6 engines, 2 trucks, and 2 Battalion Chiefs in service per shift. When there is more than 1 OT spot required to fill the 34 spots, an engine will be placed out of service. Each day there is more than 2 openings requiring OT, therefore each day an engine is placed out of service. Currently only Engine 1, 5, and 6 are the rotated companies, so every 3rd day the same engine is closed. As a sad irony, Engine 6, the first due engine to the double LODD fire on Lakeview Rd was closed yesterday, 11/24; 2 months to the day from the fire. Engine 6 was also closed the day of the fatal fire.
