Can someone, (Firephoto??) please explain the unit numbering for the OCFA?  Knowing that they do not have more than 100 stations, I'm just curious about the 100 series engines.  I am aware that the 300 series rigs are Type 3 Brush Rigs, and the 800 & 900's are reserves 

 

Thanks in advance!!

 

The 100 series engines are "ready reserve" engines at particular stations, mostly stations that go out first on strike team responses. If the first out engine is out of service, out at a long term incident or on a strike team (brush fire) they are manned by the oncoming or replacement crews.
