Their job is to assess the scene, direct resources, be a single point of contact for dispatch. They are ultimately the one responsible for the overall scene management.1 Tanker Operator - This individual is responsible for giving water from the tanker to the engines during the initial attack. If a prolonged incident, they will setup a dump tank (think portable above ground pool) so the engine can siphon that water. They will shuttle back and forth to a hydrant.4 Firefighting - These crews are responsible for initial attack and control of the fire. This includes pulling hoses from the engines and entering the structure. They are also responsible for searching and rescuing victims. They will also work to secure utilities as time allows.The above scenario is standard when all of our units are in service and fully staffed. Mutual aid resources are also instrumental in assisting our staff in ensuring safe operations on the fire ground. ... See MoreSee Less
