In 1987 the department started a new way of assigning numbers to fires; All incidents (meaning an Engine, Ladder or Rescue Company response) are numbered consecutively. The last two numbers of the year (i.e., 95 for 1995) would be followed by the PFD response number. For instance the second response for the year 1995 would be incident # 950002
