How the 48/96 shift schedule works
The 48/96 schedule repeats every six days: a 48-hour shift (two 24-hour days in a row) followed by 96 hours off. Three crews cover every day, and each one averages 56 hours a week. It is common in US fire departments.

Frequently asked questions
How many hours a week is a 48/96 schedule?
48 hours of work every 6 days averages 56 hours a week, the same as a 24/48 schedule, with fewer but longer stretches on duty.
Is 48/96 better than 24/48?
Both average 56 hours. 48/96 means fewer commutes and longer breaks (four days off), while 24/48 means shorter shifts. Many departments switch to 48/96 for the time off, but fatigue on the second day is the main trade-off.
How many shifts a year is a 48/96?
About 61 48-hour shifts, or 122 24-hour days, a year.
