What exactly is a Fire Battalion?

I have a radio scanner, and I'll sometimes hear a Battalion get dispatched. I'd like to know what a Fire Battalion is.

It depends on the area. In some places, a battalion is a specific response of multiple apparatus - for instance, on a house fire it may be two engines, two ladders, and an ambulance. In other places, when you hear a "battalion" sign on, it is the radio designation of the Battalion Chief, which is an officer of the department who responds to take command of an incident. There really is not one universal definition. |

A fire battalion chief is third in command in the fire department hierarchy. Only the fire chief and deputy fire chief are superior to him. The battalion chief is responsible for helping the chief and deputy chief to secure areas, manage manpower and extinguish fires.
Usually on the radio when they are dispatched you might hear something such as "Battalion 1" etc.
I hope this helps. |

Some departments refer to a Battalion as a large tap-out force, for instance a large commercial building fire, they may tap out multiple units to one scene.
Otherwise the battalion is referring to a Battalion Chief, who is in command/control of a city/county (or section of) area/dept and would direct the scene and command post. He is Chief of Operations at a fire scene. |
