each is staffed by 2 sub fire officers - maybe like captains or
lieutenants in USA
MCP is sent on any incident with 3 engines assigned etc - if 6 engines
are assigned - a 2nd MCP is sent
fdny has just 1 MCP
lafd has ? zero ?
boston might staff their MCP only on 4 th alarms or higher - they used
to have a mini MCP also - unknown if that is still staffed by
dispatchers - the radio system is so good that MCP is not really
needed by BFD
note - London FD uses low power simplex channels at fires - iirc the
dispatchers have no way to hear those channels - unless a MCP is at
the scene and verbally relays messages
