I've listed a prelim Dispatching Info page under SDFD's talkgroup page. I have listed the apparatus that gets sent to each type of dispatch plus some more details.
Anyone with a good working knowledge of SDFD dispathing protocals, please give it a look and let me know whats wrong/missing

The list is fairly accurate. The canyon rim responses have been eliminated. All grass/brush/wildland fires are called "vegetation fires" and are broken down into different responses.For "low hazard" (non fire season, middle of street, downtown, areas where fire has little chance of being large or a problem) which is 1 engine. During fire season the same area gets a "fire season hazard" response which is 2 engines. A first alarm vegetation response(used in canyon areas, wildland areas, high hazard areas) while in a "low" dispatch level gets 3 type-1 engines, 1 truck, 1 bc, 1 copter, 1 type-3 engine and PDS. For a 1st alarm medium it is 4 t-1 engines, 1 truck, 2 bc, 3 t-3 engines, 1 copter, 1 water tender, PDS and staff notification. And a first alarm high gets 5 type-1 engines, 1 truck, 2 bc, 5 type-3 engines, 2 water tenders, 1 copter, 1 medic unit, PDS, 1 utility, and staff notification. The CAD is built 4 alarms deep for these reponses.
