  Thanks goes to Tyler Tobolt (Squad5 on RM911) from Tri-State Fire Alerts for compiling that list.

  I believe the Westmont engine was coming out of the Morton Park firehouse. The Melrose Park engine was coming out of the closer house and, I believe, was first in.

  Especially one that is well involved on arrival with an exposure about to go too.

  Westmont engine was first due at the 2-11 (second fire). Imagine being assigned to the Westmont rig that day. Last thing you’d ever think is you would be first arriving apparatus at a fire in Cicero!

  I forgot to add Stickney Engine on that list, I still have to go through the recording more and see if I missed anything but thats about 98% correct.

  The 2nd fire went to a 2-11. Coq companies arrived first. Box card was filled with returning companies from this fire

  The run down was great. When it’s stated an engine replaced another, is the assumption that those engines were unavailable and/or on another call?

  There was supposedly another fire in Cicero that night. Any idea how that was handled my mutual aid?

  Bedford Park Snorkel is 705
