@firtog what do the alarms mean like 1 2 3 4

[firtog]

@futurechef36 they are alarm boxes each alarm determines what units and how much manpower will be responding - like a 1st alarm fire might be 3 engines 1 truck and 1 bc once those units are on location they may request additional help by stating to strike a 2nd alarm with in most cases bring 2 more engines and another truck
