I am not entirely sure of Riverdale and South Holland’s manning but I believe those are three. Harvey is most likely 3 and Cal City is either 3 or 4

Brian,
So both of Dolton’s engines run with 2. How about the others that are due?
#3 by Brian on October 16, 2014 - 11:29 PM
I do not but i am pretty sure minimum manning is 4 or. 5 and they are usually at min manning on a daily basis. That would be 2 each on the engine out of one and the engine out of two. They then got an engine from riverdale and truck from south holland on the still. Add minimal staffing to several dead hydrants on top of a vacant building and you get this incident.

Brian do you know the manning of each of the rigs that responded?
#6 by Brian on October 16, 2014 - 9:21 PM
They still have the truck but not the manning to run 2 engines and the truck with the south holland truck a/a. I dont think the funding came through for the new engine.

Looks like a great opportunity for a deck gun shot! Let the big water flow, baby!

O.K., I’m confused. Crestwood to the scene on the box?
