Water Supply units operate as a two-piece engine company. Upon receipt of an alarm requesting a Water Supply Engine, the regular engine company assigned to that station will split their personnel; one firefighter and the officer will respond on the regularly assigned apparatus (i.e. Engine 3) and the remaining two firefighters will respond on the Water Supply Engine (i.e. Engine 52). The two engines respond in tandem and retain their original radio designation (i.e. Engine 3 and Engine 52).
