I notice when a unit arrives, they announce what I assume is what direction they are parked. ( "E25 is at the person down, 123 wabash, were westbound")

Can someone explain the reason for the declaration. I would assume it's a fire tactical thing.

I just asked a Chicago firefighter friend - here is the answer:


Lots of one way streets. So ambo knows to come up behind us. Especially on fires. We sometimes go the wrong way. So we announce direction. Specifically stating. E94 is West bound on and east bound state. Truck knows to come up behind us on the wrong way. and all other rigs know which way we are facing. U don't have to really do it on medicals. They are just used to it
