'watch out; wires in street' ... from off duty fire officer at scene

'watch out engine 1; wires in street right next to you'

"Essex Red" is fireground radio channel ... that is 153.83 iirc ...
maybe for portables only ... sounds like the feed was hearing "Essex
Red" OK

sounds like the police answer the 911 phone and then wake up the
"house" man at fire HQ and he hits a pager tone set

working fire assignment might be = Beauport Ambulance with 1 ambulance
+ 1 Gloucester Engine + 1 Rockport Engine to cover

2nd alarm was Group 3 ish .. some confusion 2nd alarm vs working fire

gloucester fd went thru a big battle 10 to 15 years ago ... maybe they
switched to three 24 hour shifts ... maybe not ... maybe is four 24
hour shifts ... they try to staff 4 stations 24/7 ... HQ + BayView +
Magnolia + ?Western Ave? ... East station closed like 40 years ago
