My department would most likely have the 1st due do a LDH forward lay on the way in.

The attack sequence would probably be a 1.75 inch line on the Delta exposure and a deck pipe on the fire building.

The officer would likely pass command and assist with the exposure line.

The apparatus operator would charge the exposure line from the tank, then change over to water supply.

The hydrantman would operate the deck pipe after charging the LDH.

The 2nd engine would operate a 2nd exposure line on the Bravo exposure and their officer would establish command if the B/C was not yet on scene.

The truck would check the exposures for occupants. The 3rd due engine would establish the initial RIC and the medic would establish Medical/Rehab.

The 2nd engine officer would take Safety once the B/C arrived and assumed Command.

We would have at least one additional engine, two additional chiefs, the Emergency Management Coordinator (as Liaison), a PIO, and the Investigation Unit on this scene as well.
