New Numbering for New Hope Fire Department

Posted by on

This week the Wake New Hope Fire Department announced a new numbering of their units on their Facebook page. Here’s their note:

“The eastern Wake County fire departments are standardizing their unit numbers, and as a result, we will be renumbering several of our apparatus. With our original station being numbered 28, all of our new assignments will utilize the 28 prefix going forward.

  • Our primary engine from Station 1, Engine 1, will now be referred to as Engine 281
  • Our primary engine from Station 2, Engine 4, will now be referred to as Engine 282
  • Our reserve/volunteer engine from Station 2, Engine 3, will now be referred to as Engine 284
  • Our heavy rescue from Station 2, Rescue 14, will now be referred to as Rescue 28
  • Our primary brush/wildfire apparatus from Station 2, Brush 7, will now be referred to as Brush 28″

Between New Hope’s change and Eastern Wake’s merger with Knightdale this month, we’ve inched slightly closer to a countywide schema. Here’s the score so far:

  • 0-9 – All departments
  • 10-19 – Raleigh, Cary, Knightdale, Northern Wake, RDU (plus other FDs with Car 10, Car 11, etc.?)
  • 20-29 – Raleigh, Morrisville, New Hope, Northern Wake
  • 30-39 – Apex, Northern Wake
  • 40-49 – Northern Wake
  • 50-59 – Northern Wake
  • 90-99 – Zebulon
  • 110-119 – Wendell
  • 130-139 – Knightdale
  • 150-159 – Rolesville
  • 160-169 – Durham Highway
  • 170-179 – Durham Highway
  • 190-199 – Western Wake
  • 220-229 – Hopkins
  • 280-289 – New Hope
  • 290-299 – Western Wake
