Larry,
from what I've been told, Squad-47 will have a dedicated lieutanent and driver engineer, the rest of the staffing will rendezvous from other companies.

As it currently stands, the Squad will only have a driver, with Engine 47 and Rescue 47 being staffed by TRT members, to make a total of 6 TRT members on duty. Any additional staffing above minimum will be used to allocate additional personnel to have at least 2 on the squad. Basically, they are eliminating Support 88 from service, and replacing it with this, so no additional staff are being hired, etc...just reallocated.
Also, as part of implementing the squad into service and TRT to station 47, station 49 now runs the Marine Team, still handling all dive and fireboat calls. However, E49 R49 L13 no longer will handle rope, extrication, etc type calls as part of the TRT team, with those duties being transferred to 47.
