You get paged to a domestic fire in the middle of the day. Your brigade is an urban rural 24 with 2 BA sets, 3 crew arrive 2 of which are BA and at least 1 who can drive. you should aotomatically be responding with another brigade.

as you don't think you will get any more and the middle of the day other brigades mays struggle with crews so you respond but call for another brigade due to low crew. this way you should end up with 3 truck s ~10 crew and ~6BA sets cant see any problems with that.

and on bad fire danger days that 14 with 2 or three guys may be in luck and stop a disaster but of course dont be stupid. (if your 14 is a QAV you can only hve 2 so it is reasonable)

fixed some spelling

SOPs....

structure fire.. 2 appliances, 3 persons does not qualify as a crew, therefore page another brigade to attend...
