its great. the only thing is that you have to train your dispatch on it. now you wont have to worry about who you need to have soming while a hosue is buring up in front of you, you just pull which ever card you need and then dispatch should take care of the rest for you and you are more focused on what is going on around you.

We recently adapted Manassas as well. You are much busier but you get the resources to cycle at the scene to not exhaust any particular FD. This has lead to more training events with other departments. Good stuff!
