Activation for this patrol will normally be from the shift Captain at Hayward Fire Station #5. The Captain will contact the R.A.C.E.S. Alerting Officer who will then arrange for R.A.C.E.S. members to staff the CommVan for the patrol. Ideally, all shifts should be composed of 2 members and should last no longer than 4 hours. In the event that the critical fire danger may extend beyond 4 hours, it is the duty of the alerting officer to ensure the availability of a relief crew.
