Separation of services explains some of the numbering. For example, West Salem Fire and First Responders are completely separate entities. Brice Prairie First Responders serve an area of Onalaska Township covered in part by Onalaska City Fire and in part by Holmen Fire, and are distinct from either fire service. The numbering (and paging) reflects this. Shelby, on the other hand, is a combined service. La Crosse Fire seems to have completely eliminated use of the old numbering, using designations like "Engine 1," "Quint 1," "Heavy Rescue," etc. They had called the Station 1 base "Fire Base 60" until relatively recently (maybe still?), an historical reference to the old numbering system still used throughout the rest of La Crosse County. | Separation of services explains some of the numbering.

Unit Numbering
La Crosse County, WI Unit Numbering System

There are 5xxx units as well (inspectors). Routine State Patrol activities are conducted on their own radio system but troopers do monitor county radio systems and work primarily on Sheriff-1 through La Crosse County EDC sometimes when working major incidents with multiple agencies responding. (DNR conservation officers also monitor and answer calls from La Crosse County on Sheriff-1.) 6xx West Salem Village 601-649 Police 650-669 Fire 670-699 First Responders - individual team members have their own numbers 7xx Holmen Village 800 Bangor 900 Campbell Township (French Island) 1100 Farmington Township 1300 University of Wisconsin - La Crosse PD 1900 County Service Processors 4100 County Emergency Management except as noted (particularly City and County of La Crosse 100s and 200s)
- x01-x49 are Police. Certain agencies assign numbers to individual officers (Onalaska, Sheriff, Shelby); others may use numbers based on vehicles.
- x50s tend to be assigned to specific people in Fire Departments.
- x60s are Fire Base stations.
- x61-x69 tend to be used for specific fire apparatus.
Separation of services explains some of the numbering. For example, West Salem Fire and First Responders are completely separate entities. Brice Prairie First Responders serve an area of Onalaska Township covered in part by Onalaska City Fire and in part by Holmen Fire, and are distinct from either fire service. The numbering (and paging) reflects this. Shelby, on the other hand, is a combined service. La Crosse Fire seems to have completely eliminated use of the old numbering, using designations like "Engine 1," "Quint 1," "Heavy Rescue," etc. They had called the Station 1 base "Fire Base 60" until relatively recently (maybe still?), an historical reference to the old numbering system still used throughout the rest of La Crosse County.
