Thanks chief I thought so.
When I listened it sounded like only certain companies in this county could perform this duty which sounded odd to me.
In the metro area I am from any department performs this function and usually has a certain truck that is first out for this specific job function. In out county a structure fire gets the first due department full response (each departmant has 1 to 4 stations most only 1) and then the second due department with a task force which is in a non hydranted area is a engine and a tanker with 6-8 ff with at least 1 officer. In a hydranted area it is a engine or a truck co or a rescue with 6-8 ff with at least 1 officer. upon a working fire confirmed a third department is dispatched as the R.I.T. company.
