[quote name='Ladder 68' post='158649' date='Oct 26 2007, 21:09 ']What are the different dispatch assignment for the PFD? And what types of companies are SOC (Spec Ops Command) companies, Squads/Rescue?

I'll only give the basic response for structure fires. Providing everything else would take up too much space.



Tactical Box - 2 engines 2 ladders 1 BC - response report of a house fire - can be upgraded to a full box - working fire gets 1 ladder as RIT, SOC company (squad or rescue), 1 medic unit



Box 4 engines 2 ladders 2 BC - response for larger structures, apartment bldgs, etc. - all hands gets 1 ladder as RIT, SOC companies - squad AND rescue, 1 medic unit, Deputy Chief, EMS officer



SOC companies are Squads 47 and 72, Rescue 1, Engine 78 at the Airport, the boats and the Haz Mat unit. Engine 78 does not leave the airport grounds.
