Did anyone stop to think that maybe the photographers that are usually posting in here are either busy or maybe they are tired of posting pictures to have them criticized.

The Staatsburg Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire about 4pm this afternoon. On arrival they found a working house fire with heavy fire. Responding units from Staatsburg were assited on scene by Hillside, Hyde Park, Rhinebeck and Roosevelt. Tivoli and Roosevelt covered Staatsburg Stations with a engine each and another Rhinebeck engine was on stand-by in their own quarters during the fire. Staatsburg was also assisted at the scene by NDP Paramedics, Hyde Park Police and Hyde Park Fire Police.

The topic started here is to find out some direction of question in the Topic Title.
A little background on the subject, the other day a local Fire District was requested to respond to another District's firehouse for stand-by coverage on a relocate and the requested Department responded with only two individuals, a Driver & an Exterior/Support member, on the rig and were met at the Stand-by station by one of thier Asst. Chiefs... So, in reality what was this rig that relocated ready to handle should they had to go to a AFA, Structure Fire, MVC or even an EMS Call ???
So here are the questions this topic brings out that I would like to have some input from all you out there on.
Should an Engine or Truck when they are dipatched to a neighboring District for stand-by relocation coverage be staffed with just anyone?
Just a Driver?
or Fully Staffed with Qualified interior people in every seat?
and
Should they all come on the rig?
or Can you have Engine or Truck respond and have the proper personnel meet that rig in the relocate station?
and
Who Decides this?
The District being requested?
or The District Requesting the coverage?
What is your protocol and who decided it??
I welcome all and any comments and thoughts on this topic.
Thanks in advance..
