The letter/number combination is the New London (CT) county apparatus designation construct. The letter signifies the town. In this case "B" which is East Lyme. The first number designates which station or department in the town. In this case "1" for Niantic. The second number signifies apparatus type. 1,2,3 are engines, 4 service, 5 ladder/tower, 6 utility, 7 rescue. East Lyme has a second department, the Flanders FD. Their apparatus include B-21, B-22, B-23, B-25, B-27.
No, I was asking why do you have seperate numbers on the apparatus. Why does each unit have an engine number and then a "B" Number. Is one a call sign for the radio or what?
What brand are B-12 and B13?
