The Sudbury Fire Department operates out of three stations; headquarters is on Route 27, Station 2 is on Route 20, and Station 3 is on Route 117. When a call for medical assistance is received, the ambulance responds from headquarters with two men, and a fire engine from one of the outstations is dispatched as well for additional manpower. Which engine is dispatched depends upon where the medical call is located. This dispatch protocol assures a minimum of 4 men on a call, in addition to the shift supervisor in Car 3.<\/P>
