The City of Charlotte answers every call within its city limits. There are no volunteer response areas inside the city limits. The city will utilize the volunteer departments for mutual aid etc. The last plane crash took most of the Westside companies to the airport (3rd Alarm) and they used volunteers for move-ups etc. Most of the mutual aid calls are for brush trucks or tankers. The city only runs two Heavy Rescues and when both are tied up they will call for Newell's Heavy Rescue on the North East side of the city.
