This was not the normal first alarm assignment for this fire as companies were OOS for training of tied up on other calls. Both district chiefs were also unavailable at the start of this call. District 1 left a MVA truck rollover on I84 to respond to this fire. Mutual aid was also put on standby due to the fire and numerous other calls in the city at the same time.

Thank you, Pat. Was wondering were some companies, like Engine 8 were. Forgot to put that D1 responded from 84, and I believe T1 did as well.

Some great shots by the way, Pat! Sean(hartfordonfire) did nice work as well!
