Fire Services in York Region - Apparatus

Apparatus

York Region's fire apparatus use fire engine red as the base colour. Trim varies from yellow, white and blue.

Markham and Vaughan were one of a number of municipalities to have used a yellow paint scheme.

APPARATUS DESIGNATIONS - The numbering works like this:

  • The first number is the district
  • The second number is the station number
  • The third number is the apparatus number
  • 1 - Engine (Pumper)
  • 2 - Engine (Pumper)
  • 3 - Telesquirt
  • 4 - Tanker
  • 5 - Tanker
  • 6 - Aerial
  • 7 - Aerial Platform
  • 8 - Hazmat
  • 9 - Rescue
  • 0 - Utility

The apparatus numbers are pronounced by saying the last 2 digits individually from the first. For example, 729 would be pronounced Seven-Two-Nine, NOT Seven Twenty Nine, and 849 would be pronounced Eight-Four-Nine, NOT Eight Forty Nine, and so on.

For units with 4 digits, such as Fire Prevention, Training, and spare apparatus, the last 3 digits are pronounced individually from the first digit. For example 4401 would be pronounced Four-Four-Zero-One, NOT Forty-Four-O-One.

Famous quotes containing the word apparatus:

    “Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

    “Certainly the philosopher of ‘possible worlds’ must take care that his technical apparatus not push him to ask questions whose meaningfulness is not supported by our original intuitions of possibility that gave the apparatus its point.”
    —Saul Kripke (b. 1940)

    “Our talk of external things, our very notion of things, is just a conceptual apparatus that helps us to foresee and control the triggerings of our sensory receptors in the light of previous triggering of our sensory receptors.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
