=== Rescue Designations ===
 
−
All ambulances mark up using a "Medic" or "Rescue" prefix followed by a three digit number scheme. "Medic" meaning an Advanced Life Support crew is on board. "Rescue" meaning a Basic Life Support crew is on board (Note: The "Rescue" prefix is currently being phased out, but is still recognized; a BLS ambulance simply marks up only using its three digit number now). If the ambulance is understaffed, the ambulance uses the suffix "Understaffed".
 
−
All EMS response vehicles do not use a prefix (whether or not they have an ALS or BLS crew) when marking up. If a Medic (EMT-I or above) is on board then the unit uses a "Medic status" suffix.

==== Examples ====
 
−
*Medic 152 - Is an ambulance based out of Rescue 1 (Blue Ridge) and has an ALS crew on board.
 
−
*Rescue 252 - Is an ambulance based out of Rescue 2 (Troutville) and has a BLS crew on board.
 
−
*353 "Understaffed" - Is an ambulance based out of Rescue 3 (Buchanan) and doesn't have enough personnel to be staffed.
 
−
*450 "Medic status" - Is a response vehicle based out of Rescue 4 (Fincastle) and has a Medic on board.
 
−
*550 - Is a response vehicle based out of Rescue 5 (Eagle Rock) and has an EMT/Driver on board.
