Yes, that’s right. …
Yes, that’s right. It was two different calls. While my scanner was on the medical channel, I suspect that dispatches were “stacking” … meaning that E10 knew they had a run a minute or two before the Locution audible came out. That’s why both bay doors opened at the same time.

That’s probly why it seemed so slow, just because there was probly another call. I’m thinkin that’s what’s it

The call actually …
The call actually wasn’t even dispatched until about 20 seconds after the ladder left. I think what happened was there was a 911 call in the area and they knew they were going to be dispatched. Ladder’s dispatch time was a bit slow.

I think the …
I think the response time for the Ladder was okay.
The truck would get in trouble in Germany, because all trucks and ladders have to respond in 1 minute.
