    Great Job to all who responded! Thank you to all the mutual aid, we can't do it without you!
    No, we didn't find it while out and about. The majority of our alarms are dispatched internally, and we are on our own frequency, so many of you don't hear us.
    The entire campus fire alarm system transmits to the fire house, and we self respond from there. A box alarm was received via the alarm system, immediately followed by a phone call on our internal fire phone.
    I was the first to arrive, with nothing showing, by receiving reports from evacuating residents of a fire on the #3 floor. First attack crew was in the fire room in less than 6 minutes, and radioed they had fire showing, resulting in the 10-75 via county radio.
    As a special treat this week- we are currently undergoing our tri-ennial inspection and evaluations from the VA Fire Service Program Manager, so the whole operation was evaluated by him!
    The box was transmitted 4 minutes before shift change, so there was 2 full crews in house at the time of the alarm, resulting in 11 personnel on scene, before mutual aid; a very rare occurrance!
    Quick knock-down, No civilian casulties, and only 1 very minor FF injury (cut finger)
    Again- Awesome job by everyone!
