Thursday night test - all done at 611PM - I caught - ?Warner FD - Peru FD - Richmond FD - Sheffield FD - Sheffield EMS - Sheffield Chief - Stockbridge FD - Stockbridge EMS - maybe this was a Thursday night test for P thru S departments

Monday night test was for Adams, Becket, Blandford, and Cheshire - me thinks they test alphabetically thru the weekdays - they use multiple towers also - County Tower and Lanford?
