For several incidents today, MCFD has dispatched a regular fire 
fighting response plus a numbered task force (I've heard Task Forces 
24 and 26).  These are evidently not fire fighting task forces.  (On 
the most recent incident, a fire in an electrical panel, the fire was 
declared out, half of the initial box alarm complement was returned, 
but the task force was held.)

Any idea what these task forces consist of, and their purpose?
