There's more available water on the south side now than there was before the consolidation. Two of the tankers from the north side now sit in a south side fire station staffed 24/7. Anyone thats been around the old volunteer fire service in NHC saw what a volunteer response looked like and it wasn't anything to be proud of. The lack of qualified vollies responding to calls is a big part of how the consolidation was brought about.
The first fire on the south side after consolidation, crews made a successful save of a trapped occupant and his home, but you didn't mention that....why?
Swing and a miss
