Aurora, CO Rollover Cement Truck 12/28/13

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.
