    8/7/23 Boston 4th Alarm Box 3524

    H1 is the duty safety chief, I think H2 is the air/light unit, and W12 is the air supply unit from the training division. The radio list I have is somewhat outdated.

    Red, White, and Blue...and Green

    The strobes are most likely in a clear housing with clear strobes firing during daylight and red at night, all controlled by a relay and a photo sensor.

    North Conway,NH Multi-Alarm Hotel Fire 4/30/2022

    A lot of mutual aid departments were requested for this fire. From what I've seen online, at least 27 fire departments were called.

    RAC unit question

    Hello all, How is the decision made to assign a RAC unit to an incident?  I know that there aren't enough to send to all incidents, but from reading incident rundowns here it seems to me like it is sort of random. Thanks!
