“No Name Required” It was a ” Family Dollar” store NOT a “Dollar General”.
Actually multiple engines and a ladder truck are dispatched to residential fires. I’m not really sure where you got your info from about only 1 truck going to those fires but its totally incorrect.
“Six separate stations dispatched to one location for a fire that wasn’t. But if it was a private residence only one would be dispatched.”
That is incorrect. Multiple stations are also dispatched to residential fires. The commercial fire does get a ladder truck that is not always on a residential dispatch.
Six separate stations dispatched to one location for a fire that wasn’t. But if it was a private residence only one would be dispatched. Waste of tax payer money. Hopefully Dollar General is sent the bill instead of putting it on already stressed tax payers.
