Understanding Fire Calls, and language
Grays Harbor County has been using their new fire Identifiers for over a year now. Here is the breakdown of how these new identifiers work. Cities and stations will identify themselves with a regular name ie: Aberdeen Fire, East Grays Harbor Fire etc... then the unit designations follow with a one or 2-letter code and then their apparatus designation and apparatus number. They can also have their station number with their apparatus number, Here are a few examples
Fire District 5 – Station 1 (Stamper Rd) and equipment from that station is Engine 5-11 (Staton 1. first engine out) if it were Fire District 5 coming from station 2 (Porter) it would be Engine 5-21
Standard apparatus is engine, tender, medic, aid, rescue, portable (responders via pov), utility and brush.
