This meeting/transcript records a short fire training segment describing crew positions and assignments on a fire apparatus during a response. Instructors explained that four firefighters ride on the truck with assigned roles: nozzle operator, hose handler (riding the step and flaking hose), entry team (with irons, axe, Halligan), and a water-supply attendant who assists the engineer. The discussion noted that less-experienced firefighters may be paired with the driver to support water supply rather than make interior entry.
