Possible 3rd alarm at about 3 40?
Not that I heard. There was some odd traffic around that time (requesting that command call the central station, etc) but I didn’t hear any other alarms.
Ah I didn’t here anything on the scanner but I thought i heard sirens going down west washington towards town and i was thinking it could’ve been BTVFD Station 15 assisting.
