It's a good thing the local High Angle rescue teams practice off these bridges

I saw Marlboro FD was called to the scene, seems a little far for them, maybe 38FF will see this and answer, if not, what brings them to the scene?

Not far at all. Marlboro is the next fire district to the north. They were used for stand-by in Middle Hope

Oh, coverage makes sense. I just used to live in Marlboro, so seemed far for them to actually go to the scene when you have Middle Hope Stations 1 and 2, all the Newburgh Departments and Beacon right there. I was curious to know if maybe Marlboro started some type of Tech Rescue Team or something that would have had them S/C'd to the bridge.

Marlboro went to Middle Hope St. 2 for stand by

Yes, Marlboro was called for standby at MH station 2 for general coverage. We have no tech rescue team or anything like that. I enjoyed checking out their Antique Mack they had in the bay until they released us. When we are called to stand by for MH, we now go to station 2, as our mutual aid engine's hose bed was modified and no longer fit height wise in station 1.
