. Like anything else, the more you do it the better you get at it. In this case, it’s quite often.

Not 100% Sure, But I Believe The 3-9 Is The 2nd Due BC There.

Is that a special box number the Dispatcher uses?

He ordered the same yesterday. 1 BC and 4 trucks. Probably just an SOP but maybe not an automatic one
