A rather typical ELW-1, which is used by the commanding officer of a Loeschzug, which typically consists of two rescue pumpers, a turntable ladder, tower ladder or aerial platform and usually also an ambulance, with a total of around 16 to 18 firefighters. Bigger ELW2 and 3 are deployed to second and/or multiple alarm incidents, and are much larger with more equipment and seating capacity on board.
