Numbering conventions
These conventions are becoming less widely used. They are currently used by Madison Twp., Heath, National Trails, Hebron (except for medics), Hartford, Utica, and Mary Ann Twp. Heath's and Hebron's apparatus are simply referred to by their name and unit number without a station number. (Example: "Heath Rescue 6")
