Great catch! I need to get on scene of a working fire but they always happen when I’m in school or it’s too far away.

[@Tr35uckfanProductions]

Thanks! Yeah, I just happened to be lucky enough to get on scene of this one first.

What does SJS stand for on the side of the rigs

[@Tr35uckfanProductions]

SJS is the 3 letter Firescope Designation for San Jose. All Fire Departments in the state of California have a 3 letter designator for when they go on mutual aid calls throughout the state. Like Santa Clara County is CNT (not an abbreviation for County), Milpitas is MLP, Santa Clara is SCC, Sunnyvale is SNY just to give out a few examples. It also corresponds with the CalFire Units like CalFire Santa Clara Unit (SCU) and CalFire Santa Cruz Unit (CZU).

Yeah like here in Alameda County Fire it’s ACF.
