Which stations are covered at all times?

• A. 40, 48 and 55
• B. 16, 56 and 40
• C. 1, 2 and 3
• D. 9, 10 and 11

Answer: (A)

The essential idea is that some stations are kept staffed continuously so there’s always a response unit ready. These stations become anchor points for constant coverage, ensuring a quick, reliable response no matter the time of day. The option that lists the three anchor stations—the ones the SOG designates to be staffed 24/7—best fits this concept, because it reflects the policy of maintaining at-all-times readiness in those specific locations. Other stations aren’t guaranteed to have a crew on site at all times; their coverage depends on current shifts or mutual-aid arrangements, so they don’t meet the “covered at all times” criterion.
