Well, sort of. We got called last night around 9:30pm for an auto alarm at the Hospital. On the way to the station, dispatch said they were upgrading it to a first alarm building fire, with something happening in an elevator shaft. I rode in on engine 2, (full sirens; gotta admit, it's a rush). We got there, staged, and waited. As a side job, chief had us check the mulch around the parking lot, as he'd smelled something when he came in. (One guy guessed it was his brakes burning...).
Other things of note: a mutual aid engine responded as well, and left first, but staged at a neighboring station to cover. The text messages I got showed we were first paged for engine 2, then engine 1 when it upgraded, but 1 was first out, then us on 2, then both squads (we've got a smaller pickup squad truck as well, squad 2, maybe? when I mention "squad", I usually mean the bigger one, which would be squad 1) and traffic as well.
After maybe 30 mins, we and squad got released, but engine 1 stuck around, as apparently a sprinkler head opened, and they needed to have the elevator shaft pumped out. So I assume there was something in there, but I stayed outside, and saw nothing.
