The first due engines responsibility is to get water on the fire quickly and effectively. Getting a head start on the fire attack is crucial while other crews arrive, and secure water sources and deploy more hose lines, begin searches, ventilation, and ladders established.

Imagine getting alerted at 4:55am - waking up, getting your gear on, jumping into the engine, driving urgently to the scene, assess the situation, pull hose lines off the engine, get into the structure and start putting water on the fire and you’ve only been awake for about 10-12 minutes!! Great work crew!!
