One fire fighter(FF) is assigned Outside ventilation duties, another member is assigned as the Roofman. Other assignments include Ladder Company chauffeur, forcible entry F/F and finally The can man. The Can man carries a 6ft hook and a water can extinguisher 2 1/2 gallons. The officer on duty is in charge of these 5 fire fighters and they all have different assignments. How many other departments operate like this?
