Your firefighter number?
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.

the department i'm with the chief is 700 and the two asst. chiefs are 702 and 704. then we have six stations with 100's being capt. and 101's Lt. then firefighters after that. we use to change our numbers each year depending on the numbers of years we been on the the training. we stop doing that the only time we change numbers now is when you move up to an officer. we have very few officers we have two capt. and four Lt. in the deparment. my number is 501 so i run station five because we have no capt. at the station.

Yah, I suppose this should have been in the "fire is out - off duty" catagory.
Still kinda interesting to see some of the differences though... but in the wrong catagory. -

I'm on a career department and our's are given to us at the graduation of the Fire Acadamy as our commission numbers. Mine is 231 and they go up through the 1100's. As people retire their numbers are set aside for a period of time and then basically recycled, that's why mine is a fairly low number. I've been on for 7yrs. But as the new recruits come aboard they are being given higher numbers as pretty much all of the lower numbers are still active.

On our volunteer department the numbers are basically to make sure no one steals your gear and that the right gear ends up in the right locker. I am #01. Trust me, its not a reflection of anything. The guys in locker #01 and #05 retired after long, distinguished careers so when Howdy and I joined the department as replacements we got their lockers. It just so happened that I got first pick (no reason) and I picked #01 not because I wanted to walk around with my chest puffed out, but because #01 is the first locker in our dressing area which means only one adjoining locker not two (Nice when people are scrambling to put on gear). Also, there is a step which makes a nice little bench for when there is a wildland fire call and I have to lace up my boots!! Haha, fun topic, thanks.

You are assigned a number when you join our department and you keep it as long as you are on the department. My number is 22.

Our number process in sumter sc is quite complicated. The city and the county station run together but the Numbers assigned are different. For instance in the county I am FD 308.... that means I run with station 3 and im number 8 on the rank roster. In the city im FD 91... which just means Im FD 91. some peoples numbers are all over the place because they are LT's in the county and firefighter rank in the city. city numbers are 101-125.. then the shift workers go from FD 5 to 91... which would be me cause im the newest person in the city. County numbers always start with the station the person runs with and then their number rank.

Our department is like some of the others i have read. First number defines which department in our county. Then we issue everyone a number when they join and keep that number no matter what there position may be. Mine is 816.
