Where was your hotel? It's funny, because Honolulu sends Ladders first up for medicals over Engines... most of the multi Company station Engines are far slower than their counterparts lol

Idk, prob some combo of 1970s logic "Well if there's a fire, we need the Engines available more than the Ladders" combined with "That's how we've always done it" and a dash of "Why *should* we change that?"

Why send a $500k engine when you can send a $1.5mm ladder?

So the ladder guys can go on a donut run when they clear?
Or it could be something as simple as the ladder has more room for medical equipment

After a long night at work, I think I should consider implementing a "code Dragon" for the express purpose of alerting all staff when a significant number of us are tired and draggin... Then again, maybe that might not be a good idea as management might get a little upset at us…
