Here is the numbering code that GEFD and a few surrounding departments use for their apparatus.
The first 2 numbers are the department ID (10-99)
The 3rd number is the station number or officer designation
Officer would be XX0X
Station 1 would be XX1X
Station 2 would be XX2X
4th digit is the type of unit
1-2 Ambulance
3-5 Engine/Attack
6 Specialty unit
7 Brush
8 Tanker
9 Ladder
If 3rd digit is a 0 then the 4th digit is officer identification. 00 for the Chief and continuing through all departmental officers (up to XX09)
So, the department 24 Chief would be 2400, department 24's first engine from station 1 would be 2413, department 20's grass truck would be 2017, department 12's station 1 ambulance 2 would be 1212, department 18's station 2 first engine would be 1823, etc.
Some departments rotate the first unit out for "equal use" or based on type of call, but either way you know what type of apparatus is responding. We've also had to adjust and add some "ghost" stations because of multiple units of the same type. There is one department that has 1 station but 2 tankers, so the trucks were numbered XX18 & XX28 even though they came from the same station.
