And the reason to repeat the rundown and history is??????? ??? ??? ???

 

[efd274]

Think of a news reporter on Ch 2, 4 or 7 - each person will report the same basic story a little differently sometimes with more or less information - it just affords the users of this site a different perspective. 

For example the Ex-Chief's report gives information on the fire building and the Exposures. There is no right or wrong way to do these rundowns - no two rundowns are going to be the same - afterall "variety is the spice of life"

I prefer the rundowns/reports where everything is written down, not just the basics.

If you dont like there being a rundown posted twice, dont read the second one. Many times someone will miss a company, or a transmission that someone else will pick up. How many times are first, second, or third due units O.O.S. for a number of different reasons? Not everyone picks up on that so I think if its available post 2 run downs or more for the same job. If it annoys you dont bother reading it.

I"m just glad we have people out there willing to give us these rundowns. "Thanks to all of you".
