This from D. Herndobler

On Thursday, December 5th, 2013 at approximately 1645 hours, companies from the 21st Battalion had a Still Alarm at 90th and Bell. Companies on the scene were Engines 121 and 129, Trucks 40 and 50 (spare rig) with Battalion 21. Battalion 20 and Truck 59 were RIT. The squad and van were held up at some point. I arrived behind Truck 50.

First truck. Truck 59 was a little further down the block and were leaving by the time I made it around to here. D. Herndpbler photo

Should’ve been first up, might’ve had an issue. Don’t know. D. Herndobler photo

Not much to see. Anyone know the story why 129 got the leadout instead of 121?
