Description
1947 Fire Truck
My hoses are rotted, my ladders are tarnished. I used to scream around corners, horns blaring, blasting along to help put out the fires. Now I'm stuck in the weeds, someone even copped my copper baby extinguishers and messed up my hoses. I'm retired, leave me in peace.
Other departments staff their fire engines as emergency response units. The staged layout of fire stations and apparatus around a city means that a fire engine dispatched from its station may reach a medical emergency call faster than an ambulance coming from a hospital. Therefore, firefighters are trained as EMTs and paramedics. The usual complement includes 1 fire captain and a number of additional firefighters. The number of additional firefighters depends on the severity of the incidents it will respond to, the capacity of the fire truck in question, the nature of the call for assistance and the personal preference of the fire department. For example, a pumper truck might carry 1 captain, 2 FF/Es (Engineers) and 1 FF/P (paramedic). Both the captain and the engineers are trained as Emergency Medical Technicians.
