It’s fog. 15E was called a short time ago to investigate the same issue on the Dartmouth side. No emergency

Well, as I've detailed on here many times, I think that is a crazy way to operate and it makes no sense. In terms of what the initial response should be, I would start by looking at how other jurisdictions operate, which I haven't reviewed extensively on this topic. That said,

Katrina Cr: it’s just a dryer vent, backup is returning. Final update

Katrina Cr: 6E on scene to nothing showing, checking

Katrina Cr: 6E first due to the 0-100 block, report of a possible house on fire
