It looks good. What exactly is 67-8? That's not a chief, so it's gotta be a captain or something, right?

maybe a fly car? afterall they do run ambulances or maybe just a utility? it has to be one of those.

Actually, 67-8 is a Chief. It's the Rescue Chief for Unionvale. Dutchess has a different numbering system than other counties. Example, Any XX-Y 1-8 is a chief in some form or another. For instance, in East Fishkill, 39-1, 39-2 are District Chief, and 1st Assistant District Chief. Each company also has its own chief, 39-3, 39-4, 39-5, 39-6, etc. In most towns in Dutchess, XX-8 is Rescue Chief. I believe XX-9 is a career officer's number? correct me if i'm wrong on that one, since we don't have any in my town. Captains are usualy XXC-y, Ex; 39-C2. Hope the bit of insight helped! And don't ask me to get into Liutenants, because there are way too many variances, and way too many NUMBERS!!!

For instance, in East Fishkill, 39-1, 39-2 and district chief, and 1st assistant. Each company also has its own chief, 39-3, 39-4, 39-5, 39-6, etc. In most town in Dutchess, XX-8 is Rescue Chief, or Captain if they didnt get that far yet. I believe XX-9 is a career officer's number? correct me if i'm wron gon that one, since we don't have any in my town. Captains are usualy XXC-y, Ex; 39-C2. Hope the bit of insight helped!

Right.

XX-1 through 6 are chief officers.

XX-7 and 8 are EMS Capt/Chiefs

XX-9 and 10 are career duty officers.

XX-91, 93, 95 and 96 are also officer positions i.e. fire inspector, training officer, safety officer.

As I've said for other new deliveries, you can keep your Trailblazers. Absolute junk, especially as a duty vehicle.

Don't most departments assign radio/identifier numbers to their Captains, Lieutenants, Saftey Officers, etc?

Well in Arlington, for example the Capt of St. 3 would be 32-C3. 1st Lt. of St. 4 would be 32-L41, 4 as the station, 1 as the Lt. rank.

While we're going overboard at radio buffness, let's go complete!

32-91 is fire inspector (Capt.)

32-96 is MTO (Training Capt.)

32-94 is MFI (Asst. Training Lt.)

32-9 is shift command career Capt.

32-93 is career Lt. riding Engine 1.

32-10 is career Lt. riding Engine 3.

Ok, I'm feeling like being in a way too much information mood here. So here's the COMPLETE LIST of officers and radio identifiers in East Fishkill.

Chiefs

39-1= District Chief

Captains

39-C1= Station 1 Capt.

39-C2= Station 2 Capt.

39-C3= Station 3 Capt.

39-C4= Station 4 Capt.

39-C5= Fire Police Capt.

39-C6= Special Ops Capt.

Liutenants

Station 1

39-L1-1= 1st Lt.

39-L1-2= 2nd Lt.

39-L1-3= "2nd" 2nd Lt.

39-RL-1= Rescue Lt.

39-FP-1= Fire Police Lt.

Station 2

39-L2-1= 1st Lt.

39-L2-2= 2nd Lt.

Special Operations Liutenants

39-L6-1

39-L6-3

Other:

39-91= Building Inspector

39-95- Fire Inspector

They are also contemplating adding second rescue liutenant to each station to assist with managing the ambulance roster, but not yet. I hope i didn't leave anyone out! I do believe the commisioners have assigned numbers as well, 39-10, 20, 30, 40, and 50, but they never used, so didn't feel the need to post them. That should be enough boring information to put you all to sleep tonight.....

And, just a quick note, before anyone decides to say we have too many officers, and start monday night quarterbacking, keep in mind that there are close to 500 members to manage......

Nice looking vehicle although I've also heard a lot of negative feedback about the Trailblazer as a service vehicle. I'm pretty annoyed that it's not school bus yellow though.

What kind of EMS call volume does Union Vale do? I know they have a paid crew during the day; it just seems like quite the expenditure for a department that I don't hear doing a ton of EMS calls.

Union Vale if lucky gets one a day, they have their busy days like all departments do, but sometimes i won't hear a call for 2-3 days.

Yeah in my department we do but we don't have 8 chiefs we have three chiefs and a Lt for each truck (they don't get radios) and three captains(they get radios and go to the scene) but that's it.That's why i'm saying that you guys have a lot of officers but I do realize your a big department you have like 4 departments.
