mack is correct. A 5th in Boston usually gets 3 & 2 w/a Rescue and a Dist. on the Box, 1 & 1 w/a Dist. and the Rehab. Unit on the R.I.T./Rehab Assignment. 3 & 1 w/2 Dist's(1 for Act.), a Deputy, the Safety Chief, and the Air Supply Unit on the 2nd. 2 & 1 w/the Special Unit, Field/Tac. Comm. Unit, and a P.I.O. on the 3rd. 2 Engines on the 4th, and 2 & 1 on the 5th. Thus, 13 Engines, 6 Ladders, and 1 Rescue at least should be operating.

Nice to hear you Mack E-42 orders all members to evacuate because of structural collapse. E-4 is not in a good position, get them out!!!
