Only used when in life threatening situation and the radios are busy.
When a code red is in place no units are able to use the radios except the appliance who called in the code red.

For instance, at my Station 32, if it is a Rescue / RCR call, then Alpha will respond first. If it is a Fire / AFA then Charlie will roll first.
It all depends on the turnout, and what we are attending to whether Alpha and Zulu will attend, or Charlie and Zulu or Charlie and Victor will attend.
QldFirey wrote:Zulu is a composite Fire / Rescue and also Area Spare.
When a pump goes offline in a Area, then the area spare which is a composite fire / rescue pump will be sent to their station on loan while their pump is offline (usually only when their pump is in for service).
Every Area will have a Spare composite Fire / Rescue Pump.
In South West, which is Region 3, there is 7 different Areas, and each area will have 1 Zulu, normally attached to the larger and busiest station.

Prob just because Maroochydore is the only station with more than one permanent crew (india/lima). Dunno if that's always the case tho

Just further to your Case 3: if you have Hydrant to Appliance to Lay-Flat with Branch, it's "Case 3". If you just have an Appliance running a Lay-Flat with a Branch it's "Case 3 Tanker".
It's still Case 3 though.
*Edit* - Branch is a Nozzle
