NOTE: -9.4.12 As the first due engine company begins its advance on the fire, the second due engine must assist with line movement and be prepared at any moment to relieve the first engine company. Air conservation is an important consideration for the second due engine. If it is not possible to conserve air due to smoke and heat conditions, additional engine companies may be utilized by the Incident Commander to reinforce the critical position of the first hoseline.
