Apparatus: Creating an Apparatus Group

Apparatus: Creating an Apparatus Group

Purpose

  1. The purpose of this article is to inform users how to create an apparatus group in the First Due system.  Apparatus grouping allows users to "group" or categorize apparatus so that they can be easily located within the system. 
Idea:  Many departments choose to group apparatus by type (i.e. engine, ladder, brush, etc.) whereas other departments find it more useful to group apparatus by location (i.e. vehicles in battalion 1, station 2 apparatus, etc.).  There is no wrong way to group apparatus.  Choose a grouping method that suits the needs of your department.
