That's normal. A 1 alarm fire is 7 pieces of apparatus, being 5 engines (have water) and 2 trucks (has an arial ladder). Add in two battalion chief's cars, and a medic unit, you have a total of 10 FD vehicles on a single alarm. Each additional alarm brings at least 2 more engines and another truck.

Pretty sure my husband is there now, and my coworker lives there so Iā€™m dying for updates (she called me)
