Dorm Room Counts.
The worksheet uses two methods to calculate the number of dorm rooms needed (dorm
room count). First, the user enters the number of Structural companies and the number
of ARFF companies, as appropriate. (If it is a Structural station, ARFF companies are
not permitted and vice versa.) Based on the branch of Service selected, the worksheet
will calculate the number of dorm rooms using the number of companies entered.
Second, the user adds or subtracts dorm rooms to accommodate ambulance
companies, rescue companies, or cross-staffing of companies. The initial number of
rooms plus or minus the modified number of rooms is the Final Dorm Room count.
Dorm room counts must be coordinated with the Fire Chief. See Table 2-3 for sample
staffing by vehicle type. Cross staffed (x-staffed) vehicles are staffed on an as needed
basis by personnel assigned to another vehicle or vehicles. X-staffed vehicles have no
dedicated staff of their own. The sample vehicle staffing numbers shown in Table 2-3
do not represent staffing authorizations.
