It's about time. The one Lt. had to be the "station" boss conducting roll calls, issuing equipment, marking TPR's, etc. as well as whatever station duties were needed. At the same time, he/she was the "Conditions" boss and had to drop everything, lock the office, respond to the job, etc. When some of the "inside" work didn't get done or some hospital and unit checks weren't done the powers that be wanted to know why was xxxx neglected on your tour? I worked for a Capt. who once told "upstairs" that he was going to put a typewriter in the glove compartment of the rig and hopefully that would keep somebody happy. Not to be redundant, but, it's about damn time!
