to perform as a team leader: when hose team(s) requires the use of NFTI to advance and/or
when hoses(2) equipped with vari-nozzles are employed within the same compartment.
4Number of hosemen required is based on minimum manning for two 1 1/2 inch hoses. More
hosemen may be required based on compartment layout, length of hose run, and size of hose
employed.

assigned the function of scene leader, team leader, nozzleman, investigators, electrician and
overhaulman shall be qualified in its use.
6All personnel assigned shall be trained in performing basic first aid and burn treatment, and
at least one person should be trained in CPR.
