Chief, thanks as always for the detailed answers. I have one question, what were the roles of Squad 1 and 2 in the era pictured? I know Squad 1 now is the "roof" company, but what did they do as an engine? And did Squad 1 & 2 run together?

 

As originally initiated, the duties of the Squad Company were (1) to advance a line above the fire, the initial attack line and its backup already having been deployed by the engine companies, and (2) Vertical vent. Squad 1 and 2 responded together.
