Sandwich Fire Apparatus

[Mark SNE Moderator]

For several days now I have been hearing Sandwich Fire calling their ambulances 456, 457, 458, and 459 as A-1, A-2, A-3, and A-4. They are also calling Engines 451, 452, and 453 as Engine 1, Engine 2, and Engine 3. Not sure if this is specific to their department or part of some new county numbering system.

Now the ambulances have three numbers. C- Med, Barnstable County and now the Sandwich number. For example one unit can be C- Med 306 and Sandwich 456 and now A1. Was supposed to make it easier ?

From what I can figure out, Ambulance 459 is A-1, Ambulance 458 is A-2, Ambulance 456 is A-3, and Ambulance 457 is A-4.

Another update to the ambulances in Sandwich;

They have placed a new ambulance in service at station 3, and it is County number 457 and Sandwich A-3 on Sandwich fire alarm. The former A-3, ambulance 456, I believe is now A-4. The former 457/A-4 may have been taken out of service.
