Since the beginning of the year, some of the West Chatham County Fire Departments have changed their callsigns and unit numbers. It appears that they have done this to align their callsigns with their respective Police Department callsigns. This numbering should also have the effect of making the department more easily recognized without using the city name along with the callsign.
It is worth noting that Garden City FD has used 12## for some time. The other department's use of 18##, 16##, 14## respectively is much more recent.
