- The fire team only act defensively – they are not trained in using breathing apparatus
- Island employees are required to join either the fire team or the coastguard team
- The Island employees come and go, so the fire team personnel changes quite often. Generally, there is a watch manager, a crew manager and about 12 firefighters.

- They are paid for their activity – such as incidents, training, and administration but they are not paid a retainer.
