Question for the FLA crowd: Why is it that all the small FD's utilize a double-digit numbering system (ie E45, R27, T33, etc.) as compared to the larger departments that start with 1 and progress numerically upward? Also, any pics from the Port Charlotte area? Thanks in advance

I'm not sure what you mean? Palm Beach County, Miami-Dade County and Broward County all are big departments - Miami-Dade is number 1 in size in the state and Palm Beach County is number 2. Palm Beach has no units that start in the 100's although some second rescues in a station have a 0 or a 1 after the two-digit station number, ie. Rescue 23 and 231 in the same station. I'm pretty sure Miami-Dade works about the same way.
