Hey everybody, I am happy to announce my latest rig, Rescue 115, a 2020 Ford F550 SVI Custom Light Rescue. It was not hard to build, however, it took...no joke...4 hours to dig through my LEGO collection to find all the bricks. only took a half hour to build and an hour to decal. Total build time: 5 1/2 hours This means I will not be able to build anymore IRL until I put in my very first bricklink order. To date, this is my best (and favorite) rescue truck, and it is the first one I have built in 2 years.I threw as many decals as possible on to it for even more detail. Here are the Tech specs: Rescue 115 is a 2020 Ford F-550 SVI Light Rescue Technical specs: 330-hp diesel engine 22 kW generator On-board air compressor Holmatro extraction tools (air-powered and battery operated) Forcible entry tools Search and rescue equipment Paratech struts

I recently designed an Expedition SSV for each of the districts. Each of these vehicles is a 2020 Ford Expedition SSV used by the District Chief or on duty Safety Officer.
Left to right. Brickford City District 1, "The South District": Battalion 100 Brickford City District 2, "The East District": Battalion 200 Brickford City District 3, "The North District": Battalion 300 Brickford City District 4, "The West District": Battalion 400 OK, I'll admit...My department structure is rather confusing and unorthodox. Today, I am writing this blog to explain the structure here.
So first, The rebrand. Originally it was North and South Brickford, but as I added East and West, I wanted them to be more unified. So I did just that, I renamed it from Brickford to Brickford City and Brickford City Fire Rescue. With this rebrand I changed a few things, first, these towns are now districts, think of them as their own battalions..actually, that is exactly what they are. Second, I changed the numbering system. Each district is assigned a number and that number is placed in front of their unit number, example: Engine 112. District (1) Engine (12). this goes up to 400. Next, I designated each district for a certain role. North and south are the bustling Urban/Suburban area with traffic, lights, and a whole lotta fire apparatus. East and West are the "specialty districts" East is industrial, with chemical plants, laboratories, airport and shipping ports they have a small yet capable group of custom built boats, ARFF, industrial, and hazmat apparatus. West is "the middle of no place" hiking trails, forests, and spread out, old farmhouses. (important note, North, West, and East are all planned, not actually built yet.) Now, I also recently added Brickford City EMS (BEMS) and they are the sole provider of EMS in the city. their numbering system is simple: (district)-(unit). So with the basics down lets dive deeper. First up: South Brickford/District 1. These units are given the 100-199 callsigns. Brickford City EMS as a 1-(unit number) for this district. The rigs here are Urban Spec. Second up: East Brickford/District 2. These units are given the 200-299 callsigns. Brickford City EMS as a 2-(unit number) for this district. The rigs here are Urban Spec. Forth: North Brickford/District 3. These units are given the 300-399 callsigns. Brickford City EMS as a 3-(unit number) for this district. The rigs here are Industrial Spec. Third: West Brickford/District 4. These units are given the 400-499 callsigns. Brickford City EMS as a 4-(unit number) for this district. The rigs here are wildland Spec. I hope this helps with the crazy organization I have here! |
