Does Rescue 2 have assigned responses? I here R2 dispatched on entrapment repsonses and I would guess that R2 responds to all multiple alarms. I also here the unit picking responses when there aren't any other rescue units available.
Beyond those situations, when is Rescue 2 dispatched?

Rescue 2 is dispatched on:
2 Alarm Fires Entrapment / Technical Rescues Aircraft Emergency Landing Hazmat Runs Fumes w/ Sick Person S.W.A.T. Stand-By
and if I remember correctly, some if not all River Emergency Runs / River Drownings
I know that before all of the current Paramedic Engines were created, anytime that there were NO Rescue Units available, Rescue 2 would be dispatched as well as an Ambulance Unit. Then if ALS was required, Rescue 2's Paramedic would transport with the Ambulance. I don't know the current procedure for this.

I just checked the CFD Dispatch Procedures. Rescue 2 is also dispatched to:
Major gasoline spill (25 gallons or more)
Anytime that Air Care is requested
Anytime that 3 or more EMS Transports are requested at an incident

If a second EMS field supervisor is added will the responsibilities be the same or will there be an increase in responses since there will be an additional officer available?
