Train derailment, flood, chemical spill the Guard is there for some part of it. There’s usually a mention of it on local news but rarely video.

I don’t know how that works. Is there a scale of on call or is it just out of the blue? Drop everything and report.

My late FIL worked in the railroad. He had scheduled work but even on his off time he was on call. 1-4 maybe 5 I think. A 1 was sit by the phone and don’t make any plans. 3 was eh but 4-5 was very little chance.
