Dispatch thru automation is 5 engines, 2 truck s, a Squad/TSU, 2 BFC, a Medic Unit & Ambo.
WFD=1 added engine, 1 additional truck, DFC/OPS, SAFO, FIU, etc.

Okay besides all 1st-5th due engines stand by a water supply/hydrant, whats the fourth thru 6th due engines duties, etc. Can someone point me in right direction for research project please?

If you are asking for Washington DC fire specifically, I'm sure their public information folks can answer your questions.

If this is a generic question applicable to all fire departments, the answer will vary. Different fire departments have different nuances when it comes to company responsibilities based on scene arrival sequence.

They never answered me and I tried 3 times.

Non-DC specific answer: The additional companies are most commonly tasked as the Rapid Intervention Team (RIT), utility disconnection, and monitoring/evacuating exposures.
