We Provide 24/7 coverage. Our department has a two-person minimum with some shifts staffed with a third person as a "floater". Our firefighters are responsible for responding with one truck at a time based on the call for help. Should a medical call come in, the two members will take the ambulance (Rescue) and respond. This would leave the remaining apparatus unmanned until they return.
