[quote name='Ladder 68' post='292341' date='Mar 25 2009, 00:14 ']Did Arlington change their numbering system from a multiple digit system to a single digit system?
If so, how do the old relate to the new ones?
Thanks in advance.[/quote]
Haha.. we still number them "in house" to coorespond with the respective house # but the countywide re-numbering happened about when Ron took those pictures. Now the numbering is a company #, followed by an apparatus designation. I can elaborate a helluva lot more on it if you want, but for times sake here it is in a nutshell-
1st- Company # = 31 (Amenia) through 71 (West Clinton) going upwards alphabetically
2nd- Apparatus Designation #
11-29- engines
31-35- tankers
45-49- ladders
51-55- rescues
61-64- brush
71-79- ambulance
81- hose truck ..... blah blah blah
...So arlington engine 1 is 32-11, engine 5 is 32-15, truck 1 is 32-45, etc...
Got it? LOL!
