No specific numbers are stationed at certain posts. ECI (EmergyCare) uses a "phantom numbering system" that assigns a 01-XX based on order of call in for the day. For example, the first shift of the day is 01-01, second is 01-02, etc... The first number is the "division" number. All Erie trucks are "01", Corry trucks are "02", Kane is "27", Warren is "30", and Titusville is "34". Numbers are as such:

01-01 to 01-49: Erie Operations
01-43 is MICU
01-44 is M-F Kuhl Hose Truck
01-45 is M-F Harborcreek Truck
01-46 to 01-49 are reserved for management units
01-50 to 01-59: Erie Wheelchair Operations
01-90: Erie Operations Supervisor
01-91: Erie Field Supervisor
01-92: Harborcreek Medic
01-93: Kuhl Hose Medic
01-94: Union City Medic
01-95: Management Medic
01-96: Erie Flycar
01-97: Erie Flycar
01-98: Erie Flycar
01-99: Erie Flycar

02-01 to 02-05 are Corry Ambulances
02-50 to 02-55 are Corry Wheelchairs

27-01 to 27-05 are Kane Ambulances

30-01 to 30-05 are Warren Ambulances
30-50 to 30-55 are Warren Wheelchairs

34-01 to 34-05 are Titusville Ambulances
34-50 to 34-55 are Titusville Wheelchairs

Any unit with "S" is a standby unit that was working a standby shift
Any "EC" call sign is a person from management.

Ambulances are vehicle numbers 21 to 49
Wheelchair units are numbers 50 to 70
Supervisor is S-20
Medic Units are 84, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96
Other specialty units have various unit numbers

I hope this helps!!

Does anyone know the Frequency for Medical Helicopters in and out of Erie? Emergycare LifeSTAR use to be 155.220 but no longer use it for helos. Thnaks

The medical helicopters still use 155.2200 They only communicate "incoming ETA" and "repositioning" in the Erie area. Once they leave Erie, they go back to their dispatch center. "Helicopter med patches" take place exclusively on Med 7 with either SVHC or HMC. Hope this helps!!
