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!

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

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.
