Ottawa County Fire - Numbering Scheme
The first two digits of the numbering plan are the department number. The third digit is the type of apparatus, and the fourth digit is usually the station that the unit is assigned to, though this may not be true for all departments or those with multiple apparatus of one type at each station.
Department Numbers and Radio Channel:
01 Allendale Fire Dept North 02 Olive Twp Fire Rescue South 03 Conklin Fire Dept (Chester Twp) North 04 Coopersville Fire Dept (Polkton Twp) North 05 Crockery Twp Fire Dept North 06 Zeeland Twp Fire and Rescue South 07 Ferrysburg Fire Dept North 08 Georgetown Twp Fire South 09 Grand Haven City Fire (DPS) North 10 Grand Haven Twp Fire North 11 Holland City Fire Dept South 12 Holland Twp Fire Dept South 13 Hudsonville Fire and Rescue South 14 Jamestown Twp Fire South 15 Park Twp Fire South 16 Port Sheldon Twp South 17 Spring Lake Twp North 18 Marne Fire Dept (Wright/Tallmadge Twps) North 19 Zeeland City Fire and Rescue South 20 Robinson Twp Fire North 21 Blendon Twp Fire South 25 HAZMAT Countywide 26 Technical Rescue Countywide
The 3rd digit is the type of apparatus:
0 Firefighter 1 Pumpers under 750 gpm 2 Pumpers over 750 gpm 3 Special (Air Trucks, Water Rescue) 4 Aerial devices, platforms 5 Special (Emergency Services) 6 Tankers 7 Rescue 8 Brush trucks, watercraft 9 Command officers
The fourth number is supposed to be station number or in the case of Command Officers, the lowest number being the chief, and highest being lowest ranking senior officer.
Examples: 1290 12 = Holland Twp 9 = commmand 0 = Chief 1222 12 = Holland Twp 2 = pumper 2 = Station 2
