Could someone clarify what '7 per rule' means when SFD gets a dispatch (I'm reading the City's dispatch here). It's typically on Assault calls.

Insight is appreciated. Thanks!

Not sure what it means, but they sure sent enough units to the incident!

Whenever they have a call where there is ongoing CPR or major trauma they send a Med 7 response which means a they send a number of units so the manpower on the scene is at least 7 people, resustations require alot of manpower.

Back in the old days it meant an engine, an aid car and a medic unit, since the downsizing in the number of aid cars they will send 2 engines and a medic unit or 1 engine 1 ladder truck and a medic unit

Thanks for the info, I assumed it ment something like that (send more men) but Googl'ing was proving fruitless. Cheers!
