Does anyone have a detailed list of DuComm’s renumbered stations & rigs; it’s getting hard to keep track of which departments have changed & which ones have not.

It seems as if they are using a “ghost” station numbering system for all the towns in Ducomm who have extra rigs. For example, Oak Brook has 2 stations…93 and 94. Their rigs are: E93, S93, M93, E94, TL94, M94 and Bat 94. Their reserve engine and ambulance are numbered as E95 and M95, even though they don’t have a station 95. Not sure why they are doing it this way, instead of doing it like the North suburbs and using the 93″R” as a reserve rig.

They also, I believe, still have a squad. Just curious to know how they are doing it with the extra vehicles.

Warrenville’s Truck is not numbered 13. I saw Warrenville’s truck in the Wheaton parade and it was Truck 11. I am sure they have a Engine 11, Ambulance 11 and Truck 11, and Engine 12. I don’t know what the other two engines and the other Ambulance will be numbered.

Warrenville has two ambulances (both at Station 11) and, at least, three engines (two @ Sta. 11 & one at Sta. 12). Are they using 13 for more than just their truck?
