<br />,(:;e.rly painted and ,equipped. for theexclusi-ve use of the Chief
<br />H(.r: and/or Assistant Chief inrespondipg to alarms. It::is important

<br />quickly as possible t.osize .up the situation and be. prepared to ...
<br />direct ,the, .ef,fai'.,ts.of the crew arriving sUb$equentlyat the scene.
<br />A recen.t experience discl.oses. that. the use pf a prl1:ate car for
<br />such purposes does npt_.al~ow,t".the operator t.o,.gainsufficient
<br />right~of':"way .0N'e1' other traffic in responding ,to,. an alarm. It
