Aurora, CO Rollover Cement Truck 12/28/13

[Fire28]

Nice series of images, as usual.

 

In the first post, you said that a heavy rescue was placed on standby.  At the risk of sounding like a smart-aleck, what was the heavy rescue doing that they wouldn't have been ready to go right away?

 

Thanks!

 

 

 

Thanks!  I wondered the same thing actually, especially since this part of Aurora is so remote.  The heavy rescue is cross-staffed by Engine & Tower 8, both companies were available in quarters at the time 12 miles away from the accident location.  The Haz-Mat responded from Station 2 which is 15 miles away.

 

 

Could it of been a "Dispatch Center" thing so that both of the units assigned to cross staff it didnt end up on other runs leaving it unavailable. Thus assuring it could get out if needed?

 

Also I thought 14 has a new Quest Quint?
