Water Supply Engine Companies may be staffed with driver only or fully staffed depending on the needs of the Department. This photo shows a day when three water supply engines (drivers only), a mutual aid tanker from Dunkirk, MD, and a battalion chief made up a Water Supply Strike Team to augment structure fire assignments in northeast DC during a period of low water pressure. A CSU unit filled out the manpower requirements. Photo on Engine 12’s apron, 2007
