300 is numbering system they use for engines over 100 and its part of the light force. For example LF 102 is made of T102 and E302.[/quote]



The Light Force is comprised of a Truck manned by an A\O Capt and 3 FF's the 200 Engine is manned by an Engineer and 1 Firefighter

So a Light Force would be T4 and E204 when Engine 4 is added into the equation they become Task Force 4 , Engine 4 is manned by 1 Engineer, 1 Captain and 2 Firefighter's at a Station with a Task Force the Truck captain is in charge

When on a response the task force will respond in the following formation with the truck in front station engine behind the truck and 200 engine behind the station engine
