Richmond Fire Truck numbering

[1dougsk]

Lately I have noticed that Richmond Fire has been using new numbering for their trucks. Engines still have the same numbering. I have heard Truck 2, Truck 3, Truck 5, Truck 8, and Truck 9 dispatched. Haven't heard the "old" numbers of 1, 10, 13, 22, or 24 lately. There is no Station 2, 3, or 9 (unless that has changed recently), so it seems that Truck numbers are no longer based on which station they are housed in. From what I have been able to determine, it seems that Trucks 8 and 9 are south of the river. Trucks 2,3, and 5 might be north of the river, but I could be wrong about that. Anyone have any information about this?
Thanks,
Doug

On January 3rd, 2019, the RFD returned their truck companies to their original (pre-1997) designations:

Truck 1 = Truck 2
Truck 10 = Truck 3
Truck 13 = Truck 5
Truck 22 = Truck 8
Truck 24 = Truck 9

Several other units received new designations as well:

Rescue 10 = Rescue 2
Rescue 23 = Rescue 1
Water Rescue 24 = Water Rescue 3
Hazmat 3 = Hazmat 1
Foam Tender 8 = Foam Tender 2
Foam Tender 21 = Foam Tender 1
Technical Rescue 10 = Technical Rescue 1
Airlight 11 = Airlight 1
