Question: Why is Briarcliff's antique known as Patrol 16? Was she once a Rescue/Patrol? Thanks.

Patrol is an old designation that the county eliminated sometime around 1998. Patrol Companies often did traffic/salvage. Some had pumps on their apparatus and did initial attack, some did not. When the designation was eliminated some Patrols became Rescues,others utilities.

Pleasantville Patrol 7 became Rescue 47. Does anyone else know what other Patrols became?

Chappaqua had two IIRC, Patrol 13 and the other I do not remember. After a rebuild it became Rescue 23.
