@Gleyen to an automatic fire alarm and reported strucutre fires we always send 2 Engines, 1 Aerial, 1 Command and 1 Chief. In case of big emergencies that convoy is extended with one more Aerial, Tanker and/or Container truck (all of them from the main fire station), or we get supported by one or two companies from the Volunteer FD. But thatfor it doesn't has to burn the whole city ^^

@DanAugust32 Hey you saw it right..... thats the purpose lol

[vwecco1]

Notice the white car and white van... typical idiots that simply freeze when an emergency vehicle comes near them.... they could not back up some, or move aside and give more space for these massive trucks to get through.... ??!!

@Gleyen That's a typical response to a structure fire in a smaller town. If they only have 3-4 guys per truck, that's only 12-16 firefighters not counting the chief. My dept. sends 3 engines, 2 ladders, 1 heavy rescue, 1 medic and a chief on structure fires. If it's a working fire, they add an engine, ladder, medic and safety officer unless it's a small structure and the chief cancels them. (garage, trailer) When FF's get trapped you only have seconds to get them out, help has to be on scene.

@EnjoyFirefighting People still run into the backs of apparatus with the NFPA compliant reflective chevrons AND lights flashing. There's no color combination known to man that can overcome the power of stupid.

[EnjoyFirefighting]

@ffjsb of course LEDs are very powerful, but even when they are on scene and switched the lights off they should be a kind if visible

two pumpers, two ladders, and a battalion truck. what the fuck was burning down, the whole town?
