Posted August 26, 2019 Hi Hope I find you all well. If I may a quick question about stations that run patrols. I often hear patrols been sent as part of the response to runs such as medical runs etc ie: Engine Squad Patrol 107 difficulty breathing etc... Couple of questions, do 2 of the engine crew stay on the engine and the third FF drives the patrol or are stations with patrols 4 FF engines? Secondly do patrols respond with the engines all year round or just in high fire seasons? Many Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 26, 2019 The patrols are staffed by a single ff/emt. They respond as manpower. LACoFD has a mixture of 3 to 4 man engine companies. As far as what dictates rather the engine is a 3 man or 4 man I’m not sure 100 percent. I know one factor is with like the co tract cities and how much staffing they are willing to pay for.
