Example text
In this situation, as already stated, you would need to respond with a minimum of two engines and two truck companies (or engine companies if you do not have trucks) dedicated to the search and rescue. If shoring or subsurface rescues need to be accomplished, you would need the addition of a technical rescue company. Each engine should have minimum of four firefighters staffing it. Remember, both engines need to take hydrants and be ready to flow water; this eliminates two firefighters from the mix.
