Why do so many people and trucks respond for just a small fire?
We never know how large a fire will be once we get our equipment and people to the scene of a call. We begin assessing the incident at the moment we are dispatched. We send the appropriate number of vehicles and people to manage an active fire. Once we get a person on scene, we will advise what additional manpower and equipment will be needed. If the fire isn’t large, we can always turn back any vehicles or personnel that won’t be needed.
