Unit Call Sign Change

Effective starting October, Colton Fire District is transitioning to the new statewide unit numbering system. Colton has been assigned numbers 336 - 339 to use for our apparatus. The way unit call signs work is the letters at the beginning designate the type of resource, and the number is the specific unit.

Unit Type: OLD = NEW

Chief Officer: C120 = C336

Assist Chief: C121 = C337

Assist Chief: C122 = C338

Duty Officer: DO120 = DO336 Colton Main Station:

Engine: E121 = E336

E122 = E337 Rescue: R121 = S336 (Squad)

Tender: T121 = T336

Brush Engine: BR121 = BR336

Utility: U121 = U336

Air Trailer: AT121 = AT336

Elwood Station:

Engine: E123 = E338

Rescue: R123 = S338 (Squad)

Tender: T123 = T338 ____________________________________________________________ For those interested here are the other units for our county that will follow a similar layout to above for their apparatus.
