Posted August 15, 2020 If memory serves correct, I believe its 7 engines, as well as, 1 squad, and at least 1 Superintendent (if not more) on the first alarm, in addition to what you have listed. The Super Scoopers are only a seasonal, limited-time period contract resource, generally starting around September 1st through the end of the critical fire season.

Correct for an “Augmented Brush Response”. AUGMENTED BRUSH RESPONSE 1ST ALARM 2ND ALARM 3RD ALARM 7 ENGINES 5 ENGINES 4 CAMP CREWS 4 CAMP CREWS 3 SUPERINTENDENTS 1 WATER TENDER 3 HELOS (2 W/CREWS) 1 DOZER TEAM 1 DOZER TEAM 1 CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISOR 1 WATER TENDER 1 SQUAD 1 PATROL 1 HELITENDER 2 BATTALION CHIEFS 1 HELITANKER 2 SUPER SCOOPERS (when available) 1 BATTALION CHIEF 1 ASSISTANT CHIEF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 19, 2020 SO, currently, 1 Squad is and has been for awhile now, dispatched on the 1st alarm assignment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
