The squads at that time were at 11, 12, 24, 28, and 33. A first alarm anywhere in the city except the "Golden Triangle" and Oakland was 3 engines, 2 trucks a squad and a battalion chief. In the Golden Triangle and Oakland 4 engines, 2 trucks, 1 squad, 1 battalion chief, and the deputy chief responded. After yet another reorganization, the squads were eliminated, Engines 1, 14, and 33 eliminated. Trucks 1, 5, 7, 15, 18, 23, 27, 35, and 39. The quints went in service at 18, 23, and 27. The engines have 4, the trucks 4 and quints 4.[/quote]
