For Town of Hamburg first aid calls recently, I have been hearing a Engine 20 responding to calls for all different districts. Today Saturday 11/19 they are responding as Blasdell Engine 20 and on other days I heard them refer to as Woodlawn Engine 20 also I think I heard Lakeshore also.
Does anyone know what Engine 20 is and why they are using it on certain days? They are not responding for there own calls. Blasdell Engine 20 went to a Big Tree call.
Thanks for your help

sounds like Engine 20 is the on air designator for the town-wide or district-wide on duty engine. what happens in that case is one engine is staffed by that company, or group of companies, and responds as first due to most calls within the given area. the idea was kicked around in Oneida County Town of Whitestown, but those familiar with town politics there know that ain't gonna happen.
