Truck Numbers
|
Cedar Hill Fire Protection District uses the same numbering system that is used by most of the departments in Jefferson County and the surrounding counties. It is based upon the use of four numbers such as "7710". The first two numbers are the departments identification numbers. "77" is Cedar Hill Fire Protection Districts designated number. The third number means which engine house that truck is from. A "0" in this spot would mean a chiefs vehicle (such as 7700). The fourth number identifies the type of apparatus. There are also exceptions to the rules when it comes to numbering reserve trucks or if there are more than one of the same type of truck at the same engine house. |
