Pooler Fire Department Apparatus Numbers

In an earlier post this month, I wrote about Pooler Fire Department using 16## callsigns for department personnel. In the last week or so, I've also heard them using new apparatus callsigns. Instead of the old 2# callsigns, they are now using 6# callsigns for apparatus, i.e. ENGINE 61, ENGINE 62, etc.

This continues the pattern I mentioned in the earlier post on the Roger Wood fire. Some of the callsigns have been in use for awhile (Garden City) and some are more recent (Port Wentworth and Pooler). Once again, notice how they mimic the callsigns for the respective Police Departments. The callsigns I have for the Westside Fire Departments now are:

Garden City: 12## for personnel, 2# for apparatus
Port Wentworth: 14## for personnel, 4# for apparatus
Pooler: 16## for personnel, 6# for apparatus
