    I'm not really sure what is going on mid county, but I have been hearing 60 Control toning out for a certain dept in their neck of the woods for a commercial alarm. At first they toned out for a full crew but then they toned for a driver, which means someone had to ask for that specifically. Then 10 mins later 60 control is attempting to raise this dept via Trunk with no answer and having to go mutual aid to cover a commercial alarm. Did the person at this dept really just leave without handling this call? If thats the case this dept should be ashamed with itself. Scary part is that this particular dept responds to our County Executives residence...Oos did I give it away :o ...Hey I didnt say their name!!!! Thank God there are still some RELIABLE fire departments out there to cover the deficient one's tracks.

    Dont get mad...just pointing out an area that needs attention in this county.

    Not being a fireman, I really don't know the working and protocols of responding to a call. So I'm sorry if I say something here that you guys know is a stupid statement or question....

    I have a questions----

    1) Is it permissible for a volunteer fireman to go directly to the scene of the call in his or her own personal vehicle?

    I think this would save time for the fireman leaving his or her day job to go directly to the scene with the blue light flashing on their car. Might also let firemen further away have to abilty to just turn around and go back to their day job if a false alarm is declared.

    2) Is there a law that says you HAVE to have a certain number of people ON a truck or engine before it leaves the station?

    This could mean a driver can bring a truck or engine to the scene of the call and everyone just meet the truck there.

    Please don't all jump on me at once---haha----- but I just thought I'd add my 2 cents.
