The arrangment that is in place is that for any 2 station response or second alarm All three are mobilised.
In the case of a two station call ( ie house t/a ), if we arrive before hope valley then they are stood down. If they are there first they get stood down on our arrival unless there assistance is still required as well ( this frees them up to return to there primary area and standbye for rocky as well ). We`can also get stood down on route as well.
This is generally the same for grassies as well. Alot of the time 1st will specifically ask for the gpa and lt's as they did for the calls on sat. Saves the unecessary waste of scanias sitting on the side of the road.
Malaga were en route to a firecall outside their area, when a fire was reported in their area.
Malaga from 6AR: Malaga can you please proceed to *location of new fire, can't remember* and then proceed to *original fire*
Malaga: We're Malaga we can do anything!
6AR: ...right. thankyou.
I had a good laugh at the time, still chuckle about it now
