Either there gonna get a hold on this or this is going to be the first alarm that went above 5 alarms since 2021.

Cant Go Above A 5th Alarm Anymore, All Units Above The 5th Alarm Are s/c'ed.

Forgot about that policy. Still doesn't stop the IC from s/c'ing a 6th alarm worth of appratus.

Sure, but there have been fires since 2021 where that happened

 

[FFM1938]

Sure sounds like a tough job. Thats a lot of apartments to lose just prior to Christmas. Hopefully everybody stays safe

I believe the blue screen on the DD's console in PSAC still goes up to 10 alarms for each box . Just push one button......

Correct

 

[alycidon]

Looking at the number of Special Calls after the 5th was transmitted, this proberly would be a 6th Alarm in the old mobilisation .

All subsequent alarms, add:

4 engines 2 ladders 1 battalion

 

[rangermsg1]

With the latest s/c, equivalent of at least a 7th Alarm

 

[Agentblack]

I thought that if more than 4 engines are requested, the alert level is automatically raised or is that no longer the case?

As mentioned above, department policy changed to max 5th alarm. Everything above that is special called but the box stays a 5th Alarm

 

[dan]

As of now there are 29 engines, 21 trucks and 14 BC's on scene.....to many special units and staff to mention or care about
