Call
At 6pm a 911 call was placed and handled by the TVFD. They did an initial search after the family reported their child unaccounted for. No child was found. At this time we received the call for Squad one to lead an SAR operation. Within one minute they upgraded the alarm requesting a full Light Force Additional because of an oil leak that lead to a huge engulfment of the structure that they couldn't contain. LFA responded and child was found by unrequested ERT unit. BLS-1 took the child to the hospital for a checkup however only minor injuries reported
Minor injuries to child, rescued to ERT Hospital
Fire handled it mostly well. A little more OOC than I'd like to see, but other than that, fire and EMS were fine. Please note, unless you are requested, DO NOT respond. That goes for you Stabler, you showed up unrequested and found the child roaming, which full out made S-1's job pointless. From now on any unit that responds without requests (Police may respond for traffic control if units not already there, which there were 2 of!) then that unit will be put on a temporary suspension awaiting approval from their superior and COPA.

About the unit response: for police related calls, some times one squad is called. Another pd unit can go en route to back up the pd units. Example is an alarm, 1 pd dispatched, another goes enroute not requested, but just to help secure the scene.
Yeah, it sucked cause we just kinda sat there on the Squad.
I was thinking you guys were going in but you stayed out because of the strctural stability of the house. Oh well though. You will have your time to shine. 
It was a sorta good call though.
It was a sorta good call though.Yeah, it was a good call. Pretty fast and well done in my opinion. Nothing really we could do.
In regards to the police, only fire was called for mutual aid, the sherriff had everything else under control so we didn't need to occupy our units, so I said NO police, however what you said libor is generally correct
Right, just wanted to make sure people knew it wasn't for all calls and I did see no police.
Perfectly acceptable, I just wanted to make sure our lines didn't corss and cause an explosion
Sorry DC. I just thought you guys would need extra help. It won't happen again Sir.
Not a bad call, the police should always respond, not just for traffic, but for a report too. I think I have been watching too much EMERGENCY!
