Each agency has its own set of policies and regulations. For example, a smoke investigation of a residence is an automatic full structure response at my agency. The current requirements for that is a Battalion Chief and 1 engine. Per our policy we would send 1 BC, 3 engines, 1 water tender, and 1 light and air. As someone who's new to dispatching, it would be nice to be able to make the mission requirements line up with my agency's policy.
