Introduction:
 Provide students with a large wall map mounted on whiteboard at front of classroom. Provide EMS, Fire and Police units all placed in the centre of the map. Asking students to break into small discussion groups and discuss 2 advantages and 2 disadvantages of deploying vehicle from a central station within a given region. After discussion give students opportunity to decide how their resource deployment would be for the given map.
Development:
  Order a Pizza from PizzaPizza. The phone number 667-1111 go to a central ordering desk (CACC, CERB, FD Dispatch, PD Dispatch) The calltaker (CALLTAKER) takes your order and through the use of computer technology the order is shipped (COMMITTED) to the Pizza Pizza location (STATION) closest to you, and getting you order to you in 30 mins or less. (EHS/PD/FD TIME GUIDELINES) Emergency services are no different - resource allocation (define), resource management (define) and balanced emergency coverage (define) can all be tied back together in the example of the PIZZA PIZZA case. Provide examples and definitions of ACP, PCP, ACPP, First Responder and Duty Manager to the class. Demonstrate proper resource allocation for given map to students. Evaluate how close their group exercise was to the actual policies.
