Yonkers Fire Dept. Recall

[Steve 78]

I have noticed that when Yonkers has a multiple alarm fire they recall members to operate spare trucks. Can anybody advise how this is done. Are members advise that they are on recall duty for a particular period or do they just go down a list. Also where do the members report when a recall takes place. If not there own firehouse, what do they do in regards to turnout gear.

They wont call the oncoming group. They go to their own quarters to P/U gear and then go to whatever house the spares are at and man them.
