@wnaburgencesante it's not Avionics alphabet it is the NATO alphabet. But regardless of that for Fire/Medical I have always heard the NATO alphabet used not the Police alphabet.
Up where i am they wanted to switch the unit numbering around when calling into Orange 911 as before it was 36-control. But it would have been 36 - County Fire, 24 - Station , - 218 Unit so it would be 36-24-218 it's a lot more confusing then just saying the usual Maybrook Engine 218
