Apparatus Plate Assignments

I noticed some number designations as "reserved" and some "reserved" with a particular departments name attached.

I would guess that the reserved numbers with department names are unit numbers that these departments had at one time, or are just reserves for the future.

Who reserved the unit numbers without a department name?

Who reserved the unit numbers without a department name?

The county dept of emergency service.

The "reserved's" without a Department name are only in the Ladder & Tower Ladder lists. The list reflects that there should only be either a Ladder or a Tower Ladder with any single number. When Ossining FD got their TL, the previously assigned L42 designation was placed into "reserved" so that no future L42 would be assigned as long as OFD has TL42. This is not always the case, the lower numbers still reflect when both TL's & Lad's were assigned the same number.
