Just a question for those in the know...... In the city's CAD system there are abbreviations for the units.... some are easy, but others I am unsure of I am assuming (would like corrections if anyone knows) E=engine T=truck A=ambulance R=rescue unit B=Boat RAT=Rapid ____ Truck (arial or assist or? ) C=Command car (chief, ems boss etc) WMD17=this is a new one, I am assuming a new homeland security type unit Does anyone know of others or any corrections? Thanks, Ted

RAT is Rapid Assistance Team, I am pretty sure. About six truck companies are designated as RATs. I think not too long ago there was an entry somewhere in this forum regarding two additional trucks that became RATs.

RAT = Rapid Assistance Team D = District WMD = Weapons of Mass Destruction (trailer at the 17's) M = MAC 1 C = Car (any unit designated Car XXX) FP = Fire Photographer SA = Salvation Army
I imagine there are designators for ARFF 18 and Tanker 19 also.
