But even worse, while that was happening Buckley says the ladder truck missed calls that it should have been first to respond to. The city told Boston 25 News there were eight medical calls and two accidents the ladder truck wasn't able to respond to, forcing stations from farther away to pick up the calls.
"That half of the city isn't covered by the ladder truck. So it delays a ladder truck response. If it's a car accident or a fire... it delays the response," said Buckley.

Burke Speaks - the witch: “It is imperative that the public be aware that during the brief time when Ladder 1 was used to assist in the hanging of decorations, all calls were promptly answered by other city department fire apparatus and among them responding was Ladder 2,” Burke wrote in a statement. “There were six available fire apparatus and Armstrong Ambulance within our city. At no time did a call go unanswered.” http://medford.wickedlocal.com/news/20181130/city-administration-responds-to-story-on-medford-fire-trucks
