Note: The run cards above are a partial listing provided for quick reference only. Additional coverage assignments for other fire departments were left off for simplicity purposes. These run cards are in effect as of the date posted with them. It is interesting to use the run cards to track and compare the flow of apparatus to fires in various parts of town. It is important to remember that these cards reflect resources available when they were written. Additional apparatus, changes in station assignments, staffing issues, and individual department policies may have changed since these cards were written. This may have an effect on the actual apparatus response to incidents when they occur.
