[quote name='R1SmokeEater' post='153046' date='Oct 2 2007, 07:51 ']-How do they run this thing ? Is it a special called apparatus w/cross staffing, or a fully manned company that runs on all fires/etc. like the Rescue Co's here in the Northeast ?[/quote]



USAR 71 like all the USAR's on the Verdugo system is cross staffed, The crew of Truck 71 wii switch over and bring the USAR to an incident, Right now the USAR's respond only on USAR Incidents trench rescues, high angle rescue etc there is no policy in place yet for the USAR's to respond on fires but can respond if needed, LA County USAR's will respond on 1st alarm structure fire's if its in there Engine co's first in district or on 2nd alarm fires
