All RRV Units. This second rig will be staffed with 2 FF and a boss and the engines have the 5th man tonight as well.

Numerous ambulances and Conditions cars are getting stuck all over the city. Communications are on EMS Citywide 2 and truck companies are being called to assist. One unit just reported they've been there for almost 6 hours, looking for an update on the tow truck. Also according to Twitter, the dispatcher advised that units that are stuck in the snow must get out every 20 minutes and check for clear exhaust.
