Defensive Residential Structure Fire • Stockton Fire

Stockton Firefighters responded to several reports of a structure fire recently in the 2800 block of Raymond Avenue. First-in crews arrived to a heavily involved structure fire, with wind driven flames extending into neighboring areas.
Thanks to the aggressive and experienced actions of firefighters on scene, the fire was brought under control quickly and without injury.
The first alarm assignment consists of four engines, two trucks, two battalion chiefs,
and the operator.
These 20 some firemen were able to establish three 5 inch LDH supply lines, deploy three 2 1/2 inch hoselines, two 1 3/4 attack lines, a deck gun master stream, and set up a ladder pipe master stream in
under 5 minutes of arriving on scene- extinguishing the fire.

It takes longer to set up and teardown than actually putting out the fire. A sign things are done right?

Uninitiated here. What does the "Operator" do?

I see it was being remodled.
