Thanks Wayne, We have yet to have an automatic Tender response on Structure Fire calls, the 1st Due Officer or our Chief calls for them upon confirmation of a working fire. We go one step further at our Station & have them toned out even before we...
Anumber of years back we had on our Mutual Aid running cards on a second alarm a 5&5 ( 5 tankers{oops TENDERS} and 5 engines) many of the engines" were and are" PUMPER/ TENDER type so we've got both worlds. But with more Aerial APPS available and ...
We are in a somewhat similar situation, as an Officer if I am in the lead Engine or we get a confirmation of a working fire, we ask for a minimum of 3 Tenders to be toned out as soon as possible due to distances that separate our Stations.
I agree...

- Just dropping a note that our Station is again sending three people to FDIC this year. After last year's incredible experience that I was fortunate to be a part of, myself along with the other two who attended strongly believe in the huge benefits of FDIC. The training & networking are second to none, one of the greatest thrills of my life was seeing & hearing Bobby Halton & Chief Billy Goldfeder speak. Our people came back better firefighter's because of FDIC & knowledge passed on to us.

David Ebel said… - Greetings,
Please allow me to invite you to a site designed by responders for responders... the crew that is doing it is CISM multilevel trained and are there for the guys after the bad calls. It helps the responders that do not yet have a team or would be worried that they asking for help would be seen as weakness. Please join and share it when you can. As a chaplain with over 25 years of service to fire departments I am excited with it's potential to provide support.

- Was proud to say how much I enjoyed FDIC this year & the tremendous knowledge I received from the numerous classroom sessions I attended. If you get the chance-GO!
It was the best experience I have have had.
