Introduction
The city's dispatch center uses a divided list of each type of apparatus in service, which is used when dispatching units for certain situations. The system has proven to be efficient.
Engines
DBF runs 3 different types of engines, each having their own purposes.
Type 1: Hose wagons. These pumpers aren't much to brag about. They are first due to calls.
Type 2: Standard pumpers. These pumpers are more powerful and carry more equipment than wagons. These would be first due to structure fires.
Type 3: Rescue pumpers. They are capable of engine duties and vehicle rescue. They run third due to structure calls. Some can be used for RIT.

Aerials
There are obviously different types of aerial trucks. Aerial height is chosen upon purchase based on the size of buildings in a truck's coverage area. Dayville has _ types of aerials
Type 1: Telesquirt ladders. They are just engines with aerial ladders, and aren't too common in the district. These are all under 75'
Type 2: Regular ladder trucks. They do not include pumps. 75' ladders are not included in this type.
Type 3: Quints. These are the ladders with pumps and tanks with at least 75' ladder length.
Type 4: Platform aerials. These are basically ladders with buckets on them.
Type 5: Platform quints. They're just quints with a bucket on the ladder.
Type 6: Tiller Ladders. We all know what they are. And we all know what they're for. Case closed.
Type 7: Tower Ladders. Preferably, we use aerialscopes for this type. These have the cababilty of any platform aerial, but can be used for low angle rescue.
