APPENDIX THREE: RISK ATTENDENCES
127
•
1. A risk: Three pumps will attend this category two to arrive within 5 minutes and the third
within 8. Typically, this area will have a concentration of large buildings such as
hotels, offices, factories or shops.
2. B risk: Two pumps will attend this category, one to arrive within 5 minutes and the second
within 8. Typically, this area will be similar to A risk, but less concentrated.
3. C risk: One pump should attend within 8-10 minutes. However, although not required to do
so most brigades send two pumps to all fires in buildings. Typically, this area is urban
housing where most lives are lost in fires.
4.
5. D risk: One pump should arrive within 20 minutes. As above most Brigades but not all will
send two appliances to fire-calls in buildings. Typically, this area will be sparse rural
but can include small villages.
6.
Special risk: In areas considered to be of high risk, such as hospitals, large industrial plants, and
airports then brigades may provide a special attendance, which may include special appliances such
as turntable ladders, hydraulic platforms, emergency tenders, foam tenders or fireboats
