Responding Appliances

Scania_1:
Here`s a question for you. You are the OIC of a CFS appliance heading to a house fire. You are told that there have been mulitple calls and you have an appliance from another station responding also. You have minimal crew and only 2 BA operators, the other appliance responding has only one BA operator. You get there to find that the house is quite high and your ladders wont reach the roof and the house is burning well.
After hearing all this would you request a big red truck (BRT) to back you up?? Rembering that the crew of that appliance will have a big ladder and a crew of BA operators and that the BRT is only 5-10 minutes away and closer than any other CFS resources.
If you say no, you wouldnt request it I would ask you why not?

Pixie:
I would Every Time!! They are just sitting there constantly crewed

pumprescue:
even in the case i think old mate is talking about being retained BRT, I would send the BRT and if they have one a jet if it is well involved...but that would mean some vollies would have to swallow their pride.

bittenyakka:
I would call for the closest appliance avalible and if that happened to be a BRT then it would come along.

I would want it more for the BA operaters than the ladder.

Scania_1:
Members of the public dont really care what color the fire truck is. LOL
