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
