I remember an article on Firehouse.com about FDNY starting a new rescue-medic program where the medics/EMTs actually assist in the rescues, allowing them to treat sooner. Don't have much information on it though.

The fire service doesn't need a standard, we need common sense. If you are being called mutual aid to the scene, you should have a full crew with 2+ interior firefighters AND an operator. If you are going to water source, that may be negotiable. Also depends on what type of apparatus you're being called for. Aerials and rescues require more crew than an engine, tanker, or brush.

I think more than a few people will fail just because some of the answer sheets went vertically and some went horizontally... tricky DCAS...

I notice 2 bays in the station, any special reason for this? Will the airport rig (currently E26) or the Prime Mover/Decon Trailer be moved out there or is it being kept as a spare bay?

Back on the topic of response time in the Milltown Road area, I can see the Chief's point. At the last structure fire I remember on Milltown in Brewster's district a First Lieutenant from New Fairfield got there approximately the same time as the first-due engine did, so their response time in that area is a bit lacking. Sure, New Fairfield, King Street, Mill Plain, and DFD E25 are in the area, but insurance doesn't go down for mutual aid unless its automatic. The firehouse can definitely be justfied in my opinion. I only wish more of us could get land donated by the insurance industry...
