Somerville MA third alarm

[grumpy grizzly]

Somerville MA has transmitted the third alarm for a fire @ 30 Inner Belt Hwy for a fire in a laundry service establishment.

Somerville is a very good department and usually handles working fires and 2nd alarms without much help. Boston sends an engine for coverage on a 2nd. On a 3rd, SFD usually gets another engine and a district chief.

I believe that the third alarm was for extensive overhauling as well as for relief purposes.
