All purple K units are now trained in FIREICE
I haven't been to work in about a week now, but as of last wednesday morning the policy is as follows..
If the engine that is housed with the associated Purple K unit is 1st, 2nd or 3rd due on the report of a manhole, they are to respond with it... Should a 10-75 be transmitted 1 additional engine will be assigned. (box will go out with 3x2, with one of the units being a purple K unit, on the 10-75 a 4th engine and 5th engine would then be assigned)
on a box where the purple K is not normally assigned, when the IC states they have a manhole fire, they must be asked if they require a purple K unit for FIREICE...
As of last week, only the main units were trained, and the only ones who could be assigned... The back-ups were in the process of being trained, and from there I imagine the training will be expanded....
In starfire, the engine transporting the Purple K unit will have a designation of I for FIREICE..
so on the ticket it would look like
