what does the SJS stand for?

[ZBeeb]

@ppi35trk Every fire department in California is assigned a three letter code or identifier. Each department displays that three letter code on their equipment, so you can tell at a glance the difference between one department's "Engine 1" and the next. SJS is the three letter identifier for San Jose Fire Department... so in this case SJS stands for San Jose Fire Department.
