Engine 4 is being used as Engine 3 until the delivery of the new rig, and there is no Truck 4. Truck 1 is the reserve unit and was staffed by call-backs I believe. F-1 is not the Chief’s designation.

Did Cicero callback any personel to staff truck 4 and engine 4?

I thought the Chief was F-1?

ok so it would be like this:
F-1 to F-9: Chief Officers
F-10: Ambulance 10
F-11: ??
F-12: Shift Commander
F-13: ??
F-14: Ambulance 14
F-15: Ambulance 15
F-16: Ambulance 16

Is this about right?

Cicero F-12 is the Shift Commander. The “F” just stands for fire unit. And then all 4 ambulances are F-10, F-14, F-15, and F-16. The Cicero Chief I believe is F-9. Then all the other chiefs have their own “F” number.

How does Ciceros numbering system work is F-18 chief or a battalion chief?
