>Home > Operations > Callsigns

Call signs are used to communicate with fire control and other appliances by radio and are also used to mobilise appliances via the turnout system.

Every emergency vehicle in Hereford and Worcester has it's own call sign, currently made up of two digits to identify the station that it is from, and a single digit to identify the type of vehicle it is. Equipment that is towed on a trailer is prefixed with a letter and "new dimensions" vehicles (appliances supplied by government) have their own style call signs. These can all be seen in the table below.

Below is a table showing the radio call signs in use.
