Dispatch will use “military time” to complete a transmission.

To convert standard time to military time, add the number 12 to the standard time. For example, “2:00 pm” in standard time converts to “1400 hours” in military time.

Vehicle Identification System

When operating the radio, your identification relates to the vehicle you are using during an incident. The following table lists the vehicle identification used by the department:

OVFD Vehicle Identification System
201 | Black Dodge
202 | Yellow Ford
203 | Maribel
204 | Red 6X6
205 | Yellow 6X6

To identify yourself on the radio, state the department name followed by the vehicle number; for example, Oral 202, would be pronounced as “Oral two-zero-two.”
