Probie question...

[gb1k]

Hey guys/gals, I am fairly new to my dept (3 months) and wondering why FF's refer to the stations with the "s" after the the number. Example: "25's" I was going to ask a senior FF but figured I would ask here first. Thanks in advance!

Gb1k's House?

25's Station or 25's for short

[GTRider245]

13's house....24's first in...etc.

[pasobuff]

Generally, it indicates what apparatus is housed there.....Eng 25 is housed there - so it is 25's house...etc.....

We dont. At all. Going to 13...Detailed to 19...Richard Head works at 14.

We don't use the plural either.

[Lewiston2FF]

That would be the posessive. Plural indicates multiples, posessives have the 's.

Do not take this the wrong way.

You have the chance to ask somoene from your department, who understands why the department does things and understand its' traditions.

Instead you feel it is better to log onto an international forum, whose members have NO idea where you are from, what department it is in question, and most likely do it completely different than your department.

Ask yourself, did that make any sense?

It probably did at the time. Not wanting to seem foolish about something simple. Give the kid a break. Wait until his 10th post or so...then kick him in the gonads.

Here we go again. Some poor new guy asks a simple, honest question and he gets sh*t on.

I'm sorry I hold common sense to a much more valued level.

And if you call that "$hit on" you must have paper thin skin.

Yea but then it's no fun. Plus as Sean Avery pointed out, its "seconds"

[CaptOldTimer]

If I were you, which I am not, I would have asked the Officer of my company or some of the members in the company about it.

For what it's worth, I always said I 'll being working at 5 Engine or 3 Truck the next day, if I was detailed out, to my wife. Just in case she would want to know!
