always wondered do they keep calling for more eng. or is it just because we only have a couple of fireman on each eng.. sad to have to tie up all those trucks if it is just a manpower issue. Need more fireman to each fire station.

I think normally it is manpower issue - the ladder truck, which normally rolls with three men, will normally be dispatched to give a boost of help.

 

4-5 years ago when started listening to the scanner, they would roll two engines and the ladder truck on the first call of a fire. Now, unless there is a report of smoke and/or flames scene, the ladder truck and secondary engine is stagged in quarters.

 

Remember, when we approved the fire tax we'll have tons of new firefighters, right?
