What is a Fall Back Step #3 for Manhattan?

←

"FALLBACK - During times of heavy activity we implement Fallback to reduce the amount of apparatus assigned to an incident. This preserves unit availability. There are 3 steps:

Step 1 = No contact - no response to ERS boxes. This is in effect every day from 0800 to 2300 hours.

Step 2 = Step 1 and 1 engine reponse to mechanical boxes.

Step 3 = Step 2 and 1 engine, 1 ladder and a BC to all structural alarms"
