From what I recall from another thread, it sounded like they are a sort of "demand" unit. Not necessarily in terms of being additional units for "peak" times, but more in terms of being able to move units to cover "depleted" areas without creating new ones.
If I'm not mistaken, all of Phoenix's engine companies are ALS.

Correct. I think they call them "Adaptive Response Units". From the Phoenix FD website...
Apparatus assigned to high-volume stations to provide additional resources in the area or provide move-up capabilities within the Dispatch Center. This means the apparatus moves geographically where needed to fill voids due to high activity, training or service repairs.
