996.12I got re-assigned!!!!SUBPAC::BJUBINVILLECMP-6 Equipment EngineeringWed Feb 05 1997 01:5412
    

         Well...  at one point, our department was down 3 captains
     and 4 Luit.  Right now we have (6) primary trucks, (1) ladder,
     (4) engines and a heavy rescue Squad that are fully manned.  We have
     another (9) vehicles that are misc. uses (2 amlb.).  The Chief
     put a Capt. and a  Luit. on every truck.  I was assigned to the
     ladder and the Squad on a temp duty.  I'm just assigned to the
     Squad now.  All my gear and personal clothing has L-1 or LADDER #1
     all over it.  Now I have to go and change everything.

996.13Rotation of crewsSUBSYS::HOPEWELLStorageWorks for PC LansWed Feb 05 1997 08:299
In West Boylston we rotate officers and crews about every 2 years. I believe
that this gives everyone a well rounded education. In a call dept you have to
know how to do all the jobs. It also keeps peoples interest if they have to
learn something new once and awhile. I have been an engine Lt. and a rescue
Lt. When I rotate to another truck I will also get a different crew. Seems to
work for us.

996.14do this.... do that...SUBPAC::BJUBINVILLECMP-6 Equipment EngineeringWed Feb 05 1997 20:1210
    
    
        re-1  our department is big enough where we really don't have to
      do any formal rotation.  During the day however, we are always short
      handed and I'm always on different trucks.  That's just because I 
      work nights so I can go to all of the daytime calls.  From 5pm until 
      7am in the morning, you can only respond when yopur truck is toned
      out.

996.15Driver on everything!CAM::SCHIESSLThu Feb 20 1997 14:327
    
    We do not have any assignments.  Being in a small town, we don't have
    that many people responding to calls (especially during the day). 
    
    You just do whatever needs to be done.
