Frequently Asked Question

[Darrell]

Maybe this is a misconception I've picked up on, but is "C" as a prefix not in use for the various 'Car' identifiers in the department?

I thought on the Fire side it was "Car-#"?

I thought on the Fire side it was "Car-#"?

Definitely not, suspect its either just the car number (ie ###), or at most C###
