Air 1 will now be housed at Station 18 due to Station 12 being ‘browned out’ at times. This is to avoid the delay in response to a fireground, while waiting for another station to have a crew go pick up the unit. Station 18 has a cascade system which adds to the efficiency of this move. The equipment in the USAR 2 trailer has been consolidated into the F550, which created the room needed for Air 1 on the apparatus floor. Normally, one of the two Medic Units at Station 18 will be dispatched to crew Air 1.
Thank You
