This from Steve Redick:
I left the “3 bagger” to take in this job. Engine 49 from a change asked for a box right away after they arrived. The building was undergoing some renovation as indicated by the scaffolding so a defensive stance was taken initially. Squad 1 wiggled the new rig into a tight spot. Not much to really see but a changing smoke condition based on the prevailing winds. I can’t think of the last time I left one job to take in another (except for Detroit).All the photos and video from the two fires can be seen here:

What’s a 3-bagger?

I’m guessing it’s been a long time since 49 and 59 have worked at the same fire.
