    While the rundown shows many companies on scene, there is more to it than that.
    After looking at the numbers, it seems there were 3 Task Forces, 2 Light Force and the rest single engine companies.
    Lately, it seems that more ambulances are dispatched when there is a working fire. Most of the time, 1 or 2 will be dispatched as part of the initial assignment. I seem to recall that a EMS captain will be dispatched as well if 2 or more ambulances are dispatched.
    For the 2 USAR companies, only USAR 88 is manned with a crew of 2 (A/O and Captain I). USAR 27 is not manned but since they are closer, they station crew cross staffed it and brought it to the scene. From recent memory, it seems USAR 88 is being dispatched more often for the larger incidents.

     Most likely Seagrave will build the body and sends it to another company for installation of the interior. Depending on what communications/electronics equipment is specified, the 3 mil price tag may not be far off.
