https://youtu.be/GNZSDap2eyk - 30 minute video from July 2023 - tunnel
has sprinklers and fans and cameras - FD might have 2 to 4 people on
duty all times (guessing) - they can pick up a portal attendant to
augment the FD staff - there is spare PPE on the rigs for the extra
help - video shows one ton white attack truck then orange GMC "tug"
then orange Pierce pumper - fire bays are between the "bores" at the 2
entrances - not sure if they have an ambulance or not - all rigs have
scba and jaws - there are hydrants in the floor of the tunnel in the
roadway - there are 2 passagewyas between the 2 bores - there are fire
extinguishers mounted in red cabinets in both bores

white one ton truck has number 5000 5274 on rear and 70004326 on right door

tug number ends in 208

orange pierce pumper has number 70002064 on driver door

pierce pumper has PTO driven pump - maybe it can pump and roll

both staff members had portable radios with speaker mikes that seemed
to work perfectly

actually - not sure if the tug has jaws - need to recheck the video -
but the one ton and the pumper both had jaws

rigs have bls gear

pumper has original 1988 chrome flashlights that seem to be in perfect condition

very nice video - they handled an incident where a guy on a bicycle
drove thru the tunnel - they had to shut down the tunnel and send
three guys to chase him down - the tunnel is 2 miles long in each
direction
