The designation "Wagon" being used in Loudoun County?



Loudoun County currently only partically follows COG when it comes to vehicle designations. For example, a second Ambulance out of the same Station in Fairfax or Prince William would have a "B" after the number (A-411B). Here it was decided to use a numbering system. An example would be at Station 15 (Sterling Rescue), the Ambulances are numbered - A-615-1, A-615-2, A-615-3, etc...



So with the Wagon designation, Loudoun Companies are as of now still allowed to use it. Again where most call their second out Engine the "B" bravo Engine, Loudoun can still have a Engine, Wagon, and Rescue Engine all in the same house. As of right now, there are only six (6) Engine's in Loudoun with the Wagon designation. They are Wagon 603 (Middleburg), Wagon 605 (Hamilton), Wagon 606 (Ashburn), Wagon 608 (Philomont), Wagon 611 (Sterling), and Wagon 612 (Lovettsville), Some of the Loudoun Volunteer Companes have switch, like Leesburg. Wagon 601 is now Engine 620 (out of Station 20).



Hope this isn't to confusing.
