Total BS.  We have a busy, large enough sandbox of our own to worry about.  
A battalion chief responds anytime more than one unit is toned out, In or Out of the city. Its basically the start of incident command and to protect the members.  So yes, any units out for a duration of time need to be replaced on recalls, including the chief.
When we receive a call for mutual aid, 9 times out of 10, we are requested to the scene.  Not just to cover the fire house.  Sometimes on arrival, the incident commander asks the chief for advice.  
 
So before you start spreading rumors, get the facts straight

guys and gals,  stop worrying about the pay  and steps  and work charts.  Focus on one thing at a time.  FAIL cpat  and you wont have to worry about anything else. Come to the test prepared or don't bother coming,  there are 300 people behind you on the list that will take your spot!!

At first you were worried about the pay too low, and now you say its "absurdly high",  you sound vey confused.  This is a type of job you don't want to be confused.
 Not trying to pick on you, its just there is thousands of people that would love to get the call.  Unfortunately most won't.  It took me 5 years and just about aged out.  Its kinda silly and selfish to be worried about the pay when that is something easily figured out with a lil research or time of actual job offer.  
 
Again, im not trying to come after you.  Its just in my experience, im seeing more and more guys come on the job for the wrong reasons and guys that deserve it get screwed.
 
Goodluck if you go foward.

I would assume it would be based on a case by case basis and the severity of the incident to which the IC would request mutual aid. Whenever yonkers responds to a call for mutual aid, they will recall manpower and staff spare units (truck, engine, battalion, etc.) to replace the ones on mutual aid. They will not leave the city without a rescue or squad. They could put Rescue 2 or squad 21 in service, if the incident is going to be long.

As far as, "it seems to be working" thats incorrect. I have been listening to the scanner since this situation unfolded and their response time has increased by 2-4 minutes at least. That is a huge problem, especially in cardiac related runs. It appears the calls still come in through YPD didpatch, then they get routed to 60 control which is apoarently causing the increase in response time. Also there has been alot of confusion and incorrect units dispatched to runs, then corrections which also cause more delays. Im not saying its 60 control or anybodys fault, but anytime response times are increased, thats a problem. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.

There are other ways the city can close the gap. They should not do it on the backs if the workers who keep the city running.

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying to do that however the problem i seem to face each time is most other departments have residents preferences first which really narrows down my options.
