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.

Thanks for the info. LA Co. had several houses that had 2 engines assigned to them. Second engine was used as a move up company when not running calls in their own district. Still have a few left though after a recently retired chief used most of them to open new houses. For example, former E273 was moved to form E126, when that station opened.
Thanks again,
