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!
