If people need to be put in their place tell me one mega city that runs fire companies with less than five. We can forget that manning was TA’d years ago and can’t be brought back up even by an arbitrator. Let’s see it’s FDNY and LAFD. LA runs a minimum of 6 on a light force 10 on a task force. Yes the engine on a task force can go on ems runs with four but so do we. FDNY runs with 5 firefighters one officer. That’s 6 members from our point of view. Yes I know FDNY doesn’t count officers as manpower and honestly we shouldn’t ethier safety and all. Now I know what you’re going to say Houston. Houston is like 10,000 suburbs combined and is a city in name only. They have a whopping 48 high rise buildings compared to our 1300. They aren’t like us. But they still run their rigs with four members and an ambulance that brings both rigs up to 5. So no there aren’t other big cities all over that do it with less. Sit down Replies:
