In <br />order to mitigate incidents, you need properly trained staff of emergency responders with the <br />proper equipment and apparatus to respond. Insufficient staffing increases the risk of injury to <br />all involved with the incident and will decrease the effectiveness of the response. <br />Responding to a fire incident, the department needs 15 to 16 responders in various roles on the <br />scene to make an interior attack. The 15 to 16 responders all have specific roles to play on the <br />incident scene and should be paged in the first alarm. Please see the illustration below for a <br />breakdown of the roles.
