Posted December 4, 2018 That is a good idea to be more efficient. Is that rapid response ALS rig designated a "squad" in Phoenix? -Rescue51 https://www.fireapparatusmagazine.com/articles/pt/2018/11/in-unique-partnership-phoenix-fire-truck-housed-at-glendale-station.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 5, 2018 If they are staffing with 4, why not just put a reserve engine in there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 5, 2018 Kevin, my thoughts exactly. A medical squad is 2 people. If you're staffing 4, might as well use an engine so that you have fire attack capabilites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
