[quote name='Dave McClung' post='193866' date='Mar 3 2008, 19:44 ']Mike great pics as usual. Any reason why Loudoun County is not using the COG numbering in county? I know Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and Dulles and National respond much more autoaid into each others jurisdictions but it just seems that if you buy into the COG numbering you should just get used to using it.[/quote]
Dave, in my opinion, it is just a slow process of transitioning. It took awhile for apparatus to appear with the new numbers on them. It started out with apparatus having both numbers on them (i.e. Ashburn - "6" and "23" in large numbers on the doors and the smaller "606" and "623" on the front bumpers). Now the COG numbers are being added on more and more of the apparatus - mostly new trucks entering service.
I think it is just a matter of time before we use the COG numbering within county responses.
