What is one responsibility of a Company Commander after roll call at the beginning of each tour?

The role of a Company Commander, also known as the officer in charge, includes a variety of responsibilities that ensure the efficiency and readiness of the fire company. After roll call, one essential task is to ensure that all apparatus are properly fueled and ready for operational readiness. Filling the fuel tank falls under this responsibility as it directly contributes to the preparedness of the fire apparatus for any emergency responses that may occur during the tour.

Maintaining the operational status of vehicles is critical; without sufficient fuel, the apparatus cannot respond to calls, which could jeopardize safety and response times. This task reflects the Company's commitment to upholding standards and ensuring that they are always ready to serve the community effectively. The other tasks, while important parts of overall equipment management and crew welfare, fall under different routines and practices that may not be specifically tied to the immediate duties following roll call.
