AS MANY AS THE DEPARTMENT CAN AFFORD, YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TO MANY IN MY EYES

Ben Waller replied to Candy Cane's discussion 'firefighters'
That depends on the number of units assigned to the station, whether the department is career, volunteer, or a mix, and on manpower availability. Typical staffing for career departments is 2 per ambulance/medic, 3 or 4 on an engine, 3 or 4 on a t...

FETC replied to Candy Cane's discussion 'firefighters'
They make companies that can provide you with accurate information on how many personnell should be on duty at the station. This study is far from asking a lame question as posed here. There are too many factors that are involved with the study to...

We are a vollie dept so no one. LOL However our tax payers did vote for FT EMS service for the dist. Maybe some day we will have FT ff's there but not holding my breathe.

Tony P replied to Candy Cane's discussion 'firefighters'
I'll differ from the preceeding posts. In most cases I don't see how you can have people "at the station at all times". If there's a call, they'll probably all be out at it. Now if you're asking how many should be rostered on duty in any shift at...

Capt. Mick replied to Candy Cane's discussion 'firefighters'
I also have to agree with Jay, however we have just three men at the station that are paid, a engineer, officer, and a firemen, and we only work a 8 hour shift, 8 to 4, Mon. thru Fri.

Jake Fireman replied to Candy Cane's discussion 'firefighters'
Jay is right. It depends on what your city/ounty can afford, how busy you are etc. My departments staffs 3 on the engine, 4 on the truck and 2 on the "box". I would love it if the engine was 4 and the truck was 5. Full staffing is always better as...

Jay Nicholson replied to Candy Cane's discussion 'firefighters'
The more the merrier. But it really boils down to how much you can pay for. My city runs 2 3-man engine companies with a private EMS service providing paramedic services. Would I like to see 4-man staffing? Absolutely. But at the very least, that ...
