10 Codes and Unit Lists

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

26      Technical Rescue                                Countywide
