--------------------------

Bottom line - all Boston FD and Chelsea FD responding units went to the staging area at the North Gate at 204 Prescott St in East Boston - except that BFD Marine Unit probably took a position off the runways - unknown if USCG responded

Bottom line - I dont know who ordered the 2nd alarm - neither Car 1 nor C6 ordered the 2nd alarm on the radio tape - perhaps it is SOP for the dispatchers to make box 646 a 2nd alarm very quickly
