Chief with the relocation of Rescue 1 to Sta.6 what is the status of the Rescues Ladder and Squad, did they go also and if not what is the staffing for those at Sta.1 ???



 

 

The 135" aerial is now assigned to the Squad Company as a special-call unit for target hazards. The Squad Company officer may elect to take it on any alarm where he feels it may be of use. The Squad Company still responds from Station 1, sharing those quarters with the newly formed Engine Company 1. Squad 1's normal complement is one officer and two firefighters. Their normal response vehicle is similar to all of our other EMS units, an extended-cab 4x4 chassis with a utility box. They carry a different compliment of equipment from the other EMS units, as their primary fireground assignment is vertical vent. They also carry a compliment of HRT equipment as a backup to our Rescue Company.

 

Engine Companies 6 & 7 were put out of service at 0800 this morning, and Engine Company 1 was placed in service. The times, they are a-changing.
