Fire Districts, Dispatch and Numbering

Most of St. Louis County's population falls within 23 fire protection districts which cross municipal boundaries. The remainder of the county is served by 20 municipal fire departments. Four dispatch centers (East Central County, North Central County, South County and West County) serve multiple departments and protection districts. Other departments/districts are self-dispatched. There is a standardized apparatus numbering system for St. Louis County (which extends to neighboring counties). The City of St. Louis is an independent city, not part of St. Louis County, and has its own system of apparatus identification.

Apparatus Numbering

Fire apparatus in St. Louis County and nearby counties is identified by a 4 digit number.

  • The first two digits indicate the agency (fire protection district or fire department).
  • The 3rd digit usually indicates the house (1, 2, 3, etc.). "0" indicates a command vehicle (fire chief). "9" indicates reserve apparatus. "8" (sometimes "6" or "7") usually indicates specialized equipment.
  • The last digit indicates the type of apparatus:
    • "0" or "1" is a pumper
    • "2" is an aerial or aerial pumper (quint)
    • "3" is a tanker or tanker/pumper
    • "4" is a rescue pumper
    • "5" is a rescue aerial pumper (rescue quint)
    • "6" is a rescue unit
    • "7" (sometimes "8") is an EMS unit
    • "8" is often a brush truck
    • "9" is specialized equipment
