Ok you get issued a number when you join your department of course the chief is usually 101 asst. 102 and so forth 101-109 on our dept. is for officers after that the numbers really dont matter. I noticed on other departments it may be different how does it work on yours? I am 116.

We have names on our coats, but they're the same ones we had when we were hired.

For our trucks the 1st 2 # are the dept #'s. So 23. The 3rd #'s depend on what type of Truck it is. Boats are 1. Grass trucks/support units are 2. Pumpers are 4 and 5. Tankers/Tenders are 6. 8 is ladder/quint. 9 is rescue.

We have 7 depts. in our county. Each station has a designated 3 digit call sign from 200-900 except for 500 & 600. For instance my dept. is designated as 700. Our Chief is 701 and the Assist Chief (that be me) is 702 after that it is pretty much we assign you a number from 703 on down. The Chief and Assit. Chief's original call number stays reserved untill we retire from our positions.

We have a county wide numbering system, we have 15 depts on 1 freq. 1st # is dept identifier, 2nd # is apparatus type.
Officers are the only ones with true #’s and they are in the 90 series. Med units are 10’s, Engines 20’s, 40’s trucks, 60’s tenders, 70’s is for squads and 80’s are for brush. Each employee is given a number based on seniority but it is not used for identification on the radio. They “assume” the unit id plus a letter i.e 1222 (engine) A .
Officers are 90 thru 99 plus dept identifier in front i.e. my # is 1290. Hope that helps you out. Stay safe

With my dept if you are a captain or above you get a 100 number. Our Chief is 100, Asst. Chief is 101, Batt. Chief one is 102, Batt. Chief two is 103, and captains start at 104-110. Each firefighter gets a station number from their respective stations, I am with station 2 so I am 255. Each accountability tag is color coded to their station for instance station 2 is black so my accountability tag is black, labeled B.C.V.F.D 255. We use a cow tag system which I keep attached to the back of my helmet with the clip provided. Usually the pump operator gets the tag or if he is involved with firefighting ops due to lack of manpower we put it on the pump panel. We are allowed to go POV to the scene but we are not allowed to run lights or siren. Oh yea almost forgot the state of Kentucky issues you a state firefighter number to keep up with your training hours.
