We didn't lose much in manpower but we lost the ability for engine company's to operate independent on a fire. When there was a fire with two piece operation you had two engines with a independent water supply on side 1 and two on side 3. Now you have only one on each side. The third and fourth due company's are for water supply for the first and second due.
