Does it really matter what alarm level a town went to? (I’m not on either town). Every Dept. has different manning on their shifts, dept’s and apparatus in-service. How many first arrived, how much auto-aid comes in? What circumstances are involved; life, physical & chemical hazards, exposures, etc. There are many, many different factors. If you disagree with how a Dept is run, put in for Chief, Trustee or Board member and change it.

Someone is going to have to explain to me how this is a 2-11 fire and that small residence in LaGrange was a 3-11 fire? See LaGrange post: https://chicagoareafire.com/blog/2012/12/fatal-fire-in-lagrange-12-8-12/
