BC=Battalion commander??

Looks like a lot of "BCs" involved. ... and Winter Springs has a BC committed but no other working units?

Just curious

You are correct about the BC part (though Seminole call's them Battalion Chief's, same meaning as a Battalion Commander)

They are dispatching units from Orange County, so they do not exhaust the remaining Seminole County and city units still in normal service. Truck 81 from OC is now coming since Seminole County has exhausted it's aerials (T12 is out of service and operating in a spare engine as T112. T25, and T27 were doing Aerial operations, and T31 was doing ground ops).
