MEMORANDUM #72

---

Dear Members,

Several new vehicles have been recently acquired and will be entering service today.

• Ladder Truck
• Lifeguard Caracara
• Marked Landstalker

The following vehicles are being taken out of service, effective immediately:

• Quint 2, Quint 7
• Lifeguard Patrol 1, Lifeguard Patrol 2, Lifeguard Patrol 3, Lifeguard Recovery, Lifeguard Patrol Reserve
• EMS-1 (Caracara)

These are the additions and the following callsigns shall be observed, keeping in mind that some are new:

• Ladder Truck: Truck 2, Truck 6, Truck 7
• Landstalker: PIO, EMS-1, Command 22, and various Chief callsigns.

Command 22 is now the callsign for the Assistant Chief of Operations while on marked patrol and is the duty chief over all Battalions. The AC of Ops may still use Chief 3 as a personal take-home vehicle.
