Who carries the tools if the Squad is OOS?

[zip992]

We put the jaws and a set of cutters on Engine 2, because Squad 2 is 10-7. By right the Truck Companys carry jaws and cutters also, but it was 10-7 that evening.

[herndblr]

Ok, thanks, what is 10-7? OOS?

[spde114]

correct

[zip992]

Sorry, yes 10-7 is our term for out of service. In this case OOS due to manpower shortage thanks to Mayor Clay. Just 4 Engines and 1 Truck in the city that night!

Was that the accident wheer the driver was from Hobart?

[mabas21]

I honestly have no idea, the accident just happened this weekend and I did not see it posted on the news or papers.

Found the article at the Post Tribune and yes it was the same accident.
