Paul, for lack of a better explanation, it refers to the basic subdivision or general area of the county where the station is actually located. As an example, there may be stations located in the "mailing area" of Falls Church, but they are actually in areas known to the residents such as Seven Corners, Jefferson, etc. The DCFD also does this on their apparatus as well.

My main interest is where the name Frying Pan originated. Does the area look like one from the air??
