Under the Fire Rescue Master Plan all Pumps (engine companies) are staffed with four firefighters as are Ladders (truck companies) and Rescues (exception of Rescue 21). Tenders/tankers are staffed with a

minimum of 2 firefighters. Stations with a single Pump were to be staffed with five firefighters. Hazmat 1 is staffed with a minimum of five, Hazmat 2 is cross staffed with the crew of Pump 10, Hazmat 3 is cross staffed with the crew of Ladder 10. ATP's are staffed with members assigned to the Ladder in their respective station, if the ATP is called the Ladder goes out of service. Mobile Command 1 is staffed by Rescue 21 and when called Rescue 21 will go to 4 members. The boat is also cross staffed by the crew of Rescue 21

In late August 2019 all Pumps were reduced to four firefighters in order to establish two additional Pump units in the downtown area. Located at stations 1 and 5 and identfied with the "A" suffix, this triggered a reassignment of units at downtown stations (1,2,5,22).
