Explanation of the numbering of units:
The Engines of the SFD are numbered as such, the first number indicates company, the second number indicates the running order of the piece within the company. For example, Engine 12 is assigned to Company 1, Engine 12 is also the second due piece for HQ/Company 1, hence, Engine 12.
Units such as the brush trucks are numbered according to which company they belong to. Ladder trucks are numbered according to running order. The only unit which does not have a number is the SRU.
