The duty crew will consist of a minimum of driverofficerIMS Level 1 and two firefighters. Duty crew participants with the exception of the driver shall be FF1 certified as well as SCBA MTFD WHITE TAG level. Juniors can participate in the duty crew as a fifth member if space is available and at the discretion of the officer. Duty crews will respond to all calls within Mantua Township.
