Apparatus Placement / Assignments

[Remember585 815]

I am trying to get some feedback on how your apparatus position & assignments on scene and the reason(s) why.

For example: 1st engine past the house stretching back, truck at a front corner, etc.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

Well we are pretty much the same as your example 1st due Engine passes the fire building,

The Truck in front of the fire building.

The 2nd due engine(crew) ties the 1st due engine into the hydrant,then either pumps to the 1st due or goes to the rear of the building if it can't take up the rear with the engine it will take one of the 3 sides since the number 1 side is already being handled.(depends on the situation)

The 3rd due engine,depends on whats going on and whats needed man power tools lights etc...

The rescue is there for support on what ever is needed extra bottles,hand tools,saws,tarps,fuel,water,etc...

The utility is used to run bottles to the firehouse or to pickup manpower etc...

Any working fire our 10-75 plan kicks in which takes care of our FASTeam, EMS, back filling our station etc...

Do my engine assignments work all the time? In a perfect world, and I don't think any of us live there... But it's nice when it works.

I hope this helps... And I'm open for your ideas and feedback...
