Standard company staffing is generally as follows: a minimum <strong>of</strong> 25 personnel per shift in<br />

suppression. An Assistant Deputy Chief oversees each <strong>of</strong> the three divisions. The <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

<strong>of</strong> the Assistant Deputy Chief that oversees Division 6 is located in Huntington Park. 118<br />

As depicted in Table 6.7-1 above, staffing on each unit is as follows:<br />

• A 3-person company consists <strong>of</strong> a captain, a firefighter specialist, and a firefighter.<br />

• A 4-person company is staffed with a captain, a firefighter specialist, and two<br />

firefighters. On a paramedic engine company, the two firefighters are also<br />

paramedics<br />

• A light force (defined as two apparatus assigned together under one captain)<br />

contains two units (a truck and an engine) that respond in tandem. The truck is<br />

staffed with a captain, a firefighter specialist and two firefighters, and the engine on<br />

the light force is staffed with a firefighter specialist and one firefighter. Since Light<br />

Force 170 is an assessment unit, one <strong>of</strong> the firefighters is also a paramedic.<br />

• A paramedic squad has 2 firefighter paramedics.<br />
