I think "smoked" is saying that ECUA calls the Fire Department FIRST before they begin their smoke tests. That way, if someone sees smoke and dials 911, the dispatchers can let them know it's nothing to be alarmed about. ( When ECUA calls the fire departments, they give an exact location of the test. ) John, I’m confused by your response to the first comment.

People with cell phones will still call it in. I'm not saying I wouldn't do the same, but when there is obvious signs of people working(ECUA trucks, hoses going into manholes) then take just a second and look around. On the other side though, better safe then sorry! It doesn’t matter if they notify the fire department or not. People with cell phones will still call it in.

But it's procedure to notify the fire departments before the smoke gets pumped through the system. Otherwise they'd be chasing false alarms all day long.
