    Then L-42 should be on automatic response and not wait till we see if we need it. Once the engines arrive it is often too late to get a truck in.

    Lets try to remember that sometimes friends or family read what is posted here. I do not think they would like to hear it was a "good" burn....maybe a good stop would be better.

    Seth didnt say those onscene didnt work well, he pointed out that there needs to be better preplanning as can be seen by having to ask for L-42 and the timeline below.

    I'm going to assume that when Ossining was called (15:56) that it was for a working fire. If thats the case "FAST" should be automatic, not wait another 14 minutes to dispatch. Also why wait 35 minutes to call for ALS to the scene, if a FF goes down, you want it there as soon as its a working fire and again that should be automatic with FAST.

    Finally, 57 minutes to move up units to cover, again it should be automatic for a working fire, particularly in the heat.

    just for the record, it was L41
