Division:
Fire scenes are usually divided into divisions to aide in the organization of firefighting operations. In the case of a structure fire the front of the building would be division A and the other sides would be named division B, C, D, etc, in a clockwise fashion. In a multi story building the botton floor would be division one with the second floor being division 2, and so on.
